Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for purifying tetrafluoropropanol, in particular to a method for removing residual initiator and active impurities in a telomeric alcohol crude product obtained by carrying out batch telomerization reaction on tetrafluoroethylene and methanol.
Background
Tetrafluoropropanol has the advantages of non-flammability, non-toxicity, non-corrosiveness and excellent lubricity, is a novel fluorine-containing solvent, and is widely used as a pigment solvent for CD-R/DVD-R due to the advantages of good solubility, high gasification speed, low toxicity and the like; it is also widely used in medicines, pesticides, dyes, fine chemical intermediates, photographic color compensating agents, textile finishing agents, processing aids for fluorine-containing resins and perfluororubbers, and cleaning agents for electronic products. The cleaning agent has excellent cleaning performance, has important application in microelectronics and optoelectronics, has no damage to the atmosphere, and is a substitute of an excellent freon cleaning agent.
US4346250 provides a process for the preparation of tetrafluoropropanol: firstly adding methanol and an initiator into a reaction system, and then supplementing a tetrafluoroethylene monomer to keep the total pressure of the system at a preset value to carry out telomerization. The reaction proceeds as follows:
after the reaction is finished, the obtained crude product is a mixture of telomer alcohols with different polymerization degrees, wherein the telomer alcohol with n being 1 is the tetrafluoropropanol. The product obtained by this process is mostly telomer alcohols having n.ltoreq.4, but still contains a certain amount of telomer alcohols having n.gtoreq.3, in some cases the content of these undesired telomer alcohols being up to 30%.
Wherein the initiator used is a polymerization initiator, is a radical type initiator, and comprises: azo compounds, such as azobisisobutyronitrile; or organic peroxides, such as diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, di-tert-butyl peroxide. Di-tert-butyl peroxide is preferred; or inorganic persulfates such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate.
The pH value of the reaction system is gradually reduced along with the reaction; meanwhile, the reaction speed is reduced along with the reduction of the pH value. Therefore, in order to rapidly carry out the telomerization reaction with a high yield, an acid absorbent is generally added to the reaction system to eliminate acidic substances which are continuously generated and accumulated as the reaction proceeds.
In the case of acid absorbents, preferred acid scavengers include: (1) oxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: na (Na)2O、K2O, MgO, CaO, BaO; (2) hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: NaOH, KOH, Mg (OH)2、Ca(OH)2、Ba(OH)2(ii) a (3) Carbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: na (Na)2CO3、K2CO3、MgCO3、CaCO3、BaCO3(ii) a (4) Alkoxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: CH (CH)3OLi、CH3ONa、CH3OK、C2H5OLi、C2H5ONa、(C2H5O)2Mg; (5) salts of weak organic acids of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: CH (CH)3COONa、CH3COOK、(CH3COO)2Mg, ZnO, Zn (OH)2、NH3·H2O、(NH4)2CO3And the like. Among them, the effect of the inorganic oxide is most preferable.
In addition, telomerization is carried out as described above, and undecomposed initiator remains in the product. The residual amount of the initiator varies depending on the kind and amount thereof, and is generally 0.2% to 2.0%. The residual initiator is decomposed in the subsequent refining process to generate fluorine-containing ether substances, such as tetrafluoropropyl tert-butyl ether, octafluoropentyl tert-butyl ether and the like, and aldehyde unsaturated impurities, such as formaldehyde, tetrafluoropropionaldehyde, trifluoropropionaldehyde, octafluoropentanal and the like, which can form an azeotrope or an azeotrope-like substance with the tetrafluoropropanol and are difficult to remove by rectification separation, thereby affecting the purity of the tetrafluoropropanol.
In order to increase the purity of tetrafluoropropanol, the following purification process is described in european patent EP0967193a 2: after the tetrafluoropropanol telomerization reaction is finished, treating a reaction crude product by using alkali, and then rectifying; or directly carrying out co-distillation and rectification after adding alkali and mixing. However, the crude reaction product contains a certain concentration of residual initiator, which is decomposed by addition of alkali, and the generated radicals are subjected to various side reactions, thereby generating fluorine-containing ether substances and aldehyde unsaturated impurities, which are difficult to separate and remove. Although the method can still remove unsaturated aldehyde impurities, the method cannot separate fluorine-containing ether substances well, and the purity of the obtained tetrafluoropropanol is more than 99 percent.
