Description

(54) OXYDEHYDROGENATION PROCESS FOR ALKYLAROMATICS (71) We, THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY, a corporation organised under the laws of the State of Ohio, United States of America of Midland Building, Cleveland, Ohio 44115, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to an improved process for the catalytic dehydrogenation of alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds to the corresponding alkenyl-substituted aromatics in the presence of oxygen.
Current commercial dehydrogenation practices as for example in the conversion of ethylbenzene to styrene, suffer from the disadvantages of low conversions, while higher conversion oxydehydrogenations suffer from poor selectivities. Selectivity is especially important in this particular reaction since the starting materials for producing styrene makes up over 80 percent of its manufacturing costs. Thus there is a continuing search for catalytic materials that are more efficient in minimizing side reactions and improving conversion rates.
A number of catalysts and catalytic systems have been disclosed utilizing various phosphates and pyrophosphates for the conversion of alkylaromatics to derivatives having side-chain unsaturation. For example U.S. 3,923,916 claims nickel pyrophosphate as a superior catalyst for the oxydehydrogenation of alkyl aromatics. U.S. 3,933,932 and U.S.
3,957,897 disclose the use of lanthanum, rare earth and alkaline earth phosphates, respectively, as oxydehydrogenation catalysts for alkyl aromatics. However catalyst compositions containing arsenic, antimony, bismuth rellunum or cadmium phosphates which have demonstrated outstanding activity for the dehydrogenation reaction of the present invention have heretofore not been disclosed. Although U.S. 3,873,633 utilizes a cobalt-bismuth-phosphorus-oxygen composition as a catalyst for the oxydehydrogenation of paraffinic hydrocarbons to monoolefins or diolefins, the use of this type of catalyst for the conversion of alkylaromatics to unsaturated side-chain derivatives has heretofore not been known.
The present invention comprises a process for the catalytic oxydehydrogenation of alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds to the corresponding alkenyl-substituted aromatics.
More specifically the invention comprises the oxydehydrogenation of alkylaromatic compounds to form the corresponding unsaturated side-chain derivative wherein the alkylaromatic contains at least one alkyl group having from two to six carbon atoms, and wherein the alkyl group is attached to only one aromatic ring. The aromatic may be a mononuclear or a condensed-ring dinuclear aromatic, or a corresponding nitrogencontaining heterocyclic aromatic.
The invention therefore provides a process for the dehydrogenation of an alkylaromatic compound to the corresponding alkenylaromatic wherein said alkylaromatic contains at least one alkyl group of from 2 to 6 carbon atoms which is attached to a single aromatic ring, and wherein the aromatic group is selected from the group consisting of mononuclear, condensed-ring dinuclear aromatics and the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aromatics, which comprises passing a gaseous mixture of the alkylaromatic, molecular oxygen and optionally a diluent gas over a catalyst at a temperature of from 300 to 6500C, in which the catalyst has a composition represented by the following empirical formula: AaMbMIcMlldXepyOx wherein A is an alkali metal and or thallium; M is one or more of the elements of nickel, cobalt, copper, manganese, magnesium, zinc, calcium, niobium, tantalum, strontium, or barium; M1 is one or more of the elements of iron, chromium, uranium, thorium, vanadium, titanium, lanthanum or the other rare earths; M11 is one or more of the elements of tin, boron, lead, germanium, aluminium, tungsten or molybdenum; X is tellurium, arsenic, antimony, cadmium or combinations thereof; P is phosphorus; and wherein a to y have the following values: a = 0 to 20; b = 0 to 20; c = 0 to 20; d = O to 4; e = 0.1 to 20; y = 8 to 16; x = the number of oxygens required to satisfy the valence requirements of the other elements present; and wherein the sum of b + c + e is greater than 1.
Preferred catalyst compositions in the process of the invention are those in which a = 0 to 2; b = 4 to 12; c = 0.2 to 4; d = 0 to 2; e = 0.5 to 5; and y =10 to 14.
