In a word, the present invention discloses improving one's methods of a kind of aromatics family's carboxylic acid production, with the aliphatic carboxylic acid that contains 1-6 carbon atom is solvent, methylarenes adopts the gas that contains oxygen molecule to carry out oxidizing reaction in bromo-manganese-bromine catalyst system, and the oxynitride component that simultaneously one or more is had ad hoc structure is added in this catalyst system to optimize oxidising process.This method can be used in oxidation or the purifying methyl aromatic hydrocarbon comes in the various industrial application processes of production aromatic acid product, and carries out condition optimizing at different reaction process.
The present invention has found first and discloses to use and contained the catalyst activator of the oxynitride of N=O base, N-hydroxyl, N-acyloxy special groups as methylarenes liquid-phase oxidation MC type catalyst system.The particularly important is, compare with common MC type liquid-phase oxidation technology, the present invention has more characteristics: (a) can strengthen the reactive behavior of catalyst system, thereby the promote the oxidation process reaches the purpose of strengthening reaction; (b) can reduce the burning reaction of reaction system, thereby the selectivity that increases oxidising process reaches the purpose that reduces material consumption; (c) under identical temperature of reaction and pressure condition, add minor N-pyridine oxide, HAPI etc., can adopt lower bromine concentration just to obtain and the general identical reaction throughput of MC method, thereby reduce the corrodibility of brominated toxic gas discharging and reactive system; Or under identical temperature of reaction and pressure condition, add minor N-pyridine oxide, HAPI etc., can adopt lower total catalyst concentration just to obtain and the general identical reaction throughput of MC method, thereby reduce the waste of catalyzer; (d) under identical cobalt manganese bromine concentration condition, add minor N-pyridine oxide, HAPI etc., can adopt the reaction conditions (as lower temperature of reaction and pressure) of milder just obtain with the identical reaction throughput of MC method, thereby reduced the energy consumption and the material consumption of reaction process.
The invention is not restricted to these disclosed embodiments, the present invention will cover the scope described in the patent claims, and the various modification of claim scope and equivalence variation.
