Abstract

The invention relates to an electrolyte and a method for preparing adiponitrile by electrolytic acrylonitrile dimerization. The electrolyte comprises 2-7 wt% of acrylonitrile, 0.1-5 wt% of imidazole or pyridine ionic liquid, 0.1-5 wt% of EDTA or EDTA salt, 5-15 wt% of phosphate and the balance water, and the pH value range is 7-10. Electrolysis is carried out in a membrane-free electrolytic cell,anode materials of the membrane-free electrolytic cell are carbon steel or graphite, and cathode materials are cadmium or lead, the temperature of the electrolyte is 20-60 DEG C, and the linear speedof the electrolyte between the electrode plates is larger than 1 m.s <-1>, continuous electrolysis is carried out under the condition that the current density is 500-4000 A.m <-2>, and oil-water separation, rectification and other processes are carried out to obtain adiponitrile products. Compared with the prior art, ionic liquid is adopted as the support electrolyte, so that the yield and currentefficiency of adiponitrile can be improved, and the corrosion of the anode material and the crude product separation equipment can be greatly reduced; and the property of the ionic liquid is stable,so that the loss of the electrolyte can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of the chemical industry, and relates to a method for preparing adiponitrile by electrolytic dimerization of acrylonitrile, in particular to an electrolyte for preparing adiponitrile by electrolytic dimerization of acrylonitrile and the preparation of adiponitrile by electrolytic dimerization of acrylonitrile. Nitrile method. Background technique [0002] Adiponitrile (ADN), also known as 1,4-dicyanobutane, has the molecular formula NC(CH 2 ) 4 CN is an important organic chemical raw material. Hexamethylenediamine is obtained by hydrogenation and reduction of adiponitrile. Hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid produce nylon 66 through polycondensation reaction. This is the most important industrial use of adiponitrile. Currently, more than 90% of adiponitrile in the world is used as nylon 66 raw materials. Hexamethylenediamine can also obtain HDI (1,6-diisocyanate) through photochemical reaction, and HDI ...
