Problems solved by technology

However, this method has the following disadvantages: terephthalaldehyde is an expensive starting material; additional work-up is required after the preparation of 4-formylbenzoic acid to remove sulfuric acid, resulting in lower yields in the isolation and purification steps; And need to use catalyst in the addition reaction of methanol, thereby increased the cost of preparation target compound
[0011] However, the method according to said Korean Patent Application No. 2004-13412 has problems in that the use of sodium metabisulfite generates a large amount of sulfur dioxide gas, which corrodes the reaction device and adversely affects the safety of workers, and uses an excessive amount of water and solvents will increase the production cost of MFB
And, also there is such shortcoming: because in order to separate the MFB of high purity, need to use the water of at least eight times of original MBF weight and the solvent of at least twice of original MFB weight respectively, so the production cost of MFB is very high, and produces A large amount of waste water, thus causing environmental problems

Embodiment 1

[0038] 200 parts by weight of methanol were added to 100 parts by weight of a mixture containing about 63% by weight of MFB, about 30% by weight of DMT, about 6% by weight of MPT, about 1% by weight of MBZ and traces of impurities, and the mixture Is a by-product in the process of preparing DMT. The methanol solution was stirred at 25°C for 0.5 hours. After the stirring was completed, only DMT remained as a solid, and the stirred solution was filtered to recover DMT as a solid. The solid DMT was washed with methanol, and the weight of DMT thus obtained was 27.4 g, and the purity was 99.4%.

[0039] To the obtained filtrate was added 0.2 parts by weight of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and the solution was stirred for 2 hours to convert MFB into benzaldehydedimethylacetal-4-acetate. When the reaction product converted to benzaldehyde dimethylacetal-4-acetate was kept at -2°C, the residual DMT was precipitated as a solid. The reaction product was filtered at -2°C to recover the re...

Embodiment 2

[0042] 200 parts by weight of ethanol were added to 100 parts by weight of a mixture containing about 63% by weight of MFB, about 30% by weight of DMT, about 6% by weight of MPT, about 1% by weight of MBZ and traces of impurities, and the mixture Is a by-product in the process of preparing DMT. The ethanol solution was stirred at 25°C for 0.5 hours. After the stirring was completed, only DMT remained as a solid, and the stirred solution was filtered to recover DMT as a solid. The solid DMT was washed with ethanol, and the weight of DMT thus obtained was 25.1 g, and the purity was 99.6%.

[0043] To the obtained filtrate was added 0.2 parts by weight of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and the solution was stirred for 2 hours to convert MFB into benzaldehyde dimethylacetal-4-acetate. When the reaction product converted to benzaldehyde dimethylacetal-4-acetate was kept at -2°C, the residual DMT was precipitated as a solid. The reaction product was filtered at -2°C to recover residual...

Embodiment 3

[0046] MFB was recovered in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the heptane was replaced with the same amount of Exelsol 670 (Korean SK Company). In this case, the recovered DMT had a purity of 99.4% and weighed 29.8 g, and the recovered MFB had a purity of 98.8% and weighed 39.9 g.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method of isolating and recovering methyl-4-formylbenzoate (MFB) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) at high purity from a mixture of byproducts produced in a process of producing DMT from p-xylene as a starting material through oxidation and esterification reactions. In the method, methyl-4-formylbenzoate (MFB) included in the byproduct mixture is isolated at high purity by converting it into an acetal compound through reaction with alcohol, and DMT is isolated and recovered from the byproduct mixture from which the MFB has been removed. The method does not generate sulfur dioxide gas, which is noxious and corrodes equipment, and in addition, it alleviates economic and environmental problems associated with the use of an excessive amount of solvent and the generation of wastewater.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for the separation and recovery of methyl 4-formylbenzoate and dimethyl terephthalate from a mixture of by-products formed during the production of dimethyl terephthalate, more Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for separating and recovering high-purity methyl 4-formylbenzoate (hereinafter referred to as "DMT") from the by-products of the production process of dimethyl terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as "DMT"), respectively. called "MFB") and DMT, and the by-products include MFB, DMT, methyl p-toluate (hereinafter referred to as "MPT"), and the like. Background technique [0002] MFB is a white crystal with aldehyde smell, easily soluble in acetone, toluene, dichloromethane, etc. It is used as a raw material for the production of fluorescent whitening agents, aromatic agents, etc., and is also used as a raw material for the production of high value-added materials such as p-aminoben...
