Background
Tetrahydrofuran is an important organic synthetic raw material and is a solvent with excellent performance, and is particularly suitable for dissolving PVC, polyvinylidene chloride and butylaniline.
The existing process for producing tetrahydrofuran comprises the following steps: a22% aqueous solution of sulfuric acid was fed to the reactor, 1, 4-butanediol was fed at 100 ℃ at a rate of about 110kg/h, the overhead temperature was maintained at about 80 ℃ and an aqueous solution containing 80% tetrahydrofuran was obtained from the overhead at a rate of about 110 kg/h. After 50t of 1, 4-butanediol had been added, about 70kg of coke were removed from the reactor. The coke is filtered, the obtained sulfuric acid aqueous solution can be reused, and the yield of the tetrahydrofuran in the process can reach more than 99 percent. Sulfuric acid is the earliest catalyst used in the industrial production of tetrahydrofuran and is also the catalyst used more frequently in the production nowadays. Although the technology is mature, on one hand, the adopted catalyst sulfuric acid is extremely easy to corrode equipment and pollute the environment; on the other hand, the reactor has a cleaning process, production is necessarily interrupted when feeding materials each time, the efficiency is low, the whole process is complex, the operation requirement is high, and the loss of 1, 4-butanediol is serious. Meanwhile, under strong acid and high temperature, 1, 4-butanediol is incompletely cyclized to generate 2, 3-dihydrofuran impurities, and the boiling points of the 2, 3-dihydrofuran impurities and tetrahydrofuran are close, so that the impurities are extremely difficult to separate in a subsequent purification process, and the purity of the tetrahydrofuran is reduced.
