Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, and particularly to a method for continuously preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane from carbon tetrachloride and ethylene via a telomerization reaction under the action of a catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane (TCP) is a raw material for the synthesis of 3,3,3-trifluoropropylene (TFP). 3,3,3-Trifluoropropylene is a basic raw material for the synthesis of high-performance polymer materials such as fluorosilicone oil, fluorosilicone rubber, and fluorosilicone coatings. In particular, fluorosilicone rubber not only has the high and low temperature resistance (-55~205℃) of silicone rubber, but also the fuel oil resistance and chemical media resistance of fluororubber. It is now widely used in modern industries such as aerospace, aircraft, automobiles, and artificial organs, as well as in defense, transportation, and medicine. 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane is also a raw material for the synthesis of the new generation refrigerant HFO-1234yf. HFO1234yf, as a fourth-generation refrigerant, has an ODP of 0, a GWP of 4, and an atmospheric lifetime of only 11 days. It is considered a direct replacement for HFC-134a and has already been used in the European automotive market. It is expected that there will be a very large market value increase globally after 2021.
[0003] In existing technologies, 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane is generally synthesized by telomerization of carbon tetrachloride and ethylene. The main production method for carbon tetrachloride is the co-production of methane chloride. Domestic demand for methane chloride is increasing year by year, and the capacity of related equipment is also continuously increasing. As a byproduct of methane chloride production, the output of carbon tetrachloride will also show an upward trend. According to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, as an ODS (Ozone Depleting Substance), carbon tetrachloride will be restricted from sale and prohibited from use as a solvent by 2010. Carbon tetrachloride will face a severe oversupply situation. The production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane not only realizes the high-value utilization of carbon tetrachloride but also reduces the ozone layer depletion caused by carbon tetrachloride emissions and alleviates the production pressure on methane chlorination enterprises.
[0004] Domestic research papers on the telomerization of carbon tetrachloride and ethylene to synthesize 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane all use single-reactor intermittent reactions, with transition metals such as copper chloride, ferric chloride, and iron powder as the main catalysts and phosphate esters or amines as co-catalysts. The disadvantages of this process are: (1) Telomerization is a pressurized reaction, and it is difficult to design a single-reactor output for such intermittent or semi-continuous reactions, resulting in high operational risks; (2) The reaction cycle is usually 5-10 hours, resulting in low production efficiency, high by-product content, and difficulty in separating iron powder catalyst, which affects product quality and increases separation costs; (3) The reaction uses mechanical stirring, which consumes a lot of electricity. Sinochem Modern Environmental Protection and Sinochem Blue Sky Group disclosed a continuous method for preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane in patent CN201510130347.2. This continuous method uses a reactor for continuous feeding and continuous discharging, but it still cannot solve many of the disadvantages of reactor reactions, such as long residence time, serious backmixing of reactants, mechanical stirring, and separation of iron powder catalyst. Existing technologies for the chemipolymerization of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane from carbon tetrachloride and ethylene primarily rely on batch reactors, which can only operate with limited market demand. However, the future market demand for 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane is expected to be strong, which will inevitably place high demands on the industrialization technology of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane. This will require large single-unit production capacity and a high degree of continuous operation, which batch reactors clearly cannot meet the needs of large-scale industrial production.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need in the field to develop a method for the continuous reaction production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane. Summary of the Invention

[0029] It should be understood that, within the scope of this invention, the above-described technical features of this invention and the technical features specifically described below (such as in the embodiments) can be combined with each other to form new or preferred technical solutions. Due to space limitations, they will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description
[0030] Figure 1 This is a line graph showing the running time, tetrachloropropane concentration, and carbon tetrachloride conversion rate in Example 8 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0031] Through long-term and in-depth research, the inventors have designed a flow cytometry method for preparing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane. This method prepares 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane via a continuous reaction process. The method of this invention has a large single-unit production capacity and a high degree of continuity, making it suitable for the industrial-scale continuous production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane. Based on the above findings, the inventors completed this invention.
