Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid [(meth) acrylic acid].
- (Meth) acrylic acid esters are generally produced on an industrial scale by esterifying (meth) acrylic acid with alkanols in the presence of strong acids as esterification catalysts (e.g. a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, alkanesulfonic acids or arylsulfonic acids).
- esterification catalysts e.g. a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, alkanesulfonic acids or arylsulfonic acids.
- the content of the catalysts in the esterification mixture can range from a tenth of a percent to several percent.
- polybasic mineral acids are used as the catalyst, the mineral acid is easily esterified with the alkanol present to form the monoester, which is the actual esterification catalyst. After the esterification has ended, the reaction mixture contains a relatively large amount of this monoester.
- the acids used as catalysts and their esters which may have formed must be removed from the reaction mixture before further processing. This is usually achieved by washing out and neutralizing the reaction mixture with alkali and alkaline earth metal lye or carbonate solutions. This results in waste water, the elimination of which is complex and polluting.
- sulfuric acid is used as the catalyst, the monoester of sulfuric acid with the alkanol in question is predominantly formed, as mentioned.
- the salts of the sulfuric acid monoesters, in particular the esters with higher alkanols are surface-active and, when disposed of, would significantly impair the quality of the waste water from the process and cause a not inconsiderable loss of valuable product. The recovery and recycling of the catalyst is therefore desirable for economic and ecological reasons.
- EP-A-0 609 127 describes a process for the preparation of (meth) acrylic esters, the alcohol component being formed from the corresponding sulfuric acid monoester, which is formed in the esterification from sulfuric acid and the alcohol, by acidic hydrocarbons. lysis is recovered. This process is complex, polluting and uneconomical.
- CZ-B-179 808 describes a process for the recovery of mineral acids from esterification mixtures by extracting the esterification mixture with water, concentrating the aqueous phase by distillation and recycling the concentrated aqueous catalyst solution thus obtained into the esterification reaction. This process is energy intensive.
- EP-A-0 618 187 ( ⁇ US-A-5, 386, 052) describes a process for the preparation of (meth) acrylic esters, the catalyst being extracted with water and the extract, if appropriate after distillative concentration, being returned to the esterification reaction. to be led.
- sulfuric acid is unsuitable as a catalyst because of the poor extractability of the sulfuric acid monoalkyl ester, because the large amount of water which would be necessary for adequate extraction of the sulfuric acid monoalkyl ester would adversely affect the esterification reaction.
- Alkyl or arylsulfonic acids are therefore used as catalysts (column 2, lines 55ff), which are, however, considerably more expensive than sulfuric acid.
- the invention is based on the object of developing a technically simple and economical process for the preparation of (meth) acrylic esters which manages with sulfuric acid as the esterification catalyst and which allows the esterification catalyst (sulfuric acid or monoalkylsulfuric acid) to be obtained as simply and completely as possible Separate the reaction mixture.
- the catalyst should be direct, i.e. without additional distillative concentration, be traceable to the esterification without influencing the esterification.
- the catalyst can be extracted from the reaction mixture (esterification mixture) if the alkanol content in the mixture is at most 5% by weight.
- the invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of (meth) acrylic acid esters by reacting (meth) acrylic acid with C 4 -C alkanols, preferably C 4 -C alkanols, particularly preferably C 4 -C 8 alkanols in the presence of sulfuric acid or a sulfuric acid mono-C 4 -C 2 alkyl ester as a catalyst, which is characterized in that the catalyst is regenerated from the reaction mixture by extraction with water and the aqueous catalyst solution is returned to the esterification, the concentration of unreacted alkanol in the extra- reaction mixture here is at most 5% by weight, based on the reaction mixture to be extracted.
- the alkanol content has a major influence on the extractability of the monoalkyl sulfuric acid formed from sulfuric acid and alkanol, which acts as the actual esterification catalyst (see Table 1).
- the catalyst can be extracted with small amounts of water, so that the extract can be returned directly to the esterification.
- a reaction mixture whose alkanol content is ⁇ 3% by weight and in particular ⁇ 1% by weight is preferably extracted.
- a high esterification conversion is preferably brought about, e.g. by distilling off the water of reaction; and / or a suitable ratio of the starting materials selected. If the residual alkanol content is still more than 5% by weight, the alkanol is distilled off in a conventional distillation apparatus (e.g. column with sieve plates, Raschig rings, aligned packs, etc.).
- a conventional distillation apparatus e.g. column with sieve plates, Raschig rings, aligned packs, etc.
- the distillation is carried out in a conventional manner; the distillation conditions depend on the type of alkanol used.
- the alkanol is preferably distilled off to a level of residual alkanol in the reaction mixture, which enables the extraction of the catalyst (sulfuric acid) with water without problems.
- the residual alkanol content is 5 5% by weight, preferably ⁇ 3% by weight, particularly preferably ⁇ 1% by weight, based on the reaction mixture.
- the conditions for the extraction of the catalyst from the esterification mixture are preferably selected such that the catalyst concentration (sulfuric acid and sulfuric acid monoalkyl ester) in the aqueous phase is at least 20% by weight, in particular at least 25% by weight, based on the aqueous Extract, and the degree of extraction is at least 70% by weight, in particular at least 80% by weight, based on the amount of catalyst in the reaction mixture.
- the first held extract can be returned to the esterification without concentrating it.
- the extraction can be carried out in a manner known per se.
- Preferably extracted in countercurrent e.g. in columns without energy input, pulsed columns, columns with inserts, mixer-settler equipment or in static mixers.
- the extraction can be carried out at ambient temperature or a higher temperature, but expediently at a temperature in the range from about 15 to 40 ° C.
- the esterification is carried out substantially in a conventional manner, ie by reaction of (meth) acrylic acid with a C 4 -C 2 ⁇ A lkanol in the presence of a catalyst and at elevated temperature.
- the molar ratio of alkanol: acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is generally 1: 0.8-1.2.
- C 4 -C 2 _ alkanols are, for example, pentanol, hexanol, heptanol, octanol, 2-Ethylhexa- nol, nonanol, 2-propylheptanol, decanol, undecanol, dodecanol, and preferably butanols, particularly n-butanol.
- the sulfuric acid concentration in the reaction mixture is generally 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, based on the total batch.
- polymerization inhibitors e.g. Phenothiazine, hydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether or mixtures thereof and optionally air (0.1 to 10 1 / h ⁇ 1) in an amount of 100 to 5000 ppm, based on the reaction mixture.

- the pressure is preferably set such that the water formed distills off during the esterification, for example in the form of a mixture of water, C 4 -C 14 -alkanol and ester (the organic components are fed back to the esterification.
- the esterification can be continuous or discontinuous be carried out, the continuous reaction is preferred.
- the esterification is carried out in conventional equipment, e.g. in an esterification unit from one or more heatable stirred reactors (cascade), which are optionally equipped with columns, condensers and phase separation vessels.
- the reactor contents are mixed by stirring or other customary and suitable measures.
