Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to a carbonylation process and in particular to a carbonylation process for the production of acetic acid and/or acetic anhydride in the presence of a Group VIII metal carbonylation catalyst, a halogen- containing co-catalyst, and a finite concentration of water.
- a Group VIII metal carbonylation catalyst a halogen-containing co-catalyst
- a finite concentration of water a finite concentration of water.
- acetic acid is produced by the carbonylation in the liquid phase of methanol and/or a reactive derivative thereof in the presence of a rhodium - or an indium - containing carbonylation catalyst, an iodine-containing co-catalyst, a finite concentration of water, and optionally, a promoter are operated on a commercial scale.
- the continuous rhodium-catalysed, homogeneous methanol carbonylation process is said to consist of three basic sections; reaction, purification and off-gas treatment.
- the reaction section comprises a stirred tank reactor, operated at elevated temperature and pressure, and a flash vessel. Liquid reaction composition is withdrawn from the reactor and is passed through a flashing valve to the flash tank where the majority of the lighter components of the liquid reaction composition (methyl iodide, methyl acetate and water) together with product acetic acid are vaporised.
- the vapour fraction is then passed to the purification section whilst the liquid fraction (comprising the rhodium catalyst in acetic acid) is recycled to the reactor (as shown in Figure 2 of Howard et al).
- the purification section is said to comprise a first distillation column (the light ends column), a second distillation column (the drying column) and a third distillation column (the heavy ends column) (as in Figure 3 of Howard et al).
- a first distillation column the light ends column
- the drying column the drying column
- the heavy ends column the heavy ends column
- methyl iodide and methyl acetate are removed overhead along with some water and acetic acid.
- the vapour is condensed and allowed to separate into two phases in a decanter, both phases being returned to the reactor.
- acetic anhydride by carbonylation is known from, for example, GB-A-1468940 which discloses the two-stage production of an anhydride of a monocarboxylic acid by reacting a carboxylate ester satisfying the formula RCOOR or an ether satisfying the formula ROR with an acyl halide satisfying the formula RCOX, formed in situ or in a separate stage, under substantially anhydrous conditions, wherein X is iodide or bromide, the Rs may be the same or different and each R is a monovalent hydrocarbyl radical or a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical wherein the or each substituent is inert.
- the acyl halide may be produced by carbonylation of a halide satisfying the formula RX at super atmospheric pressure, R being as hereinbefore defined, and the carbonylation may be effected in the presence as catalyst of a Group VIII noble metal, and optionally a promoter.
- RX a halide satisfying the formula RX at super atmospheric pressure
- R being as hereinbefore defined
- the carbonylation may be effected in the presence as catalyst of a Group VIII noble metal, and optionally a promoter.
- GB-A- 1468940 it is important that the carbonylation reaction should be carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions.
- acetic anhydride can be produced with or without the net co-production of acetic acid.
- EP-A-87870 discloses a process for the production of acetic anhydride with or without the net co- production of acetic acid from methanol and carbon monoxide in a series of esterification, carbonylation and separation steps comprising:- (1) reacting methanol with recycle acetic acid in an esterification step to form an esterification product containing predominantly methyl acetate, water and optionally unreacted methanol,
- the carbonylatable reactant in carbonylation processes for the production of acetic acid there is used methanol and/or a reactive derivative thereof which is, for example, either methyl acetate, dimethyl ether, or methyl iodide.
- methyl acetate is formed in situ by the reaction of methanol with acetic acid present in the liquid reaction composition either by way of solvent for the carbonylation or by way of the product of carbonylation, methyl acetate is a carbonylatable reactant of choice for the production of acetic acid.
- the carbonylation reactant in the production of acetic anhydride by carbonylation there is generally used methyl acetate.
- the present invention provides a process for the production of acetic acid and/or acetic anhydride which process comprises carbonylating with carbon monoxide in a liquid reaction composition in a carbonylation reactor at least one methyl ester of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having a boiling point equal to or greater than the temperature of the carbonylation reaction in the presence of a Group VIII metal carbonylation catalyst, a hydrocarbyl halide co-catalyst and in the presence or absence of water.
- the carbonylation product comprises acetic anhydride.
- the carbonlylation product comprises acetic acid.
