[0002] As an important organic synthesis intermediate, n-hexylamine plays a key role in many fields due to its unique chemical properties and wide application prospects. In the pharmaceutical field, it is an important raw material for synthesizing various drug intermediates, which can be used to prepare antiarrhythmic drugs, antibiotics, etc.; in the pesticide industry, as a key additive, it can effectively improve the penetration, dispersion and adhesion performance of pesticides, enhance the pesticide efficacy and help the prevention and control of crop diseases and pests; in the rubber processing industry, n-hexylamine can be used as a raw material for accelerators and antioxidants to improve the vulcanization speed and anti-aging performance of rubber products and prolong the service life of rubber products; in addition, in the surfactant, dye and coating industries, n-hexylamine also plays an indispensable role and is a key raw material in the production process of many fine chemicals.

[0003] At present, the preparation methods of n-hexylamine mainly include n-hexanol catalytic amination method, n-hexyl cyanide reduction method, brominated n-hexane ammonolysis reaction and caprolactam method, among which the n-hexanol amination method has realized industrialization due to the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, mature process and outstanding economy. This method uses n-hexanol and ammonia as raw materials to synthesize n-hexylamine under the action of catalyst at high temperature and high pressure. However, due to the limitation of catalyst technology, there are great differences in production technology at home and abroad, and the product quality is uneven.

[0004] The existing preparation method of n-hexylamine includes the following: 1) CN114539071A: The catalyst is composed of active components, additives and carriers, wherein the active components are nickel metal, the additives are cerium elements, and the carriers are γ-alumina. The mixed gas of gaseous n-hexanol, ammonia and hydrogen is introduced into a fixed bed reactor loaded with alumina-supported bimetallic nickel-cerium catalyst, and reduction amination reaction is carried out at 150-230℃ to obtain n-hexylamine; the highest conversion rate of raw material n-hexanol is only 91%, the product selectivity of n-hexylamine is 21%, the by-product is n-hexyl cyanide, and the selectivity of n-hexyl cyanide reaches 76%.

[0005] 2)、CN110302790A discloses a process method, which first carries out amination reaction of ammonia and caprolactam in a first reactor to obtain an amination liquid, then pours the amination liquid into a second reactor, adds a catalyst and a solvent to carry out hydrogenation reaction, and obtains product hexamethylene diamine, n-hexylamine and cyclohexyl imine. The process synthesis reaction step is complex and cumbersome, the temperature of amination reaction is 300℃~500℃, the reaction temperature is high, the service life of the equipment will be shortened and there is a high temperature safety risk; the catalyst is Co-Zn / Al2O3, which contains the following components by weight: Co is 0~30.0%, Zn is 0~25.0%, and the rest is Al2O3.

The reaction condition of the process is high in reaction temperature, the variety of raw materials is large, the number of side reactions increases, and then a solvent is added, a new substance exists, which increases the difficulty of separation. At the same time, the existence of carbonate is not friendly to the environment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0027] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a reaction device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The application will be further described in conjunction with specific examples, but the scope of protection of the application is not limited thereto.

[0030] Catalyst Example 1: 1), 100g of pseudo-boehmite and 5g of sesbania powder were uniformly mixed, then 150g of deionized water was weighed, 5g of nitric acid was added to the water, and the mixture was uniformly mixed, then the mixture was extruded into a columnar body with a diameter of 4mm and a length of 3-8mm using an extruder, then the columnar body was dried at 110℃ for 3h, then the temperature was raised to 280℃ in a muffle furnace, and the columnar body was calcined for 2h, then the temperature was raised to 400℃, and the columnar body was calcined for 10h to obtain a catalyst carrier.

[0031] 2), the active components of the catalyst were set as follows: Co 15.0Wt%, Cu 3.5Wt%, Zn 4.2Wt%, Mo 0.8Wt%, and the balance was the catalyst carrier.

[0032] According to the above-mentioned proportioning relationship of the active components, a nitrate mixed solution composed of cobalt nitrate, copper nitrate, zinc nitrate, molybdenum nitrate and water was prepared; the amount of water must ensure that the above-mentioned nitrates can be dissolved, and that the nitrate mixed solution can be completely absorbed by the catalyst carrier (which can be determined according to the water absorption rate of the catalyst carrier).

[0033] The nitrate mixed solution was poured into the catalyst carrier obtained in step 1) for impregnation, and two times of impregnation, drying and calcination were adopted, and each time of impregnation-drying-calcination was as follows: impregnation time 1.5h, then the impregnated catalyst was air-dried (air-dried until no water droplets were formed), placed in a 110℃ oven for drying for 3h, and calcined at 450℃ for 5h; the second time of impregnation-drying-calcination was the same as the first time of impregnation-drying-calcination, to obtain a supported catalyst carrier. Through calcination, cobalt nitrate, copper nitrate, zinc nitrate and molybdenum nitrate were all converted into corresponding metal oxides, so that the metal oxides were attached to the supported catalyst.

[0034] 3), about 100ml of the supported catalyst carrier obtained in step 2) was packed in a reactor with an inner diameter of 45cm and a height of 120cm for hydrogen reduction; the catalyst was packed as follows: a layer of 28cm porcelain balls was laid at the bottom of the reactor, and then 100ml of the catalyst was poured into the porcelain balls after the porcelain balls were laid flat, and then another layer of 28cm porcelain balls was laid; the reduction conditions were as follows: reduction temperature rising rate 8-10℃ / min, hydrogen pressure 0.05MPa, temperature 450℃, space velocity 10h -1 Under the above conditions, until no water was produced, a supported metal catalyst cat.1 was obtained.

