The production method of the NO gas that a kind of synthesis of oxalate is used
Technical field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry and environmental protection, it relates to the product with ammonia oxidation---and oxynitride is used as the novel method of the NO source of the gas that synthesis of oxalate uses.
Background technology
As everyone knows, the CO synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis is contemporary C
1The most rising great novel process, the new technology of chemical research exploitation, its research and development success, can change the existing synthesis material route and the production process of synthesis of oxalate and important industrial chemicals such as oxalic acid, ethylene glycol, particularly can realize the strategic objective of " replacing oil ethene, indirect synthesizing glycol of two steps " with coal or Sweet natural gas, have great strategic importance, and can obtain good economic and social benefit.
In " continuous process for synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis " reaction (ZL90101447.8), (see formula (1)), owing to after having introduced the catalytic promoter nitrous acid ester, the growing amount of reaction product is significantly improved.But building-up reactions is except that generating principal product---the barkite, in reaction end gas, can produce a large amount of NO gas simultaneously.For NO gas can constantly be reclaimed and recycle, generally all use oxygen (O
2) and alcohols and NO gas carry out oxidative esterification reaction (seeing formula (2)), the regeneration nitrous acid ester reclaims, recycle.But, when NO gas and oxygen and alcohols react, except generating the recycle and reuse of principal product nitrous acid ester, also often having side reaction formula (4), (5), (6) and take place, and have the rare nitric acid of by product to generate, this must consume many NO gases.Can stablize, for a long time, carry out continuously for the catalyzed reaction that makes synthesis of oxalate, just must constantly in reactive system, replenish NO gas.
At present, generally all be to use NaNO in the world
2With alcohols at H
2SO
4Effect is reacted the method that generates nitrous acid ester down, is used as replenishing of NO source of the gas.But this method can produce a large amount of by product Na
2SO
4, and cost is higher, only is adapted at using in a spot of research work in laboratory, can't satisfy the needs of large-scale industrial production.
With the technology of air ammonia oxidation generation oxynitride, be the very sophisticated industrial technology of preparation nitric acid, also be industrial current techique commonly used.But, up to the present, do not see oxynitride that useful ammonia oxidation takes place as yet and come directly report as the NO source of the gas of synthesis of oxalate, do not see that the nitrogen oxide that has in the direct use nitric acid industry tail gas is used as the report of the NO source of the gas of synthesis of oxalate yet.
Summary of the invention
The oxynitride that the objective of the invention is to directly take place with ammonia oxidation is used as the NO gas that the CO synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis is used, and perhaps is used as the NO gas that the CO synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis is used with the oxynitride in the nitric acid industry tail gas.
The oxynitride N that ammonia and air reaction generate
XO
Y(X=1,2; Y=1,2,3,4,5) concentration is 1~30
v%; Oxynitride N in the nitric acid industry tail gas
XO
Y(X=1,2; Y=1,2,3,4,5) concentration is 0.1~10
v%.The used ammonia of ammonia oxidation can be liquid ammonia or gaseous ammonia, and the concentration of ammonia is 1~30
v%.After the suitable heat exchange of these oxynitride processes, the alcohols reaction that directly enters esterification reaction tower and send into, generate nitrous acid ester, unreacted oxynitride enters oxidative esterification reaction tower and oxygen of sending into and alcohol reaction, continues to generate nitrous acid ester and a small amount of nitric acid.During directly with the oxynitride in the nitric acid industry tail gas, can save the step of ammonia oxidation and heat exchange, directly absorb and subsequent each step with alcohols.Used oxygen can be airborne oxygen or liquid oxygen or gaseous oxygen, and the concentration of oxygen is 1~30
v%.Used alcohols can be methyl alcohol or ethanol or propyl alcohol or butanols, and the concentration of alcohol is 50~100wt%.
Do like this, can reduce production costs greatly, consumption saves material.But the problem that also exists many needs to solve simultaneously.Because carry out oxidative ammonolysis with air, in the reaction product except having 5~30
vOutside the oxynitride about %, all the other are 95~70 years old
vThe component of % is N
2, Ar H
2Nonreactive gass such as O, and the concentration of the oxynitride in the nitric acid industry tail gas is lower, generally only has 0.1~10
vAbout %, other are 99.9~90 years old
v% is N
2, Ar H
2Nonreactive gass such as O.If allow these nonreactive gass enter the synthesis of oxalate reactive system in a large number, very unfavorable to the reaction of catalysis synthesis of oxalate, even reaction can't be carried out.Have only these nonreactive gass are discharged reactive system, could guarantee that successful reaction carries out.And work as these N
2, Ar H
2When nonreactive gass such as O are discharged reactive system, can take reactive material useful in the synthesis reaction system such as NO, RONO and alcohols simultaneously out of, both waste starting material, pollute the environment again.Therefore, must NO, RONO and alcohols reclaims and the processing of decontamination environment.
We are that the method that adopts compression and condensation to combine is finished this work in CN1048098A.But do like that, the operational condition of requirement is relatively harsher.We absorb a large amount of nitrous acid ester with alcohols earlier now, and then with compression and the method that combines of condensation, a spot of alcohols and nitrous acid ester in the gas phase are condensed into liquid, used pressure is at 0.1~10Mpa, used condensing temperature is between-20 ℃~100 ℃, alcohols and nitrous acid ester and the non-gas that coagulates are separated, reclaim condensed fluid then and recycle, discharge the non-gas that coagulates.Do like this, both recyclable alcohols and nitrous acid ester can reach the purpose of eliminating the nitrogen oxides pollution environment again, make this technological process more rationally with perfect.
Advantage of the present invention is, both can provide a large amount of necessary NO gases for the CO continuous process for synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis, reduce production costs, can fully reclaim useful reactant in the non-gas with fixed attention of discharging again, reach the purpose that reduces alcohols consumption and eliminate the nitrogen oxides pollution environment.The present invention can be the CO continuous process for synthesis of oxalic ester by gaseous catalysis and uses industrial CO gas and industrial NO gas to create favorable conditions on a large scale, has good economic benefits and social benefit.
