Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the separation of acrylic acid as a main product and a by-product in a product gas mixture of a partially heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase oxidation reaction of a c3 precursor compound of acrylic acid. And a method of forming a mixture of benzoic acid and other product gases, wherein the acrylic acid and benzoic acid are converted from the product gas mixture to the liquid phase p together with other components of the product gas mixture having a boiling point lower and higher than that of the propionate; The boiling point is removed from the resulting liquid phase p using at least one thermal separation method to a fraction below the benzoic acid and acrylic acid, leaving at least the so weight. / 〇 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 及 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸 丙烯酸[Prior Art] Acrylic acid is an important monomer' itself and/or its burnt ester form can be used to produce polymers (for example, superabsorbent polymers) used in the field of sanitary products (see, for example, WO 02/055469 and WO 03/078378). Acrylic acid can be prepared, for example, by heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidation of a C3 precursor compound (propylene, propyl, and/or acrolein) (see, for example, EP-A Lu 990636, US-A 5 198578, EP-A 1015410, EP-A 1 484 303, EP-A 1 484 308, EP-A 1 484 309 and US-A 2004/0242826) 就 • From the application point of view, the C3 precursor compound used is generally of a relatively high C3 precursor compound of purity (see, DE-A 10131297). However, obtaining, for example, a crude propylene product of this purity is relatively difficult and costly, and this situation generally involves various stages of purification in order to separate high purity acrylic C3 precursor compounds (see, DE-A 352 458). . According to DE_A 12 246 119 and DE-A 10 245 585, the process should in particular be such that the resulting reaction gas mixture of the partial oxidation reaction of 125528.doc 200838848 contains as little as possible c hydrocarbons which impair the catalyst performance without the presence of impurities. The disadvantage of this process is that the above purification stage is complicated, so sometimes only a relatively limited separation action is employed based on the economic factors of the crude product of the q precursor compound (for example, crude propylene).

When the compound can be converted into a dibutyl compound during the reaction, '$ citrate may be a by-product of the acrylic acid formation method. The reason for the formation of benzoic acid is probably the Deer-Ade of C3 dienophiles (such as propylene, acrolein and acrylic acid) which are present in the reaction gas mixture of the heterogeneously catalyzed partial oxidation reaction. The Diels_Alder) reaction, which is likely to continue the heterogeneously catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation of the adduct to form an aromatic compound. The latter is probably catalyzed by the same catalyst as the actual target gas phase oxidation reaction. If appropriate, slight contamination of the crude product of the q precursor compound containing o-xylene (e.g., crude propylene) may also be responsible for the formation of by-products of benzoic acid. The use of a highly active multi-metal oxide catalyst (or a catalytic increase in volume/specific activity in the direction of increased reactant conversion) is additionally carried out using steam as an inert diluent gas, and relative to the county / 卜 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Precursor compound (for example, propylene in the two-stage partial oxidation reaction of propylene forming acrylic acid, or partial oxidation of acrylic acid to acrylic acid 125528.doc 200838848 It seems that the reaction temperature and conversion of acrolein in the reaction stage, or acrolein in the partial oxidation of acrolein to form acrylic acid, or propane in the partial oxidation of propane to form a propionic acid, also appear to increase. Promotes the formation of benzoic acid by-products. Supports the facts of the above hypothesis. In many cases it was found that only benzaldehyde, but not benzoic acid, is a by-product of the formation of acrylic acid. Benzoic acid is generally accompanied by benzaldehyde as a by-product of acrylic acid. Both of the base and the benzic acid are undesired acrylic concomitants. The undesired reason is that it is a compound which is not completely harmless but has considerable reactivity. (This applies correspondingly to esters of benzoic acid.) Therefore, when using the obtained acrylic acid and/or its alkyl ester to prepare a polymer which can be used in the sanitary field (for example, a water-absorbing polymer in a diaper), it