A kind of method of low-carbon alkene continuous production lower alcohol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of continuous production and contain the method for the lower alcohol of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, improve catalyzer mechanical stability and reactive behavior stability by a kind of simple catalyst preconditioning process, say it is pre-treatment accurately cation exchange resin catalyst.
Background technology
The low-carbon alkene direct hydration technology that with the Zeo-karb is catalyzer be with raw material olefin with after reaction process water mixes, be preheated to 100~200 ℃ and enter the direct hydration catalyticreactor and react, reaction pressure is 4.0~20.0MPa.Several sections beds are set in the reactor, and reactant is by each section of catalyzer bed in the catalyticreactor, and the reaction product of generation is separated after being derived reactor.Aqueous phase also contains the various ions and the impurity that produce in the reaction process except that containing trace alcohol, cause disadvantageous effect in order to prevent various ions and impurity to the corrosion of equipment or to reaction, needs through purifying treatment before process water loops back reactor.
Under the cation exchange resin catalyst effect, low-carbon alkene can generate corresponding low-carbon alcohol by acid catalyzed effect.Because low-carbon alkene and water dissolve each other hardly, therefore reaction is to carry out under three-phase (solid catalyst phase, liquid phase water gas phase, low-carbon alkene phase) condition.
The catalyzer that reaction is used is the heatproof strong-acid ion exchange resin of modification, and the characteristics of this catalyzer are that space-time yield height, the corrosion of reactive behavior height, catalyzer is little, pollution is light.
The reaction process that various hydration reaction processes adopt in the industrial production because the reaction process the when low-carbon alkene that contains 2 to 5 carbon atoms carries out hydration and mechanism do not coexist is different.For example the butylene direct hydration adopts, and what be that bubbling style three-phase fixed-bed reactor third rare direct hydration then adopts is the three phase trickle flow bed.But the problem that exists in its reaction process and the industrial production is similar substantially.
In catalyzing cation exchange resin propylene direct hydration process, propylene and water enter catalyticreactor through after the preheating, hydration reaction takes place form Virahol.Be reflected at gas phase or liquid phase and carry out, reaction pressure 25~250bar, 120~200 ℃ of temperature of reaction.The catalyzer of canonical process is a cation exchange resin catalyst, and the per pass conversion of propylene direct hydration reaction propylene is at 60~70mol%.
The propylene hydration reaction product is sent into water wash column, and unreacted propylene loops back reactor after separating with Virahol.Anhydrous isopropyl alcohol then separates aqueous Virahol with water through 3~6 distillation towers with a small amount of other weight component if desired.General benzene, diisopropyl ether or the C of adopting
6Alkane is made the entrainment reagent of water in sepn process.
In cation exchange resin catalyst catalysis n-butene direct hydration process, butylene and water enter catalyticreactor through after the preheating, hydration reaction takes place generate sec-butyl alcohol, reaction pressure 25~250bar, 150~200 ℃ of temperature of reaction.The catalyzer of canonical process is a Zeo-karb, and the per pass conversion of the n-butene of gas, liquid reaction is at 6~7mol%.
Resultant of reaction is flowed through from reactor head and is divided behind the heat exchanger water-yielding stratum to enter the liquid liquid separator to take off C
4Tower, water loop back reactive system after treatment.Take off C
4Cat head distilled butylene-butane cut major part is circulated back to reactive system, and the small part discharging is to avoid the accumulation of inertia butane.The crude secbutyl alcohol that the tower still obtains contains a small amount of C
4Impurity such as hydrocarbon, di-secondary butyl ether, not moisture substantially.The purification system of the crude secbutyl alcohol distillation system with the indirect hydration method of sulfuric acid basically is identical, and the purity of the back sec-butyl alcohol of purifying can reach 99.9%.
In the aforesaid method with other method together in US Patent specification 4,579, obtain in 984 and 4,456,776 describing.These methods are applied in the production of the sec-butyl alcohol (SBA) and the trimethyl carbinol (TBA) especially at Virahol (IPA).
Owing to the catalytic active center that with vinylbenzene-Vinylstyrene is the cation exchange resin catalyst of matrix is a sulfonic acid group, height along with temperature of reaction, the turnover rate of sulfonic acid group increases gradually, and the general use temperature of common cation exchange resin catalyst is no more than 120 ℃.For thermostability and the use temperature that improves cation exchange resin catalyst, with halogen group as: fluorine or chlorine or bromine are introduced on the phenyl ring of Zeo-karb and improve the thermally-stabilised of cation exchange resin catalyst, the use temperature of practicalization can reach more than 170 ℃, relatively is fit to low-carbon alkene such as C
2~C
5The direct hydration of alkene.But this catalyzer in use still has the loss of sulfonic acid group, particularly because the introduction of halogen group, sulfonate ion has stronger corrodibility to equipment under the effect of halogen, and has seriously influenced the mechanical stability of catalyzer and the stability of reactive behavior.
In Chinese patent 86012001, proposed to carry out under a kind of new condition that is used for low-carbon alkene direct hydration resin, be attached to the halogen and the azochlorosulfonate acid ion of catalyst surface by release, reduce catalyzer in use corrodibility and also handle after the catalyzer stable mechanical performance, in the work-ing life that can reduce equipment corrosion and improve catalyzer, the treatment time of general catalyzer is 360 hours.But this method exists the treatment time to grow, need with aqueous solution of alcohol, can not use the shortcoming of hardware need with equipment such as non-metallic containers.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to propose a kind of new catalyst preconditioning process, make the strong acid cation exchange resin catalyst of vinylbenzene/divinyl benzene copolymer system pass through simply, handle fast, improve the mechanical stability of catalyzer and the stability of reactive behavior.And preprocessing process is to finish in reactor, and the processing raw material of use is exactly the used raw material of low-carbon alkene direct hydration.
Method of the present invention is the method that a kind of continuous production contains the lower alcohol of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, be 100~200 ℃ of temperature of reaction, reaction pressure 4.0~20.0MPa, under the effect of cation exchange resin catalyst, the low-carbon alkene catalytic hydration that will contain 2 to 5 carbon atoms becomes low-carbon alcohol, it is characterized in that catalyzer is carried out pre-treatment, directly use hydration raw material low-carbon alkene and water 150~180 ℃ of temperature of reaction, pressure 2.0~4.0MPa, water alkene mol ratio is under 50~100 the condition catalyzer to be handled, and is 100~120 hours at pretreatment time.The catalytic activity that the loss speed of sulfonic acid and halogen obviously reduces and maintenance is more stable when pretreated like this catalyzer is used for the low-carbon alkene direct hydration process.
In above-mentioned method, treating processes can for example be carried out in the fixed-bed reactor at reactor, and catalyst system therefor can be used the Zeo-karb of vinylbenzene/divinylbenzene copolymer system.
Therefore, the present invention is simple, the easy row that becomes with a kind of preprocessing process more economical, that more efficient methods makes low-carbon alkene carry out hydration reaction process catalyzer.Before the reaction of low-carbon alkene direct hydration, adopt reaction raw materials that catalyzer is carried out pre-treatment according to the present invention, can reduce of the corrosion of reacted effluent, and keep the machinery and the active stability of reaction process equipment.
