Description
DECOMPOSITION PROCESS OF HYDROPEROXIDES
Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to an improved catalytic process for the decomposition of alkyl or aromatic hydroperoxides to form a mixture containing the corresponding alcohol and ketone. In particular, the invention relates to the decomposition of a hydroperoxide by contacting it with a catalytic amount of a heterogeneous catalyst of Au, Ag, Cu or a sol-gel compound containing particular combinations of Cr, Co, Zr, Ta, Yes, Ti, Nb, Al and Mg, where certain of these metals have been combined with an oxide.
Background of the Invention
Industrial processes for the production of mixtures of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone from cyclohexane are commonly of considerable commercial significance and are well described in the patent literature. In accordance with typical industrial practice, the cyclohexane is oxidized to form a mixture of Ref.30838 reaction containing cyclohexyl hydroperoxide (CHHP). The resulting CHHP is decomposed, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, to form a reaction mixture containing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. In industry, such a mixture is known as a K / A mixture (ketone / alcohol), and can easily be oxidized to produce adipic acid, which is an important reagent in the processes for preparing certain condensation polymers, especially polyamides. Due to the large volumes of adipic acid consumed in these and other processes, improvements in the processes for producing adipic acid and its precursors can be used to provide cost-beneficial benefits. Druliner et al., In U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,084, discloses an improved catalytic process for oxidizing cyclohexane to form a mixture of the reaction containing CHHP, and to subsequently decompose the resulting CHHP to form a mixture containing K and A. The improvement involves the use of certain complexes of transition metal of the 1,3-bis (2-pyridylimino) isoindolines as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexane and for the decomposition of CHHP. According to this patent, these catalysts demonstrate a longer catalyst life, a conversion of higher CHHP to K and A, an operation at lower temperatures (80-16C ° C), and a reduced formation of metal-containing solids. insoluble, in relation to the results obtained with certain fatty acid salts of cobalt (II), for example, cobalt 2-ethylhexanoate. Druliner et al., In U.S. Pat. No. 4,503,257, describes another improved catalytic process for oxidizing cyclohexane to form a reaction mixture containing CHHP, and for the subsequent decomposition of the resulting CHHP to form a mixture containing K and A. This improvement involves the use of Co304, Mn02, or Fe30 applied to a solid support suitable as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexane and the decomposition of CHHP at a temperature from about 80 ° C to about 130 ° C, in the presence of molecular oxygen. Sanderson et al., In U.S. Pat. No. 5,414,163, describes a process for preparing t-butyl alcohol from t-butyl hydroperoxide in the liquid phase on catalytically effective amounts of titania, zirconia, or mixtures thereof. Sanderson et al., In U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,414,141, 5,399,794 and 5,401,889, describes a process for preparing t-butyl alcohol from t-butyl hydroperoxide in the liquid phase on catalytically effective amounts of the paladic with gold as a dispersion agent supported on alumina. Druliner et al., In the provisional U.S. 60 / 025,368 filed September 3, 1996 (now PCT patent US97 / 15332 filed on September 2, 1997), describes the decomposition of a hydroperoxide by contacting it with a catalytic amount of a heterogeneous catalyst of hydroxides or oxides of Zr., Nb, Hf and Ti. Preferably, the catalyst is supported on Si02, A1203, carbon or Ti02. Further improvements and options are necessary for the decomposition of the hydroperoxide to K / A mixtures to overcome the deficiencies inherent in the prior art. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art with reference to the detailed description which will be given hereinafter.
