Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、酢酸の精製方法に関する。更に詳しくは、本発明は、還元性有機物質を不純物として含む酢酸の精製方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
酢酸は、石油化学工業、有機化学工業、医薬農薬製造工業、高分子化学工業などにおいて多量に使用される基礎化学品の一つである。
【0003】
酢酸の工業的製造方法としてはアセトアルデヒドの酸化、n−ブタンの直接酸化(米国特許第2659746号明細書等)、ライトナフサの直接酸化(米国特許第2926191号明細書等)、メタノールのカルボニル化反応による製造方法(米国特許2650244号明細書等)、エチレンの直接酸化法(米国特許5162578号明細書等)が知られている。
【0004】
しかしながら、いずれの製造方法であっても、得られる合成酢酸中には副反応によって不純物が混入してくるので、これらを酢酸から十分に除去する必要がある。特に、不純物として還元性有機物質が製品酢酸中に極微量含まれていても製品酢酸には着色が生じるなどの問題がある。
【0005】
通常、不純物は蒸留によって除去操作は行われるが、不純物に含まれる還元性有機物質の多くは酢酸の沸点と近い沸点を有するので、蒸留という物理的な方法によってこれらの不純物を完全に除去することは極めて困難であった。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、上記従来技術の有していた問題を解決し、酢酸に含まれる不純物としての還元性有機物質を効率的に除去する方法を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、酢酸中に微少量混在する還元性有機物質が、酢酸に着色を生じさせ、品質を落とす大きな要因となることを見出し、さらに、該還元性有機物質を除去する方法について鋭意検討を重ねて本発明を完成するに至った。
【0008】
すなわち本発明の目的は、
還元性有機物質を不純物として含む酢酸の精製方法において、該不純物を含む酢酸と、全酢酸重量を基準として0.05〜0.2重量%の蟻酸とを共存させ、次いで貴金属担持固体触媒に通液する酢酸の精製方法であって、該貴金属担持固体触媒の担持体が無機酸化物および/または活性炭であり、固体触媒に通液する酢酸が、酢酸水溶液から蒸留操作および/または抽出・蒸留操作により回収した酢酸であり、酢酸水溶液が、芳香族カルボン酸製造プロセス、脂肪族カルボン酸製造プロセス、これらのエステル製造プロセスからなる群から選ばれた少なくとも1種類のプロセスから発生する酢酸含有廃水を前処理して得た処理排水であることを特徴とする、酢酸の精製方法により達成することができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の精製方法が対象とするのは、還元性有機物質を不純物として含む酢酸であり、該不純物を含む酢酸を、蟻酸の共存下に固体触媒に通液することが必要である。
【0010】
該固体触媒としては、蟻酸を分解して遊離の水素原子を発生する能力を有し、且つ酢酸に対して耐久性を有する触媒であればいずれも用いることができるが、なかでも、貴金属担持型のものを好ましく用いることができ、該貴金属としてはパラジウムを用いることが好ましい。さらに、該担持型触媒を用いる場合には、担持体として、無機酸化物および/または活性炭を用いることが好ましく、該無機酸化物としては耐酸性の高い酸化チタンが用いられる。
【0011】
ここで、固体触媒として貴金属担持型の触媒を用いる際には、該貴金属の担持量は触媒重量全体に対して1〜5%とすることが好ましく、さらに、触媒の形状としてはペレット状、球状、ハニカム状、リング状など何れの形態も使用できるが粉体状の場合にはそれを分離する工程が必要となるため好ましくない。
【0012】
本発明においては、精製対象となる酢酸に対し、該酢酸を上記固体触媒に通液する以前の任意の段階で、蟻酸を全酢酸重量(蟻酸を含む。)を基準として、0.05〜0.2重量%共存させておくことが必要である。
【0013】
該蟻酸濃度が0.05重量%未満である場合には、本願発明における還元性有機物質の除去効果を奏することができない。一方、0.2重量%を越えると、逆に大量の蟻酸が酢酸中に存在することになり、製品酢酸純度が低下し、好ましくない。
【0014】
なお、該酢酸と共存状態にある蟻酸は、固体触媒と反応することによって発生する水素が、製品酢酸の着色原因となる還元性有機物質を、着色原因とはならない他の化合物へと転換しているものと推察される。
【0015】
なお、回収した酢酸中にすでに上述の範囲で蟻酸が含まれているのであれば、蟻酸を新たに添加する必要は無い。
【0016】
酢酸を固体触媒に通液させる際の温度は、他の条件によっても多少の変動はあるが、一般に、加圧設備を必要としない酢酸の沸点以下とすることが好ましく、特に、50℃〜90℃とすることが好ましい。この温度範囲にあるときには、不純物の除去が十分に進むとともに、設備の腐食も最小限に抑えることが可能である。反応圧力についても任意に設定すればよいが、酢酸の沸点より高い温度で通液する場合は、酢酸が液相を保持する圧力で行う必要がある。さらに、酢酸の流量は触媒単位kg重量当たり3〜7l/h程度に設定すればよい。
【0017】
本発明の精製方法として酢酸から除去する対象とするのは還元性有機物質であるが、酢酸合成時の副生成物とは別に、▲1▼酢酸の沸点と還元性有機物質の沸点が近いこと、▲2▼抽出剤を用いても還元性有機物質を完全に除去することは困難であること、から酢酸水溶液から蒸留操作および/または抽出・蒸留操作により回収した酢酸にも、該不純物は多く含まれており、本発明の精製方法はこの酢酸水溶液から回収した酢酸についても効果的な精製方法として適用することができる。
【0018】
この場合、対象とする該回収酢酸の純分は99.5%以上で、且つハーゼン色数が10以上であるか、または純分99.5%以上で、且つ過マンガン酸カリウム試験で過マンガン酸カリウム溶液の滴定量が10〜30mLであるか、または純分は99.5%以上で、且つ硫酸着色試験でのハーゼン色数が20〜100である。これらの品質を有する酢酸を精製するときに、本発明の効果は最大限に発揮される。
【0019】
ここで、酢酸水溶液としては、芳香族カルボン酸製造プロセス、脂肪族カルボン酸製造プロセス、これらのエステル製造プロセスなどから発生する酢酸含有廃水を前処理して得た処理排水を挙げることができる。なお、本発明において、酢酸含有排水の前処理とは湿式酸化、抽出、等の不純物を除去する処理である。
【0020】
さらに、上述の抽出操作で使用する溶媒としては、酢酸より低沸点でも高沸点であってもどちらでもよいが、酢酸との蒸留分離が容易な溶媒、例えば酢酸ブチルやメチル・n−アミルケトン、酢酸エチルなどを用いればよい。
【0021】
なお、上記の回収酢酸を精製する場合には、固体触媒を設置する場所は、酢酸蒸留塔から留出した酢酸を還流する、酢酸送液配管とすることが好ましいが、酢酸蒸留塔から留出した酢酸を取り出す酢酸送液配管でも構わない。なお、この場合は万一触媒が壊れた場合の酢酸への触媒混入を防ぐため適当なガードフィルターを設けるのが好ましい。
