Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of organic chemical industry, in particular, to a method for preparing disulfide by oxidizing mercaptan. BACKGROUND

[0002] Disulfides are also important and widely used intermediates in the field of organic synthetic chemistry, which can be used to synthesize rubber scorch retarder, fine fragrance, dietary supplement and antioxidant, etc. In particular, dimethyl disulfide can be used as a coking inhibitor, a passivator and a vulcanizing agent in industry, and as an effective soil fumigant in agriculture, with a global annual demand of 300,000 tons and a domestic demand of about 70,000 tons / year.

[0003] Due to the presence of mercaptan compounds in crude oil, the Merox deodorization process for fuel oil has been developed since the 1950s. The process is that mercaptan is first activated to obtain sodium mercaptide by sodium hydroxide, and then coupled to obtain disulfide under the action of cobalt phthalocyanine and oxygen. With the reaction, the production of water requires the removal of part of the alkali liquor, which also leads to the generation of solid alkali waste residue and the loss of cobalt phthalocyanine. Although the subsequent development of alkali-free deodorization technology has made significant breakthroughs in process, it still needs to continuously inject alkaline mercaptan activators such as quaternary ammonium base.

[0004] Therefore, the development of alkali-free heterogeneous system for preparing disulfide by oxidizing mercaptan is the direction of researchers. However, most of the reports focus on using hydrogen peroxide and urea hydrogen peroxide as oxidants, and there are few studies on the oxidation of mercaptan using oxygen or air as oxidant under mild conditions. Although noble metal catalysts such as Ag nanoparticles (Gaur R, Yadav M, Gupta R, Arora G, Rana P, Sharma RK. Chemistry Select 2018, 3(9).) and Au / CeO2(Corma A, Ródenas T, Sabater MJ. Chemical Science 2012, 3(2): 398-404.) have good activity, the cost problem still cannot be well solved. Using nickel nanoparticles as catalyst (Saxena A, Kumar A, Mozumdar S. Ni-nanoparticles: Journal of Molecular Catalysis A Chemical 2007, 269(1-2): 35-40.), the oxidation coupling of aliphatic, aromatic and cyclic aromatic mercaptans can be realized to prepare various disulfides at room temperature, but it has the problems of easy deactivation and few cycles.
