Description

The method for preparing alkylene glycol
The present invention relates to prepare the method for alkylene glycol by alkylene oxide.More specifically, relate to the method that high-level efficiency prepares alkylene glycol.
Alkylene glycol, especially ethylene glycol can be used as the raw material of synthon or resin, or as antifreezing liquid, are important industrial compounds therefore.
Prepare in the method for alkylene glycol, well-known is hydrolysis alkylene carbonate method.This class reaction is carried out in the presence of the hydrolysis reaction catalyzer usually, once proposed to use the hydrolysis reaction catalyzer, as alkaline carbonate (United States Patent (USP) 4,117,250), molybdenum compound (JP-B-55-154927) or tungsten compound (JP-B-55-154928), to improve speed of reaction.
Use the hydrolysis reaction catalyzer can quicken hydrolysis, but the degree deficiency of quickening.Satisfy industrialized speed of reaction if at high temperature react to reach, the problem of existence is the degradation of product.On the other hand, carry out if react under the lesser temps, to guarantee quality product, then speed of reaction slows down, and needing increases the productive rate that reactor volume obtains being scheduled to, or unreacted alkylene carbonate can remain in the product.
If ethylene carbonate remains in the ethylene glycol production process after the hydrolysis, ethylene carbonate and ethylene glycol form azeotropic mixture, make to separate or purify difficulty takes place, and this is very important to industrialization.
And in the alkylene carbonate hydrolysis, the molar ratio of water and alkylene carbonate is about 1.3: 1 to 5.0: 1 usually in the raw material of adding.If molar ratio is less than this scope, the problem of appearance is to carry out with reaction, and water will be consumed, and the density loss of water reduces speed of reaction, therefore, need the long period to finish reaction, and the impurity level that forms can increase.On the other hand, if the water yield that adds exceeds this scope, the amount of water obviously exceeds the amount of reaction consumes in the system, and the problem of appearance is to need a large amount of heats to come reacting by heating solution and divide dried up at purification system.
Alkylene carbonate as raw material can make by alkylene oxide and carbonic acid gas are reacted in the presence of the carbonation reaction catalyzer.Yet when this reactions steps and hydrolysing step carry out continuously, if use round-robin carbonation reaction catalyzer, carbonation catalyst is active can progressively to descend.Therefore, require a kind of method of research, do not reduce activity of such catalysts.
The object of the invention provides the method for producing alkylene glycol, and this method does not have above-mentioned problem.Particularly, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method, can suppress energy consumption, reuse the carbonation reaction catalyzer by circulation, catalyst activity can variation, even using under the situation of the alkylene carbonate that alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide reaction are made, also can finish hydrolysis effectively at lesser temps and short time.
The inventor has carried out extensive studies, to solve top problem, finds to make the alkylene carbonate transformation efficiency in certain scope by water concentration in the reactive system is kept within the specific limits, can suppress energy consumption, keeps high-caliber speed of reaction.Find to have finished the present invention on the basis at this.
That is, the preparation method of alkylene glycol has reached purpose of the present invention, and this method is a continuous processing, comprise the following steps (1)-(4), wherein, hydrolysing step (2) is divided into a plurality of stages, and the water concentration that makes the alkylene carbonate transformation efficiency be at least 60% step of reaction that is hydrolyzed is 15-30% (weight):
(1) carbonation step makes alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide reaction in the presence of the carbonation reaction catalyzer, form the solution that contains the carbonic acid alkylene;
(2) hydrolysing step, the reaction soln that hydrolysing step (1) makes, while release of carbon dioxide, the aqueous solution of formation alkylene glycol;
(3) distilation steps, the distillation alkylene glycol aqueous solution, the solution that makes the alkylene glycol of dehydration at least and contain the agent of carbonating catalyzed reaction; With
(4) circulation step provides the solution that contains the carbonation reaction catalyzer to carbonation step (1).
Describe the present invention below in detail.
Among the present invention, at first, alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide gas precursor reactant form the reaction soln that contains the carbonic acid alkylene in the presence of catalyzer.Alkylene oxide should form the reaction soln that contains carbonic acid alkylene and alkylene glycol with carbon dioxide and water reaction.Can adopt known method to carry out this reaction.
The catalyzer that uses is as being alkali metal bromide or iodide, alkaline earth metal bromide or iodide, ammonium halide (tributyl-methyl phosphonium iodide ammonium) or phosphonium halide (as iodate tributyl Jia Ji Phosphonium).Wherein, preferred especially halogenation quaternary phosphine uses the halogenation quaternary phosphine that is expressed from the next usually.
