Abstract

PURPOSE:To industrially and advantageously isomerize a 4-10C n-paraffin into a paraffin having side chains without adding H2 gas into a reaction system by using a solid catalyst in a mixed fluid of the reactant and product in a supercritical state. CONSTITUTION:A 4-10C n-paraffin is introduced into a reactor filled with a solid catalyst supporting Pt on Y type zeolite, etc., and isomerized under conditions of higher reaction temperature and reaction pressure than the critical temperature and pressure of a mixed fluid consisting of the reactant and product in the reaction vessel without adding H2 gas into the reaction system. The mixed fluid of the unreacted reactant and the product emerging from the reactor is then decompressed to take out the paraffin as an isomerized paraffin product having side chains.

Several methods have already been proposed for isomerizing hexane and the like into paraffins having side chains. Typical examples include: ■ Hydroisomerization at high temperature and low pressure using platinum-zeolide, platinum-silica-alumina, platinum-alumina catalysts, etc.; Examples include hydroisomerization at low temperature and low pressure in which an organic chlorine compound, etc. is added, and (2) isomerization at low temperature and low pressure using a Friedel-Krauch type catalyst.

However, in the isomerization method (2), it is necessary to use an expensive platinum-supported catalyst, and there is also a risk that platinum fine particles may be sintered due to high temperatures during catalyst regeneration, resulting in a decrease in activity. Furthermore, in order to prevent deterioration of catalyst activity due to coking or catalyst poisoning, hydrogen gas must be added to the reaction system in an amount of 1 to 4 times the mole of linear paraffin as a raw material. ■
The isomerization method (2) is an improved version of (2), but like (2) it uses a supported platinum catalyst and hydrogen gas is added to the reaction system, and it has the same problems as (2). In the isomerization method (2), aluminum chloride or aluminum bromide and hydrogen chloride are used as catalysts, and there are problems with equipment corrosion and operational complexity.

In order to preferably carry out the method of the present invention, the reactant, linear paraffin, is first introduced into a reactor filled with a catalyst using a pump, and the isomerization reaction is carried out. The reaction temperature is controlled by an electric furnace or oil constant temperature bath, and the pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator installed on the upstream or downstream side of the reactor. At this time, the reaction temperature and pressure are adjusted to be higher than the critical temperature and critical pressure of the mixed fluid consisting of reactants and products in the reactor.

Next, the mixed fluid of unreacted substances and products discharged from the reactor is depressurized and then taken out as a product. If it is desired to increase the concentration of paraffins with side chains in the product, it is possible to use conventionally known methods such as adsorption removal of straight chain paraffins using a molecular sieve or concentration of paraffins with side chains by distillation.

A supercritical fluid in a state exceeding a critical temperature and pressure has a large dissolving power comparable to that of a liquid, and furthermore, the mass transfer rate in the fluid is much higher than that of a liquid. Therefore, when a reaction is carried out in a reactor filled with a solid acid catalyst by controlling the reaction temperature and pressure to bring the mixed fluid consisting of reactants and products into a supercritical state, coke precursors are formed on the catalyst surface. It is possible to quickly extract the body and its polymer into a supercritical fluid for ≧1 hour, and it is possible to control the decrease in catalyst activity due to coking.

In the present invention, which utilizes the excellent properties of the above-mentioned supercritical fluid,
There is no need to add expensive hydrogen gas to the reaction system to suppress the formation of coking, as in the hydroisomerization methods shown in the prior art (1) and (2). In addition, conventionally used catalysts such as platinum-zeolide and platinum-silica-alumina can be used, but acidic solid catalysts that are cheaper and do not cause sinterlinking of supported metals during regeneration, such as zeolite, can also be used. Even mordenite, silica-alumina, and alumina catalysts can maintain good activity for a long period of time. Furthermore, since the present invention uses a solid acidic catalyst,
There is no fear of equipment corrosion as in the isomerization method shown in the prior art (■).

The isomerization reaction from n-pentane to isopentane was carried out under conditions of 1 min and no addition of hydrogen gas, and the relationship between the residual activity of the catalyst, time, and reaction pressure was determined. The experimental results are expressed as R in Table 1.
It is indicated by unNo. 1.2.3. From the results of Run No.], it became clear that when the reaction pressure was lower than the critical pressure of the mixed fluid in the reactor, the catalyst activity decreased rapidly. That is, at this pressure, the dissolving power of the mixed fluid is small and hydrogen gas is not added to suppress coke formation, so the coke precursors accumulated on the catalyst surface polymerize and cover the active sites of the catalyst. It's to go. On the other hand, from the results of Run No. 2 and 3, increasing the reaction pressure to bring the mixed fluid in the reactor into a supercritical state increases the ability of the mixed fluid to dissolve the coke precursor, and maintains high catalyst activity for a long time. It turns out that it can be maintained. Especially Run
In the case of No. 3, the residual activity after 15 hours from the start of the reaction was a nearly constant value of 70:2, and it was possible to maintain the catalyst activity for a long time after stable catalyst activity.

Example 2 A reactor was charged with 30.8 g of 1, 4, and 4% supported zeolites, and the reaction temperature was 314°C, and the liquid n-pentane flow rate was 2 or 0.5 min or 0.5 min, hydrogen The isomerization reaction of n-pentane was carried out without adding gas.At this time, the reaction pressure was 30.30 for Run No. 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively.
It was 6.405.405Kg/ffl. Table 1 shows the change in residual activity of the catalyst over time. 0, 2 shown in Example 1
As in the case of the wt% platinum-V zeolite catalyst, Ru
In No. 4, the pressure of the mixed fluid in the reactor was below the critical pressure, so the catalyst activity rapidly decreased over time. On the other hand, in Run No. 5.6.7, the mixed fluid is in a high-pressure supercritical state, so the coke tip on the catalyst surface is extracted into the supercritical fluid before polymerization, suppressing catalyst deterioration. It was done. In the experiment with Run No. 6.7 in which the reaction was carried out under a pressure of 405 Kg/ci, 15
After hours, the residual activity is about 85% and 94%, respectively.
It became clear that stable and high values were maintained.
