Description

Two-step preparation method of 6-aminocapronitrile
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of hexamethylene diamine, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a key intermediate 6-aminocapronitrile of hexamethylene diamine by a two-step method.
Background
1, 6-hexamethylene diamine is an important intermediate of high-performance materials such as nylon 66, nylon 610 and the like, is also used in the production of polyurethane such as 1, 6-Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI), and can also be used as a curing agent of urea resin and epoxy resin.
The production method of hexamethylenediamine is mainly four according to different raw materials, namely a butadiene method, an acrylonitrile method, a adipic acid method and a caprolactam method.
The butadiene method generally adopts a complex of transition metals such as Rh, Ni, Ru and the like as a catalyst, introduces hydrocyanic acid of two molecules into butadiene, prepares adiponitrile through addition reaction, and prepares 1, 6-hexamethylene diamine through hydrogenation; the method has the advantages of low cost of raw materials for production, easy automatic control of equipment and good product quality; the disadvantages of using virulent hydrocyanic acid, having extremely high requirements on production equipment, operation and management, great occupational hazards, great difficulty in catalyst preparation technology and high construction investment.
The method for synthesizing adiponitrile by electrolytic dimerization of acrylonitrile uses propylene as a raw material, converts the propylene into acrylonitrile by using oxygen, ammonia gas and a catalyst, further electrolytically reduces the acrylonitrile into adiponitrile, and then obtains 1, 6-hexamethylene diamine by hydrogenation reduction and refining of the adiponitrile; the method has the advantages of simple process flow and high conversion rate; the defects are that the electrolysis process has more technical nodes, great control difficulty and high safety risk.
Adipic acid is aminated and dehydrated in a molten state to prepare adiponitrile by a adipic acid method, and 1, 6-hexamethylene diamine is obtained by hydrogenation reduction and refining; the method has the advantages that the technical route is relatively mature, the yield of the raw material adipic acid is excessive, and the manufacturing cost of the adiponitrile gradually has certain competitiveness along with the reduction of the manufacturing cost of the adipic acid; the disadvantages are high energy consumption, easy coking and corrosion of the reactor, low product yield and poor quality.
The caprolactam method is originated from 60 s in the 20 th century, and waste nylon is depolymerized to obtain caprolactam by a Nippon Dongli company, and the caprolactam is reacted with ammonia gas under the action of a catalyst to obtain 6-aminocapronitrile, and the 6-aminocapronitrile is further subjected to hydrogenation reduction and refining to obtain 1, 6-hexamethylenediamine. The process has high caprolactam raw material price and high product manufacturing cost, and cannot be popularized on a large scale, and the production of a Nippon Dongli device is stopped in 1989.
However, with the improvement of the caprolactam preparation process, particularly with the popularization and application of a new process, the total caprolactam yield in 2019 at home and abroad is 771 ten thousand tons/year, wherein the domestic capacity is 401 ten thousand tons/year, the foreign capacity is 370 ten thousand tons/year, the Chinese capacity accounts for up to 52%, and the domestic capacity in 2021 can reach 559 ten thousand tons; experts predict that caprolactam production will reach 1000 ten thousand tons in 2025; the process for preparing hexamethylenediamine by caprolactam is also more competitive with the reduction of the manufacturing cost of caprolactam.
The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201710943063.4 discloses a method and a device for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile by a one-step liquid phase method caprolactam liquid phase method, the process is to carry out ammonolysis dehydration on caprolactam and ammonia in a reaction kettle under the condition of taking phosphoric acid or phosphate as a catalyst to prepare 6-aminocapronitrile, but the caprolactam conversion rate in the process is only 50-60 percent, and the catalyst is difficult to recover, and the manufacturing cost is higher.
The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201710942344.8 discloses a method for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile by a caprolactam gas phase one-step method, which comprises the steps of heating and vaporizing caprolactam, mixing the caprolactam with hot ammonia gas, and contacting the caprolactam with a catalyst through a fixed bed reactor for ammoniation and dehydration reaction to prepare 6-aminocapronitrile, wherein the patent process describes that the reaction conversion rate is improved to 96%. However, caprolactam is easy to generate ring-opening self-polymerization in the processes of vaporization and reaction in the presence of a trace amount of water, which reduces the reaction selectivity, and the generated polymers are all attached to the surface of the catalyst and coked under the high-temperature condition, thereby influencing the stable operation of the device and the service life of the catalyst.
The Chinese patent application with the application number of 202010525804.9 discloses a method and a device for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile by a two-step method. As water is firstly used for hydrolytic ring opening in the first step of reaction, more energy is consumed to remove free water after the reaction is finished, the polymerization degree of caprolactam is increased due to the introduction of water, and polymers are easy to coke at high temperature after the subsequent catalytic ammoniation dehydration, so that the total yield of the reaction is unstable, and the quality of products is also influenced.
