Description

Process for preparing 1, 3-propanediol
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing 1, 3-propylene glycol.
Background
1, 3-propanediol (1, 3-PDO) is a main raw material for producing polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and is also a raw material for synthesizing a plasticizer, a detergent, a preservative and an emulsifier. In particular, the PTT fiber with excellent performance has the performance of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), has good rebound resilience and pollution resistance of nylon, and is widely applied to the fields of carpets, engineering plastics, clothing fabrics and the like. The industrial production of 1, 3-propanediol worldwide has been low and expensive for a long time, which has hindered the development of the polytrimethylene terephthalate industry.
The current global production of 1,3-PDO is basically monopolized by Degussa, U.S. Shell and DuPont, germany. Three companies each employ a different technical route. The Degussa company uses the acrolein hydrohydrogenation process, the Shell company uses the ethylene oxide carbonylation process, and both companies are "petrochemical routes". DuPont company adopts its own innovative bioengineering method. Because only DuPont uses the fermentation method of transgenic engineering bacteria to produce 1, 3-propanediol in the world at present, duPont strictly protects the related technology and process through patent application, and forms a high technical monopoly.
The technical route of the existing acrolein hydration hydrogenation method is as follows: 3-hydroxypropanal (3-HPA) is prepared by hydration of acrolein using an inorganic acid as a catalyst, but has a low yield and poor selectivity, accompanied by occurrence of side reactions. In order to solve the problems, degussa company adopts weak acid ion exchange resin as a catalyst to improve the selectivity of 3-HPA, and the conversion rate and selectivity of acrolein hydration can be greatly improved. The Degussa company and the Hoechst company have successively studied and developed an inorganic supported acid catalyst.
The ethylene oxide carbon-based method has large equipment investment and high technical difficulty, and particularly, the preparation of the catalyst is difficult.
The intermediate products of both ethylene oxide carbonylation process and acrolein hydration and hydrogenation process are 3-hydroxy-propionaldehyde, which has unstable chemical property and is easy to produce aldol condensation reaction. And the pressure of the synthesis gas used for the carbonylation of the ethylene oxide is very high and is more than 10 MPa.