Brief Description of the Invention
In accordance with the present invention, an improved process is provided in which a hydroperoxide is decomposed to form a decomposition reaction mixture containing a corresponding alcohol and the ketone. The improvement comprises decomposing the hydroperoxide by contacting the hydroperoxide with a catalytic amount of a heterogeneous catalyst selected from the group consisting of (1) Au (gold), (2) Ag (silver), (3) Cu (copper) and (4) sol-gel compounds comprised of (a) one or more elements selected from a first group consisting of Cr, Co and Ti and (b) one or more elements selected from a second group consisting of Zr, Ta, Nb, Si, Al, Mg and Ti, where the elements selected from (b) are combined with an oxide and where the elements of the first group can not be the same as the elements of the second group. Preferably, an inorganic matrix of the oxides or hydroxides, or combinations thereof, is used as the oxide. In addition, the catalysts are optionally supported on a suitable support element, such as Si02, A1203, carbon, zirconia, MgO or Ti02.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Modalities
The present invention provides an improved process for carrying out a decomposition weight of the hydroperoxide in an industrial process in which an alkyl or aromatic compound is oxidized to form a mixture of the corresponding alcohol and the ketone. In particular, the cyclohexane can be oxidized to form a mixture containing cyclohexanol (A) and cyclohexanone (K). The industrial process involves a few steps: first, the cyclohexane is oxidized, forming a reaction mixture containing CHHP; second, the CHHP is decomposed, forming a mixture containing K and A. As previously mentioned, the processes for the oxidation of cyclohexane are well known in the literature and are available to those skilled in the art. The advantages of the present heterogeneous catalytic process, in relation to the processes employing homogeneous metal catalysts, such as metal salts or metal / ligand mixtures, include longer catalyst life, improved yields of useful products, and absence of soluble metal compounds. The improved process may also be useful for the decomposition of other alkane or aromatic hydroperoxides, for example, t-butyl hydroperoxide, cyclododecyl hydroperoxide and eumeno nidroperóxido. The CHHP decomposition processes can be carried out under a wide variety of conditions and in a wide variety of solvents, including cydohexane itself. Since CHHP is typically produced industrially as a cyclohexane solution from the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane, a convenient and preferred solvent for the decomposition process of the invention is cyclohexane. Such a mixture may be used as received from the first step of the cyclohexane oxidation process or after some of the constituents have been removed by known processes such as distillation or aqueous extraction to remove the carboxylic acids and other impurities. The preferred concentration of CHHP in the feed mixture of CHHP decomposition may vary from about 0.5% by weight to 100% (ie, pure). In the industrially practical route, the preferred range is from about 0.5% to about 3% by weight. Suitable reaction temperatures for the process of the invention range from about 80 ° C to about 170 ° C. Temperatures from about 110 ° C to about 130 ° C are typically preferred. The pressures of the reaction may preferably vary approximately from a pressure of 69 kPa to about 2760 kPa (10-400 psi), and pressures from about 2 ^ 6 kPa to about 1380 kPa (40-200 psi) are more preferred . The reaction times vary inversely with respect to the reaction temperature, and typically vary from about 2 to about 30 minutes. As previously noted, the heterogeneous catalysts of the invention include Au, Ag, Cu (including, but not limited to, Au sol, Ag and Cu compounds) and certain sol-gel compounds other than Au / Ag / Cu, preferably applied to suitable solid supports. The process of the invention can also be carried out using the Au, Ag or Cu in the presence of other metals (for example, Pd). The percentage of the metal with respect to the support can vary from about 0.01 to about 50 weight percent, and preferably is from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent. Suitably, the currently preferred supports include SiO2 (silica), A1203 (alumina), C (carbon), TiO2 (titania), MgO (magnesia) or ZrO2 (zirconia). Zirconia is a particularly preferred support, and the Au supported on zirconia is a particularly preferred catalyst of the invention.
