Embodiment 1

[0018] Weigh 100 grams of silicon oxide carrier whose specific surface area is 200 square meters per gram, according to 25% CuO / SiO 2 Content configuration catalyst, the steps are as follows: select copper nitrate, prepare an impregnation solution according to the Cu loading capacity, impregnate the silicon oxide carrier in the solution for 20 hours, and dry it in vacuum at room temperature for 8 hours to obtain a solid. The solid was then dried at 120°C for 10 hours and calcined at 500°C for 6 hours to obtain the desired CuO / SiO2 catalyst precursor.

[0019] Weigh the prepared CuO / SiO 2 The catalyst precursor is loaded into the tube reactor with a diameter of 18 mm according to the required amount. The pre-reaction catalyst is at 100 ml / min, the hydrogen molar content is 20%, and the nitrogen molar content is 80%. Minutes to 450 ° C, constant temperature for 4 hours for activation to obtain catalyst I and catalyst II with the same composition.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing glycol from oxalate, which mainly solves the problem that the prior art is low in the selectivity of target products and short in the regeneration period of catalysts. The method adopts oxalate as raw material, and comprises the following steps that: (a) hydrogen and a first stream of raw material enter a first reaction zone to be in contact with a copper-bearing catalyst I so as to form a first stream of glycol-containing reaction effluent; and (b) the first stream of reaction effluent and a second stream of raw material enter at least one second reaction zone to be in contact with a copper-bearing catalyst II so as to form a second stream of glycol-containing reaction effluent, wherein the molar ratio of the first stream of raw material to the second stream of raw material is 0.1-10:1; the molar ratio of the hydrogen to the sum of the first and second streams of raw material is 20-300:1; the first stream of raw material is selected from dimethyl oxalate, diethyl oxalate or a mixture thereof; and the second stream of raw material is selected from dimethyl oxalate, diethyl oxalate or a mixture thereof. The technical proposal well solves the problem, and the method can be used in the industrial production for increasing the yield of glycol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ethylene glycol from oxalate, in particular to a method for hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate or diethyl oxalate to produce ethylene glycol. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol (EG) is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of polyester fiber, antifreeze, unsaturated polyester resin, lubricant, plasticizer, nonionic surfactant and explosives, etc. It can be used in industries such as paint, photographic developer, brake fluid and ink, as a solvent and medium for ammonium perborate, and for the production of special solvents such as glycol ether, etc., and has a wide range of uses. [0003] At present, large-scale ethylene glycol production at home and abroad adopts the process route of direct hydration or pressurized hydration. This process is to prepare a mixed aqueous solution of ethylene oxide and water at a ratio of 1:20 to 22 (molar ratio) in a fixed bed. Re...
