Description

Method for continuously producing epoxy chloropropane
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of production of epichlorohydrin, and particularly relates to a method for continuously producing epichlorohydrin.
Background
The epoxy chloropropane is a chemical process raw material and an organic intermediate with extremely strong functionality, and is widely applied to the fields of epoxy resin, chlorohydrin rubber, plasticizer, ion exchange resin preparation and the like. At present, the method for preparing the epoxy chloropropane mainly comprises a propylene high-temperature chlorination method, a propylene acetate method, a glycerol chlorination method and a chloropropene direct epoxidation method. Wherein, the last step of the first three processes is dichloropropanol saponification reaction, which can produce a large amount of chlorine-containing wastewater and chloride salt waste residues.
The chloropropene direct epoxidation method using titanium-silicon molecular sieve as catalyst is used as the most potential green synthesis technology of epichlorohydrin, and has the advantages of low production energy consumption and environmental friendliness. Once the process is industrially applied, the process becomes a main object for producing transformation and becomes a main process for producing epichlorohydrin.
The chloropropene direct epoxidation method uses a fixed bed reactor in industrial production and has the advantages of high catalytic activity and selectivity, mild reaction conditions and the like. However, the catalyst is deactivated by accumulation of byproducts generated during the reaction, and when the catalytic activity of the catalyst is significantly reduced, a regeneration treatment is required, which is complicated and requires intermittent production stoppage. Meanwhile, the products after the reaction are subjected to oil-water separation, and intermittent production stopping is also required, and the processes directly affect the production efficiency and increase the running cost.
CN110698435A discloses a method for preparing epichlorohydrin, which uses a reaction bed as a reactor, chloropropene and hydrogen peroxide as raw materials, methanol as a solvent, a titanium silicalite molecular sieve as a catalyst, and quaternary ammonium salt as a surfactant. Although the service life of the titanium-silicon molecular sieve in the fixed bed is prolonged, the cycle period of the catalyst is prolonged, and the production efficiency is improved, the problems that intermittent production stopping, waste of reaction materials and large economic loss are required for the regeneration treatment of the catalyst and the subsequent oil-water separation cannot be avoided.
