Description

Diphenylmethane diisocyanate with low 2,2' -MDI content and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and particularly relates to diphenylmethane diisocyanate with low 2,2' -MDI content and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, the production process of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) mainly adopts a phosgenation reaction; firstly, aniline and formaldehyde are subjected to condensation reaction under the action of a catalyst to generate diamine and polyamine polymer (DAM); then, diamine and polyamine polymer (DAM) react with phosgene in a solvent to generate crude MDI; meanwhile, the crude MDI is purified in a rectification mode to obtain pure MDI and polymeric MDI; finally, pure MDI is adopted according to a certain extraction proportion to obtain different MDI isomers, including 4,4' -MDI, 2,4' -MDI and 2,2' -MDI and the mixture thereof. In an industrial process, the reaction mechanism for the preparation of MDI can be expressed as follows:
the first step is as follows: condensation reaction
Aniline + formaldehyde → diamine and polyamine polymers (DAM)
The second step is that: phosgenation reaction
DAM + phosgene → crude MDI
The third step: separation of
And (3) rectifying and purifying the crude MDI product, and separating into a pure MDI product containing various MDI isomers and PM.
The first condensation reaction, namely the reaction of aniline and formaldehyde to generate corresponding diamine and polyamine polymers, mainly comprises two steps:
(1) Aniline and formaldehyde are subjected to polymerization reaction to generate aminal, and the aminal is converted into non-translocated secondary amines PABA and OABA, namely non-translocated diamine and polyamine;
(2) Continuously reacting un-translocated PABA and OABA under the catalysis of a catalyst to gradually convert into a mixture of diamine and polyamine, namely DAM; in the process of PABA and OABA transposition, three isomers, namely 4,4' -MDA, 2,4' -MDA and 2,2' -MDA, exist in the produced bicyclic product due to different steric hindrance, and are respectively an ortho isomer, a meta isomer and a para isomer. The reaction process is shown as follows:
Figure BDA0004008503350000021
three spatial isomers of 4,4' -MDA, 2,4' -MDA and 2,2' -MDA are obtained in the translocation process of PABA and OABA, wherein 4,4' -MDA belongs to para-isomer, the steric hindrance is minimum, the specific gravity is highest in a bicyclic product, and the content of 2,2' -MDA is minimum. The contents of the three isomers are determined by the type of the selected catalyst and the activation energy of the reaction.
MDI prepared by the reaction (especially 4,4'-MDI, 2,4' -MDI) is more suitable for obtaining a determined structure than PMDI due to the dual functionality of MDI. 4,4'-MDI contains two isocyanate groups with the same activity, and people often expect to obtain an MDI mixture with a higher 4,4' -MDI ratio in previous researches, but 4,4'-MDI is difficult to realize the subsequent treatment of only one isocyanate group, and 2,4' -MDI has two isocyanate groups with different activities, so that the requirement can be well realized; at the same time, the reaction in the para position is better than the reaction in the ortho position because of steric effects, and products with specifically functionalized para isocyanate groups can be obtained.
The use of MDI mixtures with high contents of 2,4' -MDI has been widely demonstrated, for example:
the patent document EP0676434B states that the use of monomeric 2,4' -MDI in PU flexible foam systems can replace the previously additionally added mixture of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI.
The patent document EP0431331B discloses the use of 2,4' -MDI in heat-curing one-component PU systems.
However, according to the conventional production process, if a high content of 2,4'-MDI is desired, a large increase in the content of 2,2' -MDI is inevitable, which has hitherto been regarded as useless. For example, it is indicated in patent document WO 2007/087987 that: "for monomeric MDI, 4,4'MDI and 2,4' MDI isomers are predominant for reasons of synthesis. A minor amount of the 2,2' MDI isomer, which is present and essentially of no commercial value, is also formed to a lesser extent ".
This can be partly attributed to the fact that pure 2,2'-MDI cannot be used industrially and formulations containing 2,2' MDI isomers often have the following disadvantages: the monomer reacts significantly more slowly, thus causing the reaction to be less complete. This can lead to undesired migration or to the ejection of foam, for example during the bonding of food packaging materials.
2,2' -MDI or formulations containing it are therefore also considered to be waste and must be disposed of in a cost-intensive manner. Meanwhile, the 2,2' -MDI can gradually react in a system to generate acridine, and the acridine can enter a final product, particularly MDI-50, so that the problems existing in downstream application are caused, particularly in the field of paint, the smoothness of the paint surface cannot reach the standard, and the paint color is influenced.
Therefore, how to prepare an MDI mixture of 4,4' -MDI, 2,4' -MDI and 2,2' -MDI with a higher proportion and a lower content in the production process of MDI becomes a problem worthy of study.

