Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of synthesizing isoprene by enal method, relates to application of a catalyst in synthesizing isoprene by enal liquid phase method and a method for synthesizing isoprene by enal liquid phase method, and particularly relates to a method and a catalyst for continuously synthesizing isoprene by enal liquid phase method. Background Art

[0002] Isoprene is the key raw material for synthesizing isoprene rubber, and is also the basic raw material for synthesizing isoprene latex, pharmaceutical intermediates, spices and cross-linking agents, etc. At present, the main method for producing isoprene is C5 separation, and this process yield is low (less than 1.7% of the input raw material), and a rubber device of 100,000 t / a requires an ethylene device of 5 or 6 million tons to meet the supply of isoprene raw materials, and among many chemical synthesis methods, the olefin aldehyde method for synthesizing isoprene has obvious advantages economically. Russia has successively carried out the research of olefin aldehyde two-step method and one-step method (gas phase), and wherein the two-step method for synthesizing isoprene has been industrialized, although the olefin aldehyde one-step method has a short process, the product is easily refined, and each energy consumption is significantly reduced, but there is no industrialized report at present.

[0003] The key to the technology of synthesizing isoprene by enal method is to control the side reaction of formaldehyde and olefins (isobutylene, isoprene) to improve the selectivity. The reaction temperature of the one-step method is relatively high (300℃), the side reaction of formaldehyde is serious, there are many by-products, many high-boiling point compounds are generated, and olefin compounds are easily involved in the carbon formation reaction, and the yield is difficult to exceed 70%. Due to the use of tower reactors and multi-stage separation devices, the advantages of this process can only be reflected when the device scale is large. In contrast, the reaction temperature of the enal liquid phase method is mild (<200℃), the side reaction is highly controllable, and the requirements for equipment and process are low. It has many advantages: ① It reduces the consumption of raw materials and energy for isoprene production; ② It improves the ecological indicators of the production process and reduces the emission of wastewater and waste gas; ③ The product has high purity and low impurity content, which can reduce the cost of isoprene polymerization (polymerization-grade isoprene has strict control over the impurity content, usually requiring isoprene purity>99.4%, cyclopentadiene content<3μg / g, and alkyne content<10μg / g). In 1972, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. of Japan developed a one-step method for synthesizing isoprene, which uses isobutylene or tert-butyl alcohol and formaldehyde as raw materials. The reaction is carried out in liquid phase at 149-160°C, and the residence time in the reactor is 30-50 minutes. The reaction process is that isobutylene and formaldehyde condense to form intermediate products (mainly 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 3-methyl-3-butene-1-ol, 3-methyl-2-butene-1-ol), and the intermediate products are cracked to form isoprene. The generation and cracking of the intermediate products are carried out in the same reactor. In order to suppress side reactions, the molar ratio of formaldehyde to isobutylene or tert-butyl alcohol is 1:1.2 (Oil & Gas Journal, 1972, 70(26)). Japanese Kuraray (EP83110225.6, US4511751, US4593145) reported the process in detail, using sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid or boric acid as a catalyst, firstly introducing an acidic aqueous solution into the reactor, heating to 170-180°C, forming a pressure of about 10atm, introducing tert-butyl alcohol, formaldehyde and water at a certain rate, and after the system is stable, the pressure is about 12-20atm, and the gaseous product flows out from the top of the reactor and is collected after cooling. Control the reaction time, the molar ratio of C4 / formaldehyde>3, when the molar ratio is less than 3, the isoprene yield decreases, from the perspective of selectivity, the larger the olefin ratio, the better, but too large an olefin ratio does not significantly improve the isoprene yield, and will significantly increase the heat consumption.

[0004] Eurochem has developed a new environmentally friendly enal liquid phase process (two-stage process), which is slightly different from the above process. It uses formaldehyde and tert-butyl alcohol as raw materials to first generate DMD, and then reacts DMD with tert-butyl alcohol in the liquid phase to generate isoprene. This method can effectively improve the selectivity of formaldehyde. In 2003, the Nizhnekamsk Petrochemical Company of Russia applied the enal liquid phase process to produce isoprene on a large scale. At present, the company has replaced the original enal two-step process technology with this technology, with a production capacity of 180,000 t / a (Petrochemicals, 1(2):103-104, Fine Petrochemicals, 2012, 29, 77-82). According to the published patent (EP2157072A1), the process uses phosphoric acid as the base catalyst. The typical result is that 9L phosphoric acid solution (7%) is added to the reactor, and the temperature is raised to 110°C and 160°C respectively. 40% formaldehyde (256.6g / h) and 88% tert-butanol (860g / h) are added to reactor 1. The pressure of the reactor is 22atm. The product of reactor 1 is mixed with tert-butanol (2015.9g / h) and enters reactor 2. The pressure of reactor 2 is 12atm. The selectivity of formaldehyde and isobutylene is 75% and 82% respectively. The intermediate products 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 3-methyl-3-butene-1-ol, etc. are the intermediate products of the liquid phase synthesis of isoprene, and are also the key to restricting the production efficiency of isoprene. Although the high olefinic aldehyde ratio effectively inhibits the formaldehyde side reaction, it also reduces the production efficiency of the intermediate products. The recovery and hydration reuse of a large amount of isobutylene also generates more energy consumption.

[0005] Therefore, how to find a more suitable method for synthesizing isoprene by the enaldehyde method to further inhibit the occurrence of side reactions and improve production efficiency has become one of the focuses of widespread attention of forward-looking researchers in the industry.