[0035] Note: Space velocity = hydrogen gas flow rate (standard conditions) / catalyst volume; Metal oxides are reduced with hydrogen at high temperatures to form the corresponding metals.

[0036] Catalyst Example 2, compared to Catalyst Example 1, is modified as follows: 1) Replace “5g nitric acid” with “5g sulfuric acid”, which is equivalent to step 1 of catalyst example 1.

[0037] 2) Set cobalt to 13.5 wt%, copper to 5.0 wt%, zinc to 3.5 wt%, and molybdenum to 1.5 wt%, with the remainder being the same as step 2 of catalyst example 1.

[0038] 3) Equivalent to step 3 of catalyst example 1.

[0039] The supported catalyst cat.2 was obtained.

[0040] Catalyst Example 3, compared to Catalyst Example 1, is modified as follows: The composition was set as follows: cobalt 10.3 wt%, copper 7.5 wt%, zinc 5.5 wt%, and molybdenum 0.2 wt%, with the remainder being the same as catalyst example 1. This yielded the supported catalyst cat.3.

[0041] The method for preparing n-hexylamine from n-hexanol according to the present invention is as follows (using, for example...) Figure 1 The conventional apparatus described above consists of a reactor filled with a catalyst bed. Hexanol, the raw material, is metered and pressurized by a hexanol metering pump (using a horizontal flow pump, referred to as the hexanol pump), and then enters the vaporizer along with liquid ammonia from a liquid ammonia metering pump (using a double-plunger metering pump, referred to as the ammonia pump) and hydrogen from a gas cylinder. After being heated to 140-250°C and vaporized, it enters the reactor, where an amination reaction occurs in the catalyst bed. Therefore, the feed ratio is controlled by the hexanol metering pump, the liquid ammonia metering pump, and the hydrogen flow meter. The products obtained from the amination reaction are cooled by a condenser, forming liquid and gaseous products that enter a crude product tank (crude amine tank). The top of the crude product tank is equipped with a conventional vent line connected to a water absorption system. The vent line is equipped with a vent valve and a back pressure valve, the latter used to regulate the reaction pressure within the reactor. The uncondensed gas (i.e., the gaseous product) after gas-liquid condensation is discharged through the vent valve. Another function of the vent valve is to release pressure in case of abnormal pressure. The gaseous products mainly consist of the following components: liquid ammonia, methane, and hydrogen. After entering the water absorption system, the liquid ammonia forms an alkaline solution, while the other components that are insoluble in water (methane and hydrogen) are released into the atmosphere.

[0042] The crude product (liquid phase product) includes n-hexylamine, di-n-hexylamine, tri-n-hexylamine, n-hexanol, liquid ammonia and water and the like, and can be subjected to the following conventional post-treatment: a small amount of liquid ammonia is removed by an ammonia tower (the ammonia tower top temperature is 20-50 DEG C), n-hexylamine product is collected by an atmospheric distillation tower at 130-135 DEG C, di-n-hexylamine product is collected by a vacuum distillation tower (-0.095 MPa) at 85-95 DEG C, and tri-n-hexylamine is collected by a vacuum distillation tower (-0.095 MPa) at 160-170 DEG C, so that n-hexylamine (purity > 99.5%), di-n-hexylamine (purity > 99.5%) and tri-n-hexylamine (purity > 98.5%) can be obtained by distillation.

[0043] Specifically, see the following examples.

[0044] Example 1: a supported metal catalyst cat.1 prepared in catalyst example 1 is filled in a reactor at 100 ml, raw materials ammonia, hydrogen and n-hexanol are put into a vaporizer at a molar ratio of 3:3:1, and then the mixture is heated and vaporized (about 160 DEG C) and enters the reactor, and the amination reaction is carried out at a temperature of 180 DEG C, a pressure of 1.0 MPa and a space velocity of 0.25 h -1 The amination reaction is carried out at a space velocity of 0.25 h

[0045] The liquid phase product and the gas phase product formed after the amination reaction are cooled by condensation and enter a crude product tank, the liquid phase product is stored in the crude product tank (which can be separated according to the above method subsequently), and the gas phase product is discharged to a water absorption system through a vent line at the top of the crude product tank.

[0046] The liquid phase product is a crude n-hexylamine product, and the total conversion rate of n-hexanol is 96.8% by gas chromatography analysis, wherein the selectivity of n-hexylamine is 81.8%, the selectivity of di-n-hexylamine is 12.4%, and the selectivity of tri-n-hexylamine is 3.3%.

[0047] Example 2: a supported metal catalyst cat.2 prepared in catalyst example 2 is filled in a reactor at 100 ml, and the rest is the same as example 1. The total conversion rate of n-hexanol is 93.1% by gas chromatography analysis, wherein the selectivity of n-hexylamine is 64.2%, the selectivity of di-n-hexylamine is 21.1%, and the selectivity of tri-n-hexylamine is 10.6%.

[0048] Example 3: a supported metal catalyst cat.3 prepared in catalyst example 3 is filled in a reactor at 100 ml, and the rest is the same as example 1. The total conversion rate of n-hexanol is 87.3% by gas chromatography analysis, wherein the selectivity of n-hexylamine is 49.2%, the selectivity of di-n-hexylamine is 23.2%, and the selectivity of tri-n-hexylamine is 21.8%.