【0022】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for purifying acetic acid. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for purifying acetic acid containing a reducing organic substance as an impurity.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Acetic acid is one of basic chemicals used in large quantities in the petrochemical industry, organic chemical industry, pharmaceutical agricultural chemical manufacturing industry, polymer chemical industry, and the like.
[0003]
Industrial production methods of acetic acid include oxidation of acetaldehyde, direct oxidation of n-butane (US Pat. No. 2,659,746, etc.), direct oxidation of light naphtha (US Pat. No. 2,926,191), carbonylation reaction of methanol. And a method for direct oxidation of ethylene (US Pat. No. 5,162,578) is known.
[0004]
However, in any of the production methods, impurities are mixed in the obtained synthetic acetic acid by a side reaction, and it is necessary to sufficiently remove these from acetic acid. In particular, even if a trace amount of a reducing organic substance is contained in the product acetic acid as an impurity, there is a problem that the product acetic acid is colored.
[0005]
Normally, impurities are removed by distillation, but many of the reducing organic substances contained in the impurities have boiling points close to that of acetic acid. Therefore, these impurities must be completely removed by a physical method called distillation. Was extremely difficult.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of the prior art and to provide a method for efficiently removing a reducing organic substance as an impurity contained in acetic acid.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have found that a reducing organic substance mixed in a very small amount in acetic acid causes acetic acid to be colored and is a major factor that degrades the quality, and furthermore, has earnestly devised a method for removing the reducing organic substance. The present invention has been completed through repeated studies.
[0008]
That is, the object of the present invention is to
In the method for purifying acetic acid containing a reducing organic substance as an impurity, acetic acid containing the impurity is allowed to coexist with 0.05 to 0.2% by weight of formic acid based on the total weight of acetic acid, and then passed through a noble metal-supported solid catalyst. A method for purifying acetic acid, wherein the noble metal-supported solid catalyst support is an inorganic oxide and / or activated carbon, and acetic acid passing through the solid catalyst is distilled and / or extracted / distilled from an acetic acid aqueous solution. The acetic acid aqueous solution recovered from the waste water containing acetic acid is generated by at least one process selected from the group consisting of an aromatic carboxylic acid production process, an aliphatic carboxylic acid production process, and an ester production process. This can be achieved by a method for purifying acetic acid, which is treated wastewater obtained by treatment .
