Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for chlorohydrin.
- the present invention relates more specifically to a process for preparing a chlorohydrin by reacting polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon with a chlorinating agent.
- Chlorohydrins are reaction intermediates in the preparation of epoxides.
- Dichloropropanol for example, is a reaction intermediate in the preparation of epichlorohydrin and of epoxy resins (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition, 1992, Vol. 2, page 156, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
- dichloropropanol in particular by hypochlorinating allyl chloride, by chlorinating allyl alcohol and by hydrochlorinating glycerol.
- This latter process has the advantage that the dichloropropanol can be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or from renewable raw materials, and it is known that natural petrochemical resources, from which the fossil materials are obtained, such as petroleum, natural gas or coal, for example, are limited in their terrestrial availability.
- the objective of the invention is to provide a process for preparing a chloroalcohol or chlorohydrin that does not exhibit these drawbacks.
- the invention accordingly provides a process for preparing a chlorohydrin by reacting a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof with a chlorinating agent in a reactor which is supplied with one or more liquid streams containing less than 50% by weight of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof relative to the weight of the entirety of the liquid streams introduced into the reactor.
- the liquid stream or streams contain often less than 40% by weight of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof, relative to the weight of the entirety of the liquid streams introduced into the reactor, frequently less than 30% by weight, specifically less than 20% by weight and more specifically less than 10% by weight.
- the process for preparing a chlorohydrin according to the invention preferably comprises the following steps:
- step (c) offers the following advantages among others:
- polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon refers to a hydrocarbon which contains at least two hydroxyl groups attached to two different saturated carbon atoms.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may contain, but is not limited to, from 2 to 60 carbon atoms.
- Each of the carbons of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon bearing the hydroxyl functional group (OH) cannot possess more than one OH group and must have sp3 hybridization.
- the carbon atom carrying the OH group may be primary, secondary or tertiary.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention must contain at least two sp3-hybridized carbon atoms carrying an OH group.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon includes any hydrocarbon containing a vicinal diol (1,2-diol) or a vicinal triol (1,2,3-triol), including the higher, vicinal or contiguous orders of these repeating units.
- the definition of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon also includes, for example, one or more 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5- and 1,6-diol functional groups.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may also be a polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol. Geminal diols, for example, are excluded from this class of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons may contain aromatic moieties or heteroatoms, including, for example, heteroatoms of halogen, sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon and boron type, and mixtures thereof.
- Polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons which can be used in the present invention comprise, for example, 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol), 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), 1,3-propanediol, 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, cyclohexanediols, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,2,3-propanetriol (also known as “glycerol” or “glycerin”), and mixtures thereof.
- 1,2-ethanediol ethylene glycol
- 1,2-propanediol propylene glycol
- 1,3-propanediol 1,3-prop
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. More preferably the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. 1,2,3-Propanetriol or glycerol is the most preferred.
- esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be present in the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or may be produced in the process for preparing the chlorohydrin and/or may be prepared prior to the process for preparing the chlorohydrin.
- esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprise ethylene glycol monoacetate, propanediol monoacetates, glycerol monoacetates, glycerol monostearates, glycerol diacetates and mixtures thereof.
- chlorohydrin is used here in order to describe a compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one chlorine atom attached to different saturated carbon atoms.
- a chlorohydrin which contains at least two hydroxyl groups is also a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Accordingly the starting material and the product of the reaction may each be chlorohydrins. In that case the “product” chlorohydrin is more chlorinated than the starting chlorohydrin, in other words has more chlorine atoms and fewer hydroxyl groups than the starting chlorohydrin.
- Preferred chlorohydrins are chloroethanol, chloropropanol, chloropropanediol, dichloropropanol and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- Chlorohydrins which are more particularly preferred are 2-chloroethanol, 1-chloropropan-2-ol, 2-chloropropan-1-ol, 1-chloropropane-2,3-diol, 2-chloropropane-1,3-diol, 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol, 2,3-dichloropropan-1-ol and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated hydrocarbon, or mixtures thereof in the process according to the invention may be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or starting from renewable raw materials, preferably starting from renewable raw materials.
- fossil raw materials materials obtained from the processing of petrochemical natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas and coal, for example. Among these materials preference is given to organic compounds containing 2 and 3 carbon atoms.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is glycerol, allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and “synthetic” glycerol are particularly preferred.
- synthetic glycerol is meant a glycerol generally obtained from petrochemical resources.
- the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is ethylene glycol
- ethylene and “synthetic” ethylene glycol are particularly preferred.

- polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is propylene glycol
- propylene and “synthetic” propylene glycol are particularly preferred.