must be ensured The acrylic acid used and/or the alkyl acrylate used is completely free of benzoic acid and benzaldehyde. It is well known that acrylic acid can be heterogeneously catalyzed from a c3 precursor compound of acrylic acid (for example, propylene) by a combination of different separation methods. Part of the gas phase oxidation • reaction product gas mixture removal. The combination used under certain conditions - generally depends on the type of non-acrylic minor component of the product gas mixture and summer, and is generally specified by acrylic acid The purpose of the specified acrylic acid depends on the purity. * The main components of the different separation methods are usually separated by thermal separation. The thermal separation method is guided by a gas (rise) and liquid (falling) flow in a countercurrent form in a separation column containing the separated internal charge, and heat and mass transfer occurs due to a gradient between the feed streams and finally causes The separation is to occur in the separation column. I25528.doc 200838848 Examples of such thermal separation methods are (partial) condensation, staged condensation (see Μ-A 245 32) and Seiko. The separation obtained here is based in particular on propylene. The difference in boiling point between the minor components of the acid and non-acrylic acid. Another example is the absorption method. This separation is based in particular on the different solubility of the secondary components of acrylic acid and non-acrylic acid in the liquid. The method (the stripping gas absorbs components having different affinities from the liquid and is present in dissolved form) and the thermal separation method of desorption (reverse process of absorption; removal of substances dissolved in the liquid phase by lowering the partial pressure). The term "thermal separation method" also includes azeotropic distillation and rectification (which uses an acrylic acid and a minor component (a component of a non-acrylic acid in a partial oxidation reaction gas mixture) to form an azeotrope with an added entrainer. Different trends). The difference between the boiling point of acrylic acid (14 TC at i atmosphere) and the boiling point of benzaldehyde (178.rC at 1 atm) is generally insufficient to remove a large amount of benzaldehyde from acrylic acid of appropriate complexity using the thermal separation method described above. The latter is usually removed only when additionally utilizing the different reactivity of benzaldehyde and acrylic acid with the so-called aldehyde • scavenger (W〇 3/014172) (for example, amine hydrazine bicarbonate). The reaction of the aldehyde with the aldehyde scavenger forms a new minor component whose boiling point deviates from the boiling point of the acrylic acid to a greater extent than the aldehyde itself deviates from the boiling point of the acrylic acid, so that after the reaction with the aldehyde scavenger is completed, the rectification route can be used. Remove in large numbers in a simple way. Alternatively, EP-A 1 159 249 discloses the separation of benzamidine and acrylic acid in a product gas mixture of a partial oxidation reaction by combining a thermal separation process (segment condensation) with crystallization (suspended crystallization) (see also DE-A 10247240) 〇 In contrast to the above, the difference between the boiling point of acrylic acid (141 ° C at 1 atm) 125528.doc 200838848 and the boiling point of benzoic acid (250 ° C at 1 atm) is so large that when used Acrylic acid and benzoic acid can usually be separated in large quantities based on the thermal separation method of different boiling points of the components of the mixture. (See, = 10336386. DE-A 19740252 ^ DE-A 10247240) (^^^^^ parts often in phenylhydrazine After acid removal, it is removed by crystallization). However, this thermal separation = a disadvantage that the fraction containing the acrylic acid in an enriched form must be extracted from the fraction = column containing the separated internal charge above the feed of the mixture to be separated in the column. However, it is extremely necessary to supply a heat source at this time because the complete burst of acrylic acid consumes a lot of energy (high boiling point, high evaporation enthalpy, and multiple evaporation due to reflux). