Description

Method for preparing methyl acetate by dimethyl ether carbonylation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of dimethyl ether carbonylation for preparing methyl acetate, and particularly relates to a method for preparing methyl acetate by dimethyl ether carbonylation.
Background
With the increasing energy demand and the increasing contradiction of the shortage of petroleum supply and the increasing of the global environmental pressure, the fuel ethanol is generally concerned by countries in the world due to the cleanness and environmental protection of the fuel ethanol, the ethanol is used as an important clean energy source and is mixed with gasoline in a proportion of 10 percent, and the fuel ethanol gasoline can reduce the emission of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon in automobile exhaust, thereby having important significance for solving the problem of atmospheric pollution in China and realizing sustainable development. After the global fuel ethanol yield is increased rapidly in 2006-2010, the global fuel ethanol yield is influenced by grain consumption disputes, and the global fuel ethanol yield is increased and slowed down in 2011-2013 and is maintained at the level of 830-857 hundred million liters per year. In 2014, the fuel ethanol market has been recovered to a certain extent, and the fuel ethanol market is increased by 5 percent on a par. The worldwide demand for fuel ethanol will reach 17753 million tons in 2025 as predicted by the united states energy information center.
At present, fuel ethanol is mainly divided into grain ethanol, non-grain ethanol and cellulosic ethanol. Grain ethanol is prepared from grains such as corn and wheat, and the production of grain ethanol and non-grain ethanol occupies more farmlands, so that the grain ethanol has the problem of competing for grains with people and livestock, and is gradually limited or prohibited by relevant policies of governments of various countries. China is a country rich in coal and less in oil, so that ethanol prepared by coal chemical industry conforms to the basic national conditions of China. In recent years, researchers at home and abroad explore an economic, environment-friendly and green process route of 'synthesis gas → methanol → dimethyl ether → methyl acetate → ethanol'. At present, the total yield of the domestic dimethyl ether device can reach about 1400 million tons, but the operating rate is only 38%, and the problem that the dimethyl ether capacity is seriously excessive is solved by the route.
At present, a technical route of 'dimethyl ether → methyl acetate → ethanol' is developed domestically, dimethyl ether and carbon monoxide are subjected to carbonylation reaction to generate methyl acetate, and methyl acetate and hydrogen are subjected to hydrogenation reaction to generate ethanol, wherein the technology for preparing ethanol by methyl acetate hydrogenation is mature, and industrial application is realized.
In the patent CN 104338553A, the activity and stability of the dimethyl ether carbonylation reaction can be improved by treating the ZSM-35 molecular sieve with microwave acid and alkali. In patent CN 101613274A, organic amine such as pyridine is used to modify mordenite molecular sieve catalyst, the selectivity of methyl acetate is more than 99%, and the stability of catalyst life is greatly improved to more than 50 hours. The patent CN 103896766A improves that the one-way service life of the mordenite catalyst can be prolonged to more than 1000 hours by adding organic amine such as pyridine and the like in the feed, and the problem of short service life of the mordenite catalyst can be well solved by the pyridine modification method. In patent CN 106311336A, methyl or acetyl organic matter is used to selectively modify the pore canal of the silk molecular sieve, so that the single-pass service life of the catalyst for the dimethyl ether carbonylation reaction is prolonged to more than 600 hours. Liu Yahua et al (report in chemical engineering, 2017, 68 (10): 3816-3822.) optimize the carbon burning condition of the hydrogen-type mordenite molecular sieve catalyst after the carbonylation reaction, almost completely recover the activity of the regenerated catalyst, but the carbon burning regeneration temperature far exceeds the reaction temperature, have high requirements on equipment and increase the equipment investment.
