Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuously producing neopentyl glycol. The method comprises the following steps: performing a condensation reaction on isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde under the catalysis of tertiary alkylamine to obtain hydroxypivalaldehyde (HPA); condensing the HPA into a mixed hydroxylpivalic neopentyl glycol monoester (HPNE) liquid through a Tishchenko reaction under the action of an alkali catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor; continuously adding the synthesized mixed HPNE liquid into a loop reactor containing a hydrogenation catalyst and an NPG solution for a hydrogenation reaction, separating a reaction product by using a cross-flow filter, refluxing a circulating liquid containing the catalyst into the loop reactor, and rectifying a clear liquid to obtain the neopentyl glycol (NPG). According to the continuous production method of the neopentyl glycol, the HPA is basically converted into the more stable HPNE, cyclic hydrogenation is performed by using the loop reactor, and byproduct production is reduced, therefore, the product quality is improved and the product yield is increased; by the method, the stable operation of a continuous industrial productiontechnology and a continuous industrial production device of the neopentyl glycol can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production method for preparing neopentyl glycol, in particular to a method for continuous production of neopentyl glycol. Background technique [0002] Neopentyl glycol (NPG, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol), as a diol, is an important raw material for the production of resins, powder coatings, plasticizers and lubricating oils, and has great economic significance. At present, disproportionation and condensation hydrogenation are widely used in industry to prepare neopentyl glycol. Among them, the condensation hydrogenation method is that formaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde are condensed under amine catalyst conditions to generate hydroxypivalaldehyde (HPA), and then hydroxypivalaldehyde is hydrogenated under the action of nickel-based, copper-based and other catalysts to obtain the final product neopentyl di alcohol. Aiming at this synthetic route, many achievements have been made in the development of high-efficiency catalyst...