Figure A0010235400051
In the following formula, R1-R4 represents a group independently of one another, as alkyl, alkenyl, aryl or aralkyl, can have do not participate in reacting, the substituting group of bonding.X is chlorine, bromine or iodine.
The object lesson of this class halogenation quaternary phosphine have the 2nd and the page 3 of JP-A-58-22448 described those.Wherein, particularly preferably be halogenation Si Wan Ji Phosphonium, R1-R4 wherein is C independently of one another 1-6Alkyl.Usually synthetic halogenation quaternary phosphine outside system joins system then.Yet if desired, corresponding quaternary phosphine and alkyl halide can add this reactive system, form the halogenation quaternary phosphine in this reactive system.As the carbonation reaction catalyzer, can use the halogenation quaternary phosphine separately, but if desired, can mix and use other promotor and common catalyst component.For example, the halogenation quaternary phosphine can make up with 0.01-1 mol alkali metal carbonate, might reduce by product in the carbonation step, as the formation of glycol ether, and the reaction of promotion hydrolysing step.
Carry out at 70-200 ℃ as the carbonation reaction step 1, be advisable for 100-170 ℃, 100-150 ℃ better.If temperature of reaction is low, speed of reaction can slow down.On the other hand,, can increase side reaction, because the loss that catalyst decomposes caused increases if temperature of reaction is too high.Reaction pressure is generally 5-50kg/cm 2G (0.59-5.0MPa), 10-30kg/cm 2G (1.08-3.04MPa) is advisable.Raise with reaction pressure, general alkylene oxide reaction speed can improve, and reduces the generation of by product as two aklylene glycols.Yet, under high pressure carrying out this reaction needed and use expensive reactor and other device, the cost of compression arbon dioxide gas institute energy requirement rises.
The carbon dioxide of supply response system and the molar ratio of alkylene oxide generally are 5 to the maximum, are 3 preferably to the maximum.If this molar ratio is too big, reaction can be carried out fully, but the cost of the energy of compression arbon dioxide gas increases.Even this molar ratio is less than 1, reaction still can be carried out.Yet carbon dioxide not only is used as reaction raw materials, but also is used for the stirring reaction system, in case local temperature raises.Therefore, the carbon dioxide that provides and the molar ratio of oxyethane are 0.5 to be advisable at least, and at least 1.0 is better.As described above, water should be provided in reactive system.The ratio of water and alkylene oxide can be any, but general its molar ratio is 10 to the maximum, is 5 preferably to the maximum.If this molar ratio is too big, the concentration of the alkylene glycol aqueous solution that makes by hydrolysing step subsequently reduces, and will spend a lot of money to remove and anhydrate.On the other hand, even molar ratio less than 1, when promptly providing water less than the equimolar amount with alkylene oxide, reacts and still can carry out.Yet,, provide the big water yield extremely to a certain degree favourable from the angle of control reaction temperature.
Reactor can use the reactor of any kind, as long as can provide good solution-air contact.Should use bubbling column reactor, add alkylene oxide, carbon dioxide, catalyzer and water at tower bottom, the reaction soln of formation and excess carbon dioxide gas are discharged from the top.Reaction soln is sent into next hydrolysing step, is circulated to bubbling column reactor behind the carbon dioxide of supplement consumed.This reaction is strong heat release, therefore should pass through exterior cooling system control reaction temperature, and reaction soln is discharged from cat head, by heat exchanger cooling, gets back to reactor bottom then.
The method that is used to prepare alkylene glycol and alkylene carbonate comprises by from above-mentioned carbonation step discharge section or total overall reaction solution.The solution of discharging is sent into first distilation steps, from top of tower, and distillation water outlet, alkylene glycol and a small amount of azeotropic alkylene carbonate of following, these are recycled to below with the hydrolysing step of describing (this step is used to prepare alkylene glycol).
In first distilation steps, solution keeps enough residence time in tower, makes reaction proceed to nearly all two alkylene glycol and disappears.Can think that this reaction is the carbonating of two alkylene glycol.By this step, can prevent that the entrainment of two alkylene glycol in alkylene carbonate from discharging from cat head in after-fractionating step subsequently.
The liquid that obtains at the bottom of the tower of first distilation steps is sent into the after-fractionating step.In this liquid, contain two alkylene glycol hardly.The alkylene carbonate that can obtain to purify from cat head.On the other hand, recyclable carbonic acid alkylene liquid, two alkylene glycol reaction product and the catalyzer of containing at the bottom of the tower, and they are circulated to below with the hydrolysing step of describing (this step is used to prepare alkylene glycol).
