A kind of method of ethylene process of preparing vinyl acetate
The present invention relates to ethene, acetic acid and oxygen or oxygen-containing gas is raw material, and gas-phase reaction prepares the method for vinyl acetate.
With ethene, acetic acid and oxygen or oxygen-containing gas is raw material, to prepare vinyl acetate be more sophisticated technology to gas-phase reaction in fixed-bed reactor, appropriate catalyst is that active constituent contains Pd and KOAc, and can contain Au, Ba or Cd, and/or its corresponding salt compounds, these active constituents are carried on SiO usually

3Mixture on.It is ripe that this class activity of such catalysts component is tending towards already, what people were more after the seventies is that the distribution mode of its active constituent on carrier launched research, and the catalyzer that constantly has yolk type, protein type and eggshell type isoreactivity component to be non-uniform Distribution is released.The catalyzer of active constituent non-uniform Distribution is with respect to equally distributed catalyzer, and its apparent activity, selectivity and anti-poisoning capability all are significantly improved.
Above-mentioned traditional catalyzer, no matter whether active constituent is evenly or non-uniform Distribution, granules of catalyst is generally sphere, later result of study is found, catalyzer based on ball type carrier is too big in the pressure drop of high-speed reaction conditions lower bed layer, brought difficulty to technological operation, some aspheric special-shaped beaded catalysts then can adapt to the operational condition of high-speed preferably.Just released the multiple special-shaped bar-shaped catalyzer that gas-phase reaction prepares vinyl acetate that is used for as patent EP 0464633A1, cross-sectional shape has the figure of eight, " product " font and porous circle etc.Compare with the traditional spheroidal catalyzer, special-shaped, particularly have more gas passage in the beds that the catalyst loading of porous abnormal shape becomes, experimental data shows that the space-time yield of such catalyzer has comparatively significantly raising, and the bed pressure drop loss reduces to some extent.
Yet,, but have a whether problem of appropriateness with the size of gas passage volume in the beds of shape of catalyst institute direct correlation.Obviously the increase of gas passage volume, can obtain higher space-time yield and make the bed pressure drop loss reduce, but the aggravation of the excessive material air-teturning mixed phenomenon that then can induce reaction, reaction mass is overstand in beds, make heat of reaction be difficult in time removing on the contrary, this will cause the increase of side reaction.Simultaneously, the product over-drastic that more serious material back-mixing also makes first set reaction generate stops and causes deep oxidation, thereby causes the coking of catalyst surface, the active centre on blocking catalyst surface.All these finally all will cause selectivity of catalyst to descend, and can't make catalyzer keep good reaction activity in the long time.More or less there are the problems referred to above in the special-shaped catalyst of existing preparation vinyl acetate.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of new be raw material with ethene, acetic acid and oxygen or oxygen-containing gas, gas-phase reaction prepares the method for vinyl acetate, the catalyzer that is adopted is special-shaped beaded catalyst, its suitable particle shape makes the gas passage that has suitable volumes in the catalyzer, and it has overcome the defective that prior art exists effectively.
