Description

Industrial production method and device of glycidol
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to an industrial production method and device of glycidol.
Background
Glycidol, namely 2, 3-epoxy-1-propanol, 2, 3-epoxy propanol contains two functional groups of epoxy group and hydroxyl group in the molecule, can be used as an intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, elastomers, plastics, resins, dyes, paint and the like, can be widely used for extracting and separating various solvents, and has derivatives as industrial raw materials of pesticides, plastics, resins, medicines, assistants and the like.
Commercial processes known at home and abroad for preparing glycidol include an allyl alcohol oxidation process and a 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol low temperature dehydrochlorination process. The allyl alcohol oxidation method adopts allyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide as raw materials, epoxidation is carried out under the condition of a catalyst to prepare glycidol, but the allyl alcohol required by the route is obtained by epoxidation of propylene into propylene oxide and then isomerization, so that the cost of the glycidol obtained by the route is high, and the initial raw material propylene is a non-renewable resource. The dehydrochlorination method using 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol as raw material can prepare the raw material 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol by the reaction of glycerol and hydrogen chloride, the glycerol is a raw material which can be derived from biology, the cost is low, the sustainable development is high, therefore, the glycidol industry development of the route has more and more important green development prospect. The traditional dehydrochlorination method of 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol uses methylene dichloride as a solvent, solid sodium hydroxide is added for reaction, crude products obtained by the reaction are filtered for desalting, and then reduced pressure distillation is carried out to obtain glycidol. The method relates to the feeding of solid materials in the industrial process, is difficult to realize continuous and large-scale production, and the reaction system relates to solid phase, so that the dissolution of the solid takes time, the reaction time is long, glycidol is easy to self-polymerize in the presence of acid, alkali or salt, and the yield of the glycidol is seriously reduced due to the long reaction time, and even safety accidents occur.
Chinese patent (application No. 201210548907.2) provides a method for synthesizing glycidol, which adopts methylene dichloride as a solvent, 40% sodium hydroxide solution and catalyst amount of tetrabutylammonium chloride are reacted with 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol at 80 ℃, and anhydrous calcium chloride is used for dehydration and drying after the reaction is finished. Under the temperature condition, the method can lead to obvious ring-opening degradation of glycidol due to the existence of a large amount of water and metal ions, and the dehydration operation of a large amount of anhydrous calcium chloride has no operability of large-scale industrial production, and the production and treatment cost is high. Korean patent (KR 2004/002093) uses fine-grained phosphate instead of sodium hydroxide, and uses methylene chloride as a solvent, and the resulting solution is desalted and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain glycidol. Because water is generated in the reaction process, the crude product still contains a small amount of salt in the reduced pressure distillation process, the problem of ring-opening self-polymerization of glycidol in the presence of the salt in the distillation process is not solved, and meanwhile, the phosphate is still fed in solid form, so that the industrial continuity is difficult to realize. The domestic patent (CN 106588820A) adopts 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol and 95% ethanol solution of sodium hydroxide to react, and after the reaction is finished, most sodium chloride solid is removed by centrifugal filtration, and then the crude product is concentrated by multiple short-range thin film evaporation to obtain glycidol. Although the method avoids the problem of hydrolysis of glycidol under the existence of a large amount of water and metal salts, a plurality of defects still exist, firstly, the problem of feeding operability of solid sodium hydroxide and the problem of slow dissolution of the solid sodium hydroxide in ethanol still cannot be avoided, secondly, because 95% of ethanol is adopted as a solvent, water is generated in the reaction process, the composition (the water content is more than 5%) of the solution is positioned at one side of the composition of the lowest azeotropic system of ethanol and water (the water content is more than 5%) and the water, the water in the tower kettle cannot be removed completely by adopting common rectification, and finally, the glycerin product still contains about 1% of water after multiple film evaporation concentration, so that a small amount of metal salts still cannot be removed in the glycerin product, not only the yield of the glycidol in the evaporation process is reduced, but also the long-term stable storage of the product is brought into safety risks. The domestic patent (CN 104844463B) adopts 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol and methanol solution of sodium methoxide to react in a tower reactor, most sodium chloride solid is removed by centrifugal filtration after the reaction is finished, and then the crude product is subjected to batch rectification to obtain a glycidol finished product. The method avoids the problems of feeding and dissolving sodium hydroxide, but the cost of sodium methoxide is higher than that of sodium hydroxide, and because water is generated in the reaction process, methanol is firstly distilled out in the intermittent purification process, and the residual water in the intermittent distillation kettle and the dissolved metal salt in the water can lead to ring-opening self-polymerization of glycidol, thereby reducing the yield of glycidol and having safety risks.

The water phase at the lower layer of the liquid-liquid separator 4 enters a temporary storage tank, and isobutanol in the water phase is recovered by a solvent batch recovery tower 13 before the water phase is discharged into a sewage system.
(3) After the reaction is finished, the reaction solution is centrifugally filtered, a large amount of generated sodium chloride solids are removed, and the filtrate enters a mother liquor tank. The filter cake was washed with 100kg of isobutanol before each cake discharge. After the completion of the washing, the total amount of isobutanol was 600Kg, and the whole was incorporated into the mother liquor, and the total amount of the mother liquor was 5570Kg. The obtained mother liquor enters a wiped film evaporation device 6 at a feed rate of 300kg/hr per hour, and most of organic matters, namely crude glycidol, also comprises alkali chloride, water, azeotropic solvent, residual 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol, byproducts and the like are distilled out. The pressure of the wiped film evaporator 6 is 1mmHg, the backwater temperature of the wiped film evaporator 6 is 90 ℃, and the total weight of heavy components (residual liquid) after wiped film evaporation is about 75Kg, and the main components are sodium chloride and a small amount of 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol.

And (3) introducing steam into a jacket of the rectifying kettle, heating materials in the kettle, vacuumizing by using a water ring pump, and recovering the isobutanol under 100 mmHg. When the temperature of the top of the column was 60℃and the vacuum was 100mmHg, isobutanol was recovered at the top of the column, with a water content of 1.1%. When the top temperature starts to rise, a Roots vacuum pump is started, the vacuum is pumped to 10mmHg, and the reflux ratio is 9:1, the fraction obtained in this stage is a front-end fraction. When the top temperature is 56-57 ℃, the vacuum is 10mmHg, and the reflux ratio is 1.5:1, recovering the finished glycidol with the purity of more than 99.0 percent. When the top temperature starts to rise, the vacuum is pumped to be 1mmHg, the whole material is discharged, and the fraction obtained in the stage is a rear fraction. The front and rear fractions were all used for the next batch rectification.
The molar yield of glycidol relative to 3-chloro-1, 2-propanediol in this example was calculated to be 92%.
