Description

Preparation of strong alkaline homogeneous phase dihydric alcohol metal salt catalyst and method for synthesizing carbonic ester by using same
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a catalyst and a method for synthesizing carbonic ester by using the catalyst, in particular to a preparation method of a strong-basicity homogeneous phase dihydric alcohol metal salt catalyst and a method for synthesizing carbonic ester by using the catalyst.
Background
Diethyl carbonate (DEC) is linear carbonate, is colorless liquid with ether taste at normal temperature, is insoluble in water, is miscible in most organic solvents, has little harm to the environment, and is slowly decomposed into ethanol and CO2It is a green chemical. DEC is an important organic synthetic intermediate useful as a carbonylation and alkylation reagent; DEC is also an excellent solvent, and can be used as a solvent for synthetic resins, antibiotics, cellulose ethers, paints, plasticizers, phenobarbital, spices and the like, and also can be used as an electrolyte solvent of a lithium ion battery and the like; DEC is also used as a fuel additive for gasoline and diesel, has the advantages of high oxygen content, low toxicity, low vapor pressure, strong volatility resistance, high oil/water distribution coefficient and the like compared with methyl tert-butyl ether, and can reduce pollutant emission and improve the combustion performance of gasoline by adding the DEC. In conclusion, DEC is a green chemical with low toxicity, degradability and wide application prospect.
The DEC synthesis method mainly comprises phosgene method, ethanol oxidation carbonylation method, urea alcoholysis method and CO2Direct conversion and transesterification processes. Phosgene is extremely toxic and causes serious environmental pollution, and the byproduct hydrogen chloride has strong corrosivity on equipment and environment, so the process is eliminated. If the ethanol is catalyzed by halogen-free compounds to carry out oxidative carbonylation, the conversion rate of EtOH is generally lower than 10%, the product system is relatively complex, and the selectivity of the target product DEC is lower than 70%. Even with halogen-containing catalysts, the DEC single pass yield is still below 30% and the catalyst stability is poor. In the urea alcoholysis process, the ethanol raw material is controlled to be far excessive, the generation of byproducts is inhibited, and the molar content of the byproducts is generally more than 10 times that of urea. Even then, the product system is still relatively complex, the main by-product is the Ethyl Carbamate (EC) produced by the partial alcoholysis of urea, and the sum of the selectivity of DEC and EC is less than 80%. The reaction is limited by a thermodynamic equilibrium, with a conversion of the starting material, calculated as urea, of about 30%, even lower than 3% as EtOH,the industrialization prospect is not optimistic. CO22Direct conversion to DEC as an exothermic reaction (. DELTA.)rHθ298 K = −16.6 kJ/mol <0) And does not spontaneously proceed at room temperature (. DELTA.)rGθ298 K = 35.85 kJ/mol >0). The reaction is limited by thermodynamic equilibrium and can only be increased by increasing the reaction pressure and the concentration of CO2 to increase the conversion of EtOH to yield DEC up to 60% at near or up to the supercritical CO2 conditions. However, the byproduct H2O is difficult to remove from the reaction system effectively, and the reaction is limited to proceed in the forward direction. At present, DEC is industrially synthesized by a transesterification method, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethanol (EtOH) are prepared by a reaction-rectification process intensification technology, and a byproduct, Ethyl Methyl Carbonate (EMC), is produced.
The DMC with high quality produced in more than 80 percent of China is synthesized by Propylene Carbonate (PC)/Ethylene Carbonate (EC) and methanol (MeOH) through an ester exchange process, in the process, the DMC and the MeOH are separated out of a reaction system in the form of azeotrope with the content of about 30 to 70 percent, and then are separated in an extraction-rectification or high-low pressure rectification mode. The azeotrope separation energy consumption is high, accounting for about 50% of the total energy consumption of DMC synthesis. The research proposes that starting from the initial raw material PC/EC for synthesizing DMC, the initial raw material PC/EC and EtOH directly carry out transesterification reaction, the products are only 1, 2-propylene glycol/ethylene glycol and DEC, and the whole system has no azeotrope. Therefore, the synthesis of DEC by taking PC/EC as a reaction raw material not only obviously simplifies/shortens the process flow, but also does not relate to azeotrope separation, and obviously reduces the production energy consumption.
