Catalytic air oxidation fragrance methylbenzene prepares the method for aromatic carboxylic acid
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fragrant methylbenzene by the method for air or the corresponding aromatic carboxylic acid of carbonated air direct oxidation becoming.
Background technology
Aromatic carboxylic acid is important industrial raw material.The industrial oxidation of fragrance methylbenzene needs high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and under these conditions, the poor stability of aromatic carboxylic acid, decarboxylation easily, reaction conversion ratio and selectivity are undesirable in the production process.The industrial production of aromatic carboxylic acid is general at present earlier is transformed into the corresponding carboxylic acid ester with fragrant methylbenzene, and then is hydrolyzed into carboxylic acid.
The technology of above-mentioned fragrant methylbenzene oxidation had both existed reaction conversion ratio and the low problem of selectivity of product, also had the serious environmental pollution problem simultaneously.The science and technology circle is being devoted to fragrant methylbenzene is become corresponding aromatic carboxylic acid by the air direct oxidation novel process research always.US 5,763,648 disclose in acetate solvate and to use Cobaltous diacetate or manganese and Potassium Bromide to make catalyzer, directly become method of terephthalic acid with the atmospheric oxidation p-Xylol, US 6,175,038 discloses in acetic acid-water mixed solvent and to use composite metal salt and Potassium Bromide to make catalyzer, become method of terephthalic acid by the oxygen-rich air oxidation of p-xylene, US 6,194,607 disclose in acetate solvate and to use metal-salt and basic metal or alkaline-earth metal to make compound catalyzer, become method of terephthalic acid by carbonic acid gas with Air mixing gas oxidation of p-xylene.But above-mentioned patent all exists metal-salt fouling in the commercial run and productive rate is lower, selectivity is not high problem.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of productive rate height, selectivity height, catalyst consumption is little, cost is low, catalytic efficiency height, a kind of method that is prepared aromatic carboxylic acid by fragrant methylbenzene that speed of response is accelerated, temperature of reaction is lower.

The carrier that constitutes the supported metalloporphyrin catalyzer with above-mentioned metalloporphyrin has: silica gel, molecular sieve, aluminum oxide, zeolite, sepiolite, porous ceramics, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene etc.
Described transition metal salt or oxide compound as co-catalyst has: Cu, Zn, Fe, Co, Mn, Cr, the salt of metals such as Ni or oxide compound.These metal-salts or oxide compound can obviously improve the catalytic performance of metalloporphyrin to air or carbonated oxidation fragrance methylbenzene.
Employed fragrant series inlet methyl benzene compounds can be toluene, o-Xylol, m-xylene, p-Xylol, hemimellitol, sym-trimethylbenzene, unsym-trimethyl benzene among the present invention.Also can be the substituted aroma methylbenzene, substituting group be nitro, halogen, hydroxyl, the alkoxyl group that is positioned at the phenyl ring different positions.Can also be the xylene mixture or the trimethylbenzene mixture of different ratios.
The composite catalyst that is made of metalloporphyrin or they and transition metal or oxide compound shows through on probation, and the reaction that atmospheric oxidation fragrance series inlet methyl benzene compounds or their mixture is generated corresponding carboxylic acid has good catalytic performance.With the variation of catalysis of metalloporphyrin agent composition and temperature of reaction, the transformation efficiency of fragrant methylbenzene is between 50-90%, and the selectivity of corresponding carboxylic acid is between 50-95%.The consumption of catalyst system therefor is little, catalytic efficiency is high, and speed of response quickening, temperature of reaction and reaction pressure are lower, product purity is high, separate easily.
