Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing methyl acrylate by using methyl acetate, a solid base catalyst and a preparation method of the solid base catalyst, and mainly relates to a catalyst for preparing methyl acrylate by condensing methyl acetate and formaldehyde and a preparation method of the catalyst.
Background
Methyl acrylate is an important fine chemical raw material with wide application, is mainly used for organic synthesis intermediates and high molecular monomers, and polymers prepared by taking methyl acrylate as monomers are widely used in the industries of coatings, textiles, leathers, adhesives and the like.
The acrylic acid and its ester are produced mainly by the propylene oxidation method, the acrylonitrile hydrolysis method, the vinyl ketone method, the propane oxidation method, the methyl formate method, and the like. However, the methods have the defects of serious pollution, high energy consumption, low product yield and the like. Therefore, the development of a green and efficient new production process has very important significance.
The well established alpha-MMA process is proposed by Lucite, Inc., which uses methyl methacrylate prepared from methyl propionate and formaldehyde. However, the process route of the Lucite company is not suitable for the national conditions of China. The national condition of China is that the production capacity of methyl acetate is greatly surplus. However, the process route of Lu Cai Te company is to synthesize the raw material of methyl methacrylate from methyl propionate, and the consumed raw material is methyl propionate, so that the problem of surplus methyl acetate production in China cannot be solved. Therefore, what is needed in the art is to realize green synthesis of methyl acrylate by using an industrial byproduct, namely methyl acetate, as a raw material, using a safe, environment-friendly and nontoxic solid base catalyst and using a clean synthesis process.
In view of this, in order to solve the problem of the large surplus of the productivity of methyl acetate in China, the synthesis of methyl acrylate by using methyl acetate and formaldehyde as raw materials and adopting a novel catalyst is proposed on the basis of the mature alpha-MMA process proposed by Lucite (Lucite) company at present. The catalyst reaction-regeneration fluidized bed coupling system is adopted, and the problems of short one-way service life, easy carbon deposition and frequent regeneration of the catalyst are solved. At present, the conversion per pass of methyl acetate is generally 15%, the selectivity of methyl acrylate can generally reach 85%, and the yield of methyl acrylate is generally 13.5%. But at present, industrialization still cannot be realized, and the key point is that the comprehensive improvement of yield, selectivity and catalyst stability cannot be achieved. In recent years, many units at home and abroad further research on the synthesis of methyl acrylate from methyl acetate and formaldehyde.
In the "catalyst science and technology" (6417-6430 at 2016) (Zhang guoliang, et Al, Catal. Sci. Techniol., 2016,6,6417-6430), Zhang Liang et Al, proceedings of the Chinese academy of sciences, reported that methyl acetate and formaldehyde were used as raw materials, and Cs-P/Al was used2O3The yield of the catalyst, namely methyl acrylate, reaches 40%, but the catalyst is quickly deactivated within 100h, and the stability needs to be further improved.
In the university of Qizihaar, proceedings of the university of Qizihaar (2007, 23(1) Vol., 24-26 pages), the Yongsheng of leaves adopts K+/SiO2Solid superbase catalyst, at 300 ℃, space velocity of 4.5h-1, aldehyde-ester ratio of 1: 3, the yield of methyl acrylate is 31%, but the stability and selectivity results of the catalyst are not given. After repeated experiments, researchers found that the conversion rate was still low.
Chinese patent No. CN104703696A reports that the LouTot International British Co., Ltd adopts Cs catalyst, regenerant and freshener for preparing methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid from methyl propionate and formaldehyde, and the total selectivity of the two reaches 95%. The disadvantage is that the product also contains methacrylic acid and that due to the limitations of catalyst stability the cleaning process has to be increased often, thus increasing the production costs.
Chinese patent (CN 101575290A) discloses a method for synthesizing methyl acrylate by a catalyst sectional filling mode, wherein a phosphorus vanadium catalyst and a Cs catalyst are filled in a sectional mode, and the selectivity of a product is improved by changing the acidity and alkalinity of the catalyst. The disadvantage is that although the problem of low reaction conversion rate is solved, additional equipment is required; and the selectivity is not high.
Chinese patent No. CN103506107A discloses a catalyst with cesium oxide as active component, which adopts gas phase condensation reaction, the reaction temperature is above 380 deg.C, and the product contains acrylic acid product besides methyl acrylate. The disadvantage is that the selectivity is not high due to the presence of acrylic acid product.
In conclusion, the research on the synthesis of methyl acrylate by using methyl acetate and formaldehyde as raw materials is not industrialized, and is only in the research stage at present, but the cost advantage is very obvious as a new process route, and the process is mainly developed by large-scale transnational chemical companies by investing manpower and material resources.
Therefore, in view of the above, there is a need in the art for a synthetic route of methyl acrylate and a corresponding solid base catalyst, which can improve yield and selectivity, and simultaneously maintain catalytic activity for a long time, thereby realizing industrialization and solving the problem of large surplus of methyl acetate production.

In order to obtain a stronger catalyst, the catalyst preparation preferably has a drying step after step (ii) and before step (iii). The process conditions for the specific drying can be reasonably determined by the person skilled in the art without having to resort to inventive work, as non-limiting examples:
the drying temperature is preferably 40 to 120 ℃, for example, but not limited to, 45 ℃, 50 ℃, 60 ℃, 70 ℃, 80 ℃, 90 ℃, 100 ℃, 110 ℃, and the like.

Discussion of results
As shown in comparative examples 1-2, the solid base catalyst prepared by the impregnation method is mainly adopted in the prior art. It can be seen that the silicon spheres for preparation thereof have a silicon hydroxyl group density of 2.5 to 3, which is hydrothermally unstable and shows pore expansion and specific surface loss.
Comparative example 3 shows that when the density of the silicon hydroxyl groups is less than 0.6, the loading of the active component is not facilitated, resulting in a lower catalyst activity.
It can be known from the background art and the comparative example that for the reaction of methyl acetate/methyl propionate and formaldehyde to directly prepare methyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate, the prior art mainly adopts a solid base catalyst loaded with Cs, and the optimal catalytic performance can be achieved only by requiring uniform distribution of base centers and high base strength, so that a strong-alkaline solid base catalyst needs to be prepared. Meanwhile, water is generated in the condensation reaction, and the catalyst is in a high-temperature hydrothermal environment, so that pore expansion of the silicon dioxide carrier is easily caused, the specific surface area is reduced, and the catalytic activity is reduced. In addition, because the high-temperature gas-phase condensation process has high requirements on the Cs catalyst, the existing reported result adopts a high-temperature gas-phase condensation form, the reaction temperature is high, the inactivation is quick, a reaction-regeneration regular switching system is generally considered, and the reaction can be continuously carried out.
