Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of producing unsaturated aldehydes and unsaturated acids from olefins by catalytic vapor phase oxidation, particularly a process of producing acrolein and acrylic acid from propylene, as well as a heat exchanger-type reactor for use in such a process, particularly a fixed bed shell-and-tube heat exchanger-type reactor.
- the process of producing unsaturated aldehydes and unsaturated acids corresponds to typical catalytic vapor phase oxidation.
- catalytic vapor phase oxidation is carried out by charging one or more kinds of granular catalysts into a reactor tube (catalytic tube) , supplying feed gas into a reactor through a pipe, and contacting the feed gas with the catalyst in the reactor tube.
- Reaction heat generated during the reaction is removed by heat exchange with a heat transfer medium whose temperature is maintained at a predetermined temperature.
- the heat transfer medium for heat exchange is provided on the outer surface of the catalytic tube so as to perform heat transfer.
- the reaction mixture containing the desired product is collected and recovered through a pipe, and sent to a purification step.
- the catalytic vapor phase oxidation is a highly exothermic reaction, it is very important to control reaction temperature in a certain range and to reduce the size of the temperature peak at a hot spot occurring in a reaction zone. It is impossible to satisfactorily control reaction heat from the catalytic vapor phase oxidation only by uniform circulation of the heat transfer medium in the reactor, and the serious temperature peak at the hot spot mentioned above often occurs, causing excessive oxidation at local sites in the reactor. This results in an increase in an undesirable combustion reaction, thus reducing the yield of the desired product. In addition, the catalyst is always locally exposed to high temperature caused by the presence of the hot spot, thus reducing the life cycle of the catalyst.
- the partial oxidation of olefin uses a mixture of molybdenum and bismuth or vanadium oxide or mixed oxide thereof, as a catalyst.
- Typical examples thereof include a process for the production of acrolein or acrylic acid by the oxidation of propylene, a process for the production of phthalic anhydride by the partial oxidation of naphthalene or orthoxylene, and a process for the production of maleic anhydride by the partial oxidation of benzene, butylene or butadiene.
- acrylic acid, a final product is produced from propylene by a two-step process of vapor phase catalytic partial oxidation.
- the first step propylene is oxidized by oxygen, dilution inert gas, steam and a certain amount of a catalyst, so as to mainly produce acrolein
- the produced acrolein is oxidized by oxygen, inert dilution gas, steam and a certain amount of a catalyst, so as to produce acrylic acid.
- the catalyst used in the first step is a Mo-Bi-based oxidation catalyst which oxidizes propylene to mainly produce acrolein. Also, some acrolein is continuously oxidized on such a catalyst to produce acrylic acid.
- the catalyst used in the second step is a Mo-V-based oxidation catalyst which oxidizes acrolein, mainly producing acrylic acid.
- a reactor for performing such a process is provided either in such a manner that both the two-steps can be performed in one catalytic tube or in such a manner that the two steps can be performed in different catalytic tubes.
- US patent No. 4,256,783 discloses such a reactor.
- acrylic acid manufacturers now conduct diversified efforts either to improve the structure of such a reactor so as to increase the production of acrylic acid by the reactor, or to propose the most suitable catalyst to induce oxidation, or to improve process operations.
- propylene which is supplied into the reactor is used at high space velocity or high concentration.
- the control of the heat of reaction in the relevant reactor is important of all things. Particularly, not only the formation of hot spots in the catalytic layer but also the accumulation of heat around the hot spots must be inhibited, and the reactor must be effectively controlled such that the hot spots do not lead to reactor runaway (a state where the reactor is not controlled or explodes by a highly exothermic reaction) . Thus, it is very important to inhibit hot spots and heat accumulation around the hot spots so as to extend the life cycle of a catalyst and inhibit side reactions, thus increasing the yield of product such as acrylic acid. To achieve this inhibition, various attempts have been steadily made. A fundamental method is to form several catalyst layers having activities that vary according to the moving direction of reactants.
- Typical methods for controlling catalytic activity include: a method of making catalytic particles by mixing a catalytic material with inactive materials (e.g., US patent No. 3,801,634, Japanese patent No. 53-30688B, and Japanese patent No. 63-38831) ; a method of controlling activity and selectivity by either changing the kind of alkali metals and controlling the amount thereof (e.g., US patent No. 4,837,360); a method of controlling activity by adjusting the occupied volume of catalytic particles (e.g., US patent Nos.
- the catalytic vapor phase oxidation is an exothermic reaction which not only progresses at high temperature but also has excessive heat generation, it can cause a reduction in selectivity due to the generation of a hot spot with very high temperature around a reactor inlet or the accumulation of heat around the heat spot, and also can result in a significant reduction in the performance of a catalyst in a long-term viewpoint.
- the temperature of the hot spot is higher than the calcination temperature of the catalyst, the life cycle of the catalyst will be reduced to shorten the replacement time of the entire catalyst layers, resulting in an economical loss.