To our knowledge, EC directly with EtOH has very few reports on the synthesis of DEC by transesterification. With reference to the EC and MeOH transesterification processes, the catalysts reported are broadly classified into two broad categories, homogeneous and heterogeneous. The heterogeneous catalyst is easy to separate from the reaction system, but has low catalytic efficiency, high activation energy and needs high temperature or long-time reaction. The reported homogeneous catalysts mainly include: CH (CH)3ONa、CH3OK and C2H5Strong alkali containing alkali such as ONa, KOH, NaOH, K2CO3、Na2Inorganic strong base such as CO3, and ionic liquid catalyst. Soluble organic strong bases have excellent reactivity, but they are sensitive to water and are extremely deactivated. Has already been worked beforeStrictly proves the inactivation process and evolution mechanism of the strain, and the inactivation product is Na2CO3. The deactivated alkaline mixed product is difficult to separate in the industrial production process and pollutes the environment. The low solubility of the inorganic strong base in the carbonate starting material results in low dispersion in the homogeneous reaction system and relatively low catalytic efficiency. The ionic liquid generally has poor thermal stability, is easy to decompose at high temperature, has high preparation cost and is easy to cause environmental pollution in the preparation process.

Synthesis of ethylene glycol potassium catalyst: 2 mol of Ethylene Glycol (EG) solution was added to a 500 mL beaker, 1 mol of potassium hydroxide (KOH) was added to the ethylene glycol solution, it was stirred using a glass rod until it was completely dissolved, and it was rotary evaporated using a rotary evaporator at 100, 120, 130, 135 and 140 ℃ for 3 h after being transferred to a 500 mL eggplant-type bottle. The process is to separate the byproduct water generated by the reaction of potassium hydroxide and ethylene glycol from a reaction system to obtain the catalyst of ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol potassium salt (EGK) with the approximate molar ratio of 1:1, and as shown in figure 1, additionally adding anhydrous ethanol solution with the mass of 4 times of that of the catalyst, uniformly mixing and storing at room temperature.

Example 2
The physicochemical properties of the synthesized potassium Ethylene Glycol (EGK) catalyst are measured, the density is about 1.3 g/mL, and the freezing point is about-20 ℃. The alkali strength range of the sodium hydroxide is 15.0< H- <18.4 measured by a Hammett indicator method, the sodium hydroxide is equivalent to the alkali strength of potassium hydroxide, and the alkali amount is 6.18 mmol/g measured by a benzoic acid titration method.
Example 3
The effects of EGK synthesis temperatures of 100, 120, 130, 135 and 140 ℃ on catalyst base content, water content and catalytic activity were investigated and the results are shown in table 1. The alkali content of the synthesized EGK salt at different temperatures measured by adopting a benzoic acid titration method is respectively 5.68, 6.02, 6.16, 6.18 and 6.31 mmol/g, which shows that the alkali content of the prepared EGK catalyst is gradually increased along with the increase of the synthesis temperature. The water content of the EGK catalyst is respectively 3.37 percent, 1.44 percent, 1.22 percent, 0.64 percent and 0.69 percent measured by a Karl Fischer trace water analyzer, which indicates that a large amount of water remains in the reaction system at 100 ℃, and the strong hydrogen bond action of water and EG can not separate the generated water out of the reaction system at the temperature; the water content in the system is gradually and obviously reduced by gradually increasing the synthesis temperature, but the water content in the system is basically kept unchanged after the synthesis temperature exceeds 135 ℃, so the synthesis temperature of the subsequent EGK catalyst is preferably 135 ℃. At the synthesis temperature of 100 ℃, the EGK catalyst content is only 1% of EC mass, and the EC conversion rate, DEC molar selectivity and DEC yield are respectively 38.78%, 88.57% and 34.35% at the reaction time of 5 min, when the TOF of the catalyst is as high as 511.54 mol DEC mol lcat-1· h-1The method shows that even if the prepared EGK catalyst contains a large amount of water, the catalyst still shows higher catalytic efficiency, but the water has an influence on the selectivity of a target product and mainly influences the further transesterification efficiency of an intermediate product. As the synthesis temperature increases, the EC conversion rate, the DEC molar selectivity, the DEC yield and the TOF are obviously improved, and the catalyst indexes of the 135 ℃ synthesis reach the highest, namely 76.58%, 99.65%, 76.32% and 1045.13 molDEC molcat-1· h-1. Is continuously liftedThe DEC selectivity, yield and TOF were rather slightly reduced by the synthesis temperature up to 140 ℃, which probably was that the EGK produced promoted the continued dehydration of EG to dimeric or trimeric EGK catalyst, as we detected the production of very small amounts of diethylene glycol as well as triethylene glycol in the high temperature synthesized EGK catalyst. The dipolypotassium salt or tripolypotassium salt has poor dispersion effect in a carbonate reaction system, so that the catalytic efficiency is reduced. In summary, moderate synthesis temperatures allow EGK homogeneous catalysts with higher base content, lower water residue, and no dimerized or highly polymerized ethylene glycol.

