Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. The methanol solution of sodium methoxide is used as a catalyst in the production of dimethyl carbonate by transesterification. The core is that sodium methoxide plays a catalytic role. The process is mature and the conversion rate is high. The disadvantage is that the dosage is large, and the proportion of ingredients is propylene carbon: methanol: sodium methoxide = 100:126:7
The amount of sodium methoxide is large, accounting for a high production cost
[0005] 2. In the transesterification reaction between propylene carbonate and methanol to generate dimethyl carbonate, it is difficult to separate the propylene glycol and sodium methoxide catalyst in the reaction product system
Because sodium methoxide is strongly alkaline, it is not only easy to corrode equipment, but also causes propylene glycol and catalysts to easily form viscous aggregates. At the same time, a large number of high polymers such as dipropylene glycol and tripropylene glycol are produced by side reactions, which gradually accumulate in the production device system. In order to ensure the normal operation of the production unit, it must be discharged regularly, reducing the yield of propylene glycol and easily causing environmental pollution
[0006] 3. The propylene glycol recovery system adopts vacuum intermittent rectification or continuous rectification process. During the rectification process, it is difficult to accurately control the propylene glycol stripping period. 2% polypropylene glycol high boilers are entrained in propylene glycol, which makes the product quality difficult to stabilize. Affect the color of the product; at the same time, the water in the system causes the sodium methoxide catalyst to form sodium carbonate solid and deposit, which affects the normal operation of the equipment
[0007] 4. The process is long, the investment is large, the equipment is huge, and the occupied area is large

Abstract

The invention discloses a catalyst for preparing dimethyl carbonate. Porous spherical activated aluminium oxide is used as a carrier on which potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate are loaded, wherein 200-300 g of the potassium carbonate and 80-130 g of the sodium carbonate are contained per 1000 g of the catalyst. The invention further discloses a method for preparing the dimethyl carbonate. The method comprises the following steps: using vaporized methanol of which the pressure is 0.2 Mpa, and vaporous propylene carbonate of which the temperature is 110-120 DEG C; and under the conditionsof the action of the catalyst, 110+(-)10 DEG C of the temperature and 0.2 Mpa of the pressure, preparing the dimethyl carbonate. The method for preparing the dimethyl carbonate has the characteristicsof moderate reaction condition, low reaction pressure (0.2 Mpa), low reaction temperature (110 DEG C), high propylene carbonate conversion percent (99.9%), and high product yield (99.8%). It is forecasted that after the industrialization is realized, the cost is greatly saved, and environmental protection pressure is relieved.