Meanwhile, European patent EP0968989A2 has focused on the influence of residual initiator on rectification, and discusses methods for removing residual initiator, such as pyrolysis, acid catalyst decomposition, reducing agent decomposition, ultraviolet decomposition and alkali decomposition. Although the above-mentioned ether impurities can be removed by the above-mentioned method, it is difficult to remove unsaturated aldehyde impurities such as formaldehyde, tetrafluoropropanal, trifluoropropionaldehyde, octafluoropentanal, etc., and therefore, the tetrafluoropropanol obtained by rectification has a low content and a high purity of 99% or more is difficult to achieve.
In the above-described methods of the prior art, it is difficult to completely remove impurities in tetrafluoropropanol, and the purity of tetrafluoropropanol cannot be raised to a high level of 99.9% or more. When such low-purity tetrafluoropropanol is used to produce a CD-R/DVD-R disc for recording electronic information, the quality of the disc is degraded and degraded. In the field of drug synthesis, such tetrafluoropropanol containing ether and aldehyde impurities cannot be used for producing pharmaceutical intermediates.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method, which can remove residual initiator, unsaturated aldehydes and ether impurities simultaneously in a crude telomer alcohol product generated by the reaction of tetrafluoroethylene and methanol, and can obtain high-purity tetrafluoropropanol by simply refining and purifying a mixture.
The invention is realized bythe following steps:
the invention provides a method for purifying tetrafluoropropanol, which comprises the steps of carrying out telomerization reaction on tetrafluoroethylene and methanol under the premise of the existence of an initiator and an acid-absorbing agent to generate a telomer alcohol crude product, raising the reaction temperature in a reaction kettle to 50-180 ℃, continuously introducing a tetrafluoroethylene monomer into the reaction kettle, preserving heat for 0.5-5 hours, then adding a stabilizer to form a neutral or weakly alkaline mixture, carrying out normal-pressure continuous rectification on the mixture, firstly recovering residual methanol, then removing middle distillate, and finally obtaining the tetrafluoropropanol with the purity of more than 99.9%.
The invention achieves the aim of removing residual initiator in a crude product by supplementing tetrafluoroethylene monomer into a reaction system. Wherein, the total amount (weight) of the tetrafluoroethylene monomer is 1/50-1/100 of the consumption (weight) of the tetrafluoroethylene in the reaction; the introduction of the tetrafluoroethylene can be carried out continuously or discontinuously;
after the incubation, the residual initiator content in the crude product was greatly reduced. However, it still contains very small amounts of reactive unsaturated impurities, mainly aldehydes, ethers, which are produced by excessive oxidation of the initiator. The presence of these active impurities is very disadvantageous for purification of tetrafluoropropanol, and deteriorates the stability of the purification process, making it difficult to obtain tetrafluoropropanol of higher purity. After a lot of experiments, the inventor finds that according to the different properties of the unsaturated impurities, the corresponding stabilizing agents are added into the crude product to remove the aldehyde and ether impurities,so that the telomeric crude product is easy to refine and purify to high purity, and the main function of the stabilizing agents is to oxidize or reduce the active impurities, so that the active impurities are converted into corresponding carboxylic acids or alcohols, and are convenient to rectify and remove. Wherein, the stabilizer can be added into the kettle while the stabilizer is hot, or added when the reaction kettle is cooled to room temperature;
the amount of stabilizer added is subject to certain requirements, and is generally about 1% to 15% by weight, preferably 5% to 10% by weight, of the amount of initiator used in the reaction;
the stabilizer may be a reducing substance selected from at least one of transition metal salts such as Fe (II) salt, Cr (II) salt, Cu (II) salt and Cu (I) salt, thiosulfate, and hydrazine substances such as hydrazine, phenylhydrazine and ethylhydrazine in organic substances, and these reducing agents may be used alone or in combination;
the stabilizer may be an oxidizing substance selected from hydrogen peroxide, inorganic peroxides, hypochlorite or Cl2At least one of these oxidizing agents, which may be used alone or in combination;
these oxidizing agents can also be mixed with alkaline substances such as: hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and weakly alkaline substances such as ammonia, ammonium phosphate and ammonium hydrogen phosphate are added into the reaction kettle, and the alkaline substances can be used with the oxidant independently or after being mixed, and then used with the oxidant. The amount of the basic substance is not critical, and it is preferable that the mixture is neutral or weakly alkaline.
Wherein the middle distillate is unsaturated aldehydes and ethers.
According to the method, the residual initiator in the reaction crude product can be fully decomposed; the aldehyde and ether impurities in the crude product can be decomposed, oxidized and reduced to be converted into corresponding carboxylic acids and alcohols, and the boiling points of the carboxylic acids and the alcohols are far different from the boiling point of the tetrafluoropropanol and can be easily removed by a rectification method.