- Another object of the present invention is to provide a production process in which a reaction inhibition layer is inserted in order to facilitate the removal of heat generation at a location where the partition is placed, as well as a shell-and-tube heat exchanger-type reactor for use in this process.

- the temperature of the heat transfer media in the adjacent shell spaces in each of the reaction zones is preferably set to increase in an axial direction by a temperature difference of 0-50 °C, and more preferably 5-15
- axial direction As the temperature of the heat transfer medium filled in each of the shell spaces increase in the moving direction (hereafter, referred to as "axial direction") of reactants, the reactivity of the catalyst layer increases in the axial direction. If the temperature of the heat transfer medium in each of the shell spaces divided by the partition increases in the axial direction, a hot spot and heat accumulation around the hot spot can be inhibited. Since a reactor front portion with high reactant concentration and high reaction pressure has the highest reactivity, a hot spot with significantly high temperature is formed in the reactor front portion.
- the temperature of the heat transfer medium in a portion of the shell space which corresponds to a location where this hot spot is formed, is decreased to the lowest possible active temperature; the size of the hot spot can be reduced and heat accumulation around the hot spot can be prevented while causing no significant reduction in reactivity.
- the location of the partition is preferably established based on the exact prediction of a position where a hot spot is formed.
- a hot spot is produced by the generation of reaction heat resulting from catalytic vapor phase oxidation, and determined by the composition of reactants, the flow rate (L/min) of reactants, the temperature of a heat transfer medium, etc., and has a certain position and size in a certain process condition.
- the activity of a catalyst can change with time.

- a hot spot is the site of the maximum temperature peak, and each of catalyst layers generally has at least one hot spot. Also, it is preferred that the temperature of the heat

- T hl -T sa ⁇ t ⁇ is ⁇ 150 °C, and preferably T hl -T sa ⁇ t ⁇ is ⁇ 110 °C, and T ⁇ -T ⁇ itH s ⁇ 120 °C, and more preferably T ⁇ T S aitN is ⁇ 100 °C where N is an integer of 2 or more.

- T sa ⁇ t ⁇ is the temperature of a heat transfer medium (molten salt) filled in the first shell space
- T sa ⁇ t N is the temperature of a heat transfer medium filled in the Nth shell space.
- the concentration and pressure of reactants are high, so that the temperature difference between the peak temperature of the catalyst layer and the temperature of the molten salt is higher than that in the next shell space. For this reason, the temperature difference range in the first shell space will be surely wider than those in the next shell spaces.
- the present invention provides a method by which the magnitude of peak temperature in the first shell space is minimized while a temperature difference in the next shell space is also limited to a certain range, so as to prevent local excessive heat generation, thus making smooth the shape of temperature profile, in which the limited temperature range is the result of various experiments conducted over several years by the present inventors. If operations are done without such a limited range, the sintering of a catalyst in a hot spot, the loss of important metal components, an increase in byproducts, etc., can be caused, and particularly accidents can also occur due to a sudden exothermic reaction when introducing raw materials into a reactor. For these reasons, the inventive method is technologically necessary for safe start-ups, stable operations, and safe shut-downs.
- the temperature difference between the peak temperature of a catalyst layer in each reaction zone and the temperature of a heat transfer medium (molten salt) is controlled in the above-specified range, so that the catalyst can show uniform activity in the axial direction, and the degree of reaction can be suitably controlled, so as to inhibit heat accumulation in a hot spot and suppress side reactions, thus preventing a reduction in yield. Accordingly, the present invention can be stably operated at high olefin concentration or high space velocity without the control of activity of a catalyst filled in the first-step reactor.
- the olefins can be introduced into a reactor inlet at a space velocity of 50-130 hr "1 .
- the method of filling a plurality of catalyst layers with varying activities in the first-step reaction zone can achieve better performance by reducing the magnitude of peak temperature at a hot spot and inhibiting heat accumulation.