Reaction conditions are as follows: the EC/EtOH molar ratio is 1/10, the addition amount of the homogeneous catalyst is about 1 percent of the EC mass, the reaction temperature is 82 ℃, and the reaction time is 5 min
Example 4
The thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis of the EGK catalyst under the nitrogen atmosphere is shown in figure 4, and has a three-stage weight loss process, wherein the first stage is that 3.6 percent weight loss is generated in the range from room temperature to 132 ℃ and continuous trace heat absorption is accompanied, and the weight loss is the residual solvent (EtOH) and a small amount of adsorbed water in the catalyst preparation process; significant weight loss of 88.81% was observed in the second stage 132-273 deg.C range. The weight loss slope is approximately kept unchanged and the more close to a high-temperature area, the more obvious the heat absorption is, the process is mainly the gasification of Ethylene Glycol (EG) and the slow decomposition of ethylene glycol potassium, and the higher the temperature is, the faster the decomposition rate of the ethylene glycol potassium is; the third stage 273- & gt 474 ℃ has 5.24% weight loss, the temperature is continuously increased to 500 ℃, the remaining 2.35% of the mass is kept unchanged, and the process is supposed to be the pyrolysis/cracking of the EGK decomposition product.

Example 5
The functional group characterization of the EGK catalyst is shown in FIG. 5, 3356 cm-1The absorption peak at the wave number is classified as an ethylene glycol O-H stretching vibration peak; 2939 and 2873 cm-1The absorption peak at the wave number is attributed to the CH2 stretching vibration peak; 1654 cm-1The absorption peak at the wave number is the stretching vibration of O-H; 1450. 1380 and 1296 cm-1Absorption peaks at wave numbers are respectively assigned to CH2 bending vibration peak and C-OH in-plane bending vibration; 1089. 1056 and 885 cm-1The absorption peaks at wavenumbers are respectively attributed to C-OH stretching vibration and CH2 in-plane rocking vibration.
Fig. 5 is an FTIR spectrum of the synthesized EGK catalyst.
Example 6
The results of the effect of different reaction temperatures on the synthesis of DEC by transesterification with EGK as catalyst are shown in FIG. 6. At an extremely low temperature of 0 ℃, the reaction is carried out for only 5 min, the conversion rate of EC reaches 33.67 percent, the selectivity of DEC exceeds 99 percent, the yield of DEC reaches 33.34 percent, and the TOF value is 456.66 molDEC molcat-1· h-1The EGK catalyst still shows higher capability of promoting EC ring opening and ester exchange of linear carbonate and EtOH at low temperature of 0 ℃; when the reaction temperature was increased to 25 ℃, the conversion of EC increased to 51.62%, the DEC selectivity and yield were 99.50% and 51.36%, respectively, and the TOF value increased to 703.43 molDEC molcat-1· h-1(ii) a The reaction temperature was further raised to 50, 70 and 82 ℃, EC conversion and DEC yield continued to increase, DEC selectivity was maintained above 99% at all times, and TOF values increased to 790.44, 986.33 and 1045.13 molDEC molcat, respectively-1· h-1It is very interesting that the slope of the DEC yield with temperature is approximately uniform, with an inherent relationship worth deep consideration. The results fully show that the synthesized EGK catalyst has excellent capacity of catalyzing EC ring opening and EtOH ester exchange, and the catalytic efficiency is obviously improved along with the increase of the reaction temperature.
