Technique for cleanly recovering byprdouct methyl chloride of glyposate acid

Abstract

The tail gas discharged during the production process of phosphite alkyl acid method glyphosate acid contains 20-90% of methyl chloride, and also contains impurities such as methanol, methylal, water, hydrogen chloride, etc., which are absorbed or condensed by solvents or partly Parts of impurities such as methanol and methylal are added to the fluid containing hydrogen chloride to convert them into methyl chloride to obtain high-purity methyl chloride. This process not only solves the environmental pollution problem of glyphosate acid production, but also greatly reduces the production cost of glyphosate acid.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for purifying and recovering hydrolysis tail gas during the synthesis of glyphosate acid. More specifically, it recovers methyl chloride as a by-product with a high yield from the tail gas discharged from the production of glyphosate acid, and the process does not produce secondary pollution. Background technique [0002] Glyphosate is the world’s largest sales and fastest-growing biocidal herbicide. The total production of glyphosate in the world has reached 260,000 tons. With the successful development and promotion of glyphosate-resistant transgenic crops, It provides a new opportunity for the continued development of glyphosate. There are two main methods for global industrial production of glyphosate: one is the IDA method, which uses diethanolamine as the starting material, which is commonly used by foreign companies such as Monsanto in the United States; the other method is the alkyl ...

Problems solved by technology

However, this process has some shortcomings in recovery rate and environmental protection: ① low recovery rate

Since the tail gas contains saturated or supersaturated methylal and methanol under normal pressure, if it cannot be removed during washing, it will cause high consumption of desiccant after being brought into the drying system, and affect the quality of recovered methyl chloride.

However, affected by the solubility and mass transfer rate of methylal and methanol in water, in order to ensure the quality of reclaimed methyl chloride, it is necessary to wash with a large amount of water (6 tons / ton of methyl chloride), and methyl chloride has a certain solubility in water ( 0.38 g / liter), the large amount of washing water causes the dissolution loss of methyl chloride in water to increase, which affects the recovery rate; 2. pollutes the environment

Although this process can recover most of the methyl chloride in the exhaust tail gas and reduce the environmental pollution caused by the production of glyphosate acid, the defects of the process itself make it impossible to completely solve the environmental protection problem. A large amount of washing water dissolves the methyl chloride in the tail gas. Acetal, methanol, methyl chloride and other organic compounds, and low content of these substances can not be recovered by economical methods, only biochemical treatment or discharge, resulting in environmental pollution; if biochemical treatment is carried out, due to methylal and chlorine Methane is a difficult biochemical substance, and the cost of processing it is relatively high

③ Poor quality of recycled methyl chloride

The impurities (moisture content, methylal, methanol) contained in the glyphosate acid by-product chloromethane recovered by the three-stage treatment process described in this process are too high, and will react with the target product in the synthesis of methyl chlorosilane The formation of polymers or thermal cracking will coke and coke on the surface of the catalyst, thereby affecting production
