Description

Process for producing adipic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for producing adipic acid, in particular to a method for producing adipic acid by directly oxidizing cyclohexane.
Background
Adipic acid (adipic acid), also known as adipic acid, is an important organic diacid, and is an important raw material for preparing polyurethane and nylon 66. The international application field of adipic acid in nylon 66 is over 70 percent, and the international application field of adipic acid in polyurethane is 78 percent. At present, the world has four methods for producing adipic acid, namely a phenol method, a cyclohexane method, a cyclohexene method, a butadiene method and the like. Before the fifty years, the production of adipic acid mainly uses phenol as a raw material, and the production of adipic acid by using a phenol method is a more classical method. But the phenol resource is limited, the price is high, the product cost is high, and the phenol is basically eliminated at present. The modern industrial production mainly adopts a cyclohexane method, the yield of which accounts for about 93 percent of the total yield, and the method mainly comprises two steps of adipic acid synthesis. The first step of oxidation of cyclohexane to give cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (KA oil), followed by separation of the reaction mixture, recycling of unreacted cyclohexane, and the second step of oxidation of KA oil to adipic acid with nitric acid. The method has the advantages that: the process is mature, the process is dominant in the production of adipic acid, byproducts are mainly succinic acid and glutaric acid, the separation is easy, and the product is relatively pure. Has the following defects: in the process of synthesizing KA oil, the conversion per pass is low, the conversion rate is generally 5% -12%, and a large amount of strong acid and strong alkali solution is needed, so that equipment is corroded, and the environment is polluted; in the second step, in the process of preparing adipic acid by oxidizing KA oil, the used oxidant is nitric acid, 68 percent of nitric acid is consumed for producing 1t of adipic acid product, the corrosion to equipment is serious, and a large amount of nitrogen oxide compounds which seriously pollute the environment can be generated.
In order to solve the problem, researchers explore a more environment-friendly and simple process route for synthesizing adipic acid by taking cyclohexane as a raw material and air or oxygen as an oxidant, wherein most researches adopt biomimetic catalysis and free radical oxidation modes to convert cyclohexane into adipic acid with high conversion rate and high selectivity
For example, chinese invention patents CN 1247501C (title of the invention: cyclohexane catalytic oxidation process), CN 1218922C (title of the invention: method for preparing adipic acid by air oxidation of hexacyclic carbon ring compound) and CN 1231449C (title of the invention: method for preparing adipic acid by biomimetic catalytic oxygen oxidation of cyclohexane) disclose methods for preparing adipic acid by air oxidation of cyclohexane using metalloporphyrin as a catalyst.
For example, the document Organic Process Research&Development 1998,2,255-260 (article title: direct Conversion of cyclic hexane in o additive Acid with Molecular Oxygen catalyst by N-Hydroxyphthamide composite with Mn (acac) 2 and Co(OAc) 2 ) In Ishii et al, cyclohexane is directly oxidized to adipic acid with oxygen using a free radical catalyst, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI for short), and a small amount of a transition metal promoter. The reaction was carried out in acetic acid solvent with NHPI (10 mol%) and manganese acetylacetonate (1 mol%) as catalysts at 100 ℃ for 20 hours, with a cyclohexane conversion of 73% and an adipic acid yield of 53%.
The cases realize the high-efficiency conversion of cyclohexane to adipic acid, but because side reactions are more in the oxidation process, a plurality of formed byproducts and catalysts cannot be effectively separated from adipic acid, and the byproducts and the catalysts can be coprecipitated with adipic acid in the crystallization process of adipic acid after the reaction is finished, so that the quality of adipic acid products is influenced, and the production of high-quality adipic acid is difficult.
