A method for the comprehensive utilization of residual C5 from cracked
ethylene involves using residual C5 from cracked
ethylene as a reactant, employing organic peroxides as oxidants, and conducting a
catalytic oxidation reaction under the action of a catalyst to obtain a first
reaction product containing 1,2-epoxypentane, 2,3-epoxypentane, 1,2-
epoxy-2-methylbutane, and 2,3-
epoxy-2-methylbutane. The first
reaction product is then mixed with
cyclopentene, and a further
catalytic oxidation reaction is conducted under the action of a catalyst, causing the unreacted organic peroxides in the first
reaction product to undergo an epoxidation reaction with the
cyclopentene to generate
cyclopentane oxide, thus obtaining a second reaction product containing 1,2-epoxypentane, 2,3-epoxypentane, 1,2-
epoxy-2-methylbutane, 2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutane, and
cyclopentane oxide. The catalyst is a modified Ti-HMS
molecular sieve catalyst with mesoporous characteristics. Further, the 1,2-epoxypentane is hydrolyzed and separated by
distillation to obtain 1,2-pentanediol. This invention provides a green and
environmentally friendly method for the high-value utilization of C5 residue from cracked
ethylene.
