Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this type of process are: firstly, it belongs to batch-type batch reaction, with large labor input and many influencing factors, so it is not suitable for large-scale continuous industrial production; secondly, due to the large amount of water generated in the reaction process cannot be removed from the reaction system in time, The chemical balance shifts to the left, the conversion rate of raw materials decreases, which is not conducive to the formation of products, and the existence of excess water will also lead to rapid catalyst deactivation, which limits production efficiency; third, the separation efficiency is low, and the three wastes are generated more, which is not conducive to environmental protection and environmental protection. Resource recycling and efficient utilization
According to existing reports, whether it is the "gas phase reaction" of continuous fixed-bed gas phase catalysis, or the "batch reaction" of intermittent high-pressure stirred tank closed catalysis, more than 60% of the products are glycerol monoalkyl ethers, glycerol dialkyl ethers, and glycerol dialkyl ethers. The content of ether and trialkyl glycerol ether does not exceed 20%, which is very limited for the improvement of oil quality and performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a glycerinum alkyl ether production method based on heterogeneous catalysis.Liquid glycerinum enters a tower through the upper middle portion of a bubble tower reactor to make reverse contact with lower alcohol which enters through the bottom of the tower after being gasified and is dispersed through a gas distributor, glycerinum alkyl ether is generated through heterogeneous reaction under the action of a catalyst and passes through a return despumation area upwards to be removed out of the reactor, and the finished glycerinum alkyl ether product is obtained through flash separation.The production method has the advantages that conversion rate is high, energy consumption is low, the service life of the catalyst is long, and the molar concentration of glycerinum dialkyl ether and glycerinum trialkyl ether in reaction products is 66% or more.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production method of glycerol alkyl ether, in particular to a continuous production method for preparing glycerol alkyl ether by utilizing glycerol and low-carbon alcohol heterogeneous catalysis. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the excessive dependence on fossil energy, mankind has begun to attach great importance to the development of the biodiesel industry. However, for every ton of biodiesel produced, about 100 kilograms of glycerol will be by-produced, which directly leads to the oversupply of glycerin in the market, and the price continues to fall. Converting glycerol into other high value-added products has become an important research and development direction. In recent years, low-carbon alcohol products, including methanol and ethanol, have also shown a trend of overcapacity and falling prices. Therefore, the development of downstream industrial chains around low-carbon alcohols has also become a hot...