- synthetic propylene glycol is meant a propylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources.
- renewable raw materials materials obtained from the processing of renewable natural resources.
- materials preference is given to “natural” ethylene glycol, “natural” propylene glycol and “natural” glycerol.
- Natural ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol are obtained for example by conversion of sugars by thermochemical processes, it being possible for these sugars to be obtained starting from biomass, as described in “Industrial Bioproducts: Today and Tomorrow”, Energetics, Incorporated for the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of the Biomass Program, July 2003, pages 49, 52 to 56.
- One of these processes is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of sorbitol obtained by thermochemical conversion of glucose.
- Another process is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of xylitol obtained by hydrogenation of xylose.
- the xylose may for example be obtained by hydrolysis of the hemicellulose present in maize fibres.
- naturally glycerol or “glycerol obtained from renewable raw materials” is meant, in particular, glycerol obtained during the production of biodiesel or else glycerol obtained during conversions of animal or vegetable oils or fats in general, such as saponification, transesterification or hydrolysis reactions.
- oils which can be used to prepare natural glycerol mention may be made of all common oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, copra oil, babassu oil, former or new (low erucic acid) colza oil, sunflower oil, maize oil, castor oil and cotton oil, peanut oil, soya bean oil, linseed oil and crambe oil, and all oils obtained, for example, from sunflower plants or colza plants obtained by genetic modification or hybridization.
- oils which have been partly modified by means, for example, of polymerization or oligomerization, such as, for example, the “stand oils” of linseed oil and of sunflower oil, and blown vegetable oils.
- a particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal fats. Another particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the production of biodiesel.
- a third, very suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal or vegetable oils or fats by transesterification in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, as described in documents FR 2752242, FR 2869612 and FR 2869613. More specifically, the heterogeneous catalyst is selected from mixed oxides of aluminium and zinc, mixed oxides of zinc and titanium, mixed oxides of zinc, titanium and aluminium, and mixed oxides of bismuth and aluminium, and the heterogeneous catalyst is employed in the form of a fixed bed. This latter process can be a process for producing biodiesel.

Description
- The present patent application claims the benefit of patent application FR 05.05120 and of patent application EP 05104321.4, both filed on 20 May 2005, and of provisional U.S. patent applications 60/734659, 60/734627, 60/734657, 60/734658, 60/734635, 60/734634, 60/734637 and 60/734636, all filed on 8 Nov. 2005, the content of all of which is incorporated here by reference.
- The present invention relates to a process for chlorohydrin. The present invention relates more specifically to a process for preparing a chlorohydrin by reacting polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon with a chlorinating agent.
- Chlorohydrins are reaction intermediates in the preparation of epoxides. Dichloropropanol, for example, is a reaction intermediate in the preparation of epichlorohydrin and of epoxy resins (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition, 1992, Vol. 2, page 156, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
- According to known processes it is possible to obtain dichloropropanol in particular by hypochlorinating allyl chloride, by chlorinating allyl alcohol and by hydrochlorinating glycerol. This latter process has the advantage that the dichloropropanol can be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or from renewable raw materials, and it is known that natural petrochemical resources, from which the fossil materials are obtained, such as petroleum, natural gas or coal, for example, are limited in their terrestrial availability.
- International application WO 2005/021476 describes a process for preparing dichloropropanol by reacting glycerol with gaseous hydrogen chloride in the presence of acetic acid as catalyst. A mixture containing the dichloropropanol produced, the water of reaction and the residue hydrogen chloride is separated by distillation. Application WO 2005/054167 of SOLVAY SA describes a process for preparing dichloropropanol by reacting glycerol with hydrogen chloride in the presence of another catalyst such as adipic acid. A mixture of water, dichloropropanol and hydrogen chloride is likewise separated by distillation. In both processes the presence of hydrogen chloride in the distillate may be a source of losses of this reagent and of corrosion problems associated with the presence of potentially corrosive liquid phases.
- The objective of the invention is to provide a process for preparing a chloroalcohol or chlorohydrin that does not exhibit these drawbacks.
- The invention accordingly provides a process for preparing a chlorohydrin by reacting a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof with a chlorinating agent in a reactor which is supplied with one or more liquid streams containing less than 50% by weight of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof relative to the weight of the entirety of the liquid streams introduced into the reactor.
- The liquid stream or streams contain often less than 40% by weight of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof, relative to the weight of the entirety of the liquid streams introduced into the reactor, frequently less than 30% by weight, specifically less than 20% by weight and more specifically less than 10% by weight.
