Description

Method for recycling by-product of BDO (methanol to ethane) prepared by allyl alcohol method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a method for recycling a BDO byproduct by an allyl alcohol method.
Background
Trimethylolethane, also known as 2, 2-dimethylolpropanol and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-1, 3-propanediol, TME for short, is an odorless, white crystalline solid with a melting point of 199-. The trimethylolethane has three primary hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure, can react with different polybasic acids to obtain polyester resins with different structures, and the polyester resins can be crosslinked with functional materials such as isocyanate, amino resin and the like or modified with epoxy resin, organic silicon resin and the like, so that a series of resin products with good high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and gloss retention are obtained. In addition, trimethylolethane is also used for synthesizing alkyd resin, the corresponding alkyd resin can be used in special paint products, and the paint has high baking resistance, stain resistance and excellent color durability and is widely welcomed by people.
The production of trimethylolethane basically uses propionaldehyde and formaldehyde as starting materials, and the process route can be divided into a Cannizzaro process and a hydrogenation process according to different reduction methods. The Cannizzaro process route adopts excessive formaldehyde as a reaction raw material, and propionaldehyde and 2 molecules of formaldehyde are subjected to condensation reaction to obtain a dimethylolpropionaldehyde intermediate; then under the action of catalyst, the dimethylolpropionaldehyde and formaldehyde produce disproportionation reaction to obtain trimethylolethane and formic acid.
Figure BDA0003460888700000021
The hydrogenation process adopts slightly excessive formaldehyde, firstly, the propionaldehyde and 2 molecules of formaldehyde are subjected to condensation reaction to obtain dimethylolpropionaldehyde, and then the dimethylolpropionaldehyde is separated and hydrogenated to obtain the trimethylolethane product (CN106278817, CN105669371 and CN 105669370). Because the byproduct formic acid of the Cannizzaro process has poor product purity, the prior trimethylolethane device at home and abroad mainly adopts a hydrogenation process.
Figure BDA0003460888700000022
In the allyl alcohol method BDO process, a certain amount of branched hydroformylation product 2-hydroxymethyl propionaldehyde is inevitably obtained in the allyl alcohol hydroformylation reaction, the direct application value of the byproduct is very low, 2-methyl propylene glycol can be obtained by hydrogenation, but the market consumption of the 2-methyl propylene glycol is relatively low, so the byproduct can only be incinerated in the form of waste liquid at present. Therefore, in the process of preparing BDO by using the allyl alcohol method, the development and the reuse of the byproduct 2-hydroxymethyl propionaldehyde become a difficult problem, and the economical efficiency of the project is restricted.
Figure BDA0003460888700000023
In conclusion, at present, a new method and a new scheme for utilizing the 2-hydroxymethyl propionaldehyde as the byproduct are urgently needed to be developed, the 2-hydroxymethyl propionaldehyde as the byproduct of the BDO prepared by the allyl alcohol method is reasonably utilized, waste is changed into valuable, and the overall economy of the project is improved. When developing the related utilization process, the method preferably has the advantages of concise process flow, mild reaction conditions, small device investment and the like so as to facilitate the amplification and implementation of the related scheme.
