Process for preparing thiourea dioxide by carbon dioxide solvent method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a process for preparing thiourea dioxide by a carbon dioxide solvent method.
Background
Thiourea dioxide is a substitute product of sodium hydrosulfite, is an inorganic compound, and has the characteristics of strong reducibility, good thermal stability, convenient storage and transportation and the like. The product can be used as a reducing agent, a bleaching decolorizer, a plastic stabilizer, an organic synthetic antioxidant, an effect agent of a photosensitive material and the like; the method is widely applied to the industries of printing and dyeing, papermaking and the like.
At present, thiourea dioxide (hereinafter abbreviated as TD) generally has three types in the synthetic route: (1) a preparation method of taking ozone and thiourea as raw materials; (2) a preparation method which takes calcium cyanamide, ammonium sulfide and hydrogen peroxide as raw materials; (3) the synthesis method takes thiourea and hydrogen peroxide as raw materials and is carried out in the presence of a catalyst. The comparison shows that the third process route has the characteristics of easily obtained raw materials, simple preparation and easy industrial production. The reaction belongs to a strong exothermic reaction, and when the temperature of the system is too high, a side reaction can occur to generate sulfur, so that the product turns yellow, and therefore, the defects of high consumption, large heat exchange device, high construction and maintenance cost and the like are caused due to the fact that an ice machine is required for refrigeration and heat exchange in the reaction process. In addition, although the conventional methods for producing TD mainly include an aqueous solvent method, TD has a certain solubility in water, and thus the yield of TD is low.
The prior patent application CN112979520A of this company discloses a thiourea dioxide production process, which uses cetyl alcohol ester as a heat exchange medium to exchange heat, however, after a period of industrialization, it is gradually found that the crude separation of thiourea dioxide and cetyl alcohol ester is easier, 0.1-0.3% of cetyl alcohol ester in the finished product still remains in thiourea dioxide, and the purity of the finished thiourea dioxide is about 95%.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a process for preparing thiourea dioxide by a carbon dioxide solvent method.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a process for preparing thiourea dioxide by a carbon dioxide solvent method comprises the following steps:
1) adding dry ice or liquid carbon dioxide and a small amount of thiourea aqueous solution into a reaction kettle (the temperature is extremely low, and the temperature is raised by heat exchange through a heat exchanger);
2) under the stirring condition, when the temperature of the system is stabilized at 3-6 ℃, dropwise adding hydrogen peroxide with the mass concentration of 70-80% and the balance of thiourea aqueous solution, and controlling the pressure in the reaction kettle to be maintained at 3.7-4.0MPa in the dropwise adding process;
3) aging for 5-15min after the dropwise addition, and drying to obtain the final product.
In particular, thiourea and H 2 O 2 The optimum reaction molar ratio of (a) to (b) is 1: 2. Excessive thiourea at the early stage of the reaction; h is added when the reaction is finished along with the continuous addition of the hydrogen peroxide 2 O 2 Slight excess (i.e.H 2 O 2 The total addition amount is excessive relative to thiourea), thiourea and H are added in consideration of ineffective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide 2 O 2 May be 1: 2.2-2.5, preferably in a molar ratio of 1: 2.3.
specifically, the mass ratio of thiourea to dry ice is 1: 20-25. The mass of the required dry ice and liquid carbon dioxide can be determined according to the molar reaction heat of thiourea dioxide-536.15 KJ/mol-531.97 KJ/mol and the phase change heat of the dry ice in a reaction temperature range of 225.344 kJ/kg-214.25 kJ/kg. The theoretical mass ratio of thiourea to dry ice is 1: considering that dry ice is easily lost during the addition process, the ratio of the dry ice to the dry ice is 1: 25 by mass ratio.
Further, in the step 1) and the step 2), the mass concentration of the thiourea aqueous solution is 10-15%, and the adding amount of the thiourea aqueous solution in the step 1) is 8-12% of the total weight of the thiourea aqueous solution.
Specifically, in order to avoid excessive byproducts generated by too fast reaction heat release, the hydrogen peroxide and thiourea aqueous solution is dropwise added by a high-pressure pump, and mechanical stirring is started. In the step 2), the stirring speed is 100-.
Further, in the step 2), when the consumption of the raw material thiourea is 100g, the dropping speed of hydrogen peroxide is controlled to be 6-8 ml/min; the drop speed of the thiourea aqueous solution is controlled to be 40-45 ml/min. The invention selects hydrogen peroxide with the mass concentration of 70-80%, water is generated in the reaction process, and carbon dioxide takes away almost all water (carbon dioxide gas is continuously discharged in the reaction and continuously takes away water in the system, almost no water exists in the product at the end, almost no side reaction occurs, the yield is greatly improved, and the stability of the product is further improved).