- the filling height of the reaction inhibition layer is 20-500%, and preferably 120-150% of the thickness of the partition, indicating that the reaction inhibition layer completely overlaps the thickness of the partition. However, if the height of the reaction inhibition layer must be made smaller than the thickness of the partition, it is preferably filled in such a manner that the largest possible area overlaps.
- the inactive material used in the reaction inhibition layer is designated as a material which is inactive to a reaction of producing unsaturated aldehydes and unsaturated acids from olefins, for example, a catalytic oxidation of producing acrolein and acrylic acid from propylene.

- the temperature of molten salts in the second-step reaction zone was set to 265 °C.
- the temperature of a hot spot was 418.3 °C
- the yields of acrolein and acrylic acid were 80.77% and 9.15%, respectively.
- Ti ntf The temperature of a catalyst layer at the position of a partition.
- the first-step reaction zone is set to isothermal conditions in order to increase yield, the temperature of the molten salt must be increased, resulting in a significant increase in the temperature of the hot spot in the catalyst layer.
- the yield of acrylic acid was higher than those of Comparative Examples 2 and 3, and also the hot spot temperature was much lower due to the application of multi- step heat control, thus making stable operations possible.
- Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 having the same average temperature of molten salts in the first-step reaction (305 °C) and from the comparison between Example 4 and Comparative Example 3 (310 °C) , it can be found that if the first-step reaction, is conducted in the two-divided heat control zones as in examples, the final yield of acrylic acid will be higher than that of the case where the first-step reaction is performed at isothermal condition. Also, the temperature peaks of the hot spots in examples will be much lower than those of the isothermal condition case, thus making stable operations possible.
- Example 1 As the temperature of the second shell space increased from 305 °C to 320 °C, the conversion of acrolein produced in the first-step reaction zone to acrylic acid was increased so that the yield of acrolein was relatively reduced. Thus, the load of the second-step reaction zone for converting acrolein to acrylic acid was slightly reduced, thus increasing the yield of acrylic acid. In examples using multi-step heat control, a load- for conversion of acrolein in the second-step reaction zone was lower than that of all comparative examples. Among them, Example 3 showed the lowest load for conversion of acrolein in the second-step reaction zone, indicating the highest final yield of acrylic acid.
- Example 5 From the results for Examples 1- 4, the sum of the yield of the intermediate products (acrolein + acrylic acid) produced in the first-step reaction zone was the highest in Example 3, indicating that Example 3 had the highest selectivity to the final product (acrylic acid) .
- Example 5 the temperatures of molten salts in the shell spaces of the first-step reaction zone were set to 308 °C and 315 °C in an axial direction such that the temperature of the front portion of the first-step reaction zone was higher than that of Examples 1-4. This resulted in a higher yield than those of Examples 1-4.
- the temperature of the hot spot was increased to 392.5 °C due to the increase in the molten salt temperature.
- Example 6 multi-step heat control was applied, and in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, the first-step reaction zone was operated under isothermal condition.
- ⁇ T T-T sa ⁇ t ⁇
- yield and selectivity were better than those of Comparative Examples 4 and 5.
- the temperature in the hot spot was a very high temperature close to the sintering temperature of the catalyst, resulting in the deterioration of catalyst and also in side reactions due to the high temperature around the hot spot, thus leading to a reduction on yield upon ' long-term operation.
- Comparative Example 7 was the same as in Example 6 except that the reaction inhibition layer was not inserted into the location of the partition. As evident from Table 3, since temperature control in the partition location where heat transfer is problematic was not easy, Comparative Example 6 showed an increase in temperature of 67.4 °C as compared to the temperature of molten salts, and Comparative Example 7 showed an increase in temperature of 100.7 °C. Such increases in temperature are significantly different from that of Example 6. Also, it could be found that T ⁇ nt f (the temperature of catalyst layer at the partition location) was close to the peak temperature of the catalyst layer. It is believed that this is mainly attributed to heat accumulation by an exothermic reaction which occurs since heat transfer around the partition is not easy.
- reaction inhibition layer If the reaction inhibition layer is not used, heat accumulation will not be the only problem. As apparent from Comparative Examples 6 and 7 where the reaction inhibition layer was not sufficiently ensured, the yield of acrylic acid, a final product, was also reduced as compared to Example 6. This indicates that reaction heat at the partition location did not easily flow out, so as to cause an abnormal increase in temperature and finally a reduction in selectivity, thus leading to an increase in the amount of byproducts.
