Background
Hexamethylenediamine is a key raw material in the nylon industry, is usually used for synthesizing nylon 66 and nylon 610, and then is prepared into products such as nylon resin, nylon fiber, engineering plastics and the like. The industrial production method of the hexamethylene diamine is mainly a adiponitrile catalytic hydrogenation method, and the method produces impurity diaminocyclohexane which has large influence on the quality of nylon products while producing the hexamethylene diamine, and is difficult to separate. At present, with the increasing expansion of caprolactam production capacity and the decreasing price, the caprolactam method is expected to be popularized industrially. The caprolactam method takes caprolactam as a raw material to prepare 6-aminocapronitrile through catalytic ammoniation and dehydration, and the 6-aminocapronitrile is further subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to obtain the hexamethylene diamine.
In the prior art, patent CN110423201A provides a method for synthesizing hexamethylenediamine by using caprolactam as a raw material, which comprises the steps of mixing caprolactam, alkali and water, heating and refluxing to obtain 6-aminocaproate, further introducing an amino protection group to protect a terminal amino group, then adding acid to neutralize to generate aminocaproic acid with the amino protection group, drying, adding an amide dehydration catalyst, heating and reacting in the presence of an ammonia source to convert a carboxylic acid group into a cyano group to obtain a product nitrile, extracting and purifying the product nitrile to generate corresponding amine through catalysis, and then removing the protection group to obtain the hexamethylenediamine.
Patent CN 112079725A describes a method for producing hexamethylenediamine, in which ammonia gas, hydrogen gas and caprolactam are mixed and vaporized to obtain a mixed gas; adding a catalyst into the obtained mixed gas to perform a catalytic ammoniation reaction and a catalytic hydrogenation reaction; and then, condensing and separating the materials obtained by the reaction to obtain reaction liquid, and distilling the obtained reaction liquid to obtain the product of hexamethylene diamine. The method integrates the ammonification and the hydrogenation of the caprolactam, but has the defects of high reaction temperature and more byproducts, and has no industrial application value.
In the prior art, the adiponitrile/6-aminocapronitrile hydrogenation production method for hexamethylene diamine can be used for continuous production, but has high reaction pressure and large catalyst consumption.
