Problems solved by technology

[0027] At present, in all above-mentioned synthesis methods of ethyl methyl carbonate, the transesterification method is mainly used as the mainstream synthetic route, but the raw material dimethyl carbonate of the transesterification method needs to be synthesized through methanol transesterification of ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate, while ethylene carbonate Esters need to be prepared by the reaction of ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide, and propylene carbonate needs to be prepared by the reaction of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide. The above reaction route needs to be carried out in stages. The process consumes a lot of energy and increases operating costs

preparation example Construction

[0061] 1. Preparation method of mesoporous molecular sieve carrier:

[0062] In the present invention, orderly acid-base treatment is carried out on different carriers, and finally the molecular sieve carrier with the compound pore structure of mesoporous and micropores is prepared by high-temperature roasting. The purpose of the acid treatment is to remove the Al in the molecular sieve framework, so as to realize pore formation. The main function of the alkali treatment is to remove the Si in the molecular sieve framework to make the molecular sieve form a mesoporous structure. The preparation process includes the following steps:

[0063] 1) Dealumination: Add a certain mass of M-S carrier to a certain volume of acidic solution with a concentration of 0.11 mol / L, then stir and reflux in an oil bath at 100°C for 6 h, then filter, wash, and dry at 120°C for 8 h. The dealuminated M-S-DAl carrier is obtained.

[0064] 2) Desiliconization: Add the M-S-DAl carrier prepared in pro...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing ethyl methyl carbonate in one step and co-producing ethylene glycol from ethylene oxide, and relates to methods for synthesizing ethyl methyl carbonate. The method is characterized in that a high-efficiency alkaline catalyst with a composite pore structure is used for one-step synthesis of ethyl methyl carbonate from ethylene oxide, carbon dioxide,methanol and ethanol. The obtained crude product of the reation contains dimethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol, wherein the selectivity of methyl ethyl carbonate can reach up to 70% at maximum, byproducts of dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate can be directly isolated as products, or can be recycled to react continuously to form ethyl methyl carbonate, and the byproduct ethylene glycol as a bulk raw material can be separated through simple distillation. The entire reaction process is clean, efficient, non-polluting and free of generating any waste. When the molar ratio of ethylene oxide: carbon dioxide: methanol: ethanol is 1:1:3:2, the reaction pressure is 5 MPa, the reaction temperature is 100 DEG C, and the space velocity is 5 h<-1>, thecatalyst does not lose activity after being used for 5000 h, and the stability is better.

Description
