Description

Process method for producing diethyl hexyl carbonate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a process method for producing diethyl hexyl carbonate.
Background
Diethyl hexyl carbonate, also known as diisooctyl carbonate (DEHC), is a colorless transparent oil used in cosmetics as a emollient, skin conditioner, dispersant. The diethyl hexyl carbonate has extremely strong polar ester group, good lubricity, wear resistance, self-cleaning property and corrosion resistance, higher thermal oxidation stability and lower pour point, has good solubility with hydrocarbon oil, can be biodegraded, and is also a good environment-friendly lubricating oil base material.
The existing method for synthesizing DEHC mainly comprises a phosgene method, an oxidative carbonylation method, an ester exchange method and the like. The transesterification method is a clean production process, and is synthesized by transesterification of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and 2-Ethylhexanol (EHOH), and methanol as a byproduct can be used as a raw material for synthesizing the dimethyl carbonate at the same time, so that the dimethyl carbonate can be recycled. The catalyst for synthesizing DEHC by two-step transesterification of DMC and EHOH has few reports, mainly comprises solid alkali, titanate, organic tin/mesoporous carbon and the like, but has the defects of complex preparation and recycling, low catalytic activity and the like, so that the development of a clean and efficient process is very necessary.
At present, the product is mainly produced by the win of Germany, and the domestic productivity is insufficient, so that the development of a simple green synthesis and purification process of diethyl hexyl carbonate is urgently needed at present, the large-scale production of the product is realized, and the situation that the raw materials are dependent on import for a long time is changed.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a process method for producing diethyl hexyl carbonate, which can realize continuous use of a catalyst without treatment, and the purity and yield of the prepared product can meet the existing purity requirement, and can realize large-scale production of diethyl hexyl carbonate.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a process for producing diethyl hexyl carbonate, comprising the steps of:
(1) Adding dimethyl carbonate and 2-ethylhexanol into a reaction kettle, and adding a solid base catalyst to perform transesterification reaction to obtain diethyl hexyl carbonate reaction liquid;
(2) Distilling the reaction liquid obtained in the step (1) under reduced pressure, concentrating, desolventizing to obtain recovered 2-ethylhexanol serving as a solvent sleeve for the step (1); the content of 2-ethylhexanol in the obtained concentrated solution is less than 5%;
(3) Washing the concentrated solution obtained in the step (2) with water to obtain a water washing solution, and removing the water washing solution from the step (5);
(4) Rectifying the concentrated solution obtained after the distillation in the step (4) under reduced pressure to obtain a finished product of diethyl hexyl carbonate;
(5) And (3) dehydrating the water washing liquid obtained in the step (3) by distillation until the water content is less than 0.1%, obtaining the catalyst, and returning to the step (1) for reuse.
The invention further improves the scheme as follows:
the solid base catalyst in the step (1) is hydroxide or carbonate of alkali metal, the mass of the solid base catalyst is 0.5-1% of the mass of dimethyl carbonate, and the molar ratio of the 2-ethylhexanol to the dimethyl carbonate is 2.1-5.0:1.
Preferably, the solid base catalyst is sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate, and the molar ratio of the 2-ethylhexanol to the dimethyl carbonate is 2.1-3.0:1.
Further, the temperature of the transesterification reaction in the step (1) is 90-140 ℃ and the time is 3-6 hours.
In the step (1), as the reaction temperature increases, methanol produced by the reaction is distilled out of the reaction vessel with the increase in temperature to obtain methanol. In addition, since the reaction of the dimethyl carbonate existing in a small amount is incomplete, the dimethyl carbonate and the methanol are liable to be azeotroped, so that a mixture of the dimethyl carbonate and the methanol is obtained at the time of distillation, and the mixture can be returned again to prepare the dimethyl carbonate.
Further, the temperature of the reduced pressure concentration in the step (2) is 110-150 ℃, and the vacuum degree is minus 0.09-minus 0.1MPa.
The 2-ethylhexanol distilled and recovered in this step may contain methyl octyl carbonate as an intermediate and diethyl hexyl carbonate as a product, and both of them may be converted into products, so that the reaction effect of step 1 is not affected.
Further, the catalyst is separated from the concentrated solution in the step (3) by water washing, wherein the water is used in an amount of 5-10% by weight of the concentrated solution in the step (2).
Further, the vacuum degree of the reduced pressure rectification in the step (4) is 80-100Pa, and the temperature is 145-155 ℃; the obtained finished product of the diethyl hexyl carbonate is cosmetic-grade diethyl hexyl carbonate, and the purity is more than 99.0 percent.
Further, adding 2-ethylhexanol in the distillation dehydration step in the step (5) for azeotropic dehydration, and returning the 2-ethylhexanol solution of the catalyst to the step (1) for reuse when the water content in the dehydration liquid is less than 0.1%; the amount of 2-ethylhexanol is sufficient to achieve a dehydration effect, and preferably the amount of 2-ethylhexanol added is not more than the amount of 2-ethylhexanol in step 1.
In summary, compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. according to the invention, dimethyl carbonate and 2-ethylhexanol are used as raw materials, diethyl hexyl carbonate is synthesized by utilizing a solid base catalyst through transesterification, and crude products after light components are removed are distilled and rectified by steam to obtain cosmetic-grade diethyl hexyl carbonate, so that the reaction catalysis effect is good, the side reaction is less, and the yield is high; the water-soluble catalyst is separated out by washing the concentrated solution after the light components are removed, and the catalyst can be continuously used. The product subjected to steam distillation treatment is odorless, the whole process is environment-friendly and economical, and the blank of industrialization of the diethyl hexyl carbonate in China is filled.
2. After the reaction is finished, the catalyst is not subjected to filtering operation, but is subjected to reduced pressure distillation to recover the 2-ethylhexanol, then the concentrated solution is subjected to water washing, the water-soluble catalyst is separated from a reaction system, and azeotropic dehydration is carried out by using the 2-ethylhexanol, so that the catalyst is regenerated, and is recycled; the catalyst utilization rate is high, and the production efficiency is improved.
3. In the reaction process, the methanol generated by the reaction can be distilled out along with the temperature rise along with the rise of the reaction temperature, and the reaction is further pushed to the direction of the diethyl hexyl carbonate along with the continuous separation of the methanol from the reaction system. And the 2-ethylhexanol is distilled and recovered, and the reaction is further carried out towards the direction of the diethyl hexyl carbonate due to the existence of the catalyst, so that the conversion rate of the reaction is also improved.