- The process for preparing a chlorohydrin according to the invention preferably comprises the following steps:
- (a) a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof is reacted with a chlorinating agent so as to give at least one mixture containing the chlorohydrin, water and chlorinating agent
- (b) at least a fraction of the mixture formed in step (a) is withdrawn
- (c) the fraction withdrawn in step (b) is subjected to a distillation and/or stripping operation in which polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is added so as to separate, from the fraction withdrawn in step (b), a mixture containing water and the chlorohydrin that has a reduced chlorinating agent content as compared with that of the fraction withdrawn in step (b).
- It has been found that the addition of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon to step (c) offers the following advantages among others:
- 1) the maintenance of the chlorinating agent in the mixture of step (a), with a simultaneous increase in the yield of the reaction forming the chlorohydrin
- 2) an equivalent separation efficiency energy gain by virtue of reduced reflux of water in the distillation and/or stripping column
- 3) reduced corrosiveness of the liquid phases obtained after condensation of the mixture from step (c).
- The term “polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon” refers to a hydrocarbon which contains at least two hydroxyl groups attached to two different saturated carbon atoms. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may contain, but is not limited to, from 2 to 60 carbon atoms.
- Each of the carbons of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon bearing the hydroxyl functional group (OH) cannot possess more than one OH group and must have sp3 hybridization. The carbon atom carrying the OH group may be primary, secondary or tertiary. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention must contain at least two sp3-hybridized carbon atoms carrying an OH group. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon includes any hydrocarbon containing a vicinal diol (1,2-diol) or a vicinal triol (1,2,3-triol), including the higher, vicinal or contiguous orders of these repeating units. The definition of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon also includes, for example, one or more 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5- and 1,6-diol functional groups.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may also be a polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol. Geminal diols, for example, are excluded from this class of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons may contain aromatic moieties or heteroatoms, including, for example, heteroatoms of halogen, sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon and boron type, and mixtures thereof.
- Polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons which can be used in the present invention comprise, for example, 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol), 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), 1,3-propanediol, 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, cyclohexanediols, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,2,3-propanetriol (also known as “glycerol” or “glycerin”), and mixtures thereof. With preference the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. More preferably the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. 1,2,3-Propanetriol or glycerol is the most preferred.
- The esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be present in the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or may be produced in the process for preparing the chlorohydrin and/or may be prepared prior to the process for preparing the chlorohydrin. Examples of esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprise ethylene glycol monoacetate, propanediol monoacetates, glycerol monoacetates, glycerol monostearates, glycerol diacetates and mixtures thereof.
- The term “chlorohydrin” is used here in order to describe a compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one chlorine atom attached to different saturated carbon atoms. A chlorohydrin which contains at least two hydroxyl groups is also a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Accordingly the starting material and the product of the reaction may each be chlorohydrins. In that case the “product” chlorohydrin is more chlorinated than the starting chlorohydrin, in other words has more chlorine atoms and fewer hydroxyl groups than the starting chlorohydrin. Preferred chlorohydrins are chloroethanol, chloropropanol, chloropropanediol, dichloropropanol and mixtures of at least two thereof. Dichloropropanol is particularly preferred. Chlorohydrins which are more particularly preferred are 2-chloroethanol, 1-chloropropan-2-ol, 2-chloropropan-1-ol, 1-chloropropane-2,3-diol, 2-chloropropane-1,3-diol, 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol, 2,3-dichloropropan-1-ol and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated hydrocarbon, or mixtures thereof in the process according to the invention may be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or starting from renewable raw materials, preferably starting from renewable raw materials.
- By fossil raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of petrochemical natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas and coal, for example. Among these materials preference is given to organic compounds containing 2 and 3 carbon atoms. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is glycerol, allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and “synthetic” glycerol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” glycerol is meant a glycerol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is ethylene glycol, ethylene and “synthetic” ethylene glycol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” ethylene glycol is meant an ethylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is propylene glycol, propylene and “synthetic” propylene glycol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” propylene glycol is meant a propylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources.
- By renewable raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of renewable natural resources. Among these materials preference is given to “natural” ethylene glycol, “natural” propylene glycol and “natural” glycerol. “Natural” ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol are obtained for example by conversion of sugars by thermochemical processes, it being possible for these sugars to be obtained starting from biomass, as described in “Industrial Bioproducts: Today and Tomorrow”, Energetics, Incorporated for the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of the Biomass Program, July 2003, pages 49, 52 to 56. One of these processes is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of sorbitol obtained by thermochemical conversion of glucose. Another process is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of xylitol obtained by hydrogenation of xylose.