Catalyst compositions represented by the empirical formula: AaMbMICMl ldXePyOx in which A, M, X and P are as defined above, M' represents one or more of the elements of iron, uranium, thorium, vanadium, titanium, lanthanum, or the other rare earths; M" is one or more of the elements of tin, lead, germanium, aluminium or tungsten, and a to y have the following values; a = 0 to 5; b = 4 to 20; c = 0.1 to 10; d = 0 to 4; e = 0.1 to 12; y = 8 to 16; x = the number of oxygens required to satisfy the valence requirements of the other elements present; and wherein the sum of 2b + 3 (c + e) is greater than 9 and less than 3y, are particularly preferred for use in the process of the present invention, and are described and claimed in our co-pending application No.
7938969 (Serial No. 1598510).
The catalysts used according to this invention are unexpectedly good oxydehydrogenation catalysts. For example in the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene, per pass conversions to styrene in the range of 70% and selectivities of up to 90% are obtained.
The catalysts may be used alone or supported on a carrier. Suitable carrier materials include silica, Alundum, (Registered Trade Mark) titania and mullite and particularly phosphate-type carriers such as zirconium phosphate, antimony phosphate, aluminum phosphate and especially boron phosphate. In general, the support may be employed in amounts less than 95% by weight of the final catalyst composition, and the catalyst may be incorporated with the carrier by coating, impregnation and coprecipitation.
The catalysts may be prepared by coprecipitation or by other methods known in the art.
Generally they are prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of the metal nitrates with an aqueous solution of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and drying the precipitate.
The catalyst may be calcined to produce desirable physical properties such as attrition resistance, optimum surface area and particle size. It is generally preferred that the calcined catalyst be further heat-treated in the presence of oxygen at a temperature of above 250"C but below a temperature deleterious to the catalyst.
Alkylaromatics which may be oxydehydrogenated acording to the process of the invention include the mono-substituted aromatics such as, for example, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, secondary-butylbenzene; disubstituted aromatics such as ethyltoluene, diethylbenzene, t-butyl-ethyl-benzene; trisubstituted aromatics such as the ethylxylenes; condensed ring aromatics such as ethylnaphthalene, methyl ethylnaphthalene, diethylnaphthalene; and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic aromatics such as ethylpyridine, methylethylpyridine, ethylquinoline and ethylisoquinoline. Particularly preferred alkylaromatics are ethylbenzene which is readily converted to styrene, diethylbenzene which is converted to mixtures of ethylstyrene and divinylbenzene, ethylpyridine and methylethylpyridine which are converted to vinylpyridine and methylvinylpyridine, respectively.
The reaction may be conducted in a fixed-bed or a fluidized-bed reactor at temperatures as low as 300"C, although optimum temperatures for the dehydrogenation of the alkyl side-chains are in the range of from 400" to 6000C, and there is no apparent advantage in operating at temperatures much in excess of 650"C.
The pressure at which the process is usually conducted is approximately atmospheric, although pressure of from slightly below atmospheric up to and above 3 atmospheres may be used.
The apparent contact time employed in the process of the invention may be within the range of 0.1 to 50 seconds, and for good selectivity and yields a contact time of from 1 to 15 seconds is preferred.
The molar ratio of oxygen to alkylaromatic compound fed to the reactor can vary from 0.5 to 5 moles of oxygen per mole of alkyl aromatic compound, but a preferred range is from 0.5 to 1.5 moles of oxygen per mole of aromatic compound. The oxygen employed may be in the form of pure oxygen, although the use of air is preferred for purposes of convenience.
Diluents such as steam, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, inert hydrocarbons or other inert gases may also be used and amount of from 0 to 20 volumes of diluent per volume of alkylaromatic compound are suitable.
The following examples serve to illustrate the feasibility and the improvement obtained in the oxydehydrogenation process utilizing catalysts used according to the present invention as compared with catalysts of the prior art.
