Description

Method for preparing monochloro-ortho-xylene by continuous chlorination of ortho-xylene
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the field of chemical production processes, in particular to a method for preparing monochloro-ortho-xylene by continuously chlorinating ortho-xylene.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of polyimide industry, the demand for dianhydride monomers is also increasing. The monochlorophthalic anhydride prepared by oxidizing monochloro-o-xylene is an ideal raw material for synthesizing a plurality of dianhydride monomers, and even polyimide can be directly synthesized by dichlorophthalimide and bisphenolate, so that the production cost of the polyimide is greatly reduced. Little research is currently done on monochloroortho-xylene, and only patent CN1080278A discloses an example of batch chlorination in a tank reactor. Similar to the o-xylene chlorination process, benzene chlorination to chlorobenzene and toluene chlorination to monochlorotoluene are two common industrial production schemes:
an intermittent chlorination process of a kettle reactor is quite similar to the orthoxylene disclosed in patent CN1080278A, has the same problems as low production efficiency, low chlorine utilization rate (less than 90 percent and only 82 percent), and large holding quantity of reaction equipment;
a continuous chlorination process using tower reactor features that no catalyst is added, a large number of iron rings are installed in reaction tower, and the water in toluene is used to react in chlorine state to generate FeCl 3 As a catalyst. The scheme realizes continuous production, but has larger potential safety hazard, and is specifically embodied as the following aspects: firstly, chlorine and water react to generate hypochlorous acid in the process of generating hydrochloric acid, and the hypochlorous acid generates atomic oxygen or oxygen with higher activity when heated; on the other hand, hydrochloric acid reacts with the iron ring to generate FeCl 2 Hydrogen is generated at the same time. Thus, chlorine, hydrogen, oxygen and explosive raw materials exist in the reaction system at the same time, and the production is at risk. The cause of the explosion which often occurs in the absorption of tail gases in the production of chlorobenzene and chlorotoluene is the result of this, which makes the chlorination of otherwise safer aromatic hydrocarbons dangerous in this case. Some chlorination safety accidents are also caused by explosion of chlorine, hydrogen and oxygen reactions. In addition, the tower reactor has the advantages of no stirring, poor heat transfer and easy occurrence of the condition of carbonization of materials caused by local overheating, and is called black materials in the industry. Such local overheating also presents a safety risk.
Monochloro-ortho-xylene is a feasible method for industrial production of monochlorophthalic anhydride compared with air oxidation, but literature for preparing chloro-ortho-xylene by using ortho-xylene as a raw material is rarely disclosed. Patent CN1080278A discloses a method in which o-xylene is used as a raw material, lewis acids such as ferric trichloride, aluminum trichloride, antimony trichloride, tin tetrachloride or the like or iodine, iron or the like are used as a catalyst in a stirred reactor, and chlorine is used for direct chlorination to obtain monochloro-o-xylene. The process is exposed to the following deficiencies in industrial practice:
(1) Because the heat exchange area of the jacket of the chlorination reactor is limited, the heat transfer of the reaction is not in time, the temperature of the system is increased, and polychloride is easy to generate.
(2) The chlorine introduced into the bottom of the chlorination kettle is in contact with o-xylene for too short, so that insufficient reaction is caused, a part of chlorine escapes, the loss of raw materials is caused, and the trouble of tail gas aftertreatment and even pollution are brought.
(3) The chlorination reaction is a dangerous process, the kettle type chlorination reaction can only adopt intermittent reaction, and under the condition of the same productivity, compared with a continuous reaction device, the intermittent device has larger instant holding quantity, and the serious damage caused by accidents is larger.
(4) The intermittent reaction process device has more troublesome automatic control, more production operators and does not meet the requirements of modern chemical safety management.