Afterwards, above the reaction soln hydrolysis that contains the carbonic acid alkylene that obtained, carbon dioxide gas forms the alkylene glycol aqueous solution simultaneously.The hydrolysis of alkylene carbonate can be represented by following formula (1).
Figure A0010235400071
Finish in the popular response system of hydrolysis with a step or polystep reaction, only finish this reaction by the water that adds, and can not control the concentration of water, water concentration carries out with reaction and descends, and the speed of this reaction progressively descends, and needs the long period to finish this reaction.Water concentration prevents that speed of reaction from reducing in the raw material that adds if improve, and the problem of Cun Zaiing is that a large amount of heat energy of needs are used for dividing dried up and reacting by heating solution at purification system as previously described.
Among the present invention, hydrolysing step can be divided into a plurality of stages, and the water concentration that the alkylene carbonate transformation efficiency is at least 60% step of reaction should remain on 15-30% (weight) scope.
If less than 15% (weight), as previously described, speed of reaction is tending towards descending water concentration in the step of reaction of intended conversion rate.On the other hand, even water concentration is increased to more than 30% (weight), corresponding to the not further raising of increasing amount speed of reaction of water concentration, and above-mentioned energy consumption increases, and is invalid like this.
Water concentration the method in the scope that the present invention enumerates of remaining on is for example had monitor hydrolytic process and water consumption respectively by test, and add the method for corresponding water amount continuously or intermittently, or the water yield in the periodic monitor system, and add the method for the water of requirement according to monitoring result.
The method that adds entry to system has, as the method that pumps up, and water should preheat keeping temperature of reaction constant, the supply response device, or the steam that its vapour pressure is at least reaction pressure is blown into the method for reactive system.But the method to heating does not have concrete restriction.To the selection of water feeding method, reason below considering selects the method for suitable each step of reaction more suitable.
Among the present invention, hydrolysing step should be divided into a plurality of steps, and with second with to be adjusted to post-reaction period reaction pressure separately be at most the reaction pressure of front step of reaction, as long as second and be adjusted to the reaction pressure that is lower than the front step of reaction with the reaction pressure of at least one step of reaction in the post-reaction period.Can quicken this reaction, this is desirable.Thinking that this ascribes to by system that reaction pressure is reduced to does not take place effectively to remove carbonic acid gas from system in the ebullient scope.Will with second or the reaction pressure of subsequent stage be brought down below the reaction pressure of previous stage, should stage pressure be adjusted to the 20-90% of pressure previous stage.
Be lower than 20% of pressure previous stage if predetermined step of reaction pressure is adjusted to, reaction soln seethes with excitement probably.On the other hand, if surpass 90%, the effect that reduces pressure is very little, and speed of reaction is very low most probably.
Among the present invention, separately pressure should be at least the vapour pressure of this elementary reaction solution in each step of reaction of division.If reaction pressure is lower than this vapour pressure, reaction soln seethes with excitement probably, and water concentration can reduce in the liquid phase, is used for the heat exhaustion that heating heat is used as evaporation, and this is disadvantageous from the energy consumption angle.At this, the vapour pressure of reaction soln is formed the saturation vapour pressure that calculates by the temperature of step of reaction and the reaction soln that do not comprise carbon dioxide.
Hydrolysis pressure among the present invention generally is adjusted to 0.15MPa, and 0.2-3MPa is advisable.If reaction pressure is less than 0.1MPa, as mentioned above, the boiling of the solution that reacts probably.On the other hand, if reaction pressure greater than 5MPa, be guaranteed the ability to bear etc. of pressurizeing, equipment cost increases, and this is uneconomic.
In the inventive method, hydrolysis temperature should be adjusted in 50-200 ℃ of scope.If temperature of reaction is lower than 50 ℃, speed of reaction is too low, can not try out.On the other hand, if reacting surpassing under 200 ℃ the high temperature, alkylene glycol product of poor quality.Reach the overall equilbrium preferably of speed of reaction and quality product, temperature of reaction should be 80-180 ℃ of scope, and 100-180 ℃ better.
This hydrolysis reaction is thermo-negative reaction, keep temperature of reaction to carry out this reaction, must this system of heating.Heating means generally adopt the indirect heating method, as by chuck or coil pipe such as the thermal source of high pressure steam, or electrically heated method; Or snead process, the steam that vapour pressure is at least reaction pressure is blown into reactive system.Water concentration should adopt the indirect heating method of external heat source greater than under 30% (weight) situation.Even in the system of high moisture content, be blown into steam, most of water of supply probably by and be not absorbed, efficient is low.
