Background
Gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane is the most basic monomer in silane coupling agents, tens of silane coupling agent products can be deeply processed by taking the gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane as a main raw material, and the production capacity of the gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane determines the production capacity of downstream products. The synthesis of gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane is mainly prepared by catalyzing hydrosilation reaction of chloropropene and trichlorosilane through a platinum complex (a Speier catalyst or a Karstedt catalyst), and industrial-grade gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane can be obtained through rectifying and separating reaction products, wherein the reaction equation is as follows:
The main reaction:
HSiCl3+ClCH2CH=CH2→ClC3H6SiCl3△H=-80.89KJ/mol
side reaction:
HSiCl3+ClCH2CH=CH2→SiCl4+CH3CH=CH2 △H=-107.49KJ/mol
HSiCl3+CH3CH=CH2→CH3CH2CH2SiCl3 △H=-87.0KJ/mol
HSiCl3+ClCH2CH=CH2→ClCH2CH(SiCl3)CH3 △H=-87.48KJ/mol
The boiling points of reactants and byproducts are low except the product gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane at normal temperature and normal pressure, so that unreacted completely trichlorosilane, chloropropene, and byproducts silicon tetrachloride, propyl trichlorosilane and propylene inevitably exist in the synthesis tail gas of the gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane. In addition, the synthesis system is fed with nitrogen or pressurized, and trichlorosilane, gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane, silicon tetrachloride and propyl trichlorosilane can hydrolyze in water or humid air to release hydrogen chloride gas.
The hydrosilylation reaction is a strong exothermic reaction, the main reaction and the side reaction of the addition are exothermic in nature, a large amount of heat is easily released in the process, and the problems of excessively high local temperature and increased pressure of a reaction system, isomerization of unsaturated bonds, increase of secondary addition products, reduction of selectivity and the like are easily caused by improper heat transfer and mass transfer control. In addition, the reaction temperature increases to accelerate the reaction rate, resulting in too severe a reaction and a danger. Therefore, a large amount of cooling systems or heat exchange devices are needed in the existing production process of the gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane to remove the reaction heat in time, and the materials of a temperature control system and equipment for the reaction are also required to meet strict requirements.
At present, the industrial production method of gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane adopts a traditional kettle type batch method and is generally divided into three process control modes, namely (1) adding a catalyst into a reaction kettle, mixing two raw materials in an overhead tank, adding the two raw materials into the reaction kettle in a dropwise manner, (2) adding one raw material and the catalyst into the reaction kettle, adding the other raw material into the reaction kettle in a dropwise manner, and (3) adding the two raw materials and the catalyst into the reaction kettle in a dropwise manner respectively. The first control mode has the advantages of intense reaction in the early stage, large heat release, slow reaction in the later stage and additional compensation of heat, and the second control mode and the third control mode have the problems of slow reaction in the early stage, easy unbalance of reaction heat control and great potential safety hazard.
In order to realize continuous production of gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane, a great deal of researches are carried out by a plurality of enterprises, and a certain result is obtained. Patent US6472549B1 discloses a process for the production of 3-functionalized propyl silanes by recycling most of the product mixture at the top of a tubular reactor with n stages in series running continuously, achieving a real-time excess of trichlorosilane during the reaction. The two-stage tubular reactors were connected in series, the initial molar ratio of trichlorosilane to chloropropene was set to 3.4:1, and the recycle ratio was set to 10:1, with a yield of 84% in terms of chloropropene. However, the initial mole ratio of trichlorosilane to chloropropene is high, and a large amount of unreacted trichlorosilane improves the subsequent treatment difficulty, so that the method is not beneficial to industrialization. Patent CN113121585A discloses a micro-reaction system and a method for continuously preparing gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane, raw materials and a catalyst are uniformly mixed in a micro-mixer and then are sent to a micro-reactor for hydrosilylation, and the yield can reach more than 85 percent. However, the reaction pressure of the micro-reaction system is high, the requirements on the micro-reactor are high, and the equipment cost is high.
In summary, the existing gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane production has the defects of complex reaction process control, unstable reaction process, long reaction period, long whole production period of products, high catalyst unit consumption, high byproducts, low product yield and the like.
Therefore, a method for preparing gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane with high reaction speed, low energy consumption and low byproducts needs to be developed, so that the production efficiency of gamma-chloropropyl trichlorosilane is improved, the production cost is reduced, and continuous production is performed.
