Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the thermal stability of the subject compound in hot molten state and to prevent the discoloration of the compound by using n-propyl gallate in combination with cuprous chloride and zinc chloride and adding the components to maleic anhydride at respective specific concentrations. CONSTITUTION:Maleic anhydride useful as a raw material for synthetic rubber, plasticizer, synthetic resin, adhesive, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather, agricultural chemicals, etc., is added with 1-100ppm of n-propyl gallate, 0.1-5ppm of cuprous chloride and further 0.1-5ppm of zinc chloride. The color-development of maleic anhydride in molten state at a high temperature can be suppressed to a level hardly expectable from the conventional knowledge and the deterioration of color with time during the stock of molten compound can be remarkably suppressed by this process. Since sufficient effect can be attained by the use of a very small amount of the above additive, there is absolutely no influence of the additive on the product as an impurity and the process has considerable contribution to the improvement of the quality of maleic anhydride.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for improving the thermal stability and preventing discoloration of maleic anhydride during heating and melting.

Maleic anhydride is a typical unsaturated dibasic acid obtained by catalytic oxidation of benzene or a hydrocarbon fraction with 4 carbon atoms (hereinafter referred to as C4 fraction), and two carboxyl groups are replaced by the acid anhydride. In addition, it has highly reactive double bonds, so it can undergo various chemical reactions, such as synthetic rubber, plasticizers, synthetic resins, adhesives, synthetic fibers, synthetic leather,
It is a useful substance widely used as a raw material for agricultural chemicals, etc.
A common method for producing maleic anhydride is to subject benzene or a C4 fraction to catalytic gas phase oxidation using a catalyst, and refine the resulting crude product by distillation to obtain maleic anhydride.

However, even purified maleic anhydride contains small amounts of impurities such as oxidation by-products that are difficult to remove, and as a result, it lacks thermal stability and tends to become colored when heated and melted, especially when stored for a long period of time. This tendency is remarkable, and the coloring property upon heating and melting is closely related to the quality of various secondary products made from maleic anhydride as a raw material, resulting in a significant loss of their commercial value.

That is, the method for preventing discoloration of maleic anhydride of the present invention uses gallic acid n-propyl ester in a weight ratio of 1 to 1100 ppm and cuprous chloride in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 5 ppm to maleic anhydride.
The method of adding the stabilizer in the present invention is not particularly limited, but for example, purified maleic anhydride distilled from a distillation process or This is carried out by adding to maleic anhydride stored in a molten state and stirring. As for the addition method, gallic acid n-propyl ester and cuprous chloride may be added individually first, or they may be mixed in advance, or zinc chloride may be added directly as is. Alternatively, it may be added after being dissolved in water or an organic solvent such as ethanol. Either method will ensure that the desired effect will be obtained. The amount of stabilizer added is in the range of 1 to 100 ptn for gallic acid n-propyl ester and 0.1 to 5 ptn for cuprous chloride to maleic anhydride in terms of weight ratio.
ppm is appropriate, and zinc chloride is added in a range of 0.1 to s.
An appropriate amount may be selected within the ppm range.

A color stabilizer combining gallic acid n-propyl ester and cuprous chloride has already been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 41-19405, but as mentioned above, this combination does not provide the currently required thermal stability during heating and melting. However, as a result of various experiments, the present inventors surprisingly achieved extremely remarkable thermal stability by combining gallic acid n-propyl ester, cuprous chloride, and zinc chloride. I was able to obtain my sexuality. In the case of the combination of gallic acid n-propyl ester and cuprous chloride, as shown in the comparative example below, even if the amount added is increased, it is far inferior to the level of the present invention, and the same is true when looking at zinc chloride alone. . Furthermore, it is not preferable to use a large amount of stabilizer because it may cause impurities due to the quality of maleic anhydride, especially its chemical properties.

-By further combining zinc chloride with the combination of propyl ester and cuprous chloride, it is possible to reduce the hue of the high temperature melting color of maleic anhydride to a degree that was previously unachievable, and also to reduce the hue over time during melt stocking. Hue deterioration can also be significantly suppressed. However, since the effects of these additives can be sufficiently obtained even in small amounts, there is no impurity effect on the product, and they greatly contribute to improving the quality of maleic anhydride.
