Description

Micro-interface preparation system and method for formic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of formic acid preparation, in particular to a system and a method for preparing a micro interface of formic acid.
Background
Formic acid (CAS number: 64-18-6), also known as formic acid, is carboxylic acid with the least carbon number, has stronger acidity and is an important raw material for modern organic chemical industry. The formic acid synthesis method comprises (1) a methanol carbonylation synthesis method, wherein methanol and carbon monoxide are catalyzed by a catalyst to react to generate methyl formate, and then the methyl formate is hydrolyzed to obtain formic acid and methanol; (2) the formamide method is characterized in that carbon monoxide and amine are catalyzed by a catalyst to generate formamide in a methanol solution, and then the formamide is hydrolyzed under an acidic condition to obtain formic acid; (3) the carbon dioxide method directly prepares the formic acid by catalyzing the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide through a catalyst.
Among the above formic acid synthesis methods, the carbon dioxide hydrogenation for formic acid production which has been emerging for nearly 20 years has the highest theoretical atom economy, and is a very potential formic acid synthesis route. However, because the formation of formic acid by the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen is thermodynamically limited, the existing processes all require the addition of an organic or inorganic base to react with formic acid to form formate in the reaction system to drive the reaction toward the formation of formic acidAnd (4) moving. For example, Nature Catal (2018,1,743-747) reports a method for preparing formic acid by using copper carbene as a catalyst to catalyze the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, but the reaction needs to add an excessive amount of a strong organic base diazabicyclo to react with the formic acid; angew. chem. int.Ed. (2019,58,722-726) reports a method for preparing formic acid by catalyzing the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas by using tris (pentafluorophenyl) boron as a catalyst, but excessive inorganic base potassium carbonate is added for the reaction with the formic acid; in patent CN201810255395.8, a method for preparing formic acid by using ruthenium complex as a catalyst to catalyze carbon dioxide hydrogenation is reported, and excessive KHCO is required for the reaction3To react with formic acid to drive the process; in patent CN105367404B, a method for preparing formic acid by carbon dioxide hydrogenation with a nano-porous palladium catalyst is reported, in which an excessive amount of sodium hydroxide or sodium tert-butoxide is required to react with formic acid to drive the process; patent CN106622224A reports a method for preparing formic acid by hydrogenation of carbon dioxide with a nanogold-based catalyst, and the reaction needs an excessive amount of triethylamine or triethanolamine to react with formic acid to drive the process to proceed. In addition, because formic acid is strong in acidity and can react with a plurality of organic metal compounds, the catalyst reported by the existing method is unstable under the formic acid condition, so that the catalyst is quickly deactivated.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.
Disclosure of Invention
The first purpose of the present invention is to provide a micro-interface preparation system, which, on one hand, promotes smooth progress of the reaction by providing a reaction rectifying tower, thereby avoiding the need of adding organic or inorganic alkali to promote the process of preparing formic acid by the reaction, improving the reaction efficiency and simplifying the reaction operation, and on the other hand, by arranging a micro-interface generator in the reaction rectifying tower to efficiently break the entering gas phase into micron-sized bubbles, and dispersing the micron-sized bubbles into a solvent and a catalyst to form a micro-interface system, so as to improve the gas-liquid phase interface area in the reaction gas-liquid by tens of times, and greatly improve the mass transfer rate from the gas phase to the liquid phase.
The second purpose of the invention is to provide a method for preparing formic acid by adopting the micro-interface preparation system, the preparation method is simple and convenient to operate, the obtained formic acid has high purity and high product quality, and the method is worthy of wide popularization and application.
In order to achieve the above purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:
the invention provides a micro-interface preparation system, comprising: the side wall of the reactive distillation tower is sequentially provided with a hydrogen inlet, a carbon dioxide inlet and a mixed inlet of a solvent and a catalyst from top to bottom;
the reaction rectifying tower is internally provided with a pneumatic micro-interface generator and a hydraulic micro-interface generator, the pneumatic micro-interface generator is arranged between tower plates in the reaction rectifying tower and communicated with a hydrogen inlet for dispersing and crushing the entering hydrogen, the hydraulic micro-interface generator is arranged at the bottom close to the reaction rectifying tower and communicated with a carbon dioxide inlet for dispersing and crushing the entering carbon dioxide, and the micro-interface generator is arranged in a downcomer inside the reaction rectifying tower;
the mixed inlet of the solvent and the catalyst is arranged at the bottom of the reaction rectifying tower and is used for filling the whole reaction rectifying tower with the entering solvent and catalyst;
the top of the reaction rectifying tower is provided with a formic acid outlet for discharging the product formic acid, and the formic acid discharged from the formic acid outlet is further subjected to reaction and purification.
