Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of organophosphorus chemistry and phosphorus chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for preparing phosphine. Background Art

[0002] Phosphine (also known as phosphine, PH3) is a linear phosphorus hydride. It is a colorless, highly toxic gas at room temperature, condensing into a liquid at -88°C and solid at -133.8°C. Due to the chemical activity of the PH bond, phosphine can undergo addition reactions with unsaturated groups and coordinate with Lewis acids and metal ions. PH3 and its derivatives act as ligands and interact with transition metals and their salts through P-Mσ coordination and d(M)-d(P) feedback π coordination to form a series of important coordination compounds. Most of these coordination compounds exhibit strong catalytic activity and are widely used in reactions such as the hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, and carbonylation of olefins. Furthermore, high-purity phosphine serves as a valuable electron gas regulator in solar energy and semiconductor materials. In grain storage, small amounts of phosphine are used as fumigants in granaries. Phosphine derivatives are also widely used in fine chemicals such as fungicides, bioreducing agents, mixed metal separation agents, flame retardants, and quantum dots. The main methods for preparing phosphine in industry at present are: 1) Byproduct method. The industrial production of sodium hypophosphite by reacting yellow phosphorus with alkali produces a large amount of PH3 as a byproduct. Patents CN201310 289015.X and CN 201210522061.5 disclose a method for preparing phosphine. Yellow phosphorus is reacted with alkali to produce phosphine, hypophosphite, and phosphite. The hypophosphite and phosphite are then treated with an inorganic acid to produce a mixture of hypophosphorous acid and phosphorous acid. The mixed acid is then thermally decomposed to produce phosphine and phosphoric acid as a byproduct. The equation is as follows: However, the NaH2PO2 in the above method will further react under alkaline conditions to generate H2 and Na3PO4, resulting in the prepared PH3 containing a certain amount of H2. In addition, the maximum yield of phosphine produced by this method is only 25%.

[0003] 2) Pyrolysis. Patent CN201310289544.X discloses a method for producing PH3 by pyrolysis of phosphorous acid. Phosphorous acid is pyrolyzed at 150°C-200°C using a platinum-on-carbon catalyst to produce high-purity PH3. CN201310290020.2 and CN201210521890.1 disclose methods for simultaneously preparing PH3 and sodium trimetaphosphate. Under nitrogen protection, a mixture of trivalent sodium phosphate and pentavalent sodium phosphate salts of a certain composition is heated at 200-400°C to undergo disproportionation and condensation reactions, yielding relatively pure PH3 and sodium trimetaphosphate. However, these methods require high temperatures, making them relatively demanding.

[0004] 3) Other methods. CN202210379814.5 discloses a method for preparing phosphine / deuterated phosphine and its derivatives. The method is to use white phosphorus and proton-containing (H + ) / deuterated protons (D + ) compounds or mixtures as reaction raw materials to efficiently prepare phosphane or deuterated phosphane. However, the above method has a long reaction time and low yield, and is not suitable for industrial production.

[0005] In view of the many problems of existing technologies such as low yield, harsh reaction conditions, and unsuitability for industrial production, there is an urgent need to develop a new preparation method for phosphine. Summary of the Invention
