Description

New process for preparing long-chain alkylbenzene from long-chain olefin and benzene

The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum processing, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a petroleum refining agent from AlCl₃The solid-carried catalyst is prepared by using long-chain olefin and benzene as raw materials and through suspension bed or fixed bed liquid-solid reaction.

Background artdodecylbenzene is the main raw material for the production of anionic detergents and Linear Alkylbenzenes (LAB) can be used to produce linear alkylbenzenesulfonic acid (LAS). LAB consisting essentially of benzene and C_10-14Olefins are produced by alkylation in the liquid phase, using HF catalytic processes (developed by UOP) and AlCl₃Law (by continuous petroleum)Company development), these catalysts severely corrode equipment and cause environmental pollution during the production process, and the products are not easily separated from the catalysts.

Solid phosphoric acid is used as catalyst, although it is more corrosive and environmental pollution-free than HF and AlCl₃The molecular sieve catalyst developed successfully in recent years has mordenite, ZSM, Y, β and MCM series zeolite, and has good activity, no pollution, alkylation function and alkyl conversion function of polyalkylbenzene, but general molecular sieve is easy to deactivate and has poor stability for the alkylation reaction of benzene and straight chain olefin.

HY, β zeolite catalyst has pore passage of only 0.76nm, and the coke or polyalkylbenzene produced in the reaction can block the pore passage of the carrier easily, so that the reaction material is difficult to enter the catalyst and the product cannot diffuse out to make the active site of the catalyst lose catalytic capacity (Chen et al, petrochemical 1996, 25: 164 (167): 164 and 167); Zhu Hai et al, Nanjing university 2002, 24 (2): 20-23).

Wang Er Qiang et al reviewed the research progress of the alkylation reaction technology of benzene and long-chain olefins (modern chemical engineering, 2002, 22 (2): 11-14). The reported catalysts are silicon aluminium fluoride, molecular sieve, heteropoly acid and ionic liquid, etc., and introduces the digital process which adopts solid acid and is developed by cooperation of UOP and Petresa company, and the total operation cost is called to be lower than that of the HF process.

CN1340491 relates to an alkylation reaction method of benzene and olefin, which comprises the step of reacting benzene with C₂-C₁₅Single-chain olefins are reacted in the presence of a solid acid catalyst under alkylation conditions, characterised in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of an alkyl groupThe conversion reaction raw material and/or olefin contains 10-3000ppm organic or inorganic compound containing strong electronegative element or its total weight of benzene and olefinAnd (3) mixing.

WO9626787 relates to a catalyst for the production of alkylbenzenes. Active component AlX₃Loaded on clay or SiO₂-Al₂O₃Or a metal oxide, X is Cl, Br or I. WO9111417 with>C₈Olefin is used as raw material, the mol ratio of benzene to olefin is less than 5, amorphous and porous Lewis acid inorganic oxide catalyst is used, and the carrier is one or the composite of more than two of oxides of aluminum, silicon, germanium, titanium and zirconium. The alkylation reaction conditions are as follows: the reaction temperature is-40-250 ℃, the pressure is 20-25000KPa, and the space velocity is 0.01-500/h.

For environmental safety, the concept of "green chemistry" was proposed. MCM-41 of varying porosity has been prepared; impregnating AlCl₃Or ZnCl₂To obtain the solid Lewis acid catalyst for benzene alkylation with high selectivity.

Two catalysts for benzene alkylation were published by Clark James H et al, university of York, Australia (J.chem.Researer., Synopses (1997), (11), 430-. Mesoporous HMS loaded with AlCl₃Porous carrier material carrying AlCl₃The catalyst of (1).
