Description

The method of a kind of coproduction dialkyl carbonate and dibasic alcohol
Technical field
The present invention relates to dialkyl carbonate (Dialkyl Carbonate, DAC), comprise methylcarbonate (Dimethyl Carbonate, DMC), diethyl carbonate (Diethyl Carbonate, DEC) etc. preparation method, relate in particular to epoxy second (third) alkane, monohydroxy-alcohol is such as methyl alcohol and ethanol etc., with greenhouse waste gas carbonic acid gas be basic raw material, the method for coproduction second (the third) the two pure and mild dialkyl carbonate.
Background technology
Dialkyl carbonate is a kind of " environmental friendliness ", broad-spectrum organic chemicals as methylcarbonate (DMC), and its toxicity is very low, deserves to be called a kind of nonpoisonous chemicla basically.It can replace methyl-sulfate (violent in toxicity) as methylating agent, with replace phosgene (violent in toxicity) as the carbonylation agent, also can be used as gasoline dope and (replace methyl tertiary butyl ether with octane value and the oxygen level that improves gasoline, MTBE), also can be used as paint solvent, such as replacement dimethylbenzene and butylacetate or ethyl ester etc., thereby has very high industrial application value.
Dialkyl carbonate has multiple synthetic method, but the method with industrialization meaning mainly contains three kinds.The one, the petrochemical complex route, it is by carbonate synthesis second (third) alkene ester, carries out transesterification reaction with alkyl alcohol then, coproduction ethylene glycol or propylene glycol are also referred to as ester-interchange method simultaneously; The 2nd, the Coal Chemical Industry route, it is to use the monobasic lower alcohol, carries out the carbonylation oxidizing reaction such as methyl alcohol and oxygen and carbon monoxide and makes, and is also referred to as the carbonylation oxidation style; The 3rd, the chemical fertilizer route, it is with urea and monobasic lower alcohol, carries out alcoholysis reaction such as methyl alcohol and makes, simultaneously ammonia gas as byproduct.
The problem that conventional art exists:
Ethylene (propylene) carbonate, comprise the synthetic of propylene carbonate (PC) or NSC 11801 (EC): the synthetic of ethylene (propylene) carbonate is a reversible reaction that thermal discharge is bigger, and catalyzer is tetraethyl-ammonium bromide (C 2H 5) 4N +Br -Or KI.Therefore, effective measure that improve transformation efficiency are along with the carrying out of reaction, constantly reduce temperature of reaction.Traditional method in U.S. Pat 4314945, adopts product ethylene (propylene) carbonate itself as solvent, or claims thinner, and wherein, ethylene (propylene) carbonate accounts for 85-99.6% (wt), and reactor is a plurality of adiabatic reactor series connection of intersegmental heat exchange.Because the exothermic heat of reaction amount of carbonate synthesis alkene ester is bigger, be 23kcal/mol, therefore, a device of producing 100000 tons of DMC per year, this part heat of per hour emitting is equivalent to 5 tons of steam, and, because the wider range of this reaction, between 100-200 ℃, can the by-product low-pressure steam, and in the conventional art, reaction heat does not obtain fine utilization.
Dialkyl carbonate is synthetic: the synthetic transesterification reaction that is based on ethylene (propylene) carbonate and monohydroxy-alcohol of dialkyl carbonate, catalyzer is to be dissolved in the highly basic sodium alkoxide that reacts feed liquid, belongs to homogeneous catalytic reaction, has separating and recycling problem of catalyzer and reaction mass.Although have a plurality of patents or document propose to adopt insoluble solid alkali, constituted the heterogeneous catalysis process, such as U.S. Pat 4661609 and document Applied Catalysis:A, 2001, there is not the separation problem of catalyzer in 259-266.But the speed of response of heterogeneous process can not show a candle to homogenous process.Under the homogeneous phase situation, being reflected at about 10 minutes can be near balance, and under heterogeneous situation, needs several hrs usually.Therefore, heterogeneous process can not adapt to the needs of scale operation, and homogenous process just can be realized scale operation.But a problem of homogenous process is the separation of catalyzer and recycles.
Second problem is that ethylene (propylene) carbonate and corresponding dibasic alcohol are such as propylene carbonate+propylene glycol, form azeotrope, dialkyl carbonate and corresponding monohydroxy-alcohol also form azeotrope, such as methyl alcohol and dimethyl carbonate azeotrope, exist the product separation problem of more complicated.In applicant's existing Chinese invention patent ZL94112211.5, a kind of reaction rectification technique that adopts tray column as reaction fractionating tower is disclosed, can make the rare ester of carbonic acid surpass conversion fully under the situation of measuring ratio in the raw material ratio of monohydroxy-alcohol, bottom at reaction fractionating tower, can there be ethylene (propylene) carbonate, PC/EC has eliminated the azeotrope of ethylene (propylene) carbonate and corresponding dibasic alcohol.But in original patent, the temperature of reaction of tower still is too high, is 185-190 ℃, causes the side reaction of bottom product ethylene glycol or propylene glycol easily.
Under the excessive situation of monohydroxy-alcohol raw material, the cat head of reaction fractionating tower can obtain monohydroxy-alcohol and dialkyl carbonate, and such as methylcarbonate and methanol mixture, both form azeotrope, and it separates and has a difficulty.For the methylcarbonate process, under the normal pressure, the DMC addition of methylcarbonate+methanol azeotrope is 30%, and methyl alcohol is 70% (wt), and azeotropic point is 63.8 ℃.Prior art has proposed multiple separation method.In applicant's existing Chinese invention patent ZL94112211.5, disclosing a kind of is the extraction and distillation technology of extraction solvent with the ethylene (propylene) carbonate.But the operational condition of announcing is not optimized, and the charging mole proportioning of extraction agent and azeotrope is higher, is 1-2; The reflux ratio of extractive distillation column is too big, and energy consumption is also higher.