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an acrylic acid and a benzene which are present as a main product and a by-product in a product gas mixture of a partially heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase oxidation reaction of a q-precursor compound of acrylic acid. The method of formic acid 'it does not require the above-mentioned separation method which consumes a large amount of energy. Accordingly, there is provided a component of an acrylic acid and a benzoic acid and other product gas mixture as a main product and a by-product in a product gas mixture of a partially heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase oxidation reaction of a q-precursor compound of acrylic acid, wherein acrylic acid is contained. And benzoic acid, together with other components of the product gas mixture having a boiling point lower than that of acrylic acid, are converted from the product gas mixture to the liquid phase P, and the boiling point is removed from the obtained liquid phase p using at least one thermal separation method to be lower than the benzoic acid and the acrylic acid. a component (based on the boiling point of the pure substance at 1 atm) (but not containing benzoic acid; "not contained" means 10% by weight or less, preferably 5% by weight, based on the benzoic acid content in the liquid phase p, respectively. Hereinafter, even more preferably 125528.doc •10-200838848 is 3% by weight or less or 2% by weight or less or 1% by weight or less, and most preferably 〇·75 mil A or less, or 1.1% by weight or less 'or 0 weight %), leaving at least 80% by weight of acrylic acid and at least 0.1% by weight based on the acrylic acid content. (yield at least 0.2% by weight, or at least 〇3% by weight, or at least 〇·4 by weight, or at least 0.5% by weight, or at least 〇·75% by weight., or at least 1% by weight of benzoic acid The liquid phase P*, the method comprises separating the acrylic acid from the liquid phase p* and separating it from the benzoic acid, the acrylic acid is accumulated in the formed crystal, and the benzoic acid is in the residual mother liquid. [Embodiment] According to the invention The method is based on the surprising finding that the loss coefficient A (based on the 5 hai method) is regularly greater than or equal to 15. It is understood that the loss factor abza generally means that the benzoic acid remaining in the mother liquor remains in the crystal. The content ratio of benzoic acid (expressed in the total amount of the mother liquor or the total weight of the crystal in each case). Usually, the crystal/mother liquid removal amount is 90% by weight or more, and preferably % Above 70% by weight, or 97% by weight or 98% by weight or 99% by weight, is sufficient to determine ABZA (the effect of residual moisture content on the crystal is negligible, slightly). A center of greater than or equal to 15 is expressed in acrylic acid crystals. Formation Substantially no benzoic acid enters the crystal. This is the basis for the significant efficiency of the process of the invention. When the secondary components of acrylic acid are diacrylic acid (aDA), acetic acid (aAA) and propionic acid (APA), the corresponding loss factor is usually It is a value less than or equal to 1 。. In other words, it also enters the acrylic crystal, and only 1 惶 can be extracted from the crystals by, for example, difficulty in proper washing. 125528.doc -11- 200838848 In other words, use The crystallization process generally requires the use of a less efficient and costly multistage crystallization process from the removal of such impurities from acrylic acid, such as, for example, the multi-stage combination of dynamic and static crystallization as suggested in EP-A 616 998. And also requires a multi-stage process, at least one dynamic crystallizer and at least one static crystallizer. Optimally, acrylic acid is formed under special constraints of crystallization (see, in particular, WO 03/078378 and WO 〇 1/77056) The crystals, which are subsequently washed with a pure acrylic acid melt, remove the acetic acid and propionic acid in the crystals quite effectively. The larger the ABZA, the more benzene is removed by crystallization. The acid process is more attractive. In view of the above experiments, the process of the present invention can be used in the formation of acrylic acid suitable for superabsorbent, which crystallizes the crystal with a pre-purified acrylic melt after the crystallization stage, and can be substantially moved in large quantities. In addition to the liquid phase p*, the benzoic acid impurity which hinders the use is used. In the far document, the term "acrylic acid as the main product" and, as a by-product of benzoic acid, are only meant to be part of the oxidation reaction product gas mixture. The acrylic acid content is significantly higher than the stupid acid. In other words, acrylic acid is the desired target product of the partial oxidation reaction, and benzoic acid is a substantially undesirable by-product. The method according to the invention is particularly suitable for the acrylic acid content. It is at least 85 • weight % ' or at least 90% by weight, or at least 95% by weight, or at least 96% by weight, or at least 97% by weight. /.