The invention can control the pressure in the reaction kettle in the reaction process by installing a pressure change valve on the reaction kettle and setting the pressure value to be 3.7MPa to 4.0MPa (3 ℃ to 6 ℃). Quantitative dry ice is added, the phase change of the dry ice is gas and liquid, and the pressure of the system rises and absorbs heat during the phase change. When the pressure exceeds the pressure value of the pressure change valve, releasing carbon dioxide gas in the reaction kettle, and taking out water in the system when the carbon dioxide gas is released; meanwhile, hydrogen peroxide is dripped into the reaction kettle, the hydrogen peroxide thiourea oxide releases heat to raise the temperature, liquid carbon dioxide is vaporized again to absorb heat along with the rise of the temperature, the system pressure reaches a limit value again, the pressure change valve is opened again, and a certain amount of water is taken away when the carbon dioxide gas is released; the dropping of hydrogen peroxide raises the temperature and the pressure reaches the limit value of the pressure change valve again, so that the circulation is realized. Keeping the balance of the addition of carbon dioxide overflow and hydrogen peroxide. The carbon dioxide and water are separated, and the carbon dioxide can be recycled. During industrial production, part of liquid carbon dioxide can be added for bottoming, and then the rest of liquid carbon dioxide is introduced into the reaction kettle at a certain flow rate along with the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and thiourea, (the heat absorption capacity of the carbon dioxide is ensured to be matched with the heat release capacity of the reaction of the hydrogen peroxide and the thiourea and is larger than the heat release capacity of the reaction of the hydrogen peroxide and the thiourea, a pressure-resistant storage tank can be selected, and when the pressure of the liquid carbon dioxide is 3Mpa, the temperature is-5 ℃, and a pressure-resistant conveying pipe is adopted for conveying).
In the invention, the reaction temperature is preferably 3-6 ℃, the optimal pH value of the system is 3-6, and by-products are generated when the temperature and the pH value are too low or too high, thus influencing the purity of the product. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide exists in the system, and carbon dioxide dissolved in water generates carbonic acid, so that a corresponding weak acid environment can be provided just, and other pH buffers are not required to be additionally added.
The invention uses liquid carbon dioxide as solvent, which has five functions in the system: the first is inert solvent, the second is heat exchange medium, the third is water produced in the reaction of taking out the system, so that the yield is improved, the fourth is pH regulator, and the fifth is the gasification of carbon dioxide, which brings certain mixing effect to the reaction system.
Conventionally, the hexadecanol ester is used as a heat exchange medium to prepare the thiourea dioxide, and a small amount of the hexadecanol ester in a finished product is remained in the thiourea dioxide. Through further experiments and exploration by the technicians of the department, the carbon dioxide is found to be free from the problem, and the discovery is surprising: carbon dioxide as inert gas does not participate in the reaction, more importantly, the gas-liquid conversion is easy, the heat exchange efficiency is extremely high, and the conventional reaction time of 8 hours can be directly reduced to30 minutes (cetyl alcohol ester as heat exchange medium, reaction can only be shortened to 3 hours). The reason is that: firstly, carbon dioxide is as the heat transfer medium between the gas-liquid, and the gas flow rate is very fast, and the separation of carbon dioxide gas and water is also very easy, and carbon dioxide's gas compressor is also very ripe, compares in the equipment to liquid refrigeration, and efficiency is higher. And secondly, carbon dioxide can generate carbonic acid after being dissolved in water, so that a weak acidic environment is exactly provided for the reaction, and impurities and side effects brought by the pH regulator are reduced and replaced. CO with pH regulator after reaction 2 Can not remain in the product, and improves the stability of the product. Meanwhile, liquid carbon dioxide is used as a solvent, so that the use of water is reduced, and the product yield is further improved.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1) the characteristic of carbon dioxide phase change heat absorption is adopted to remove a large amount of heat released in the TD synthesis reaction, so that uniform and rapid heat exchange is achieved, the system temperature is controlled, refrigeration equipment such as a coil or a jacket is not needed, and the production cost is reduced;
2) liquid carbon dioxide is used as a solvent, and deionized water is not required to be added as the solvent; 70-80% of hydrogen peroxide is used, so that the water content in the system is less, the thiourea dioxide loss is less, and the yield is higher; the carbon dioxide is inert gas, does not participate in the reaction and can be recycled; carbon dioxide is used as a heat exchange medium, so that the post-treatment is simple;
3) when carbon dioxide gas is released, water generated by the reaction of the system can be taken out, the loss of the conventional drying step is reduced, and the product yield is further improved. Carbon dioxide is dissolved in water to generate carbonic acid, an acidic environment is provided, and a pH regulator such as ammonium carbonate and the like does not need to be additionally added;
4) the reaction time is shortened: the reaction time is directly shortened to about 30-40min from the prior 8 hours.
