Definitions
- This invention relates to acrylic acid and acrylate processes.
- the invention relates to inhibiting unwanted acrylic and acrylate polymerization and the resulting fouling of process equipment while in another aspect, the invention relates to the use in the acrylic and acrylate processes of an inhibitor comprising a N-oxyl compound and a manganese ion.
- the invention relates to an inhibitor comprising a high ratio of N-oxyl compound to manganese ion.
- the gaseous product stream is quenched with cold process liquids before it is subjected to purification.
- the quench produces a liquid stream of at least 25 weight percent (wt%) liquid acrylic acid, at most 75 wt% water, and minor amounts of various liquid by-products.
- the majority of the cold process liquids typically comprise aqueous acrylic acid taken from the base of the quench tower and pumped to the top of the tower. Since liquid acrylic acid is much more susceptible to unwanted vinyl polymerization than is gaseous acrylic acid, a polymerization inhibitor is typically added to the stream in this pump-around loop.
- hydroquinone either alone or in combination with a metal ion such as an ion of manganese or copper. While these inhibitors are effective, they can also result in the fouling of the process equipment, typically the purification equipment such as the steam generators, if the reaction water is recycled to the reactors.
- hydroquinone will react with formaldehyde, a by-product of the acrylic acid process, to form a novolak-typ ⁇ polymer that will attach to equipment sidewalls and valves. This polymeric foulant then interferes with the heat exchange across the equipment sidewalls and the operation of the valves. This, in turn, can require frequent cleaning and clown-time of the equipment,

- the combination of 4-HT and a manganese salt provided only 4 hours of inhibition at 100°C when the 4-HT and manganese were present in a weight ratio between 1.33: 1 Io 1 : 1.
- only a very small amount of inhibitor was used (about 10 parts per million (ppm) of each component), and typically at least 100 ppm of total inhibitor is required in a commercial distillation tower for good distribution of the inhibitor over the tower trays.

- Representative ether and urethane derivatives of 4-hydroxy-TEMPO include methyl ether TEMPO, butyl ether TEMPO, kexyl ether TEMPO, allyl ether TEMPO and slearyl urethane TRMPO.
- 4-HT and Mn(Il) are added to streams containing acrylic acid.
- the 4-HT reacts with acrylic acid forming either the 4-HT aerylate ester (V below, i.e., the ester formed from the alcohol function of 4-HT with the carboxylic acid function of acrylic acid) or the Michael adduct Beta-(4-oxy TEMPO) propionic acid (VI below, i.e., the Michael adduct formed when the alcohol function of 4-HT adds across the double bond of the acrylic acid).
- the 4-1 IT can react to a lesser extent (due to the lower concentration of these species being present in the mixture) with acetic acid forming the 4-HT acetate ester (VIl below) and with the acrylic acid dimcr forming the corresponding ester (VIIi below) and Michael adducts (IX below).
- acetic acid forming the 4-HT acetate ester (VIl below)
- acrylic acid dimcr forming the corresponding ester (VIIi below) and Michael adducts (IX below)
- IX Michael adducts
- the inhibitor package i.e., the active nitroxyl derivative in conjunction with manganese ion
- the inhibitor package can be formed either in situ by the direct addition of 4-HT and manganese ion to the process, or it can be preformed by external reaction with acrylic acid and then added to the process along with manganese ion.
- the manganese ion used in the practice of this invention is preferably of a +2 valence, and it is typically derived from a manganese sail such as, for example, manganese dialkyklithiocarbamate (the alkyl groups are selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl and may be same or different with each other), manganese diphenyklithiocarbamate, manganese formate, manganese acetate, manganese octanate, manganese naphthenate, manganese ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and the like. One or more kinds of them may be used,
- the N-oxyl compound to manganese ion weight ratio is 50:1 to less than 100: 1, preferably to less than 75:1 and more preferably to less than 60:1, based on the aqueous solution of (m ⁇ th)acrylie acid or ester and water.
- a super stabilizing effect is imparted to an aqueous solution of (meth)aerylic acid, i.e., the majority (e.g., >50%) of the (medi)acrylic acid will dimerize via Michael addition before vinyl polymerization can occur.