The liquid phase p* treated by Wang Jiaxi and Right + according to the present invention may also not contain any benzoic acid. The method of the invention allows the crystallization removal method (the removal of the liquid phase far mother liquid is at least partially recycled to - the recording of the liquid phase p* to obtain at least two of the liquid phase p* from the liquid phase p == and 7 or Recycling to a gas phase partial oxidation anti-P (usually in the (four) smear of the (four) acid and stupid 1 combination into a liquid phase, in the use of the separation of the inclusion of the separation of the method, according to The method of the present invention is particularly effective. Γ: Γ吏: a specific crystal separation method and a non-specific separation method, a heterogeneously catalyzed partial gas phase oxidation reaction of a product gas mixture to obtain a liquid phase Ν DE-A It is known from 19606877. The composition of the phase formed by the method of separation of non-specific separation methods from the non-specific separation method is: , = product and in the mixture of the process and the mixture to be separated. The composition of doc -13- 200838848 has a significant correlation with the knife away, and the composition of the crystallization treatment method of the present invention is substantially independent of the composition of the liquid phase p* (ideally all independent) The surname is a special knife-off method. In other words, at the knot In the specific separation method, the thermal force 'achieves the separation effect, and the _立早_balance is enough to point, y η in the non-special knife separation method, the thermodynamics view ^ /, ', . See: M^Cabe-Tluele separation stage) in order to produce significant separation. If a combination of Terry's hodgepodge method and at least one non-specific separation method is widely used, operation In this process, since the mother liquor is rich in benzoic acid, the benzoic acid will accumulate in the liquid phase P* 2 to be treated according to the invention due to the recycling of the mother liquor, so that the method according to the invention has an important importance in this respect. Even a relatively low benzoic acid content in the product gas mixture of the heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase oxidation reaction of Deng's injury may gradually become a serious problem, and = Zhiwei #辑本发(四) found to be regularly cut or equal to 15 ( And the method is mainly for processing. In the case that the loss coefficient Abza is less than 15, the process and the hands will be extremely low as described above. Especially in the industrial regulations, the required efficiency can only be based on the levy: According to the method of the invention, Abza is regularly greater than or equal to 15. However, based on the purpose of increasing the yield, when the mother liquor obtained in the method according to the invention is further crystallized or when the same is treated, The facts just mentioned are also applicable when the secondary stream of the package 3 benzoic acid produced in the non-specific separation is also applicable. The liquid phase P* crystallization treatment method of the present invention is not limited in principle, including for removing crystals from the mother liquor. The method (which can be used in all of the mother liquor/crystal removal methods detailed in the prior art reference 125528.doc 200838848):: it can be carried out continuously or in batches in multiple stages: Performed by fractional crystallization. Generally, the Γ::: produces a higher purity than the supplied liquid phase P' (especially not all of the phases of the acrylic crystal are called the stripping stage.... mountain p "all other stages, = segment; suitably, the multi-stage method is carried out by the principle of countercurrent... After crystallization in each stage, the crystal is removed from the mother liquor, and the particular segment of the crystal is fed second to the highest purity, and the specific stage: The quality is fed in the next lowest purity. - Generally speaking, the temperature of the liquid phase during crystallization removal is between _25 and C, especially between +^ and ^ it. The method according to the invention can be carried out by layered crystallization (see, DE-A 2,606,364, ep_a 616,998, Ep_A 6 and 776,875). In this crystallization method, the crystal system is in the form of a continuous stable adhesion layer. Like the precipitation. The residual (four) body (mother liquor) is separated by the residual nutrient simply flowing out. In principle, the static "stratified