[10](1)キシレンをアンモ酸化させて得られたジシアノベンゼンを含有するキシレンのアンモ酸化反応ガスを有機溶媒と接触させて、前記ジシアノベンゼンが前記有機溶媒に溶解したジシアノベンゼン吸収液を得る吸収手段と、(2)前記ジシアノベンゼン吸収液を、炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を含む塩基性水溶液と接触させて、前記ジシアノベンゼン吸収液中のカルボン酸と前記塩基性水溶液中の塩基との中和反応により生成する水可溶性の塩を水相に抽出する抽出手段と、(3)前記抽出手段から送り出される前記ジシアノベンゼン吸収液と前記塩基性水溶液との混合液を有機相と水相とに分離させる液-液分離手段と、(4)前記液-液分離手段から送り出される前記有機相に含まれる炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を分解して、前記塩を前記有機相から分離する脱気手段と、(5)前記脱気手段から送り出される前記有機相を蒸留し、前記有機相に含まれる前記ジシアノベンゼンよりも低い沸点を有する成分を前記有機相から分離して、前記ジシアノベンゼンを得る低沸分離手段と、を備える、ジシアノベンゼンの製造装置。
本実施形態のジシアノベンゼンの製造方法は、(1)キシレンをアンモ酸化させて得られたジシアノベンゼンを含有するキシレンのアンモ酸化反応ガスを有機溶媒と接触させて、上記ジシアノベンゼンが上記有機溶媒に溶解したジシアノベンゼン吸収液を得る吸収工程と、(2)上記ジシアノベンゼン吸収液を、炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を含む塩基性水溶液と接触させて、上記ジシアノベンゼン吸収液中のカルボン酸と上記塩基性水溶液中の塩基との中和反応により生成する水可溶性の塩を水相に抽出する抽出工程と、(3)その抽出工程を経たジシアノベンゼン吸収液と上記塩基性水溶液との混合液を有機相と水相とに分離させる液-液分離工程と、(4)その液-液分離工程を経た有機相に含まれる炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を分解して、上記有機相から分離する脱気工程と、(5)その脱気工程を経た上記有機相を蒸留し、その有機相に含まれるジシアノベンゼンよりも低い沸点を有する成分を有機相から分離して、ジシアノベンゼンを得る低沸分離工程とを有するものである。
吸収工程においては、キシレンをアンモ酸化させて得られたジシアノベンゼンを含有するキシレンのアンモ酸化反応ガスを、有機溶媒と接触させて、ジシアノベンゼンを有機溶媒に吸収させる。
抽出工程においては、吸収工程を経て得られたジシアノベンゼン吸収液と塩基性水溶液とを接触させ、ジシアノベンゼン吸収液中のカルボン酸と塩基性水溶液中の塩基との中和反応により生成する水可溶性の塩を水相に抽出する。ここでいうカルボン酸は、アンモ酸化反応により副生されるものであり、例えば、シアノ安息香酸(オルト-体、メタ-体、パラ-体)、メチル安息香酸(オルト-体、メタ-体、パラ-体)及びフタル酸(オルト-体、メタ-体、パラ-体)が挙げられる。
液-液分離工程においては、抽出工程を経たジシアノベンゼン吸収液と塩基性水溶液との混合液を有機相と水相とに分離させる。すなわち、有機相と水相とを相分離する。分離方法としては、混合液を静置して相分離させる方法であってもよい。また、それ以外に、分離方法として、遠心分離機、コアレッサーとセパレーターとの併用等の公知の方法であってもよい。液-液分離の際の温度及び圧力条件は特に限定されず、それらの相を分離できる条件であればよいが、抽出工程の条件と同程度であることが望ましい。液-液分離の際の温度や圧力が、抽出工程における温度や圧力から大幅に低下すると、水相に微量に溶解していたジシアノベンゼンが析出し配管閉塞等の原因となるだけでなく、水相が液相状態を保てなくなり分離が困難となる。
