Definitions
- the invention relates to a selective epoxide deoxygenation catalyst (epoxide reversion catalyst), to the use of the selective deoxygenation catalyst for the conversion of epoxidized anthraquinone forms into the corresponding ordinary anthraquinone forms (selective epoxide reversion).
- the invention also relates to a process of converting epoxidized anthraquinone forms into the corresponding ordinary anthraquinone forms employing said selective epoxide deoxygenation catalyst.
- the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide by the AO-process comprising a selective epoxide reversion wherein the selective epoxide deoxygenation catalyst of the present invention is employed in converting epoxidized anthraquinone forms into the corresponding ordinary anthraquinone forms.
- Epoxides are very reactive cyclic ethers of an organic compounds with three ring atoms, wherein compared to cyclopropane one carbon atom in the ring is replaced by an oxygen atom.
- This epoxide ring approximately defines an equilateral triangle, which makes it highly strained.
- the strained ring makes epoxides more reactive than other ethers.
- epoxides are very reactive compounds and may be hazardous compounds that may be formed as undesired byproducts during oxidation reactions involving olefinic and/or aromatic organic compounds.
- An industrially very important process, wherein undesired epoxides may play a role, is the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide by the anthraquinone auto- oxidation process (the so-called AO-process), wherein a solution of organic compounds like anthraquinones and/ tetrahydro anthraquinones in a suitable, usually organic, solvent (the so-called working solution) are used in a continuous hydro- genation and oxidation reaction cycle to produce hydrogen peroxide.
- the anthraquinones are hydrogenated to the corresponding dihydroquinones, which then transfer hydrogen to oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide.
- 2-Alkyl-9,10- anthraquinone especially 2-ethyl-9,10-anthraquinone and/or 2-amyl-9,10-anthra- quinone or other related alkyl derivatives are used, rather than the unsubstituted anthraquinone itself.
- 2-Alkyl-9,10- anthraquinone especially 2-ethyl-9,10-anthraquinone and/or 2-amyl-9,10-anthra- quinone or other related alkyl derivatives are used, rather than the unsubstituted anthraquinone itself.
- 2-Alkyl-9,10- anthraquinone especially 2-ethyl-9,10-anthraquinone and/or 2-amyl-9,10-anthra- quinone or other related alkyl derivatives are used, rather than the unsubstituted anthraquinone itself.
- 2-alkyl-9,10-tetrahydro-anthraquinone especially 2-ethyl-9,10-tetrahydro anthraquinone and/or 2-amyl-9,10-tetrahydro anthraquinone or other related alkyl derivatives in the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide.
- 2-alkyl anthraquinones and 2-alkyl tetrahydro anthraquinones may also be used in combination in the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide.
- the known anthraquinone process in which hydrogen peroxide is produced by reducing anthraquinones with hydrogen and subsequently oxidizing the dihydroanthraquinone with oxygen, is subjected to a number of complications caused by the repeated reductions and oxidations of the working solutions, which lead to a number of more or less known undesired by-products.
- continuous working of the cyclic process for producing hydrogen peroxide leads to formation of a degraded working solution containing a complex mixture of anthraquinone by-products and/or degradation products, which cannot take part in the production of hydrogen peroxide, and some of these degradation products are derived from the useful quinone content of the working solution.
- Such epoxides may particu- larly be formed in the AO-process for the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide if a working solution containing tetrahydro anthraquinones as a working compound is used, e.g. then tetrahydro anthraquinone epoxides may be formed. Also, if the working compound in the working solution is an anthraquinone, nevertheless tetrahydro anthraquinone epoxides may be formed because of incidental over- hydrogenation of the anthraquinone to tetrahydro anthraquinone and subsequent epoxide formation thereof.
- degradation products does not apply to tetrahydro derivatives of the anthraquinone working compound, which may be formed during the hydrogenation step of the AO-process or which may intentionally be present in the working solution as the or one of the working compounds.
- undesired epoxides of the anthraquinones may be formed which must be eliminated from the cyclic AO-process in order to avoid accumulation of epoxide and the risk of hazardous events by spontaneous decomposition of the epoxide ring.
- anthraquinone products in the working solution e.g. such like quinone epoxides, anthrones and oxanthrones
- subsequent regeneration steps are necessary and described in the state of the art.
- the used aluminum oxide is contaminated by anthraquinone derivatives and by the phenolic derivatives, the purification of the used aluminum oxide discharged from the hydrogen peroxide process has been found too expensive to carry out. Being a relatively non-toxic material, it is commonly stored to landfill areas. However, the storage of the used aluminum oxide to landfill areas implicates an environmental problem at least by occupying a remarkable space in the landfill area. Therefore, also from an environmental point of view, it is extremely desirable to reduce the consumption of aluminum oxide in the production of hydrogen peroxide.
- the US 6946061 describes a method of regenerating hydrogenated and/or oxygenated alkyl anthraquinones and/or alkyl anthrahydroquinones to alkyl anthraquinones and/or alkyl anthrahydroquinones, or a method for regenerating a working solution containing hydrogenation and/or oxidation products of said alkyl anthraquinones and/or alkyl anthrahydroquinones dissolved in at least one solvent, wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst under electromagnetic irradiation, e.g.
- the catalyst may be any material capable of absorbing the microwave irradiation, and for example, is selected from the group consisting of aluminium oxides, zeolites, magnesium oxide and silicates, wherein aluminium oxides are preferred.
- the regeneration is preferably carried out at temperatures of from 25 °C to 250 °C, wherein a portion of the working solution containing hydrogenation and oxidation products separated from the cyclic process for the production of hydrogen peroxide, as a side- stream, and the upgraded side- stream is then recirculated to the cyclic process, in order to ensure that the anthraquinone by- products are not accumulated in the cyclic AO-process.
- the US 2009/0018013 patent application (2009) describes a catalyst for regenerating a working solution usable for producing hydrogen peroxide by an anthraquinone method, the catalyst being produced by a method, wherein active alumina is treated with a 20% by weight to saturated aqueous solution of a magnesium salt, treated with ammonia and the resultant substance is then burned.
- the magnesium salt used is magnesium chloride, and the amount of magnesium supported to the active alumina as a result of treating the active alumina with the aqueous solution containing the magnesium salt is 1 to 50% by weight with respect to the weight of post-burning magnesium- supported active alumina.
- a metal compound containing at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and platinum is supported in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight with respect to the weight of post-burning magnesium- supported active alumina.
- This solid reversion is a reaction is per- formed in a column which is filled with a solid material of alumina or alumino- silicate and the reaction takes place at high temperature usually between 120 and 180 °C.

- the described two-step solid state deoxygen- ation process of the state of the art is satisfying if applied in common large to mega-scale hydrogen peroxide production AO-processes, it is difficult to scale said two-step solid state deoxygenation process down to medium and/or small- scale hydrogen peroxide production capacities.

More specifically, in this regard the present invention also relates to a regeneration method of a working solution in a hydrogen peroxide production process utilizing an anthraquinone method, and wherein various by-products which do not participate in the hydrogen peroxide production may be formed in the ageing working solution.
- these by-products e.g. specifically the epoxides of (alkyl) anthraquinones and/or (alkyl) anthrahydroquinones, can efficiently be converted to the respective anthraquinones and/or anthrahydroquinones being effective as working compound in the production of hydrogen peroxide.

- Said epoxide reversion according to the invention can be applied as a side- stream to an industrial process and/or preferably directly in a cyclic industrial process itself, which process is in need of such conversion or such conversion is advisable.
