Production process ofbutenal
Technical Field
The invention relates to a crotonaldehyde production process, in particular to an improved process capable of reducing reaction byproducts and wastewater discharge.
Background
Crotonaldehyde (2-Butenal), commonly known as Crotonaldehyde, is used industrially mainly for the production of sorbic acid, butyraldehyde, butanol, 2-ethylhexanol, crotonic acid, maleic anhydride and other chemicals, and is an important chemical raw material.
The aldol condensation reaction of acetaldehyde under the action of an alkaline catalyst is utilized to generate 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde, and the 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde is heated and dehydrated in an acidic solution to generate butenal, which is known and is also a synthetic route which is currently industrialized, and the chemical reaction process can be represented by the following reaction formula:
the pure butenal is colorless or light yellow liquid, the industrial grade butenal contains over 95% of trans-isomer, and the others are cis-isomer. In the traditional crotonaldehyde production process, inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide or anion exchange resin is mainly used as a catalyst, and aldol condensation reaction is violent and is difficult to control; meanwhile, the byproducts are more, so that the acetaldehyde conversion rate is low; and the high polymer in the by-product is easy to block the tubular heater, so the requirement on equipment is high, and the operation control is complicated. In addition, due to the limitation of equipment structure and process conditions, the energy consumption is high, and the amount of the generated three wastes is also large.
In the current research on the crotonaldehyde production process, the main emphasis is on the improvement of production process parameters and equipment structures. For example, CN1394840A discloses an improved crotonaldehyde production process, which mainly controls acetaldehyde to generate 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde through aldol condensation in a bubble-cap condensation tower, and makes the dehydration of 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde and the initial distillation of unreacted acetaldehyde take place in the dehydration tower at the same time, so as to simplify the structure and shorten the operation process, and the condensation reaction is carried out at 45 ± 3 ℃ and 0.05MPa, the operation is easier to control, and the conversion rate of acetaldehyde can be increased to 65% by using the method. However, in the production process of the butenal, strong alkali sodium hydroxide is still used as a catalyst, in order to avoid severe reaction and increase of byproducts, and in order to reduce the alkaline influence of the sodium hydroxide on a condensation system, water needs to be supplemented simultaneously in the process, and the side reaction is stopped by quickly neutralizing with acetic acid, so that the conversion rate of acetaldehyde in the production is improved to a certain extent, but the cost is that more waste water is generated, and the treatment cost is increased.
Acetaldehyde is used as a main raw material of a condensation reaction, an oxidation product of ethylene is mostly used in production, another factor influencing the production cost of crotonaldehyde is the thickening process of acetaldehyde after oxidation, the existing process is to absorb the acetaldehyde in the oxidation product at normal pressure, the concentration of the obtained acetaldehyde is about8-10%, and the energy consumption of a system is very high while a large amount of wastewater is discharged by rectifying low-concentration acetaldehyde.
The acetaldehyde is prepared by oxidizing ethylene, because ethylene is a downstream product of petroleum, the ethylene is very economical in the period of relatively rich petroleum resources and low price, but with the increasing shortage of global petroleum resources and the great increase of petroleum price, the cost for producing the acetaldehyde by the ethylene is also greatly increased due to the rising of the ethylene price. The utilization of other cheap raw materials, such as ethanol, and the development of a more reasonable and efficient production process have very significant significance in many aspects.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide an improved process for producing butenal, which is easy to control reaction conditions in industrial production, and can improve the conversion rate of acetaldehyde and reduce the amount of three wastes.
The invention also provides an optimized process for industrially producing high-purity crotonaldehyde by using ethanol as a raw material.
In order to achieve the purpose, the production process of the crotonaldehyde provided by the invention comprises the steps of condensing acetaldehyde under the catalysis of organic amine to generate 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde, and dehydrating the obtained 2-hydroxybutyraldehyde under an acidic condition to generate the crotonaldehyde.
As described above, the traditional process realizes the aldol condensation reaction under the catalysis of strong base, the invention adopts organic amine to replace the strong base as the catalyst of the aldol condensation, so thatthe condensation reaction process becomes mild and easy to control, and byproducts, particularly high polymers, in the reaction are few, thereby greatly solving the problem of blocking the tubular heater. On the other hand, since the aqueous solution of the organic amine is weak in alkalinity, a large amount of water is not required for dilution in the condensation reaction, thereby reducing the amount of wastewater generated in the condensation reaction. By adopting the process, the yield of the final product, namely the butenal, is also improved by about 3 percent, the conversion rate of the acetaldehyde is actually improved, and the aim of reducing the production cost is fulfilled.
