Description

The method that is used for preparing ethandiol by catalyzing epoxyethane hydration
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that is used for preparing ethandiol by catalyzing epoxyethane hydration, particularly make catalyzer, by the method for preparing ethandiol by catalyzing epoxyethane hydration about niobic acid with a kind of loading type.
Background technology
Ethylene glycol is important aliphatic dihydroxy alcohol, and is of many uses, and main application is to produce vibrin, comprises fiber, film and engineering plastics.Also can directly be used as refrigerant and frostproofer, also be simultaneously to produce the indispensable materials of product such as Synolac, softening agent, paint, tackiness agent, tensio-active agent, explosive and capacitor electrolyte.
With oxyethane is feedstock production ethylene glycol, mainly contain two kinds of operational paths: a kind of is direct hydration method, oxyethane and water react generation ethylene glycol under certain condition, and reaction does not need catalyzer just can carry out, and is divided into two kinds of technologies of catalytic hydration and on-catalytic hydration; Another kind is the ethylene carbonate method, promptly oxyethane under catalyst action, elder generation and CO 2Reaction generates ethylene carbonate, and hydrolysis generates ethylene glycol then.
Industrial production ethylene glycol adopts the uncatalysed processes of hydration method at present, also is current method of producing unique use.This method is not used catalyzer, the mol ratio of water and oxyethane (hereinafter to be referred as water than) be 20~25: 1,150~200 ℃ of temperature of reaction, reaction pressure 0.8~2.0MPa, oxyethane transformation efficiency be near 100%, glycol selectivity 88~90%.This method disadvantage is that energy consumption is big, the evaporation concentration long flow path, for example in refined product ethylene glycol step, when the feed water ratio is 20, evaporate and remove the no water that is approximately 19 times of ethylene glycol, need to consume and count 170 kilocalories heat energy, mean that producing 1 ton of ethylene glycol need consume about 5.5 tons of steam with every mole of ethylene glycol, make that this method facility investment is big, the production cost height.Simultaneously in the presence of catalyst-free, hydration reaction speed is slow, the industrial need adopted bigger pipeline reactor, caused the increase of transmission and mass transfer energy, in addition, a high proportion of feed water is than the glycol product selectivity is improved significantly, and consumptions such as the by product Diethylene Glycol that generates, triethylene glycol are little, and the ethylene glycol demand growth is very fast, thereby, develop a kind of preparing ethandiol by catalyzing epoxyethane hydration technology, improve this technology whole synthesis performance and seem particularly important.
Catalytic hydration is produced the method for ethylene glycol the earliest, once adopts inorganic acid as catalyst, makes catalyzer as using sulfuric acid, and oxyethane can all transform, and the ethylene glycol yield is 88~90%.But because liquid acid catalyst etching apparatus, contaminate environment, there are problems in quality product, need add alkali neutralization and separation circuit during aftertreatment, and product selectivity is compared with the on-catalytic hydration and be there is no clear superiority and can say, therefore, traditional acid catalysis hydrating process is eliminated, and does not re-use.
For overcoming the shortcoming of mineral acid catalytic hydration, people have carried out many-sided improvement research to the catalyzer that is used for hydration of epoxy ethane to prepare ethandiol, and the research focus mainly adopts solid acid as catalyst such as ion exchange resin, quaternary alkylphosphonium salt.
US 5488184 discloses a kind of anionite-exchange resin of quaternary ammonium group that has as the ethylene oxide hydration catalyzer.At 80~200 ℃ of temperature of reaction, reaction pressure 200~3000KPa, water is than 1~15: react under 1 the condition, the transformation efficiency of oxyethane is near 100%, the selectivity 95% of ethylene glycol.But the remarkable shortcoming of this catalyst system is that the resin catalyst resistance toheat is poor, and in the hydration reaction temperature range, the expansion situation of catalyzer is more serious, and it is very fast to cause the reactor bed pressure drop to be risen, and shortens catalyzer work-ing life.
JP82106631 discloses a kind of K 2MoO 4-KI catalyzer makes oxyethane and carbonic acid gas generate ethylene carbonate 160 ℃ of reactions, is catalyzer then with the aluminum oxide, 140 ℃ of temperature of reaction, under the pressure 2.25MPa condition, hydrolysis obtains the ethylene glycol product, oxyethane transformation efficiency 100%, glycol selectivity 99.8%.Use the distinguishing feature of above-mentioned catalyzer to be: when catalyzer was dissolvable in water water, oxyethane transformation efficiency and product selectivity were higher, but catalyzer easily runs off, and poor stability has brought unnecessary trouble to postprocessing working procedures; When catalyzer was water insoluble, the oxyethane transformation efficiency obviously reduced, and the selectivity of ethylene glycol is relatively poor.
US5874653 discloses a kind of method for preparing ethylene glycol, use the agent of poly organic silicon alkane ammonium salt in catalysis, oxyethane and water prepared in reaction ethylene glycol, the disclosed embodiment reaction result of document is: the reaction times is usually about 6 hours, glycol selectivity is 93~95%, but the oxyethane transformation efficiency is on the low side, and usually 40~50%, the highest have only 76%.
Japanese patent laid-open 06-179633 discloses a kind of manufacture method of aryl ethylene glycol, this patent is that the aryl rings oxidative ethane is handled with niobic acid in water and water-containing solvent, can effectively the oxirane ring in the aryl rings oxidative ethane partly be added water decomposition, the yield of aryl ethylene glycol is higher, the shortcoming of this method is that water is than too high, separation brings huge energy consumption to ethylene glycol in the existence of big water gaging, causes production cost higher; And the document does not relate to the stability of catalyzer.
Japanese patent laid-open 7-53219 has introduced a kind of columbic acid particle and preparation method thereof, and this columbic acid particle contains acidity H 0: the acid amount A below-3.0 is 0.35 mmole/more than the gram, wherein be H more than 50% 0: the strong acid amount below-5.6, the document do not relate to and are used for the reaction that hydration prepares ethylene glycol, and a tree name studies show that the columbic acid particle of preparation is not suitable for the catalyzing epoxyethane hydration reaction for preparing glycol because acidity is strong excessively.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome in the past in the document, oxyethane on-catalytic hydration reaction water is than higher, or the liquid acid catalyst etching apparatus of catalytic hydration use, contaminate environment, solid acid catalyst poor stability or stability and activity can not be taken into account simultaneously, cause this method energy consumption big, defect of high cost, a kind of method that is used for preparing ethandiol by catalyzing epoxyethane hydration is provided, and this method is suitable for low water than operation, reduces the required heat energy of processing reaction excessive water significantly, the catalyzer that uses not only has good activity, selectivity, have advantages of excellent stability simultaneously, it is little to have an energy consumption, the characteristics that production cost is low.