- the components of the inhibitor i.e., the N-oxyl compound and the manganese ion precursor (e.g., a salt), can either be pre -mixed or added independently to the aqueous solution of (meth)acrylic acid or ester,
- the inhibitor (N-oxyl compound plus manganese ion precursor) are added either to the water used to make the aqueous solution of (meth)acrylic acid or ester, or to the solution itself, in amount of at least 50, preferably at least 100 and more preferably at least 200, ppm. in the context of a gas-phase process for the manufacture of (m ⁇ th)acrylic acid or ester, the inhibitor is usually added at the quench stage of the process.
- the inhibitor is pre-mixed, then it is typically added to the cold process liquids before or at the time that these liquids enter the top of the tower in which the gaseous (m ⁇ th)acrylic acid or ester is quenched.
- the temperature of these process liquids is typically between 15 and 30°C. If the components of the inhibitor are added to the process independent of one another, then they are typically added to the quench liquids before the liquids enter the quench tower, and additional amounts of the components can be added to different sections of the quench tower to insure a synergistic interaction of components throughout the purification process,
- An inhibitor solution is easily prepared by adding manganese acetate solids or solution to a commercially available ten percent aqueous solution of 4-hydroxy-TEMPO. In a preferred embodiment, this solution is then fed directly to the pump-around loop of the absorber (quench) tower or fed to a distillation tower by way of the reflux, i.e., that part of the condensed overhead vapor which is returned to the top tray.
- the inhibitor solution can also be added to a tower condenser, e.g., a quench condenser, and/or Io a simple flasher, i.e., a one-stage distillation unit.
- the inhibitor of N-oxyl compound and manganese ion is used in combination with an inhibitor that is soluble in an organic medium.
- the N-oxyl compound, particularly 4-hydorxy TEMPO, and the manganese salt are both very water-soluble and as such, only partially partition into the organic phase within the extraction and/or distillation towers. This, in turn, only provides partial stabilization against vinyl polymerization of any (raeth)acrylic acid or ester that is contained with the organic phase.
- the inhibitor can comprise one or more additional components that provides this function, e.g.. phenothiazine. This additional component or blend of components, if present, is usually present in an amount of 50, preferably 100 and more preferably 200, pprn.
- Mn(II) 4-Hydroxy-TEMPO by itself is stoichiometrically consumed as an inhibitor, and it does not require the presence of oxygen to function as an inhibitor.
- the presence of Mn(II) and oxygen allows for the regeneration of those 4-hydroxy ⁇ TEMPOs that have trapped a radical, thus making it a catalytic inhibitor.
- the oxygen is provided to the towers by air injection into either the reboiler or base of the lower.
- the Mn(II) serves two purposes. One purpose is to act as an oxidation catalyst for regeneration of 4-hydroxy-TEMPOs that have trapped a radical. Another purpose is when oxidized to Mn(Ul), it can act as an inhibitor via one electron transfer from a carbon centered radical forming a carbo-cation and Mn(II), and thus preventing polymerization.
- 4-HT in conjunction with Mn(I I) can provide super stabilization of acrylic acid at 113°C
- the preferred inhibitor ratios for acrylic acid distillation of this synergistic inhibitor mix is 100/1 (4-HT/MnfII)) with a more preferred ratio of 50/1.
- the inhibitor concentration on each tray should be at least 50 ppm 4-HT/l ppni Mn(Il), the more preferred level is at least 100 ppm 4-HT/2 pprn Mn(II) and an even more preferred concentration is at least 200 ppm 4-HT/4 ppm Mn(II).
- inhibitor concentration on each tray can be a concern and lead to fouling due to poor distribution in commercial scale equipment.
- 4-HT in acrylic acid purification is its ability to catalyze the decomposition of maleic acid in a finishing column base section and/or reboiler and even more effectively, in a dimer cracker
- the 4-HT acts as a catalyst for the decomposition of maleic acid via decarboxylation yielding acrylic acid.
