Description

Preparation method and device of propylene glycol primary mono-tert-butyl ether
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method and a device of propylene glycol primary mono-tertiary butyl ether.
Background
After the ethanol gasoline for vehicles is popularized and used nationwide in 2020, MTBE is disabled. At present, domestic isobutene is mainly used for producing MTBE, and with popularization and use of ethanol gasoline for vehicles, a large amount of isobutene faces no available embarrassment. At the same time, the mixed C4 containing isobutene is not suitable for raw materials for other many purposes, such as sec-butyl acetate, butanone, alkylation oil and the like. Finding a new way to utilize isobutene is a problem to be solved urgently.
The propylene glycol butyl ether series is a very promising environment-friendly solvent because of its slightly toxic and more pleasant smell. The use of the detergent composition in industrial/household cleaning formulations is extremely safe and is accepted by many developed countries, especially japan. The evaporation rate is similar to that of ethylene glycol butyl ether, and the ethylene glycol butyl ether is a good substitute for the ethylene glycol butyl ether. The paint has wide application in the aspects of paint, cleaning agent, printing ink, leather and the like. In the process of dye dissolution, the dye can be used for replacing an alcoholic solvent, and is a good coupling agent. In addition, the propylene glycol butyl ether series can be used as a film forming additive for water-based paint, photoresist, PS plate cleaning, printing, electronic chemicals, jet engine fuel additives (waterproofing agents), extractants, high boiling point solvents and the like.
At present, the patent technology for synthesizing propylene glycol tertiary butyl ether is less, most of the prior art is used for synthesizing other propylene glycol ether substances, and the main method is that propylene oxide is subjected to ring opening and reaction with lower alcohols (such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and the like). The method has the advantages of complex product types, not only propylene glycol ethers, but also dipropylene glycol ethers and tripropylene glycol ethers, high reaction control difficulty, poor safety, poor reaction selectivity and low product purity.
Chinese patent CN201410448311.4 discloses a process for preparing glycol mono-tert-butyl ether by alkylation of glycol, liquefied petroleum gas and acid catalyst at 40-100 deg.c and 0.5-5.0MPa to obtain glycol mono-tert-butyl ether. The invention has the beneficial effects that: the liquefied petroleum gas containing isobutene can be used as a reaction raw material, dihydric alcohol and an acidic catalyst are matched, and the contact time and the reaction temperature of the reaction materials are controlled, so that a dihydric alcohol tertiary butyl ether crude product with high selectivity can be obtained.
Chinese patent CN201510434672.8 discloses a process for producing diol tert-butyl ether. The invention uses saturated dihydric alcohol and liquefied petroleum gas as raw materials, and is matched with certain reaction temperature, pressure and space velocity and uses a specific tubular reactor to carry out addition reaction, the saturated dihydric alcohol has high conversion rate, high reaction selectivity, no side reaction, environmental protection, wide applicability and high yield.
Chinese patent CN201410481274.7 discloses a method for synthesizing propylene glycol butyl ether, which is characterized in that: the butanol and propylene oxide are added into a high-pressure reaction kettle together with catalyst perchlorate with the dosage of 0.005-0.05% (w) according to the mol ratio of 1-5:1, the mixture is heated to 100-150 ℃ under the stirring condition and the reaction pressure is 0.2-0.5MPa, the mixture is reacted for 1-2 hours, the mixture of butanol, propylene glycol butyl ether and dipropylene glycol butyl ether is obtained, and the mixture is subjected to continuous rectification separation, so that the propylene glycol butyl ether product and the byproduct dipropylene glycol butyl ether are obtained. The perchlorate catalyst adopted by the invention has higher catalytic activity, low catalyst consumption and short reaction time, and meanwhile, the selectivity of the primary ether in the product is higher, and the monoether conversion rate is high, so that the method is suitable for industrial production.
The above patents are all methods for preparing glycol butyl ether, most of which are reaction parts, and do not relate to a separation method, but only patent CN201410481274.7 mentions that separation is carried out by adopting continuous rectification separation and by-products after reaction, but also does not relate to a specific separation method.
Other related patent technologies disclosed in the prior art are all related patents for preparing high-purity isobutene by using propylene glycol tertiary butyl ether and no propylene glycol mono tertiary butyl ether.
Patent CN107778123a discloses a method for preparing isobutene, which is to prepare high-purity isobutene in a circulating fluidized bed by using glycol ether generated by the reaction of C4 and glycol under the action of a molecular sieve catalyst.
CN204589030U, CN105985215A discloses a cracking system for preparing high purity isobutylene using propylene glycol tert-butyl ether. Compared with the MTBE cracking method, the method has the advantages of low cracking temperature, no need of water washing, low energy consumption, less tower, low investment and low running cost.
How to find a method for preparing propylene glycol primary mono-tertiary butyl ether with high conversion rate and high selectivity by utilizing the existing isobutene resources, and can effectively separate a reaction mixture to obtain the propylene glycol primary mono-tertiary butyl ether with high purity after separation, thus the method is a problem to be solved by the invention.
