Description

A kind of fixed bed transition method of natural VE
Affiliated technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of mixing vitamin E with different content is raw material, through fixed bed transition reaction, with the d-β in the raw material-, d-γ-, the d-delta-tocopherol is converted into the method for d-alpha-tocopherol, belongs to technical field of chemical engineering.
Background technology
Natural VE is a kind of mixture, four kinds of vitamin-E homologues of mainly being derived by tocol (Tocol) and coming are formed, comprising: and the d-alpha-tocopherol (d-α-tocopherol), d-β-vitamin-E (d-β-tocopherol), d-γ-vitamin-E (d-γ-tocopherol) and d-delta-tocopherol (d-δ-tocopherol).They all have saturated C 16Side chain, only on phenyl ring the position of methyl with quantitatively exist difference.
Figure A20041005324100031
Alpha-tocopherol β-vitamin-E
γ-vitamin-E delta-tocopherol
The biologic activity of various natural VE homologues exists very big-difference: d-alpha-tocopherol (activity is 100)>d-β-vitamin-E (activity is 10~50)>d-γ-vitamin-E (activity is 10)>d-delta-tocopherol (activity is 1).The function that the type of natural VE contained vitamin E and content have determined it, the high more then biological activity of d-alpha-tocopherol content is high more in the natural VE.
By reaction transition, it is the key that improves its biologic activity that the d-β-vitamin-E in the natural VE, d-γ-vitamin-E and d-delta-tocopherol are converted into the d-alpha-tocopherol.The method of vitamin-E reaction transition has a variety of, mainly comprises halomethylation method, formylation reduction method, amine-methylated method, methylolation method and permethylated method.In the middle of five kinds of methods, though the methylolation method need be reacted under high temperature, condition of high voltage, d-alpha-tocopherol yield is the highest, is a kind of method that makes the transition efficiently, is widely used.
So-called methylolation method is in the presence of protonic acid, non-d-alpha-tocopherol and formaldehyde reaction generate the methylol compound of non-d-alpha-tocopherol, under the hydrogenation catalyst effect, combine then methylol is reduced to methyl, thereby change into the d-alpha-tocopherol with hydrogen.With d-γ-vitamin-E is example, and the primitive reaction formula of methylolation method is:
Reaction transition of traditional methylolation is generally carried out in high temperature, highly compressed tank reactor, though technical maturity, the ubiquity reaction times is longer, side reaction complexity, product and hydrogenation catalyst separation difficulty, problem such as technological process is discontinuous.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of fixed bed transition method of vitamin-E, use fixed-bed reactor to carry out methylolation reaction transition, reaction can be carried out continuously, operates simple than tank reactor; Material and hydrogenation catalyst contact gear ratio tank reactor are abundant, can improve utilization ratio, the shortening reaction times of catalyzer; The separation problem that does not have product and catalyzer, catalyzer can life-time service.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is: with the natural mixing vitamin E of total content of vitamin E 50~100% raw material as reaction transition, react continuously in fixed-bed reactor, the process of fixed bed reaction transition is as follows:
1) be vitamin-E with natural mixing vitamin E, methylolation agent, acid catalyst and methyl alcohol according to mass volume ratio: methyl alcohol=1: 40~1: 10, methylolation agent: methyl alcohol=1: 40~1: 10, acid catalyst: methyl alcohol=1: 400~add in stirring tank at 1: 80, temperature is normal temperature~70 ℃, with the air in the nitrogen replacement stirring tank, use hydrogen exchange nitrogen again, and, mix with pressurized with hydrogen to 3.0~8.0MPa;
2) hydrogenation catalyst is seated in the fixed-bed reactor, the temperature of control fixed-bed reactor is 160~230 ℃, and pressure is 3.0~8.0MPa;
3) with 1) mixed reaction mass feeds the reaction that makes the transition in the fixed-bed reactor continuously in the step, and the residence time of material in fixed bed is controlled at 1~8h;
4) effluent liquid of collection fixed-bed reactor, steaming desolventizes normal hexane and obtains natural vitamin E product behind n-hexane extraction, washing, anhydrous sodium sulfate drying, wherein the d-alpha-tocopherol accounts for more than 97% of total vitamin-E, and d-alpha-tocopherol yield is higher than 90%.
Described methylolation agent is a formalin, formaldehyde content 37~40%.
Described acid catalyst is Phenylsulfonic acid, tosic acid, boric acid, acetate.
Described hydrogenation catalyst is the particulate state palladium-carbon catalyst.
Fixed bed makes the transition to be reflected under high temperature, the condition of high voltage and carries out.The temperature of fixed bed can be controlled with thermal oil or electrically heated.Before reaction transition, also must hunt leak to reaction system, guarantee that device has good stopping property.
Filling hydrogenation catalyst in the fixed-bed reactor.The filling situation has a significant impact the effect of transition reaction, must guarantee catalyzer in fixed bed, load closely, even.Concrete filling method is: the fixed bed bottom is a small amount of quartz sand of filling earlier, begin to add catalyzer then, the limit adds the catalyzer limit and knocks fixed bed, guarantee that filling evenly, filling finishes back nitrogen compacting, the gap is used catalyst make-up again, and till not having the space to produce substantially behind the logical nitrogen, a small amount of quartz sand at last recharges at the top.The purpose of filling quartz sand is to prevent that catalyzer from being taken out of.
Will note controlled temperature and pressure in the reaction process transition, and it is constant that feed rate keeps, and guarantees the sufficiently long contact reacts time.Because hydrogenation catalyst is seated in the fixed bed, do not mix with product solution after transition, can omit the Separation and Recovery process of catalyzer.
The useful effect that the present invention has is:
Natural mixing vitamin E with different content is a raw material, through fixed bed transition reaction, with the d-β in the raw material-, d-γ-, the d-delta-tocopherol is converted into the d-alpha-tocopherol, and the d-alpha-tocopherol accounts for more than 97% of total vitamin-E in the product, and d-alpha-tocopherol yield is higher than 90%.This method hydrogenation catalyst can use for a long time continuously, has omitted the Separation and Recovery process of catalyzer, and it is simple to have a technical process, but the advantage of operate continuously.