[0032] Flow Cytometry Preparation Method of 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane
[0033] In this invention, the method includes using iron-based materials as the main catalyst, phosphate esters and amines as co-catalysts, dissolving a certain amount of co-catalysts in carbon tetrachloride feedstock, and continuously feeding ethylene into the reactor at a certain flow rate, ratio, and feeding method. Under a certain reaction temperature and pressure, the feedstock is continuously discharged into a cold trap to collect crude 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane. Ethylene gas is recycled and incorporated into the ethylene feed pipeline to continue the reaction. The crude product is separated into 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane product by distillation, and unreacted carbon tetrachloride is incorporated into the feed pipeline to continue the reaction.
[0034] As one implementation scheme, the main catalyst described in this method is an iron-based material, which can be pure iron, including but not limited to iron particles, iron sand, iron balls, Raschig rings, Pall rings, iron wire mesh, and byproducts from iron processing. Alternatively, ferric nitrate can be loaded onto a porous support material, calcined at high temperature to obtain iron oxide, and then reduced online with hydrogen to obtain an iron catalyst loaded on the porous support material. The porous support material includes, but is not limited to, silica gel, activated carbon, alumina, and silicon dioxide; the calcination temperature is 500-1000℃, preferably 600-800℃; the hydrogen reduction time is 1-8 hours, preferably 3-5 hours; and the hydrogen reduction temperature is 100-800℃, preferably 400-600℃.
[0035] The iron catalyst is loaded into a tubular reactor and reacted in a fixed-bed configuration. In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst loading is 60-90% (v / v)% of the reactor volume, preferably 65-75% (v / v)%.
[0036] An appropriate amount of co-catalyst is added to the carbon tetrachloride feedstock. The amount of co-catalyst is 0.01-10 wt% (based on the amount of carbon tetrachloride), preferably 0.1-5 wt%. If the amount of co-catalyst is too low, the conversion rate of the reaction will be too low. If the amount of co-catalyst is too high, a large amount of substances insoluble in the reactants will be formed during the reaction, causing rapid corrosion of the iron catalyst and making subsequent separation difficult.
[0037] As one embodiment, the cocatalyst described in this method includes, but is not limited to, triethyl phosphate, trimethyl phosphate, tributyl phosphate, triethyl phosphite, trimethyl phosphite, tributyl phosphite, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, and N-ethylpyrrolidone.
[0038] During the reaction, carbon tetrachloride is pumped into the reactor, and ethylene is introduced into the reactor through a flow meter. Both materials can enter the reactor according to a suitable feeding method, such as gas-liquid co-flow upwards through the catalyst bed, gas-liquid co-flow downwards through the reactor bed, or gas-liquid cross-flow. The reaction is carried out at 60-150℃, preferably 90-120℃, at a reaction pressure of 0.1-2.0 MPa, preferably 0.8-1.1 MPa, and at a residence time of 1-60 minutes, preferably 5-30 minutes.
[0039] The mixture after the reaction was distilled to recover unreacted carbon tetrachloride and co-catalyst, and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane product.
[0040] As one implementation scheme, the reactor described in this method is a tubular fixed-bed reactor with a plug flow continuous reaction. The iron catalyst is loaded at 70-90% of the reactor volume, and the reaction is a gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction.
[0041] Typically, at least one of carbon tetrachloride and ethylene is in excess. In this case, the ratio of carbon tetrachloride to ethylene is selected with carbon tetrachloride in excess, and the molar ratio of carbon tetrachloride to ethylene is (1-10):1, preferably (1-5):1.
[0042] As one implementation scheme, the reaction temperature of this method is 60-150℃, preferably 90-120℃, the reaction pressure is 0.1-2.0MPa, preferably 0.8-1.1MPa, and the reaction residence time is 1-60 minutes, preferably 5-30 minutes.
[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages and outstanding effects:
[0044] This invention uses pure iron and supported iron materials as the main catalysts, and phosphate esters or nitrogen-containing compounds as co-catalysts. The co-catalysts and main catalysts form complexes that dissolve in the reactants and exert their catalytic effect. A tubular fixed-bed reactor is used to achieve continuous reaction, resulting in simple equipment. The iron catalyst not only acts as a catalyst in the reaction but also enhances heat transfer. The advantages of this invention are high catalytic efficiency, short reaction residence time, low by-product levels, no need for catalyst separation in subsequent processes, simple process equipment, and suitability for continuous industrial production. In particular, the porous material-supported iron-based catalyst prepared in this invention has a larger specific surface area, more catalytic active sites, and higher catalytic efficiency compared to pure iron materials, while also reducing reactor weight and improving operating efficiency.
