Problems solved by technology

[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the high ratio of water in the non-catalytic hydration reaction of ethylene oxide in the previous literature, or the liquid acid catalyst used for catalytic hydration corrodes equipment, pollutes the environment, and the solid acid catalyst has poor stability or stability and activity. Can not take care of both at the same time, resulting in the defects of high energy consumption and high cost of the method. A method for preparing ethylene glycol by catalytic hydration of ethylene oxide is provided. This method is suitable for low water ratio operation and greatly reduces the excess water in the treatment reaction. The required thermal energy, the catalyst used not only has good activity and selectivity, but also has excellent stability, and has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low production cost

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing ethylene glycol by catalytic hydration of ethylene oxide, which mainly solves the problem that the non-catalytic hydration water ratio of ethylene oxide in the past is too high, or the liquid acid catalyst used for catalytic hydration corrodes equipment, pollutes the environment, and solidifies Acid catalysts are poor in stability or their stability and activity cannot reach the ideal state at the same time. Provide a method for the catalytic hydration of ethylene oxide to prepare ethylene glycol. The solid acid catalyst used in this method uses niobium compounds as the main active component , using at least one selected from germanium, tin, lead, antimony, phosphorus, sulfur, iron or cobalt as additives, reacting to prepare ethylene glycol under conditions of lower water ratio, which can greatly reduce the need for processing excess water The catalyst used not only has good activity and selectivity, but also has excellent stability, prolongs the operation period of the catalyst, and has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low production cost. It can be used in the industrial production of ethylene glycol.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing ethylene glycol by catalytic hydration of ethylene oxide, in particular to a method for preparing ethylene glycol by catalytic hydration of ethylene oxide using a supported niobic acid as a catalyst. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol is an important aliphatic glycol with a wide range of uses. The main purpose is to produce polyester resins, including fibers, films and engineering plastics. It can also be used directly as a coolant and antifreeze. It is also an indispensable substance for the production of alkyd resins, plasticizers, paints, adhesives, surfactants, explosives and capacitor electrolytes. [0003] Using ethylene oxide as a raw material to prepare ethylene glycol, there are two main process routes: one is the direct hydration method, where ethylene oxide and water react to form ethylene glycol under certain conditions. The reaction can proceed without a cat...