In the step of reaction of water concentration greater than 30% (weight), employing is effective with the snead process that steam is blown into this system in the system, because heating and water supply can be carried out simultaneously.In the step of reaction of a plurality of divisions, be at least 60% step of reaction at the alkylene carbonate transformation efficiency, water concentration remains on specific scope in the system.At the alkylene carbonate transformation efficiency less than 60% step of reaction, alkylene carbonate concentration is higher in the system, and speed of reaction is subjected to the control of alkylene carbonate concentration, and the influence of water concentration is accessory, needn't emphasize water concentration is remained on specific scope, its effect is also less.
The reactor that uses for method for hydrolysis of the present invention has, as container class reactor, multistage tower reactor or reactive distillation column.The reactor of any kind all must effectively separate the carbon dioxide that hydrolysis produces from reactive system.
In the method for the present invention, hydrolysis stage quantity is preferably 2-8 stage.If number of stages surpasses 8, equipment cost becomes main, and the problem of existence is that reaction process control is tending towards complicated.The method that reactions steps is divided into a plurality of stages generally provides a plurality of reactors corresponding to number of stages.Yet, also can use a reactor, by it being divided into a plurality of parts as separating partition.
The alkylene glycol aqueous solution that adopts the ordinary method distillation to discharge from hydrolysis reactor, alkylene glycol that obtains dewatering and the solution that contains catalyzer, the solution that contains catalyzer is supplied with the step that is generated alkylene carbonate by alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide as catalyst solution.
Discharge the carbon dioxide that hydrolysis forms from hydrolysis reactor, but also be attended by water and alkylene glycol.Among the present invention, carbon dioxide cooling forms condensed fluid, or is washed and makes the solution that contains alkylene glycol.Through being used for the cooling or the washing of condensation, make that alkylene glycol mostly is 20ppm most in the gas.For reaching the purpose that reclaims alkylene glycol, the cooling or the washing that are used for condensation under mild conditions are economically feasible.Yet even the condensed fluid of acquisition or the liquid of washing are got back to this system, the effect that suppresses the catalyst activity variation is also very little.
Contain alkylene glycol solution by what cooling or washing gas obtained, be added to from generate any position of alkylene carbonate step by alkylene oxide and carbon dioxide, to obtain to contain catalyst solution to distillation alkylene glycol aqueous solution step.Preferably it is supplied with hydrolysis reactor, or supply with Distallation systm, contain catalyst solution in the Distallation systm and obtain by aqueous glycol solution.The variation that can suppress by this way, the carbonation reaction catalyst activity that will recycle.Promptly from the hydrolysis reactor expellant gas, contain the component that suppresses the catalyst activity variation, this components dissolved is by cooling or wash in the solution that this gas obtains and recyclable, finally be circulated to the zone that generates ethylene carbonate by oxyethane and carbonic acid gas, think the variation that can suppress catalyst activity like this.Still do not know that what material is this component be.Yet, from the hydrolysis zone expellant gas, containing halogen owing to catalyzer, these halogens change liquid under above-mentioned cooling or wash conditions, therefore, think to the effect of small part inhibition catalyst activity variation owing to these halogens.
Another kind of method as the preparation alkylene glycol has a known method, in this method, and alkylene oxide and the reaction of water in the presence of carbonic acid gas.Yet this reaction relates to alkylene carbonate as intermediate product, thinks that this reaction is one embodiment of the invention, by this reaction method, obtains the alkylene glycol stage water-content is adjusted in 15-30% (weight) scope finishing reaction.And, be that the hydrolysis of remaining alkylene carbonate is effectively carried out to effect of the present invention.
The transformation efficiency of alkylene carbonate is the transformation efficiency that is converted into the alkylene carbonate of alkylene carbonate amount calculating according to whole alkylene oxides in this case.
To alkylene carbonate, be preferably the alkylene carbonate of the alkylidene group of 2-30 carbon atom as raw material in the inventive method.Wherein, preferred industrial important ethylene carbonate or Texacar PC.When the present invention was applied to have ethylene carbonate with water component distillation characteristic, its effect was good especially.
And alkylene carbonate can have the alkyl of one or more 1-12 of containing carbon atom as the substituting group on the alkylidene group.
It is about 100% that the method according to this invention, the final transformation efficiency of alkylene carbonate can reach, and especially at latter stage, the transformation efficiency of alkylene carbonate can reach about 100%.
That is, the method according to this invention is carried out the alkylene carbonate hydrolysis, can be in less volume reactor, or, can prepare alkylene glycol effectively with than short residence time(SRT).
And, even reuse, still can keep the carbonation reaction activity of such catalysts by circulation.
