A method for synthesizing diglycolamine by diethylene glycol low pressure method

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing diglycolamine from diglycol by virtue of a low-pressure process. The method comprises the following steps: displacing air in a reactor by use of nitrogen before charging for reaction, and then continuously introducing preheated nitrogen into the reactor so that the temperature of a catalyst in the reactor is increased to the range of 180 to 240 DEG C and the pressure in the reactor is increased to the range of 1.60 to 1.75 MPa; gasifying liquid ammonia, then mixing the gasified ammonia with the hydrogen to obtain a mixed gas, and preheating the mixed gas; mixing diglycol and softened water to obtain a mixed liquid and preheating the mixed liquid; feeding the preheated mixed gas and the preheated mixed liquid into the reactor, performing a gaseous and liquid phase catalyzed ammonolysis reaction in the presence of the catalyst under the conditions of 1.60-1.75MPa and 180-240 DEG C to obtain a crude product; and cooling the obtained crude product and then separating out the gas and the liquid from each other by use of a gas-liquid separator, thereby obtaining the liquid, namely crude diglycolamine. The crude diglycolamine prepared by use of the method for synthesizing the diglycolamine from the diglycol by virtue of the low-pressure process is high in diglycolamine content; the diglycol conversion rate is above 85% and the diglycolamine yield is above 70%.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic method of known compound, specifically a kind of method by diethylene glycol low-pressure synthesis diglycol amine. 2. Background technology [0002] Diethylene glycol amine, also known as 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, molecular formula C 4 h 11 NO 2 , is a colorless syrupy liquid, is an important solvent and organic raw material, can dissolve with water, can dissolve aromatic hydrocarbons and absorb acid gas (H 2 S and CO 2 ). Diethylene glycol amine is mainly used as an absorbent for acid gas, a surfactant, a wetting agent, and a desulfurizer, and it can also be used as a raw material for polymers. It is widely used in industries such as metals, electronics, and medicine. [0003] Under domestic prior art, also do not have a kind of industrialized production technique method that can use diethylene glycol, liquid ammonia, hydrogen and soft water as raw material synthetic diglycol amine, only ha...