FIG. 6 Effect of reaction temperature on EC and EtOH transesterification reactions.
Example 7
EGK is used as a catalyst, reaction products are collected and analyzed within the time range of 1-300 min at fixed sampling intervals under the conditions of room temperature and azeotropic reaction temperature, and the influence of different reaction times on the synthesis of DEC by ester exchange is shown in figure 7. Because of the extremely high EGK catalytic transesterification efficiency, the DEC selectivity reaches over 99 percent under all temperature conditions, and basically has no intermediate productThe product is produced, so the DEC yield is basically consistent with the EC conversion rate. At 25 ℃, the yield of DEC is gradually increased along with the gradual extension of 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 to 300 min of reaction time, and the reaction equilibrium is reached at 180 min; at 82 ℃, the reaction equilibrium is reached within 30 min, at this time, the EC conversion rate is close to 92%, the DEC selectivity reaches more than 99%, and the DEC yield is about 92%. TOF calculated by two temperatures is the maximum value of initial reaction and reaches 703.43 and 1045.13 molDEC molcat-1· h-1Then, the TOF value is gradually reduced under the equilibrium limit of the concentration of the product glycol in the reaction system; TOF values at reaction equilibrium were 34.99 and 209.56 molDEC molcat, respectively-1· h-1. As the reaction time was extended, the DEC yield was gradually increased until reaction equilibrium was reached. For the synthesized EGK catalyst, the influence of the temperature on the EGK catalytic efficiency is not obvious in the early reaction stage, but the inhibiting effect of the glycol concentration on the EGK catalyst is more obvious at low temperature and the inhibiting effect is weakened at high temperature along with the generation of products.
FIG. 7 effect of reaction time on EC and EtOH transesterification reactions at different temperatures.
Example 8
The results of the molar ratio of the different starting materials on the activity of the transesterification synthesis of DEC with EGK as catalyst and maintaining its mass at 1% of the EC mass are shown in fig. 8. The DEC selectivity reaches over 99 percent under different raw material moles, and no intermediate product is generated basically. The yield of DEC was 50.71% at an EC/EtOH molar ratio of 1/3, and TOF was 694.41 molDEC molcat-1· h-1(ii) a Increasing the EC/EtOH molar ratio to 1/6 increased the yield of DEC to 64.35% and TOF to 881.28 molDEC molcat-1· h-1(ii) a The yield of DEC continued to increase as the EC/EtOH molar ratio continued to increase at 1/9, 1/10, and 1/12, with yield of DEC reaching 83.17% at a molar ratio of 1/12 and a TOF of 1139.13 molDEC molcat-1· h-1. Because EC and EtOH are subjected to transesterification in a reversible way, the reaction is promoted to be carried out in a positive direction by increasing the proportion of the reaction raw material EtOH, the EC conversion is promoted, the yield of DEC is further improved, and the conversion times of the EGK active center in unit time are gradually improved along with the increase of the proportion of EC/EtOH. Even though the EC/EtOH molar ratio is 1/3, the product still has the advantages of better performanceThe high DEC yield indicates that EGK has good transesterification effect and directional catalytic capability.
FIG. 8 effect of feed mole ratio on EC and EtOH transesterification.
Example 9
FIG. 9 Effect of EGK catalyst content on EC and EtOH transesterification.
FIG. 9 examines the effect of EGK catalyst content on the reaction activity at 5 min of reaction. When the catalyst content was 0.2% by mass EC, the DEC yield was only 10.39%, exhibiting poor catalytic activity, TOF of 711.12 molDEC molcat-1· h-1But at this time, the DEC selectivity is still higher than 90%; the DEC yield increased gradually with increasing catalyst content, increasing to 91.98% with increasing catalyst content to 2% and 629.84 molDEC molcat for TOF-1· h-1(ii) a The DEC yield was no longer significantly increased by continuing to increase the amount of catalyst to 3%. This is because the catalyst content is increased, the number of active centers is increased, the contact efficiency of the active centers with the reactants is improved, and the reaction is promoted to proceed in the positive direction. However, when the reaction approaches the equilibrium conversion rate, more catalyst content has little influence on the reaction, and the catalyst simultaneously increases the forward and reverse reaction rates, and the difference can be compared only by reducing the reaction time or lowering the reaction temperature and other weakening experimental conditions.
