Method for preparing RT base by normal pressure condensation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of rubber additives, and particularly relates to a process method for preparing a rubber antioxidant intermediate RT base by normal pressure condensation.
Background
RT base (p-aminodiphenylamine) is widely applied to rubber auxiliaries, dyes, textile, printing, pharmaceutical industry and the like, and is mainly used for rubber anti-aging agents 4010NA, 6PPD and the like.
The annual total energy of domestic RT base is about 18 million tons, the existing ten-thousand-ton grade RT base device of China petrochemical south chemical company is produced by adopting a nitrobenzene method, tetramethylammonium hydroxide is used as a catalyst in the condensation reaction in the existing nitrobenzene method, the catalyst is easy to absorb carbon dioxide in air to form carbonate, and the catalytic effect of the carbonate is lost, so that in the actual industrial production, the condensation reaction adopts a vacuumizing protection mode, and the inactivation caused by the contact of the tetramethylammonium hydroxide and the air is avoided.
Generally, the vacuum system is realized by a vacuum pump, which is a moving device and has a short maintenance time period due to mechanical wear and the like. In order to maintain the expected vacuum degree, the vacuum pump needs to regularly replace a fresh medium, the common medium is vacuum pump oil, and the replaced waste oil is treated in a three-waste mode through burning, so that the environment is polluted to a certain extent, and the industrial cost is increased.
Therefore, a process method for preparing RT base by condensation under normal pressure needs to be developed, so that the use of a vacuum pump is avoided from the source, and the process flow is further optimized.
In the process for preparing RT base by nitrobenzene condensation, the determinant factor of the vacuum system is the use of the catalyst tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The tetramethylammonium hydroxide exists in the reaction system in the form of aqueous solution, firstly, the vacuumizing is to protect the tetramethylammonium hydroxide from being poisoned by carbon dioxide, secondly, water in the reaction system can be removed in a reduced pressure distillation mode at a lower temperature, so that the reaction balance is carried out rightwards, the conversion rate of nitrobenzene is improved, thirdly, the tetramethylammonium hydroxide is easy to decompose under heating, a device capable of realizing dehydration at a lower temperature is needed, and the vacuum pump can meet the three requirements. If the catalyst is replaced, the catalyst has the capabilities of resisting poison and high temperature and exists in a non-aqueous solution or solid state, the vacuum pump is no longer used.
The solid base catalyst has the advantages of no corrosion, high selectivity, high catalytic activity, easy separation of products and the like, and is widely applied to organic reactions of various alkaline systems.
At present, the main design concept of the solid base catalyst applied to the condensation preparation of RT base is that tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide is used as an active site, potassium hydroxide is used as regenerated base, resin is used as a carrier, the service life of the catalyst is prolonged through the regeneration effect of potassium hydroxide, but the solid base catalyst is not suitable for catalyzing condensation reaction under normal pressure (CN 102259029A).
The other idea is that potassium hydroxide is used as an alkaline catalyst, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase transfer catalyst, and the potassium hydroxide and the tetrabutylammonium bromide catalyze the condensation reaction under the synergistic action. Compared with tetramethylammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium bromide have strong anti-toxicity and high-temperature resistance, and the method does not need to remove a large amount of water, so that the method has the possibility of atmospheric pressure catalysis, but the patent CN102372640A does not relate to relevant information.
