Description

Method for co-producing hexamethylenediamine and cyclohexylimine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of fine chemical industry, in particular to a method for co-producing hexamethylenediamine and cyclohexylimine.
Background
Hexamethylenediamine is an important chemical raw material, and the main application of hexamethylenediamine is to react with adipic acid to produce polyamide nylon 66, and can be produced by adiponitrile, caprolactam and the like, but almost all methods for producing hexamethylenediamine on a large scale are carried out by hydrogenation of adiponitrile. Global adiponitrile has long been limited by its technical barriers in a highly monopoly pattern. Prior to 2019, domestic adiponitrile requirements were only dependent on importation. In recent years, domestic hexamethylenediamine is produced by hydrogenation of imported adiponitrile raw materials. In order to break through the key technology of hexamethylenediamine production, the research and development of adiponitrile domestic technology is broken through, and a plurality of adiponitrile domestic production devices are arranged. However, the diaminocyclohexane impurity generated in the adiponitrile hydrogenation process is difficult to separate, and seriously affects the quality of nylon 66. At present, the demand of hexamethylenediamine in China is 60 ten thousand tons, and the market price is 2.0-3.5 ten thousand yuan/ton.
The cyclohexylimine is an important organic fine chemical, is widely used as an intermediate of medicines and pesticides, and can also be used in the fields of textile, rubber, fiber, resin, water treatment, metal corrosion prevention and the like. Because of the difficulty in selecting the catalyst for synthesis, only a few countries in the world can produce the catalyst. The production process of the cyclohexylimine mainly adopts a caprolactam hydrogenation process. The demand of the full-sphere cyclohexylimine in 2021 is 1.87 ten thousand tons, and the same proportion is increased by 5.1 percent. For a long time, the cyclohexylimine in China is always imported. At present, the annual capacity of the domestic ciclesonide is about 4000 tons/year, the market price is 4.0-4.5 ten thousand yuan/ton, the price is high, and the large-scale application of the cyclohexylimine in more fields is limited.
In order to explore a novel green synthesis process of organic amine, a process for preparing hexamethylenediamine by adopting hexanediol ammonification is proposed, but the method has the common problem that the conversion rate of the hexanediol and the selectivity of the hexamethylenediamine are not high. CN114433086a developed a catalyst for catalyzing hydro-ammonification of alcohols to synthesize organic amine, which, although used for hydro-ammonification of alcohols, has improved catalytic activity and selectivity, but still cannot meet the requirement of industrial production on hexamethylenediamine yield. In addition, the high-carbon organic amine is easily polymerized in the process of preparing the hexamethylenediamine by ammoniation of the hexanediol, and if the product is not recycled, the product can only be discharged as waste liquid, so that the overall yield of the target hexamethylenediamine is low.