The 3rd problem of methylcarbonate synthetic is, owing to adopted excessive monohydroxy-alcohol, the mol ratio of alcohol and ethylene (propylene) carbonate is about 10, therefore, a large amount of circulations of monohydroxy-alcohol must bring higher energy consumption, therefore, utilize coupling heat utilization technologies such as heat pump, making energy obtain recycle is highly significant for reducing production costs.
Summary of the invention
The technical issues that need to address of the present invention are the methods that disclose a kind of coproduction dialkyl carbonate and dibasic alcohol, solve the higher defective of this process energy consumption with the optimization by technological process and processing condition.
Technical conceive of the present invention is such:
Technology of the present invention belongs to the petrochemical complex route, and (as the technology of ZL94112211.5 patent disclosure) carried out the optimization of flow process and operating parameters on the basis of original technology, with propylene oxide (Propylene Oxide, PO) or oxyethane (EO) and CO 2Be raw material, with the big system of dialkyl carbonate synthetic whole process as an energy coupling utilization, by utilizing the reaction heat of ethylene (propylene) carbonate, and utilize heat pump techniques, make the steam requirement of synthesis of dialkyl carbonates and coproduction dibasic alcohol be controlled at product per ton (dialkyl carbonate and dibasic alcohol amount to) less than 1.0 tons levels.With propylene oxide (Propylene Oxide PO) is example, and its primitive reaction principle is as follows:
As a complete process, be divided into for two steps: (1) is by CO 2With PO reaction form propylene carbonate (Propylene Carbonate, PC); (2) by methyl alcohol and PC carry out transesterification reaction generate simultaneously propylene glycol (Propylene Glycol, PG) and DMC.These two reactions in fact all are the heat release reversible reactions that is subjected to equilibrium-limited, and the equilibrium constant of reaction (1) is about 1000, and reaction heat is about 23kcal/mol, and reaction (2) is about 0.01, and reaction heat is very little, is 2-3kcal/mol.
Therefore, total reaction is 1 molecule CO 2, 1 molecule propylene oxide and 2 molecule methyl alcohol generate 1 molecule DMC and 1 molecule PG, and this process has following two characteristics:
(1) atom utilization 100%, is the chemical reaction of zero release;
(2) with greenhouse waste gas CO 2Be raw material, turn waste into wealth;
Method of the present invention comprises the steps:
Synthesizing of ethylene (propylene) carbonate:
Rationally utilize reaction heat, the steam of by-product 0.4-0.6Mpa (temperature is about 150 ℃) can be used as the thermal source of the reboiler of dialkyl carbonate composite part.
Synthesizing of dialkyl carbonate:
(1) vapor form is adopted in the monohydroxy-alcohol circulation, and does not adopt liquid form.Enter the dialkyl carbonate of extracting rectifying tower bottom and the azeotrope of monohydroxy-alcohol is a steam by the reactive distillation column overhead, promptly reaction fractionating tower is a partial condensation.The product of extracting rectifying cat head and backflow are not adopted condenser all at first with the vapor form extraction.The steam of product unit alcohol is through directly delivering to the bottom of reaction fractionating tower after pressurizeing, as the reaction raw materials that recycles; The monohydroxy-alcohol steam of the part that refluxes heats up the back as the thermal source of the tower still reboiler of reaction fractionating tower through overdraft, and monohydroxy-alcohol circulation all employing heat pumps makes full use of heat;
(2) increase the monohydroxy-alcohol of reaction fractionating tower and the mol ratio of ethylene (propylene) carbonate, reduce tower still temperature, temperature is reduced in 70 ℃-90 ℃.Because reaction fractionating tower and extractive distillation column tower top temperature about 64 ℃, therefore, can adopt the way of pressurization, the vapor temperature of cat head is raise at 90-110 ℃, as the thermal source of tower still reheater.
(3) reduce the extraction agent/azeotrope mol ratio of extractive distillation column, thereby reduce the temperature of extractive distillation column still, for the reaction heat that makes full use of the ethylene (propylene) carbonate composite part is given security.Extractive distillation column still temperature is controlled at about 120~140 ℃, utilizes low-pressure steam by about 140~160 ℃ of the reaction heat by-products of ethylene (propylene) carbonate.
More than three technological improvements can significantly reduce the steam energy consumption and the refrigeration cycle water yield of this process.
The catalyzer of ethylene (propylene) carbonate and monohydroxy-alcohol transesterify generally adopts sodium alkoxide, as sodium methylate or sodium ethylate, both has been dissolved in monohydroxy-alcohol, also is dissolved in dibasic alcohol, and therefore, as long as sodium alkoxide is not converted into yellow soda ash, catalyzer can recycle for a long time.But, have minor amount of water deposit catalyzer situation under, ethylene (propylene) carbonate is easy to and sodium alkoxide reaction, becomes the yellow soda ash that is insoluble to reaction mass, causes inactivation.After the liquid elder generation evaporation concentration of the present invention with reactive distillation Tata still, catalyst concn in the solution is concentrated to 10-50% by 1-3% (wt), after monohydroxy-alcohol mixes, concentration is reduced to 0.5-5%, the process strainer is removed undissolved impurity wherein, such as yellow soda ash etc., suitably fresh makeup catalyst is kept the round-robin catalyst concn.
Method of the present invention has been optimized the production process of coproduction dialkyl carbonate and dibasic alcohol, can significantly reduce energy consumption and cooling water amount, compares with the production equipment of same scale, can reduce steam consumption 60-90%, and cooling water amount reduces 40-70%.
