Abstract
A process for preparing ether and its alcohol-ether mixture features that the built-up zeolite from acidic mesoporous and macroporous zeolites is used as catalyst and the light olefins (ethene, propene and butene) and their mixture take part in hydroetherifying reaction with the water and/or alcohol. Said ethers and their mixture can be used as solvent and additive of gasoline to increase the octane number and anti-knocking nature of gasoline.
Description
The present invention relates to produce the method for ether and alcohol-ether mixture thereof by the catalyzed reaction of alkene.More particularly, the present invention relates to light olefin and water and/or alcohol and under catalyst action, carry out the method that ether and alcohol-ether mixture thereof are produced in the hydration and etherification reaction.
In order to prepare ether by light olefin, need a kind of effective catalysis process, increase the high-octane rating blending supply of raw material that gasoline is used by it.The ether of lower molecular weight such as diisopropyl ether (DIPE) and knownly have a high blending octane rating all in the boiling range scope of gasoline.The stream of light olefins mixture of C2～C7 molecular weight ranges is also produced in petrochemical industry, these hydrocarbon streams or its cut are changed into various ethers and composition thereof, and these ethers also can be used as solvent and gasoline blending raw material, mix and improve its octane value and anti-knocking property in the gasoline.
Realize by the first step hydration and the second step etherificate from the synthetic ether of alkene.Hydration reaction is to generate corresponding alcohol by alkene and water reaction; Etherificate generates ether by alkene and alcohol reaction and two reactions of pure intermolecular dehydration reaction generation ether are carried out.
Making the catalytic hydration of olefins etherificate is known with the technology of producing ether and composition thereof, is widely adopted, and has the important commercial meaning.ZSM-5 is suggested in the synthetic patent US4214107 of Virahol (IPA), is a kind of mesopore SiO
2: Al
2O
3Be at least 12 crystalline aluminium hydrochlorate zeolite catalyst.Its feature is that the IPA selectivity is good, does not contain propylene dimer in the product.The recommended catalyzer as first conversion zone of ZSM-5 in the synthetic patent US 5144086 of DIPE two-stage method, olefin hydration becomes pure activity because it has preferably exactly.And under same reaction conditions, ZSM-5 and other zeolite such as ZSM-35, Y zeolite beta-zeolite etc. compare, and it is then relatively poor by the activity that IPA is converted into DIPE.
Beta-zeolite be by U.S. Mobil company in 1967 synthetic (US 3308069) at first, be a kind of crystalline aluminosilicate of macropore high silica alumina ratio.Beta-zeolite has and is better than that other is big, the light olefin hydration and etherification of mesopore zeolite becomes the activity of ether, second conversion zone by the reaction of the synthetic DIPE of IPA in by first-selected as catalyst for etherification.The patent CN 1035492 of Mobil company has listed the example of the beta-zeolite catalytic activity of many propylene hydration system IPA and DIPE, and makes comparisons so that its superiority to be described with other zeolite.Under the same terms, the etherificate catalytic activity of β zeolite is better than some known olefin hydration catalyst for etherification, as solid silicon aluminum molecular screen, solid tungsten catalyzer, the phosphoric acid etc. that is stated from liquid and other large pore zeolite, as Y zeolite, overstable gamma zeolite, mordenite etc.Not with tackiness agent blended beta-zeolite than good with the mixed beta-zeolite activity of tackiness agent.Beta-zeolite (the SiO of adhesive-free

3Be 40) under 150 ℃ of temperature, pressure 70bar, propylene WHSV 0.5, water/condition of 0.5: 1 of alkene mol ratio, the per pass conversion of propylene is 45%, wherein to the selectivity of IPA and DIPE be 97% (IPA40%, DIPE57%).
ZSM-5 and beta-zeolite are at present by preferred two kinds of catalyzer as the olefin hydration etherificate.They have many outstanding advantages than other hydration and etherification catalyzer such as resin and heteropolyacid etc.: higher to propylene conversion, better, high temperature resistant to the selectivity of pure and mild ether, insensitive, renewable to impurity in the charging (as metal ion and basic nitrogen), etching apparatus, product postprocessing are simple or the like.
But ZSM-5 and beta-zeolite respectively have the characteristics of oneself again.The restricted index of ZSM-5 is 6～8.3 (316～371 ℃), belongs to mesopore zeolite, and acid amount and strength of acid are higher, but only better to the selectivity of IPA, and be very little to the selectivity of DIPE, can not be used to produce DIPE separately.And the restricted index of beta-zeolite is 0.6～2.0 (316～399 ℃), belong to large pore zeolite, can hold the IPA molecule fully, therefore the generation of DIPE is not controlled by pore volume, but its transformation efficiency and selectivity remain further to be improved and the speed of generation ether is very fast, wayward, the easy coking of catalyzer, the work-ing life of limiting catalyst.If above-mentioned two catalyst junction are used to produce ether and composition thereof altogether, will bring into play individual advantage certainly, overcome corresponding defective, reach good effect.
The purpose of this invention is to provide all higher method of a kind of selectivity, transformation efficiency by light olefin system ether and composition thereof.
Feature of the present invention is to select for use a kind ofly to mix the composite molecular sieve that forms as catalyzer by mesopore and large pore zeolite, and the hydration and etherification of catalysis light olefin and water and/or alcohol reacts under the etherification reaction condition.More particularly, be that to adopt mesopore and large pore zeolite to mix the composite molecular sieve that forms in 2: 8～8: 2 ratio (weight ratio) be catalyzer of the present invention.Wherein the ratio of mesopore and large pore zeolite is preferably 4: 6～6: 4 (weight ratio).The tackiness agent that in catalyst preparation process, also can add 20～40% (weight).
Above-mentioned zeolite is selected from beta-zeolite, ZSM-5, X, L, Y, REY, Deal Y, ZSM-3, ZSM-4, ZSM-20 and ZSM-50, most preferably beta-zeolite and ZSM-5; Above-mentioned alkene is the mixture of ethene, propylene, butylene or above-mentioned alkene; Above-mentioned alcohol is methyl alcohol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, Virahol or butanols, or these pure mixtures.
Catalyst compounded used tackiness agent must be able to stand temperature used in the hydration and etherification process of the present invention and other condition.Generally wish silicon-dioxide, tackiness agent such as aluminum oxide with can have high crushing strength after catalyzer combines because in plant-scale application, wish to prevent catalyst breakage powdering material here.The purpose of using these binding agents also is in order to improve the crushing strength of catalyzer.
The operational condition of these olefin hydration etherification methods is not strict especially.They comprise that temperature range is from about the envrionment temperature to 300 ℃, preferably are about 50～220 ℃, preferredly are about 90～200 ℃; The pressure of total system is at least about 0.5～20.0MPa, preferably is at least about 2.0～15.0MPa, the preferred 4.0～10.0MPa that is at least about; Air speed (WHVS) is 0.3～0.8; Water: the mol ratio of total olefin is about 0.1～30, preferably is about 0.2～15, and best is about 0.3～5; Sometimes may under the low mol ratio of water, operate total olefin, for example water to the mol ratio of total olefin less than 1 condition under.Selecting the specific operation condition will influence product by concrete charging distributes.