Some of the heterogeneous catalysts of the invention can be obtained either prepared from the manufacturers, or they can be prepared from suitable starting materials using methods known in the art. These methods may include soi-gel techniques as described in more detail below to prepare both Au / Ag / Cu sol-gel compounds and other sol-gel compounds other than Au / Ag / Cu. The supported gold catalysts can be prepared by any standard procedure that is known to give the gold well dispersed, such as by evaporative techniques or coatings of colloidal dispersions. In particular, gold of ultrafine particle size is preferred. Such small particulate gold (often smaller than 10 nm) can be prepared according to Haruta, M., "Size-and Support-Dependency in the Catalysis of Gold", Catalysis Today 36 (1997) 153-166 and Tsubota et al. ., Preparation of Catalysts V, pp. 695-704 (1991). Such gold preparations produce samples that are purple-pink in place of the typical bronze color associated with gold and lead to highly dispersed gold catalysts when placed on a suitable support element. These highly dispersed gold particles are from about 3 nm to about 15 nm in diameter. The solid support of the catalyst, which includes Si02, A1203, carbon, MgO, zirconia, or Ti02, can be amorphous or crystalline, or a mixture of amorphous and crystalline forms. The selection of an optimum average particle size for the catalyst supports will depend on process parameters such as residence time in the reactor and the desired reactor flow rates. In general, the average particle size will vary from about 0.005 mm to about 5 mm. Catalysts having a surface area greater than 10 m2 / g are preferred since the increased surface area of the catalyst has a direct correlation with the increased decomposition rates in batch experiments. Brackets that have much larger surface areas can also be employed, but the inherent fragility of catalysts with a large surface area, and the problems that arise during the maintenance of an acceptable particle size distribution, will establish a practical upper limit on the surface area of catalyst support. Other catalysts useful in the present invention are comprised of certain metals (including metal ions) combined with an oxide, such as an inorganic matrix of oxides or hydroxides, or combinations thereof. The metals include Cr, Co, Zr, Ta, Nb, Al, Si, Ti and Mg, present in combinations as described above. The mole percentage of the metals in the matrix can vary, as can the number of different metals and their relative proportions. They may also have a variable hydroxide content, which may depend on the calcination temperature, if it is effected, and other parameters. The transition metals of Co and Cr may be present as inorganic salts while Zr, Ta, Nb, Si, Al, Ti and Mg may be present as an oxide, a hydroxide, or combinations thereof. (Note that for simplification the corresponding anions are not shown for these cations in the formulas identified here). Typical preparations involve the sol-gel chemistry where the metals are co-hydrolyzed and / or trapped in the center of an inorganic matrix. A better dispersion and uniformity of the metal can be obtained compared to that which can be achieved normally using more conventional synthetic methods. The inorganic matrix can optionally be supported on an appropriate support element, such as Si02, A1203, Zr02, carbon, MgO, or Ti02. The preferred catalysts of this type are those containing Cr and / or Co. A "sol-gel technique" is a process wherein a free flowing fluid solution "sol", it is prepared first by dissolving suitable precursor materials such as colloids, alkoxides or metal salts in a solvent. The "sol" is then dosed with a reagent to initiate the reactive polymerization of the precursor. A typical example is tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS) dissolved in ethanol. Water, with an acid or trace base as the catalyst to initiate hydrolysis, is added. When polymerization and crosslinking proceed, the freely flowing "sol" increases in viscosity and may eventually harden to a rigid "gel". The "gel" consists of a reticulated network of the desired material which encapsulates the original solvent within its open porous structure. The "gel" can then be dried, typically either by simple heating in a flow of dry air to produce a xerogel or the trapped solvent can be removed by displacement with a supercritical fluid such as liquid C02 to produce an airgel. These aerogels and xerogels can be optionally calcined at elevated temperatures (>; 200 ° C) which leads to products which typically have very porous structures and concomitantly large surface areas. In the practice of the invention, the catalysts can be contacted with the CHHP by the formulation in a catalyst bed, which is positioned to provide intimate contact between the catalysts and the reactants. Alternatively, the catalysts can be converted to a suspension using techniques known in the art. The process of the invention is suitable for continuous or batch CHHP decomposition processes. These processes can be carried out under a wide variety of conditions. The addition of air or a mixture of air and inert gases to the decomposition mixtures of CHHP provides larger conversions of the process reagents to K and A, since some of the cyclohexane is directly oxidized to K and A, in addition to K and To which are formed by decomposition of CHHP. This ancient process is known as the "cyclohexane share", and is described in detail in Druliner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,084, the complete content of which is incorporated herein for reference.