- the high temperature (typically above 150°C) of the dimer cracker is preferred for this reaction although this reaction proceeds well at temperatures as low as 120°C,
- This characteristic of 4-HT is not observed with other non-TEMPO acrylic acid inhibitors, e.g., PTZ or HQ. This means that 4-HT not only prevents fouling in the purification system but also converts a reactor by-product into product in the purification system thus maximizing yields.
- the typical concentration of 4-HT in either the finishing column reboiler or dimer cracker is at least 500, preferably at least 1,000 and more preferably at least 2,000, ppm. Because 4-HT is a high boiler, it tends to concentrate in the reboiler of a finishing tower which can be equipped with a dimer cracker.
- the typical temperature for cracking the dimer in the presence of 4-HT is at least 150, preferably at least 170 and more preferably at least 200, °C,
- DOT tubes are 10 mL glass ampoules equipped with a 6 inch long, 1 ⁇ 4 inch diameter glass tubing neck, which are fitted with 1 ⁇ 4 inch Swagelok tm nylon caps.
- the caps are used to support the tubes which extend through twelve 3/8 inch holes in a 6 inch diameter circular plastic block that is about one inch thick.
- the block is attached by an offset center support rod to an overhead stirrer.
- the bulb portion of the tubes are then submerged in a constant temperature silicon oil bath held at 113°C for 72 hours while being rotated ⁇ via the overhead stirrer) at about 50 rpm.
- the tubes are visually monitored during this time for signs of polymer formation (i.e. cloudiness, presence of solids or increased viscosity).
- the amount of time until first signs of polymer formation is defined as the induction time (or on-set time).
- Each run consists of six replicate DOT tubes, and the Induction time is the average of these six replicates.
- the pressure tubes are sealed with pressure heads which arc equipped with a pressure gauge. After securing the heads, the tubes are. submerged (covering only the liquid level of the tubes) in a constant temperature oil bath at 149°C for 4 hrs with an autogenic pressure of 25 psig. The tubes are visually monitored during this time for the presence of polymer,
- 4- HT is tested to determine its efficacy as a polymerization inhibitor for acrylic acid. Potential adverse inhibition interactions of 4-HT with the other inhibitors are also evaluated.
- the results from the standard lab induction time tests are contained in Table I. All tests arc run at 113°C, the maximum rcboil ⁇ r wall temperature expected in a solvent removal tower. Also all tests are conducted under an air headspace.
- An inhibitor package consisting of 50 ppm 4-HT and 1 ppm of Mn(II) in the presence of oxygen provides super stabilization;, i.e., the acrylic acid contains sufficient inhibitor to allow most of the acrylic acid to undergo dimerkation before vinyl polymerization occurs, In other words, the induction time exceeds the amount of time it take for >90% of the acrylic acid to undergo Michael additions (which means that after 72 hours at 1 13°C very little free acrylic, acid is still present), However, the acrylic acid dimer can also polymerize to give a clear glassy solid if heating is continued for an extended period.
- Table 1 also demonstrate an absence of negative interactions, i.e., loss of inhibitor capability, between 4-HT and the preferred process co-inhibitor (PTZ) and as such, these can be mixed as desired. This can result in an improvement for those areas of the tower in which phasing may occur because of the increased solubility of 4-HT in water (i part 4-HT in 1 part water) compared to the less soluble HQ (1 part HQ in 14 parts water).
- the Fischer & Porter pressure tube test is a simulation of conditions expected in steam generators, After fours hours at 149°C the synthetic reaction water (85% water / 10% acetic acid / 5% acrylic acid) shows no signs of vinyl polymerization for either the 4-HTZMn(H) or HQZMn(II) inhibited solutions, This means that both inhibitor packages provide vinyl polymerization protection for times significantly greater than commercial steam generator residence times, In both cases the inhibitor concentration employed (1000 ppm HQ / 10 ppm Mn +2 and 500 ppm 4-HT / 10 ppm Mn +2 ) are those expected (based on unit mass balance) if a 100 ppm HQ Z 1 ppm Mn (II) inhibitor package is replaced with a 50 ppm 4-HT / 1 ppm Mn (Ii) inhibitor package, This test simulates a steam generator residue and reflects the fact that the inhibitors would be concentrated in this stream.