crystallization method and "dynamic" layered crystallization method The difference between the liquid phase p* dynamic 曰 layered crystallization method The forced convection of the liquid phase p* can be achieved by introducing the liquid phase P* into the liquid phase by means of a spray film in a complete flow through the tube, for example according to EP-A 616998, or by introducing an inert gas into the liquid phase. In p* or by pulsed introduction, a pumping cycle is achieved. In the static method, the liquid phase P* is at rest (for example, in a tube bundle or plate heat exchanger) and because the temperature on the secondary side is slow Lower layer deposition. Thereafter, the residual melt (mother liquor) is discharged, and the fraction with higher impurity content oozes out from the crystal layer due to the slowly increasing temperature of 125528.doc •15-200838848, and then the pure product is completely melted ( See, WO 01/77056). However, according to the invention, the crystallization step of the invention is preferably in accordance with WO 01/77056, WO 02/055469 and WO 03/ in the case of all liquid phases P* described in the document. The teaching of 078378 is carried out by suspension crystallization. Generally, the content of acrylic acid crystals and benzoic acid in the liquid phase P* and the benzoic acid content lower than the liquid phase P* to be purified is higher than the liquid phase P* to be purified. Residual residual melt (mother liquor) (phase based on a specific total amount) A crystalline suspension containing suspended acrylic crystals is obtained. The acrylic crystals can be grown directly in the suspension and/or deposited layer by layer on the cooled wall, which can then be scraped off and resuspended in the residual melt (mother liquor). All suspension crystallizers and suspension crystallization detailed in WO 01/7705 6, WO 02/05 5469, WO 03/078378 and in Research Disclosure Library No. 496005 (published in August 2005) can be used in accordance with the present invention. method. In general, the resulting acrylic crystal suspension has a solids content of from 20% to 40% by weight. Furthermore, all of the methods detailed in the above WO publication are suitable for separating the formed suspended crystals and residual mother liquor (e.g., mechanical separation methods such as centrifugation). According to the invention it is preferred to separate in the wash column. It is preferred to forcibly transport a wash column for depositing acrylic crystals. The volume fraction of crystals in the crystal bed generally reaches a value greater than 〇 · 5 . In general, the wash column operates at a value between 0.6 and 0.75. The washing liquid used is preferably a melt of acrylic crystals previously purified (removed) in a washing column. This washing method is usually carried out in a countercurrent form. The process according to the invention thus comprises in particular a process comprising the following steps 125528.doc -16 - 200838848: a) separating the acrylic acid from the residual phase of the liquid phase from the liquid phase P*) b) self-retaining mother liquor (residual melting) a liquid body; at least partially melting the removed acrylic acid crystals and at least partially recycling the molten acrylic crystals to step b) and/or step d)

In this document, it is generally understood that the inert gases are generally maintained at least 95 moles/〇 without chemical changes during the partial oxidation reaction. The degree of gas is preferably at least 97 mol%, and most preferably reaches 99 mol% or more than 99 mol%.

The operating pressure in the partial oxidation reaction of the present invention is generally lower than the standard pressure (for example, up to 0.5) Atmospheric pressure; inhaling the reaction gas mixture) or higher Quasi-pressure. Typically, the operating pressure will be from atmospheric pressure to 5 atmospheres, often from 1.5 atmospheres to 3.5 atmospheres. The operating pressure in the partial oxidation reaction of the present invention typically does not exceed 1 Torr. The available source of molecular oxygen required as an oxidant in the process is air or air without molecular nitrogen. The catalyst generally used in the partial oxidation of propylene (formation of acrolein) or acrolein (formation of acrylic acid) of the present invention should be used. The selectivity to form the target product (acrolein or acrylic acid) is greater than or equal to 83 mol%, often greater than or equal to 85 mol%, or greater than or equal to 88 mol%, often greater than or equal to x mol%, or greater than Or equal to 93% by mole or 93% by mole or more.

