Preparation method of polyester-grade coal-based ethylene glycol
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of coal-based ethylene glycol, and particularly relates to a preparation method of polyester-grade ethylene glycol by using inferior high-purity coal-based ethylene glycol as a raw material.
Background
Ethylene glycol is an organic chemical raw material with wide application, and is mainly used for producing polyester fibers, antifreeze, nonionic surfactants and other products. China is one of the countries with the largest import quantity of ethylene glycol and has higher degree of dependence on the outside. At present, two technical routes of glycol industry exist, one is that crude oil and natural gas are used as raw materials to prepare glycol by an ethylene method, the energy consumption of the production process of the method is high, and the cost is greatly influenced by the price of the raw materials. The other method for preparing the ethylene glycol by using the oxalate method with coal as the raw material can effectively save petroleum resources, accords with the energy status quo of 'more coal and less oil and gas' in China, and is developed rapidly in recent years. However, a certain amount of impurities are easily introduced in the process of preparing the ethylene glycol by the coal-based method, wherein a small amount of impurities can cause the ultraviolet transmittance of the ethylene glycol product to be seriously reduced, and the requirement of the polyester-grade product is difficult to achieve. GB/T4694-2018 states that the light transmittance of polyester-grade ethylene glycol is not less than 75%, 92% and 99% at wavelengths of 220nm, 275nm and 350 nm. The ethylene glycol product with unqualified ultraviolet transmittance is used for producing polymers, and the properties of the polymers, such as chromaticity, glossiness, strength, coloring performance and the like, are seriously influenced. Impurities affecting ultraviolet transmittance are generally considered to be aldehyde, ketone and ester impurities containing carbonyl structures. In addition, research shows that certain olefine acids and olefine acid ester substances have obvious influence on the ultraviolet transmittance at 220nm, and the olefine acid and olefine acid ester substances are often low in content in coal-based glycol and difficult to remove. Therefore, the method for preparing the polyester-grade coal-based ethylene glycol product by removing impurities in the coal-based ethylene glycol has important significance and wide economic prospect for improving the competitiveness of the coal-based ethylene glycol and reducing the import of the polyester-grade ethylene glycol in China.
Based on the background, a series of research works around coal-based ethylene glycol impurity removal and preparation of polyester-grade ethylene glycol are carried out by a plurality of researchers. For example, CN 105085175A discloses a method for adsorbing impurities in coal-based ethylene glycol by using acid leaching pretreated modified activated carbon, which is designed for a coal-based ethylene glycol process route, and can effectively adsorb impurities in coal-based ethylene glycol, so that the UV value at 220nm is increased from 50% to 84%, and finally the product reaches the polyester grade. CN 102911013A discloses a bifunctional solid acid catalyst and a solid base catalyst, which can simultaneously remove aldehyde impurities in a petroleum route and impurities such as esters, cyclic diketones and conjugated aldehydes in a coal chemical route through the reduction and catalysis of the catalysts, so that the UV values of coal-based glycol and petroleum-based glycol at 220nm are respectively increased from 50.6% and 70% to 83% and 89%. CN107973699A discloses a method for refining ethylene glycol, in which the adsorption property of coconut shell carbon and the hydrogenation reduction capability of a composite hydrogenation catalyst are used to increase the ultraviolet transmittance of ethylene glycol, and the transmittance at 220nm is increased from 3.2% to 76%. US6242655B1 describes a process for removing aldehyde impurities from high purity ethylene glycol using a cation exchange resin. According to the method, petroleum glycol is selected as a raw material, and through removing aldehyde, UV values at 220nm and 275nm are respectively increased from 93% and 96% to 96% and 97%. The research removes impurities in the ethylene glycol through different methods, obviously improves the light transmittance of the ethylene glycol, finally meets the requirements of polyester-grade products, and provides a good basis for the deep development of related work.
However, the researches all use ethylene glycol with relatively high light transmittance, relatively few impurity types and relatively low content as a raw material, and for ethylene glycol with very high raw material purity (more than or equal to 99.0%), many impurity types and extremely low light transmittance of various wave bands as a raw material, the researches for preparing polyester-grade ethylene glycol are few, and related researches need to be further deepened.

Example 8
The properties of the ethylene glycol products obtained in the examples and comparative examples were analyzed and evaluated according to the methods and criteria listed in table 1, and the specific results are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 Properties of ethylene glycol products obtained in examples and comparative examples
From the above results, it can be seen that the samples UV of examples 1 to 7 220nm All greater than 75%, UV 270nm All greater than 92%, UV 350nm All over 99 percent, the aldehyde content is less than 8mg/kg, and the platinum-cobalt color is less than 5, which indicates thatHigh-purity inferior coal-based ethylene glycol is used as a raw material, and a high-quality ethylene glycol product with the performance meeting the polyester-grade ethylene glycol standard can be obtained by adopting the methods of the embodiments 1 to 7. The light transmittance of the samples of comparative examples 1-3 at 220nm, 275nm and 350nm is relatively low, especially the light transmittance at 220nm does not reach 40%, which shows that the method of examples 1-3 is difficult to deeply remove aldehydes and complex impurities, and the ethylene glycol contains many unsaturated components and cannot reach the polyester-grade ethylene glycol standard. Comparative examples 4 and 5 were prepared in the same manner as in examples 1 to 7, but the preparation steps were changed, and the results of the evaluation showed that the transmittance of the samples of comparative examples 4 and 5 at 220nm, 275nm and 350nm was only slightly higher than that of the samples of comparative examples 1 to 3 at the above wavelengths, and that there was a large difference from the standard requirements for polyester-grade ethylene glycol. Comparative example 6 in the same manner as in examples 1 to 7, but the adsorbent used in the adsorption treatment was ordinary activated carbon which was not modified with polysilane, the evaluation results showed that comparative example 6 had a relatively highest transmittance at each wavelength, but still failed to meet the polyester-grade ethylene glycol standard, as compared with comparative examples 1 to 5.