The process of the present invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples. In these examples, all temperatures are in degrees centigrade and all percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

EXAMPLES
All reactions were run in a batch reactor mode, in 3.5 ml glass vials, sealed with plastic stoppers and partitions. The ampoules were inserted into an aluminum block stirrer / heater that can hold up to 8 ampoules. Agitation was done using stir bars coated with Teflon®.
Each vial was charged first with 1.5 ml of n-octane or undecane solvent, approximately 0.005 or 0.01 g of a given crushed catalyst, a stir bar and the vial is sealed. The ampules were shaken and heated for approximately 10 minutes to ensure that the desired reaction temperature of 125 ° C had been achieved. Next, at the beginning of each example, 30 μi of a storage solution of CHHP and TCB (1,2,4-trichlorobenzene) or CB (chlorobenzene), from the internal standard of GC (gas chromatograph) were injected. The storage solutions consisted of mixtures of approximately 20% by weight of TCB or CB in CHHP. The source of CHHP contained up to 2.0% by weight of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone combined. The ampules were removed from the aluminum stirrer / heater after a period of 0.5 to 10 minutes and allowed to cool to room temperature. In Examples 1-10 (Table I) the ampoules were analyzed directly to verify the amount of remaining CHHP, using a DB-17 capillary column of 15 m with an internal diameter of 0.32 mm. The liquid phase of the column was comprised of methyl polysiloxane (50% by weight of phenyl). The column was obtained from J. and W. Scientific, Folsum, California.
GC analyzes to verify the amounts of CHHP in each solution were calculated using the equation:% weight CHHP = (% CHHP area /% TCB area) x% TCB x R weight. F. CHHP R.F.CHHP (CG response factor for CHHP) was determined from the calibration solutions containing known amounts of CHHP and TCB, and was calculated from the equation:
R.F.CHHP =% weight CHHP /% area CHHP% weight TCB /% area TCB
% CHHP Decomp. = 100 x [l - (% CHHP area /% TCB area) final / (% CHHP area /% initial TCB area] In Examples 1-10 (Table 1) the initial concentrations of CHHP in each vial were approximately 2.2% The numbers of CHHP? nic? a? and CHHPfina? of% by weight of CG are only approximate because the number of TCB ratios per g of solution used in the CG calculations were all made arbitrarily equal to 0.25 mg of
TCB / g of solution. Since the unheated samples of 1.5 ml of n-octane and 30 μl of the CHHP / TCB solution were analyzed with each set of the CHHP decomposition product ampoules from the same CHHP / TCB solution, they could be calculate the exact changes in the CHHP / TCB relationships. Examples 11-13 (Table II), and Examples
14-16 (Table III), gave the results of the decomposition of the% of t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) and the% of eumeno hydroperoxide (CumenoOOH) of the batch, respectively for the catalysts of 1% Au / Coal and 10% Au / Si02. Analyzes for t-BuOOH and CumenoOOH were made using a well-known iodometric titration procedure, described in Comprehensi ve Analytcal cal Chemistry, Elsevier Publishing Company, New York, Eds. C. L. Wilson, p. 756, 1960. The starting and product solutions of t-BuOOH and cumenoOOH in n-octane, followed by the addition of excess acetic acid / KI solution, were shaken in sealed vials at room temperature for 10 minutes and were titrated with a 0.1M Na2S203 solution for the amounts of I2 released by t-BuOOH and CumenoOOH present. Examples 17-41 (Tables IV and V) were run as described for Examples 1-10 except that the reaction was run at 150 ° C and chlorobenzene was used as an internal CG standard instead of the TCB and the solvent of undecano was used in place of n-octane. In Tables IV and V, the amount of initial CHHP and final CHHP in the reaction was determined by calculating the CG peak area of CHHP divided by the C-tocopherol C peak area (% CHHP area /% CB area).