Solid acid as a catalyst for condensation reaction of aniline and formaldehyde is known in the art, but in the existing process, the main concern is to increase the proportion of 4,4 '-isomer and the reaction conversion rate in the preparation process of (intermediate) diphenylmethane diamine and polyamine (DAM), and some studies have focused on the content of 2,4' -isomer, but no study has been made on how to further reduce the content of undesired 2,2 '-isomer so as to avoid the occurrence of acridine and other impurities in the product in the rear-end reaction stage, and particularly, in the case of high 2,4' -isomer content in the intermediate, how to avoid the increase of 2,2 '-isomer content and the increase of acridine impurity content in the rear-end reaction due to the increase of 2,2' -isomer content.

Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) The specific solid acid catalyst can effectively avoid the generation of 2,2' -isomer in (intermediate) diphenylmethane diamine and polyamine (DAM) obtained in the MDI production process, has influence on the selectivity of three MDI isomers, and can reduce the selectivity of 2,2' -MDI under the condition of high 2,4' -isomer content, thereby avoiding a series of problems in the subsequent use of MDI products;
the pyridine ionic liquid heteropoly acid catalyst is selected, the B acid strength of the ionic liquid is improved by adding the heteropoly acid, compared with the traditional heteropoly acid catalyst, the loading capacity of the ionic liquid heteropoly acid catalyst is greatly improved under the condition of the same heteropoly acid dosage, the catalytic activity is effectively improved, and meanwhile, the catalyst containing the ionic liquid and the heteropoly acid is added into a reaction system, so that the generation of 2,2 '-isomer can be avoided under the condition of high 2,4' -isomer content; in addition, the processing technology of the supercritical method enables the loading of the heteropoly acid to be more uniform, and the generation of local impurities is avoided;
the inventor finds that the high-content 2,2'-MDI isomer generated in the MDI production process can be converted into acridine, and the pyridine ionic liquid heteropolyacid catalyst is selected to greatly reduce the content of 2,2' -MDI isomer so as to effectively inhibit the generation of acridine impurities;
(2) The method also adopts a phosgenation method, obviously reduces the content of 2,2' -MDI in the target product or converts the target product into acridine impurities, does not cause subsequent cost increase, and does not change the content of each component in MDI and PMDI. The inventive concept of the preparation method can be realized by using the existing phosgenation device and separation device, and meanwhile, the risk in the production process and the reduction of the product quality can not be increased.

Figure BDA0004008503350000151
The experimental results in table 1 show that the pyridine ionic liquid heteropolyacid salt catalyst obtained by the supercritical process is selected for producing MDI in each embodiment, the specific solid acid catalyst has higher catalytic activity and catalytic selectivity, the generation of 2,2 '-isomer of (intermediate) diphenylmethane diamine and polyamine (DAM) obtained in the MDI production process can be effectively avoided, the selectivity of three isomers of MDI can be influenced, the selectivity of 2,2' -MDI can be reduced under the condition of high 2,4 '-isomer content, and the 2,2' -MDI isomer content can be greatly reduced, so that the generation of acridine impurities can be effectively inhibited.
Comparative example 1 used a solid acid catalyst that was not supported by an ionic liquid, and not only was the 2,2 '-isomer very high in content, but also the production of the higher 2,4' -isomer could not be guaranteed; comparative example 2 the production of MDI using ordinary hydrochloric acid as a catalyst also suffers from the problem of very high content of 2,2' -isomer, which is easily converted to acridine impurity at this high content, resulting in a reduced product quality. The catalyst used in comparative example 3 is not treated by the supercritical process, so that uneven loading of heteropoly acid is easy to occur, local impurity generation is caused, and product quality and subsequent application are influenced.
While certain embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above description is illustrative, not exhaustive, and not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
