Description

Intermittent maleic anhydride aqueous phase hydrogenation process for preparing succinic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of succinic acid preparation by maleic anhydride hydrogenation, in particular to a process method for preparing succinic acid by intermittent aqueous phase hydrogenation.
Background
As the problem of plastic contamination increases, the demand for PBS (polybutylene succinate) series copolyesters has increased due to their excellent properties of degradable materials. However, although the polymerization technology of PBS series copolyester degradable plastic products is mature, the synthesis technology of large-scale low-cost succinic acid monomer materials is not complete, and the popularization and application of high-quality degradable materials are restricted.
The currently mainstream production processes of succinic acid mainly comprise three methods of biological fermentation, maleic anhydride electrolysis and direct maleic anhydride hydrogenation. The first two methods have low yield, high energy consumption, large pollution and defects in mass production. The direct hydrogenation method of maleic anhydride, which is focused by current researchers, is considered as the most promising method for industrially producing succinic acid in the future due to the simple process and low cost.
However, the reaction for generating succinic anhydride by maleic anhydride catalytic hydrogenation is double bond saturation reaction, so that the reaction is easy to carry out, and meanwhile, the reaction is highly exothermic (delta H= -128 KJ/mol), so that the temperature rise of the maleic anhydride hydrogenation reaction is large. In addition, various unsaturated bonds such as C=C and C=O exist in the direct hydrogenation reaction of maleic anhydride, the reaction temperature sensitivity is high, and if the temperature is increased in the hydrogenation reaction of maleic anhydride, the saturation of C=O double bonds is very easy to occur, and by-products such as butyrolactone and the like are generated, so that the reaction effect is influenced.
Because of the intense heat generated by the hydrogenation of maleic anhydride, different methods have been used by current researchers to solve this problem, and thus the smooth progress of the reaction has been achieved. In patent CN103570650a, a mixed solution of an organic solvent and maleic anhydride is used as a raw material, heterogeneous catalysts such as silicon-aluminum are used, a two-stage reactor reaction method is adopted, the first-stage reactor is used for pre-hydrogenation, the reaction heat generation is reduced, and the two-stage reactor is used for realizing the conversion of high selectivity and high conversion rate of maleic anhydride hydrogenation. Rectifying and separating the generated reaction product, recycling the solvent, and hydrolyzing and crystallizing the separated succinic anhydride to generate succinic acid.
Patent CN102311332a discloses a method for producing succinic acid, which uses butyrolactone as a solvent, uses heterogeneous catalyst of alumina and other carriers, prepares maleic anhydride/gamma-butyrolactone solution, uses latent heat of gamma-butyrolactone solution to realize temperature control, and further realizes smooth reaction. And separating and hydrolyzing the generated succinic anhydride, and crystallizing to obtain the high-purity succinic acid.
In patent CN112979455a, water is used as a solution, heterogeneous catalysts such as Pd are used, and at the same time, a low boiling point solvent such as methyl ether is added into a reaction solution, so that the reaction temperature is controlled by latent heat of water and evaporation heat of the low boiling point solvent such as methyl ether, and high selectivity conversion is realized.
Although the above research method realizes high selectivity conversion of maleic anhydride, it can be seen that in order to reduce the influence caused by reaction heat, researchers usually adopt a large amount of solvent to dilute maleic anhydride, reduce the total heat release amount of the reaction in the same reaction volume in the reaction system, and realize reduction of temperature rise by using latent heat, however, the measure needs to increase working sections such as solvent circulation, product separation and the like, and increases the investment of reaction devices and the cost of material consumption and energy consumption. The method of adding the low boiling point solvent into the aqueous solution is adopted, and the solvent separation is needed in the follow-up process, so that the energy consumption is still relatively high.
Meanwhile, in the prior art, if a high-purity succinic acid product is required to be obtained, further cooling crystallization operation is required, and the operation is intermittent operation, but because the concentration of maleic anhydride in the raw materials is low, the concentration of succinic acid in the product is also low, and the reaction cost is correspondingly increased by the succinic acid crystallization operation.
Disclosure of Invention

TABLE 1
Comparative example 1
The method comprises the steps of preparing maleic anhydride solution with the mass concentration of 10% by taking r-butyrolactone as a solvent, reacting by a fixed bed reactor at the reaction temperature of 80 ℃ and the reaction pressure of 3MPa, wherein the catalyst adopts a catalyst with an active component Ni supported by a silicon-aluminum carrier, and circularly taking heat by adopting heat conducting oil in the reaction process. Separating the reacted product by a light component removing tower, a heavy component removing tower and a solvent refining tower in sequence to obtain a succinic anhydride product, hydrolyzing and crystallizing the succinic anhydride to obtain wet succinic acid, and drying the wet succinic acid to obtain the succinic acid product. Maleic anhydride conversion, succinic acid selectivity and energy consumption are shown in table 2.
In the comparative example, maleic anhydride concentration can only be about 10% due to rapid heat release of the reaction, heat transfer oil is required to be used for circularly taking heat, and the reaction process cannot be controlled due to high concentration.
Comparative example 2
The concentration of maleic anhydride raw material was 10%, maleic anhydride solution, the same catalyst as in example 3 and hydrogen gas with a hydrogen anhydride ratio of 2 were injected into an adiabatic closed reaction vessel before the reaction, and the initial reaction temperature was 80 ℃. Gas is not extracted outwards in the reaction process.
Because heat removal is not adopted, the reaction pressure and the reaction temperature are rapidly increased in the reaction process, and the product after the reaction pressure is stabilized for 1h is taken out and cooled, dried and crystallized.
Comparative example 3
The concentration of maleic anhydride raw material is 30%, maleic anhydride solution, the catalyst of the embodiment 7 and hydrogen with the hydrogen anhydride ratio of 3 are injected into a reaction kettle before the reaction, the initial reaction temperature is 80 ℃, the reaction pressure is kept at 0.5Mpa, at this time, water is in a non-boiling state, the reaction kettle adopts external circulating cooling water to take out heat, hydrogen (possibly with a small amount of water vapor entrained therein) is collected at the outlet of the top of the reactor, and the product after 4 hours of reaction is taken out and cooled for crystallization.
In the comparative example, because the concentration of maleic anhydride is higher, an external heat transfer measure is needed, otherwise, the temperature in the reactor is seriously increased, and the reaction cannot be completed.
Comparative example 4
The concentration of maleic anhydride raw material is up to 70%, maleic anhydride solution and the catalyst of example 7 are injected into a reaction kettle before the reaction, and the ratio of the hydrogen anhydride is 4h -1 The hydrogen in the reaction system is controlled to maintain the liquid phase state, the reaction kettle adopts external circulating cooling water to take heat, the initial reaction temperature is 65 ℃, and the initial reaction pressure is 0.5MPa. Unreacted hydrogen is extracted from the top end of the reaction kettle (a small amount of water vapor is difficult to avoid being entrained in the reaction kettle), and the product after 4 hours of reaction is taken out and cooled for crystallization.
In this comparative example, since maleic anhydride concentration is high, an external heat transfer measure must be used, and even if the initial temperature is lower than that of example 7 and an external heat transfer measure is used, the reaction temperature rise cannot be controlled, the temperature rise is rapid, the side reaction is serious, and the succinic acid selectivity is extremely low.