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The purification method of the present invention is directed to acetic acid containing a reducing organic substance as an impurity, and it is necessary to pass the acetic acid containing the impurity through a solid catalyst in the presence of formic acid.
[0010]
As the solid catalyst, any catalyst can be used as long as it has the ability to decompose formic acid and generate free hydrogen atoms and has durability against acetic acid. Preferably, palladium is used as the noble metal. Furthermore, when the supported catalyst is used, it is preferable to use an inorganic oxide and / or activated carbon as the support, and titanium oxide having high acid resistance is used as the inorganic oxide.
[0011]
Here, when a noble metal-supported catalyst is used as the solid catalyst, the amount of the noble metal supported is preferably 1 to 5% with respect to the entire catalyst weight, and the shape of the catalyst is pellet-like or spherical. Any form such as a honeycomb form or a ring form can be used, but a powder form is not preferable because a step of separating it is required.
[0012]
In the present invention, with respect to acetic acid to be purified, 0.05 to 0 based on the total acetic acid weight (including formic acid) at the arbitrary stage before the acetic acid is passed through the solid catalyst. It is necessary to coexist with 2% by weight.
[0013]
When the formic acid concentration is less than 0.05% by weight, the effect of removing the reducing organic substance in the present invention cannot be achieved. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.2% by weight, a large amount of formic acid is present in acetic acid, which is not preferable because the purity of product acetic acid is lowered.
[0014]
In addition, formic acid coexisting with the acetic acid, the hydrogen generated by reacting with the solid catalyst converts the reducing organic substance that causes coloring of the product acetic acid into another compound that does not cause coloring. It is assumed that there is.
[0015]
In addition, if formic acid is already contained in the above-mentioned range in the collected acetic acid, it is not necessary to newly add formic acid.
[0016]
The temperature at which acetic acid is passed through the solid catalyst varies somewhat depending on other conditions, but in general, it is preferably not more than the boiling point of acetic acid that does not require a pressurizing facility, and in particular, 50 ° C to 90 ° C. It is preferable to set it as ° C. When the temperature is within this temperature range, the removal of impurities can proceed sufficiently and the corrosion of the equipment can be minimized. The reaction pressure may be arbitrarily set, but when the liquid is passed at a temperature higher than the boiling point of acetic acid, it is necessary to carry out at a pressure at which acetic acid maintains the liquid phase. Furthermore, the flow rate of acetic acid may be set to about 3 to 7 l / h per kg of catalyst unit weight.
[0017]
The target for removal from acetic acid as the purification method of the present invention is a reducing organic substance, but apart from the by-products during the synthesis of acetic acid, (1) the boiling point of acetic acid is close to the boiling point of the reducing organic substance. (2) It is difficult to completely remove the reducing organic substance even if an extractant is used. Therefore, there are many impurities in acetic acid recovered from an acetic acid aqueous solution by distillation and / or extraction / distillation. Thus, the purification method of the present invention can also be applied as an effective purification method for acetic acid recovered from this aqueous acetic acid solution.
[0018]
In this case, the pure content of the collected acetic acid as a target is 99.5% or more and the Hazen color number is 10 or more, or the pure content is 99.5% or more, and the permanganate was tested in the potassium permanganate test. The titration amount of the potassium acid solution is 10 to 30 mL, or the pure content is 99.5% or more, and the Hazen color number in the sulfuric acid coloring test is 20 to 100. When purifying acetic acid having these qualities, the effects of the present invention are maximized.
[0019]
Here, examples of the acetic acid aqueous solution include treated wastewater obtained by pretreating acetic acid-containing wastewater generated from an aromatic carboxylic acid production process, an aliphatic carboxylic acid production process, and these ester production processes. In the present invention, the pretreatment of acetic acid-containing wastewater is a treatment for removing impurities such as wet oxidation and extraction.
[0020]
Furthermore, the solvent used in the above-described extraction operation may be either a lower boiling point or a higher boiling point than acetic acid, but a solvent that can be easily separated by distillation from acetic acid, such as butyl acetate, methyl n-amyl ketone, acetic acid. Ethyl or the like may be used.
[0021]
In the case of purifying the recovered acetic acid, the solid catalyst is preferably installed in an acetic acid feeding pipe for refluxing acetic acid distilled from the acetic acid distillation column. An acetic acid solution feeding pipe for taking out the acetic acid may be used. In this case, it is preferable to provide an appropriate guard filter in order to prevent the catalyst from being mixed into acetic acid if the catalyst is broken.
[0022]