脱気工程においては、液-液分離工程を経た有機相に含まれる炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムから選ばれる1種以上の塩を分解して、その塩を有機相から分離する。この際、塩は気体として分離される。
低沸分離工程においては、脱気工程を経た有機相を蒸留し、有機相に含まれる低沸点化合物を有機相から分離して、ジシアノベンゼンを得る。この工程において、低沸点化合物は、その一部又は全部を有機相から分離される。また、この工程においてジシアノベンゼンは液体の状態で得られる一方、低沸点化合物は気体の状態で分離される。さらに、低沸点化合物には有機溶媒も含まれる。本工程における蒸留方法は、低沸点化合物を有機相から除去できる(すなわち、低沸点化合物とジシアノベンゼンとを分離できる)限り、特に限定されない。よって、蒸留方法は、回分式及び連続式のいずれの蒸留方法であってもよい。例えば、本工程において蒸留塔を用いて蒸留する場合、有機溶媒を含む低沸点化合物は、塔頂のみから排出されてもよく、塔頂及びサイドカット部(濃縮部;原料供給部よりも上方)の双方から排出されてもよい。また、排出された低沸点化合物を回収し、必要に応じて、有機溶媒とその他の低沸点化合物とに分離した後、有機溶媒を含む低沸点化合物又は有機溶媒を、吸収工程において、アンモ酸化反応ガスに含まれるジシアノベンゼンを吸収するための有機溶媒として使用してもよい。さらに、低沸分離工程において蒸留に用いる蒸留塔などの装置への有機相の供給流量を安定させるために、脱気工程を経た有機相を、タンクなどに一旦貯留してから、低沸分離工程に用いる装置に供給してもよい。
水素化工程においては、低沸分離工程を経た溶融状のジシアノベンゼンを溶媒に溶解させた後、触媒の存在下、液相において水素化する。溶媒としては、例えば、液体アンモニア、キシリレンジアミンと液体アンモニアとの混合溶媒、芳香族炭化水素(例えば、キシレン、メシチレン及びプソイドクメン等)と液体アンモニアとの混合溶媒、キシリレンジアミン及び芳香族炭化水素と液体アンモニアとの混合溶媒が挙げられる。
本実施形態のジシアノベンゼンの製造方法に用いる製造装置は、(1)キシレンをアンモ酸化させて得られたジシアノベンゼンを含有するキシレンのアンモ酸化反応ガスを有機溶媒と接触させて、ジシアノベンゼンが有機溶媒に溶解したジシアノベンゼン吸収液を得る吸収手段と、(2)ジシアノベンゼン吸収液を、炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を含む塩基性水溶液と接触させて、ジシアノベンゼン吸収液中のカルボン酸と塩基性水溶液中の塩基との中和反応により生成する水可溶性の塩を水相に抽出する抽出手段と、(3)抽出手段から送り出されるジシアノベンゼン吸収液と塩基性水溶液との混合液を有機相と水相とに分離させる液-液分離手段と、(4)液-液分離手段から送り出される有機相に含まれる炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム及びカルバミン酸アンモニウムからなる群より選ばれる1種以上の塩を分解して、塩を有機相から分離する脱気手段と、(5)脱気手段から送り出される有機相を蒸留し、有機相に含まれるジシアノベンゼンよりも低い沸点を有する成分を有機相から分離して、ジシアノベンゼンを得る低沸分離手段とを備えるものである。

〔アンモ酸化工程〕
