甲醛与甲醇缩醛化反应制备聚甲氧基二甲醚的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种以甲醛水溶液作为初始反应原料, 通过连续的聚合和缩醛化反应 制备聚甲氧基二甲醚(¾CO(CH20)nCH3、 DMMn, n=2〜6)的方法。 背景技术
19世纪末, 随着内燃机的不断革新, 对油料的改进也引起了人们的广泛关注。 柴 油作为一种价格低廉的有机燃料, 具有热效率高、 耗油少、 排放较轻等优点, 内燃机 柴油化成为一大趋势。 另外由于柴油组分的垸烃分子量较大, 内燃机工作时柴油的燃 烧率不够高, 燃烧性能不够好, 这不仅增大了耗油量, 而且加深了排气对空气的污染 程度。 所以, 提高其在发动机中的燃烧性能势在必行。 近年来, 研究者在柴油中添加 了含氧燃料如甲醇、 甲缩醛等, 有效的降低了碳烟和废气的排放, 但这些化合物的蒸 气压和十六垸值低、 或与柴油溶解性能差。
1998年, David S. Moulton (US 5746785)研究表明聚甲氧基二烷基醚 (RO(CH20)nR) 作为一种新型的油品添加剂, 能显著改善柴油的燃烧性能, 有效提高热效率, 大幅度 减少 «¾和碳烟的排放; 而且具有很高的十六烷值和含氧量, 与普通柴油互溶性好, 被认为是极具应用前景的环保型柴油调和组分。
聚甲氧基二烷基醚早期釆用甲醇与多聚甲醛或乙二醇缩甲醛在质子酸的催化下反 应制备, 反应温度在 150〜180°C, 伴随有副产物 C02生成。 1948年, Du Pont公司 (US 2449469)以无机酸如硫酸为催化剂, 在较温和的条件下研究了聚甲氧基醚与多聚甲醛 或浓甲醛的缩醛化反应, 主要得到了 n=2〜3的聚甲氧基二垸基醚。
2008, BASF公司 (US 20080207954)报道了甲醇和甲醛水溶液反应制备 DMM. 的 工艺过程, 采用液体酸或固体酸为催化剂。 该反应工艺包括一个缩醛化反应器、 一个 反应蒸馏器、 一个相分离器, 甲醇和甲醛水溶液在反应器中发生缩醛化反应生成 DMM1-4, 然后采用反应蒸馏分离粗产品 (DMMM、 原料、 水)和催化剂溶液 (催化剂、 高沸点化合物), 催化剂溶液循环使用; 粗产品经蒸馏除去 DMM!和部分反应原料, 然 后进入相分离器分离除去水即得到产品 DMM 34。 直接以甲醛水溶液作为反应原料, 产物收率低; 分离过程复杂, 能耗大。
BP公司发展了硼硅酸盐分子筛、 磺酸基阳离子交换树脂等多相催化剂体系, (US 5959156, US 6160174 , US 62655284), 以二甲醚、 甲醇为起始反应原料, 经过二甲醚 水合反应生成甲醛, 甲醛再与甲醇发生缩醛化反应制备 DMMn。 反应过程采用反应精 馏方式实现了产品 (DMM≥2)的分离和原料的循环使用, 但是该方法催化剂活性低、 需 要频繁再生, 工艺过程复杂。
近年来, 中国科学院兰州化学物理研究所 (US 7560599 B2)报道了离子液体催化甲 醇与三聚甲醛缩醛化反应合成 DMMn的方法, 反应转化率最高可达到 90%, DMM3-8 的选择性可达到 40%。 实现了催化剂分离及循环使用 (CN200810150868.4)。 发明内容