In the formic acid synthesis method in the prior art, because the formation of formic acid by the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen is thermodynamically limited, organic or inorganic base needs to be added into a reaction system in the prior art to react with formic acid to form formate, so as to push the reaction to move towards the formation of formic acid. For example, Nature Catal (2018,1,743-747) reports a method for preparing formic acid by using copper carbene as a catalyst to catalyze the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, but the reaction needs to add an excessive amount of a strong organic base diazabicyclo to react with the formic acid; angew. chem. int.Ed. (2019,58,722-726) reports a method for preparing formic acid by catalyzing the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas by using tris (pentafluorophenyl) boron as a catalyst, but excessive inorganic base potassium carbonate is added for the reaction with the formic acid; specially for cleaningIn the patent of CN201810255395.8, a method for preparing formic acid by using ruthenium complex as a catalyst to catalyze carbon dioxide hydrogenation is reported, and excessive KHCO is required for the reaction3To react with formic acid to drive the process; in patent CN105367404B, a method for preparing formic acid by carbon dioxide hydrogenation with a nano-porous palladium catalyst is reported, in which an excessive amount of sodium hydroxide or sodium tert-butoxide is required to react with formic acid to drive the process; patent CN106622224A reports a method for preparing formic acid by carbon dioxide hydrogenation with a nanogold-based catalyst, the reaction needs to be carried out by reacting with formic acid with excessive triethylamine or triethanolamine, and the like, and thus it can be seen that in the prior art, a certain amount of organic or inorganic base needs to be added to promote the reaction.
The reaction rectifying tower is internally provided with a plurality of tower plates, a catalyst and a solvent enter from a tower bottom, hydrogen and carbon dioxide enter from the middle section of the reaction rectifying tower, in order to improve the reaction effect, two types of micro-interface generators of the reaction rectifying tower are different, the micro-interface generator positioned at the upper part is a pneumatic micro-interface generator, the micro-interface generator positioned at the lower part is a hydraulic micro-interface generator, the hydraulic micro-interface generator is arranged at the tower bottom of the reaction rectifying tower to be close to a mixed inlet of the solvent and the catalyst, and the hydraulic micro-interface generator is selectively communicated with the carbon dioxide inlet. Since this allows better reaction of the carbon dioxide introduced first with the liquid phase.
During actual hydrogenation operation, firstly introducing carbon dioxide into a reaction rectifying tower for vacuum displacement for 2-3 times, then introducing the carbon dioxide to a certain pressure, introducing the carbon dioxide into a micro-interface generator for dispersion and crushing, subsequently introducing hydrogen to a certain pressure, introducing the hydrogen into the micro-interface generator for dispersion and crushing, performing dispersion and crushing on two gas phases after dispersion and crushing, remarkably improving the reaction effect of the subsequent hydrogenation reaction, heating to the reaction temperature, reacting for 8-10 hours generally, and collecting a formic acid solution product from the top of the tower.
It should be noted that each micro-interface generator set in the micro-interface preparation system of the invention is not only different in its own type, but also different in the type of the gas phase to be introduced, the pneumatic micro-interface generator is communicated with the hydrogen inlet, the hydraulic micro-interface generator is communicated with the carbon dioxide inlet, carbon dioxide is introduced first, and hydrogen is introduced later, so the micro-interface generator set at the bottom is a hydraulic micro-interface generator, which is to approach the liquid phase entering from the bottom, and the entering liquid phase is used as the entrainment power, thereby further improving the entrainment and crushing effect of the gas, so the entering carbon dioxide can be better dispersed and crushed under the condition that the catalyst and the solvent are the medium, the effect of mutual close contact is improved, when the carbon dioxide is sufficiently dispersed and crushed, hydrogen is introduced from the gas phase micro-interface generator at the top of the tower, the hydrogen and the carbon dioxide which enter the reactor can be ensured to react violently, and the reaction effect is improved.