五酸化バナジウム(和光純薬製、特級)229gに水(蒸留水)500mLを加え、80~90℃に加熱し攪拌しながら、そこにシュウ酸(和光純薬製、特級)477gを加え溶解して、シュウ酸バナジウムの溶液を得た。また、シュウ酸963gに水400mLを加え50~60℃に加熱し、そこに、無水クロム酸(和光純薬製、特級)252gを水200mLに加えた溶液をよく攪拌しながら加え溶解して、シュウ酸クロムの溶液を得た。得られたシュウ酸バナジウムの溶液にシュウ酸クロムの溶液を50~60℃にて混合し、バナジウム-クロム溶液を得た。このバナジウム-クロム溶液に、リンモリブデン酸(日本無機化学工業製、H3(PMo12O40)・20H2O)41.1gを水100mLに溶解して加え、更に、そこに酢酸カリウム(和光純薬製、特級)4.0gを水100mLに溶解して加え、次いで、20質量%水性シリカゾル(Na2Oを0.02質量%含有)2500gを加えて、スラリー溶液を得た。このスラリー溶液にホウ酸78gを加え十分に混合し、液量が約3800gになるまで加熱、濃縮して触媒溶液を得た。この触媒溶液を、噴霧乾燥機を用いて、その入口温度を250℃、出口温度を130℃に保ちながら、空気流通下で噴霧乾燥して、触媒前駆体粒子を得た。その触媒前駆体粒子を、乾燥機を用いて130℃の大気雰囲気下で12時間乾燥した後、焼成装置を用いて400℃で0.5時間、空気流通下で焼成し、さらに550℃で8時間、空気流通下で焼成して触媒を得た。この触媒の原子比は、V:Cr:B:Mo:P:Na:Kで1:1:0.5:0.086:0.007:0.009:0.020であり、その触媒濃度は、触媒全質量に対して50質量%であった。
アンモ酸化反応器Aの頂部から抜き出したアンモ酸化反応ガスをイソフタロニトリル吸収塔Bに導入し、アンモ酸化反応ガス中のイソフタロニトリルをメタ-トルニトリル(三菱ガス化学製品)溶媒中に吸収した。イソフタロニトリル吸収塔BはSUS304製であり、頂部で排気用の配管と接続し、胴体部が内径100mmΦ、高さ800mmで、胴体部下部の長さ450mmの領域は2重管として蒸気加熱できる構造とし、底部にアンモ酸化反応ガスを供給する吹き込み口を設けた。該吸収塔Bにメタ-トルニトリル2kgを収容して140℃に保持し、上記アンモ酸化反応ガスを上記拭き込み口から、353g/hrの流量で送り込んで、そのアンモ酸化反応ガスを、メタ-トルニトリルにより2時間吸収した。なお、排気用の配管には調圧弁が設けられており、吸収塔B内の圧力が一定になるよう制御された。アンモ酸化反応ガスとメタ-トルニトリルとの接触時間は1~2秒間であった。吸収終了時のジシアノベンゼン(イソフタロニトリル)吸収液中の水分濃度は0.16質量%、炭酸イオン濃度は108質量ppm、アンモニウムイオン濃度は1203質量ppmであった。また、そのイソフタロニトリル吸収液の組成は、イソフタロニトリル24.98質量%、メタ-トルニトリル73.89質量%、3-シアノベンズアミド0.467質量%、3-シアノ安息香酸0.156質量%であった。

混合槽Cでの撹拌を停止し、イソフタロニトリル吸収液と塩基性水溶液との混合液を液温100℃の状態を保ちながら10分間静置し、有機相(上層)と水相(下層)に分離させた。すなわち、混合槽Cを液-液分離槽Dとしても用いた。その後、抽出工程において調製したものと同じ組成の塩基性水溶液を、混合槽Cの底部ノズルより2g/minの速度で供給し、上部の背圧弁より液-液分離後の有機相120gを連続的に抜き出した。この抜き出した有機相の水分濃度は3.04質量%、炭酸イオン濃度は2223質量ppm、アンモニウムイオン濃度は1312質量ppmであり、炭酸アンモニウム塩濃度は3556質量ppmであった。また、その有機相の組成は、イソフタロニトリル24.26質量%、メタ-トルニトリル71.73質量%、3-シアノベンズアミド0.454質量%、3-シアノ安息香酸0.011質量%であった。
