Description

Method for synthesizing caprolactam through Beckmann rearrangement reaction
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a catalyst for preparing caprolactam through Beckmann rearrangement and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Caprolactam is an important organic chemical raw material, and is mainly used as a monomer of a high polymer due to a special structure, and polyamide 6(PA6) chips are produced through polymerization. The caprolactam material can be used for producing nylon plastics, cotton fiber, artificial leather and other related products, has very obvious application effect in various medical fields, and can be used for producing antiplatelet and other related medicaments. The PA6 slices with different brands have different performances and different application fields, and the processed and molded PA6 is widely applied to the fields of textiles, packaging, automobiles, electronics, machinery and the like.
The raw material route for caprolactam is mainly benzene, phenol and toluene. The toluene path in the three raw materials has the highest capacity, and is the world's leading caprolactam production method. The technology of DSM company in the Netherlands is taken as a representative, cyclohexanone oxime is synthesized by preparing cyclohexanone, and caprolactam is obtained by Beckmann rearrangement. In recent years, the caprolactam production technology in China is greatly improved, and the domestic productivity is greatly expanded.
The Beckmann rearrangement (Beckmann rearrangement) is an acid-catalyzed rearrangement in which the oxime reactant is rearranged to an amide under the catalysis of an acid. Various beckmann rearrangement catalysts are available, including inorganic acids, organic acids, acidic molecular sieves, ionic liquids, and the like. These catalyst schemes have been studied in detail.
In the industrial production of caprolactam, sulfuric acid or oleum is often used as a catalyst, and caprolactam is produced by the beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone oxime in the presence of sulfuric acid or oleum. The process generally adopts a mode of material external circulation heat transfer, namely, fuming sulfuric acid is added into a system from a circulating pump inlet in a rearrangement reactor and mixed with rearrangement liquid, heat is transferred out of a reaction system through a circulating pipeline heat exchanger, and the circulation liquid with the reduced temperature enters a mixer and is rapidly mixed with added cyclohexanone oxime to react to form heavy liquid. The process is mature and simple, so that the caprolactam is basically produced by the method in industry.
The rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone oxime in the presence of oleum is a strong exothermic reaction, the reaction speed is high, the reaction is violent, and a large amount of impurities are generated due to poor system configuration, so that the product quality of caprolactam is seriously influenced. More seriously, the process also produces a large amount of ammonium sulfate, and 1.4 to 1.8 tons of ammonium sulfate are produced per 1 ton of caprolactam. Ammonium sulfate is a chemical fertilizer, which is sold at a price lower than the cost price, and a large amount of ammonium sulfate by-products cause an increase in the cost. Therefore, the process needs to be improved, the consumption of sulfuric acid and ammonia gas is reduced, and the yield of the by-product ammonium sulfate is reduced, so that the production cost is reduced.
In patent US4257950, cyclohexanone oxime is subjected to beckmann rearrangement using nicotinic acid as a catalyst to produce caprolactam by dissolving in a solvent which is inert to nicotinic acid and insoluble in water and nicotinic acid, but ammonium sulfate by-produced is not reduced.
Patent CN1508128A also discloses a method for preparing caprolactam from cyclohexanone oxime and nicotinic acid or anhydrous sulfuric acid in the presence of a solvent inert to nicotinic acid or sulfuric acid, which reduces the by-product ammonium sulfate, but the used solvent is not separated effectively, resulting in acid residue in the solvent, difficult reuse and waste.