In principle, the organic content of the components in the liquid phase P* can be determined by gas chromatography. When partial oxidation is carried out in accordance with the invention to convert acrylic acid and benzoic acid in the product gas mixture to liquid phase P, absorption and/or condensation measures can in principle be used. 'Examples of absorbents that may be used include water, aqueous solutions (such aqueous solutions may include, for example, 0.1% to 10% by weight acetic acid, 0.1% to 5% by weight of acrylic acid, and 80% to 99.8% by weight of water) And/or organic (especially hydrophobic) solvents (for example, diphenyl ether, diphenyl phthalate and/or dimethyl phthalate). Prior to absorption, the product gas mixture of the partial oxidation reaction may also be cooled directly and/or indirectly, as far as the application is concerned. Suitable absorption and/or condensation methods according to the invention are, for example, in the documents DE-A 10336386, WO 01/96271, DE-A 19631645, DE-A 19501325, EP-A 982289, DE-A 19838845, WO • 02 /076917, EP-A 1695954, EP-A 695736, EP-A 778225, EP-A 1041062, EP-A 982287, EP-A 982288, US 2004/0242826, EP-A 792867, EP-A 784046, EP- A, 695736, EP-A 1125912, EP-A 1 388 533, and in the documents referred to in this document, which are incorporated herein by reference. However, the acrylic acid and benzoic acid in the product gas mixture can also be liquefied, for example, by condensing a component having a boiling point higher than that of the water in the product gas mixture. The absorption and condensation conversion method of converting acrylic acid and benzoic acid into liquid phase P is the same as that of 125528.doc -28 * 200838848 which forms a liquid phase P* conversion method, usually including separating the internal filling material (to increase the parental exchange surface area). Performed in a separation column. They can also overlap each other using absorption and condensation methods. Suitable separation columns for the above-mentioned absorption and/or condensation methods are disclosed in particular in DE-A 10 336 386, EP-A 1125912 and US 2004/0242826 A1. Useful separation fills are in principle shameless discs (such as blister trays, double flow discs or valve discs), random packings (for example, Raschig rings) (for example, blister trays, double-flow discs or valve discs), which are known to have separation activity. Raschig ring)) or structured packing (such as 'Sulzer packing') as a separate fill. In the separation column, the product gas mixture that is subjected to the partial oxidation reaction (pre-cooled if appropriate) is generally directed upward from the bottom in a rising manner. In the absorption condensation method, the absorbent in the separation column is usually moved (guided) downward from the top. The liquid phase P* comprising acrylic acid and benzoic acid can be discharged from the separation column, in a suitable manner from the point of view of the liquid side extractor from the bottom of the liquid column or via the feed of the product gas mixture which has been previously cooled first. discharge. At least one thermal separation method is employed, followed by removal of the lower boiling point (at atmospheric pressure) than the benzoic acid and acrylic acid components from the liquid phase p. Advantageously, in accordance with the present invention, at least one thermal separation process is employed to cause the discharged low boiling point compounds to capture components which are pure in the liquid phase P and which have a boiling point less than or equal to the boiling point of water under atmospheric dust. The thermal separation process employed is particularly advantageous for stripping gases (e.g., air, molecular nitrogen, or other gases). 125528.doc -29- 200838848 For this purpose, the gas is directed through the liquid phase p (advantageous from the point of view of application in a countercurrent manner in a separation column comprising separated internal packing) and is present therein The low-fool point component is stripped from the liquid phase P. In order to achieve this, it is preferred to heat the liquid phase P in advance. Stripping is suitably carried out at an operating pressure below atmospheric pressure. Due to the latter measures, stripping has an additional desorption effect. It will be appreciated that desorption can also be used alone to remove low boiling compounds.

Particularly when the separation line is fixed at the boiling point of water, it is suitable to carry out a rectification method to remove at least a part of the low boiling point compound in the azeotropic distillation method. Examples of suitable entraining agents at this time include heptane, dimercaptocyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, toluene, ethylbenzene, octane, chlorobenzene, xylene or a mixture thereof (for example, containing 60% by weight of toluene and 4〇% by weight of the mixture of heptane).