Example 10
Fig. 10 shows the results of synthetic EGK catalysts used in EC and various alcohol transesterification reactions, with selected alcohols including linear methanol, ethanol, n-propanol and n-butanol, and isopropanol, isobutanol and t-butanol with branched structures. The molar ratio of EC to the alcohol with different structures is 1/10, the EGK content is 1 percent of the mass of EC, and the reaction lasts for 30 min. The EC conversion, selectivity and yield of dimethyl carbonate when the methanol is subjected to ester exchange at 68 ℃ are respectively 86.96 percent, 99.57 percent and 86.59 percent; when the catalyst reacts with ethanol at 82 ℃, the effects are respectively 91.92%, 99.88% and 91.80%; results were 74.99%, 99.85% and 74.88% respectively at 82 ℃ with n-propanol; the results of the reaction with n-butanol at 82 ℃ were 72.51%, 99.41% and 72.14%, respectively. The results show that EGK catalyzes EC to exchange with C1-C4 normal-alcohol ester to have good reaction effect, the selectivity of the generated carbonate exceeds 99 percent, but the EC conversion rate and the yield of the target carbonic acid are gradually reduced along with the increase of carbon chains. Meanwhile, the influence of C3 and C4 isomeric alcohol is considered in FIG. 10, the yield of diisopropyl carbonate is only 4.29%, and the yield is reduced by 70.59% compared with that of dipropyl carbonate under the same reaction conditions; the yield of diisobutyl carbonate and di-tert-butyl carbonate is 27.01 percent and 1.85 percent respectively, which is reduced by 45.13 percent and 70.29 percent compared with the yield of dibutyl carbonate. The above experimental results show that the catalytic activity of the alcohol is remarkably reduced with the increase of the number of branched chains of the alcohol with the same number of carbon atoms. In combination with the knowledge of the carbonate exchange reaction mechanism, we believe that the primary reason is that the isomeric alcohol is difficult to activate by ethylene glycol oxyanions, and the activated isomeric alcohol oxyanions are more hydrophilic than ethoxy anions, resulting in less activated isomeric alcohol oxyanions in the reaction system; the second reason is that isomeric alcohol oxyanion steric hindrance effect causes that nucleophilic attack on EC is relatively difficult and promotes reduction of EC ring-opening capability. In conclusion, EGK shows high catalytic activity for the normal alcohol ester exchange reaction of C1-C4 and universality for the alcohol ester exchange reaction of EC and different structures.
FIG. 10 EGK catalyzes the effect of EC and C1-C4 alcohol transesterification.
Example 11
EGK with the EC mass content of 3% is used as a catalyst, the EGK is sampled and analyzed after reacting for 5 min at 82 ℃, then EtOH with the EC molar weight being 20 times of that of the EC is additionally added for reacting for 20 min, then reduced pressure distillation is carried out, after products EG and DEC and unreacted raw material EC are separated out, the residual catalyst in a distillation flask is repeated for the next cycle, the catalytic stability of the EGK is inspected, and the relationship between the EC conversion rate, the DEC selectivity and the yield and the repeated use frequency of the EGK is shown in figure 11. The EC conversion, DEC selectivity and yield were 91.87%, 99.95% and 91.83% respectively when EGK was first used. In the second cycle experiment, the EC conversion, DEC selectivity and yield were slightly decreased, 86.71%, 99.03% and 85.86%, respectively, with a 5.16% decrease in EC conversion and a 5.97% decrease in DEC yield compared to the first. The fifth cycle used, EC conversion, DEC selectivity and yield were 82.96%, 98.43% and 81.66%, respectively. One of the reasons for the slight decrease in catalytic activity of EGK during the recycle process may be the loss of catalyst during the recycle process due to multiple sampling. In conclusion, the EGK is repeatedly used for five times, each time, the reaction is only carried out for 5 min, the excellent reaction activity is still realized, the yield and the selectivity of the DEC are always kept to be more than 80 percent and 98 percent, no obvious inactivation phenomenon occurs, and the EGK is proved to have better stability and reusability in the ester exchange reaction of EC and EtOH.