- Water may be introduced to the carbonylation reactor together with or separately from other components of the reaction composition. Water may be separated from other components of the reaction composition withdrawn from the reactor and may be recycled in controlled amounts to maintain the concentration of water in the liquid reaction composition.
- the water concentration in the liquid reaction composition for the production of acetic acid may be in the range from 0.1 to 15% by weight, preferably below 11% by weight, more preferably below 7% by weight.
- Esters suitable in the process have a boiling point equal to or greater than the carbonylation reaction temperature. Typically the reaction temperature is at least 100°C. Suitable methyl esters having a boiling point higher than methyl acetate may be selected from:-
- R is selected from (i) C 2 to C 3 o aliphatic hydrocarbyl groups and substituted derivatives thereof.
- R may also comprise an aromatic functionality provided the aromatic group and the ester functionality is separated by at least one aliphatic carbon moiety, for example methyl phenylacetate.
- R is an organic group
- X is either S, Se, P or As
- m is 0, 1 or 2
- n is either 1 or 2
- the C 2 to C 3 o hydrocarbyl group (i) may suitably be an alkyl group or an alkenyl group.
- Suitable alkyl groups may be linear or cyclic, branched or unbranched groups.
- the alkyl or alkenyl group may contain from 5 to 20 carbon atoms.
- suitable olefinically unsaturated esters include maleic acid esters, acrylic acid esters, and itaconic acid esters.
- n in the formula (I) is greater than 1, for example 2.
- Suitable esters of formula (I) wherein n is greater than 1 are for example dimethyl adipate, dimethyl succinate and dimethyl glutarate.
- An advantage of employing, for example, dimethyl succinate is that because of its higher density and hence higher moles of methyl per unit volume than methyl acetate it is possible to use less of it, thereby allowing more space in the reactor for acetic acid or acetic anhydride. Additionally an advantage of the esters is their reduced vapour pressure allowing a higher partial pressure of CO in the reactor.
- Suitable aromatic groups include C ⁇ -aryl groups which may be substituted with up to five substituents.
- Suitable substituents of the group R in the formula (I) include alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aroxy or carboxylate, and hydroxyl groups.
- the preferred ester is where R is C 3 and n is 2, namely dimethyl glutarate. In particular the use of dimethyl glutarate provides the advantage that it does not precipate out of solution.
- R may be independently the same as in the formula (I), including groups of the formula OR' wherein R' is a group as defined aforesaid.
- suitable polymeric materials include polymeric esters having a repeat unit which is: either [CH(CO 2 CH 3 )CH 2 ] m (III)
- m is in the range 50 to 500.
- suitable methyl esters of inorganic oxo-acids include trimethyl phosphate, trimethyl borate, dimethyl carbonate, and dimethyl sulphate.
- Suitable methyl esters having a boiling point equal to or greater than the carbonylation reaction temperature include methyl hexanoate, methyl octanoate, methyl decanoate, methyl-3-hydroxybenzoate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl succinate and dimethyl glutarate.
- the methyl ester may comprise substantially the whole of the carbonylatable reactant or it may be replaced in part by, for example, one or more of methanol, methyl acetate, and methyl iodide.
- the methyl ester is present at a concentration of from 0.1 to 40 weight percent, preferably from 10 to 30 weight percent.
- the replacement of methyl acetate by a methyl ester having a boiling point equal to or greater than the reaction temperature in the liquid carbonylation reactor composition can offer several advantages. Firstly, reducing the amount of volatile components in product distillation, for example with reference to Howard et al in the flashing section of the reactor section and the first distillation column of the purification section, will simplify the plant and its operation and thereby reduce costs. Secondly, by decreasing the partial pressure of ester reactant in the reaction mixture a higher partial pressure of carbon monoxide can be utilised, thereby giving higher catalyst activity at a given temperature, or a lower total reaction pressure may be employed if desired.
- the carbonylation is accomplished in the presence of a Group VIII metal carbonylation catalyst.
- Suitable metals of Group VIII include for example nickel, cobalt, and the noble metals.
- the carbonylation catalyst is a noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
- the Group VIII noble metal there may be used iridium, osmium, platinum, palladium, rhodium or ruthenium, preferably rhodium or iridium.
