Implement best mode of the present invention
Method of the present invention is wherein to use with the partially modified acid-type ion-exchange resin catalyzer of the amine compound of sulfur-bearing to come condensation reaction phenol and acetone to prepare the method for dihydroxyphenyl propane.Acid-type ion-exchange resin as the matrix of aforesaid modification acid-type ion-exchange resin is not had particular restriction, can use so far usually compound as bisphenol A catalyst.Especially, with regard to catalyst activity, for the sulfonic acid ion exchange resin of strong acid is suitable.
Above-mentioned sulfonic acid ion exchange resin there is not particular restriction, as long as it is to have sulfonic strong-acid ion exchange resin, can be for example sulfonated phenylethylene-divinyl benzene copolymer, sulfonation crosslinked styrene polymers, phenol-methane amide-sulfonate resin and phenyl aldehyde-sulfonate resin.
On the other hand, the amine compound of the sulfur-bearing that is used for partially modified acid-type ion-exchange resin is not as mentioned above had particular restriction, can use to be selected from usually any of the known compound that can be used for the modification acid-type ion-exchange resin suitably.The amine compound of above-mentioned sulfur-bearing comprises mercaptoalkylpyridin for example 3-mercapto-methyl pyridine, 3-(2-mercaptoethyl) pyridine and 4-(2-mercaptoethyl) pyridine, alkyl mercaptoamine is 2-mercaptoethylamine, 3-sulfydryl propylamine and 4-sulfydryl butylamine for example, thiazolidines is thiazolidine, 2 for example, 2-dimethylthiazole alkane, 2-methyl-2-phenyl thiazole alkane and 3-phenyl thiazole alkane and aminothiophenol be the 4-aminothiophenol for example.Wherein, preferred 2-mercaptoethylamine, 2,2-dimethylthiazole alkane and 4-(2-mercaptoethyl) pyridine.The amine compound of these sulfur-bearings can have for example adduct form of hydrochloric acid and quaternary ammonium salt of free state form or acid substance.
Method to the partially modified acid-type ion-exchange resin of the amine compound that uses these sulfur-bearings (it is aforesaid matrix) does not have particular restriction, can use common known method.
For example, at suitable solvent, preferred water-containing solvent for example makes the amine compound reaction of acid-type ion-exchange resin and sulfur-bearing in the water, obtaining required degree of modification (10 to 65%), thus can modified ion-exchange resin.Can carry out this reaction at normal temperature, if necessary, can carry out this reaction by heating.Make as the amino reaction in the sulfonic acid of ion-exchange group and the amine compound that is included in sulfur-bearing by this reaction, the group of sulfur-bearing is introduced in the part ion cation exchange groups, thus modified ion-exchange resin.Degree of modification is meant the sulfonic mole degree of modification with the amine compound modification acid-type ion-exchange resin of sulfur-bearing.
In the present invention, importantly will pack in the fixed-bed type reactor, begin to use wash phenol ion exchange resin before the reaction then with acid-type ion-exchange resin (only the being called ion exchange resin hereinafter) catalyzer of the amine compound modification of sulfur-bearing.
In the wash conditions of ion exchange resin, the scope of temperature is preferably 45 to 110 ℃, more preferably 55 to 90 ℃.If temperature is lower than 45 ℃, then phenol solidifies under certain conditions, if temperature surpasses 110 ℃, then ion exchange resin decomposes under certain conditions.
Liquid hourly space velocity degree (LHSV) is preferably 0.02 to 5 hour -1, more preferably 0.05 to 2 hour -1If it was less than 0.02 hour -1, spended time and efficient is relatively poor under certain conditions then.If it was above 5 hours -1, then need a large amount of phenol under certain conditions.
Wash as mentioned above be reduced to until the nitrogen component that phenol contained that is used for washing preferred 0.01 to 5ppm, more preferably 0.05 to 3ppm scope.If it is less than 0.01ppm, then washing the time and the phenol amount that need increases, so it is disadvantageous economically.If it surpasses 5ppm, the degradation of product under certain conditions then.