Therefore, the micro-interface preparation system of the invention just needs to adopt the micro-interface generator to disperse and crush the two gas-phase raw materials, so the setting position, the specific type and the sample introduction mode of the micro-interface generator need to be adjusted according to the type of the gas-phase raw materials, thereby achieving the optimal reaction effect.
In a word, the micro-interface generator in the reaction rectifying tower breaks the gas phase into micro-bubbles with micron scale, and releases the micro-bubbles into the reaction rectifying tower, so as to increase the phase boundary mass transfer area between the gas phase and the liquid phase in the hydrogenation reaction, fully contact the two phases, improve the reaction efficiency, shorten the reaction time and fully reduce the reaction pressure and temperature.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the micro-interface generator used in the present invention is described in the prior patents of the present inventor, such as the patents of application numbers CN201610641119.6, CN201610641251.7, CN201710766435.0, CN106187660, CN105903425A, CN109437390A, CN205833127U and CN 207581700U. The detailed structure and operation principle of the micro bubble generator (i.e. micro interface generator) is described in detail in the prior patent CN201610641119.6, which describes that "the micro bubble generator comprises a body and a secondary crushing member, wherein the body is provided with a cavity, the body is provided with an inlet communicated with the cavity, the opposite first end and second end of the cavity are both open, and the cross-sectional area of the cavity decreases from the middle of the cavity to the first end and second end of the cavity; the secondary crushing member is disposed at least one of the first end and the second end of the cavity, a portion of the secondary crushing member is disposed within the cavity, and an annular passage is formed between the secondary crushing member and the through holes open at both ends of the cavity. The micron bubble generator also comprises an air inlet pipe and a liquid inlet pipe. "the specific working principle of the structure disclosed in the application document is as follows: liquid enters the micro-bubble generator tangentially through the liquid inlet pipe, and gas is rotated at a super high speed and cut to break gas bubbles into micro-bubbles at a micron level, so that the mass transfer area between a liquid phase and a gas phase is increased, and the micro-bubble generator in the patent belongs to a pneumatic micro-interface generator.
In addition, the first patent 201610641251.7 describes that the primary bubble breaker has a circulation liquid inlet, a circulation gas inlet and a gas-liquid mixture outlet, and the secondary bubble breaker communicates the feed inlet with the gas-liquid mixture outlet, which indicates that the bubble breakers all need to be mixed with gas and liquid, and in addition, as can be seen from the following drawings, the primary bubble breaker mainly uses the circulation liquid as power, so that the primary bubble breaker belongs to a hydraulic micro-interface generator, and the secondary bubble breaker simultaneously introduces the gas-liquid mixture into an elliptical rotating ball for rotation, thereby realizing bubble breaking in the rotating process, so that the secondary bubble breaker actually belongs to a gas-liquid linkage micro-interface generator. In fact, the micro-interface generator is a specific form of the micro-interface generator, whether it is a hydraulic micro-interface generator or a gas-liquid linkage micro-interface generator, however, the micro-interface generator adopted in the present invention is not limited to the above forms, and the specific structure of the bubble breaker described in the prior patent is only one of the forms that the micro-interface generator of the present invention can adopt.
Furthermore, the prior patent 201710766435.0 states that the principle of the bubble breaker is that high-speed jet flows are used to achieve mutual collision of gases, and also states that the bubble breaker can be used in a micro-interface strengthening reactor to verify the correlation between the bubble breaker and the micro-interface generator; moreover, in the prior patent CN106187660, there is a related description on the specific structure of the bubble breaker, see paragraphs [0031] to [0041] in the specification, and the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the specific working principle of the bubble breaker S-2 in detail, the top of the bubble breaker is a liquid phase inlet, and the side of the bubble breaker is a gas phase inlet, and the liquid phase coming from the top provides the entrainment power, so as to achieve the effect of breaking into ultra-fine bubbles, and in the accompanying drawings, the bubble breaker is also seen to be of a tapered structure, and the diameter of the upper part is larger than that of the lower part, and also for better providing the entrainment power for the liquid phase.
Since the micro-interface generator was just developed in the early stage of the prior patent application, the micro-interface generator was named as a micro-bubble generator (CN201610641119.6), a bubble breaker (201710766435.0) and the like in the early stage, and is named as a micro-interface generator in the later stage along with the continuous technical improvement, and the micro-interface generator in the present invention is equivalent to the micro-bubble generator, the bubble breaker and the like in the prior art, and has different names.