Among the condensation reaction of phenol of the present invention and acetone, can use the continuous fixed bed reaction or continuous system, wherein phenol and acetone are added in the reactor that the above-mentioned ion exchange resin of using wash phenol is housed and reaction continuously.In this case, reactor can be a post, two or more posts of perhaps can serial or parallel connection arranging.Is particularly advantageous according to industrial point two or more reactors that above-mentioned ion exchange resin is housed that are connected in series to adopt the fixed bed multistage continuous reaction system.
With the reaction conditions in this continuous fixed bed reaction or continuous system of explanation.
At first, selecting the acetone/phenol mol ratio usually is 1/30 to 1/3, preferred 1/20 to 1/5.If this mol ratio is less than 1/30, speed of response may be too slow, if it is greater than 1/3, the selectivity that produces more impurity and dihydroxyphenyl propane is easy to reduce.
In addition, the selective reaction temperature is 40 to 150 ℃ usually, preferred 55 to 100 ℃.If said temperature is lower than 40 ℃, speed of response is slower, and reaction liquid viscosity increases a lot in addition.Under certain situation, may cause solidifying.If it surpasses 150 ℃, the selectivity of become restive reaction and dihydroxyphenyl propane reduces.In addition, the ion exchange resin of catalyzer decomposes or variation under certain conditions.In addition, selecting the LHSV (liquid hourly space velocity degree) of raw mix usually is 0.2 to 30 hour -1, preferred 0.5 to 20 hour -1
In the methods of the invention, the reaction mixture of from reactor, discharging with the known method aftertreatment, and take out dihydroxyphenyl propane.An example of this aftertreatment will be described below.At first, before crystallization, concentrate.Particular restriction should not arranged to concentrating condition, under the pressure of 130 to 170 ℃ temperature and 13 to 53kPa, concentrate usually.If temperature is lower than 130 ℃, then need high vacuum, if it surpasses 170 ℃, then impurity increases or produces painted.The concentration of the dihydroxyphenyl propane in the concentration residue advantageously is 25 to 40wt%.If concentration is less than 25wt%, the rate of recovery of dihydroxyphenyl propane reduces, if it surpasses 40wt%, is difficult to shift slurry after the crystallization.
Usually employing utilizes the latent heat of vaporization under reduced pressure to carry out refrigerative vacuum cooling crystallization method and carry out the crystallization of dihydroxyphenyl propane and phenol adducts from concentration residue.In the vacuum cooling crystallization method, the water of 3 to 30 quality % joined in the above-mentioned concentration residue and usually carry out crystallization treatment in 40 to 70 ℃ temperature and 3 to 13kPa pressure.If the add-on of above-mentioned water is less than 3 quality %, the capacity that then reduces phlegm and internal heat is unsatisfactory, if it surpasses 20 quality %, then the solution loss of dihydroxyphenyl propane increases.Therefore, not preferred.In addition, if Tc is lower than 40 ℃, then the viscosity of crystallized liquid increases and may cause it to solidify, if it surpasses 70 ℃, then the solution loss of dihydroxyphenyl propane increases.Therefore, not preferred.
Then, separate crystalline dihydroxyphenyl propane like this and phenol adducts, carry out carrying out washing treatment with phenol then with known method.Then, the adducts through carrying out washing treatment is carried out separating treatment to be separated into dihydroxyphenyl propane and phenol.In this case, selecting temperature usually is 130 to 200 ℃, and preferred 150 to 180 ℃, on the other hand, usually selective pressure is 3 to 20kPa.
Basically remove residual phenol in the dihydroxyphenyl propane that obtains through separating treatment by stripping fully, thereby obtain high-quality dihydroxyphenyl propane.
Next, reference example is illustrated in greater detail the present invention, but the present invention never is limited to these embodiment.
