Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and in particular relates to a method and system for the green preparation of hexamethylene diisocyanate. Background Technology

[0002] Isocyanates are important organic synthesis intermediates, widely used in pharmaceuticals, dyes, adhesives, sealants, and other fields. They are also a crucial raw material for the synthesis of polyurethane, with approximately 90% of the isocyanates produced annually used in polyurethane materials. Currently, more than 50 types of isocyanates are industrially produced globally, with larger production volumes including phenyl diisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), polyphenylene polymethyl isocyanate (PAPI), and hexamethylene diisocyanate. Compared to TDI, MDI, and PAPI, HDI, an aliphatic isocyanate, possesses a saturated molecular structure and less steric hindrance, resulting in products with excellent light stability, heat resistance, yellowing resistance, and weather resistance, giving it significant market application value.

[0003] Currently, HDI is mainly produced worldwide through the phosgene process. Although this method has a mature synthesis process and is economical, it also has the following problems: (1) The process is complex and the reaction conditions are harsh; (2) A large amount of highly toxic phosgene gas is required during the production process, which leads to strict restrictions on the storage, transportation and use of raw materials; (3) Highly corrosive hydrochloric acid is generated as a byproduct, which can easily corrode equipment; (4) The residual chlorine in the product is difficult to remove, which directly affects the performance of the product. Therefore, with the development of technology and the increasing environmental protection requirements, the phosgene process has gradually been restricted, and the simple, economical and environmentally friendly non-phosgene synthesis method has gained more favor.

[0004] Many green, non-phosgene methods for synthesizing HDI have been reported in patents and literature, such as the carbonylation of nitro compounds, the carbonylation of hexamethylenediamine, the cyanation method, and the thermal decomposition of carbamates. Among them, the thermal decomposition of carbamates has the advantages of a clean process and environmentally friendly raw materials, making it the process with the greatest potential for industrialization. This process is mainly achieved through two steps: (1) preparing the intermediate methyl hexamethylenedicarbamate (HDU); (2) catalytically thermally decomposing the synthesized intermediate HDU to prepare HDI and the byproduct methanol.

[0005] The thermal decomposition of HDU to prepare HDI is the most important and challenging step in the urethane thermal decomposition route for HDI production. The reaction conditions not only affect the reaction rate but, more importantly, the yield and quality of the HDI product. The thermal decomposition process of HDU mainly consists of two steps, with the latter requiring more energy than the former.

[0006] (1) HDU first pyrolyzes the methyl formate group at one end to generate the intermediate hexamethylene 1-(-6-carbamate) isocyanate (HMI).

[0007]

[0008] (2) The intermediate HMI undergoes thermal decomposition upon further heating to form HDI.

[0009]

[0010] Currently, the main problems with this step are as follows: (1) The generated isocyanate is very easy to react with the generated byproduct methanol to generate methyl carbamate; (2) The generated HDI reacts with the raw material HDU to form a polymer; (3) HDI self-polymerizes under high temperature conditions to generate trimer.

[0011] To overcome the above problems, the following measures can be taken: (1) Remove the methanol generated by the reaction from the thermal decomposition system as soon as possible; (2) Use a highly efficient catalyst to reduce the thermal decomposition temperature and time; (3) Add a heat carrier (i.e. an inert solvent that does not react with the raw materials and products) to the reaction system to reduce the concentration of isocyanate and avoid the occurrence of side reactions.

[0012] Patent CN101530785A discloses a method for preparing HDI using a two-component inert solvent (composed of an inert solvent with a higher boiling point and an inert solvent with a lower boiling point). The method utilizes the evaporation of the low-boiling-point solvent to remove byproduct alcohols, thus promoting the thermal decomposition reaction. However, the evaporation of the low-boiling-point solvent increases the concentration of substances, leading to side reactions.

[0013] Patent CN102964272A discloses a method for preparing HDI by catalytic thermal decomposition of HDU using a composite catalyst. This process achieves a high HDI yield, greater than 92%, but because the reaction uses only a high-boiling-point heat transfer medium, the generated alcohols are difficult to separate from the system in a timely manner, resulting in low HDI purity.

[0014] Patent CN114456091A discloses an apparatus for preparing HDI by pyrolyzing HDU in a mixed solvent. This patent achieves the separation and collection of products, by-products and medium-boiling-point heat carriers by adding a product separator. However, the products, by-products and medium-boiling-point heat carriers need to enter the product separator in a certain order, so the production efficiency is low and the product purity is low, only about 40%. Summary of the Invention

[0015] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a green and efficient preparation system for hexamethylene diisocyanate to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0021] Furthermore, the heat carrier outlet of the distillation unit is connected to the heat carrier inlet of the mixing tank.

[0022] Furthermore, the preparation system also includes a product condenser, which is located between the distillation unit and the product tank. The outlet of the distillation unit is connected to the inlet of the product condenser, and the outlet of the product condenser is connected to the inlet of the product tank.

[0023] A green preparation method for hexamethylene diisocyanate, utilizing any of the above-described green preparation systems for hexamethylene diisocyanate, includes the following steps:

[0024] S1: Under nitrogen protection, the raw material hexamethylene dicarboxylate, heat carrier and catalyst are added to the mixing tank, mixed evenly and preheated to obtain a mixture;

[0025] S2: The mixed solution obtained in step S1 is transported to the first thermal decomposition reaction device to carry out a thermal decomposition reaction to obtain a mixed solution;

[0026] S3: The mixture obtained in step S2 is transported to the second thermal decomposition reaction device and heated to carry out a secondary thermal decomposition reaction to obtain a mixture containing the target product and the heat carrier.

[0027] S4: The mixture obtained in step S3 is transported to a distillation unit for distillation. The distilled product is transported to a product tank, and the distilled heat carrier is transported back to the batching tank for recycling via pipeline.

[0028] Furthermore, in S1, the mass ratio of hexamethylene dicarboxylate, heat carrier, and catalyst is 1:1-20:0.01-0.5, and the preheating temperature is 70-120℃.

[0029] Furthermore, the heat transfer medium in S1 is composed of a low-boiling-point heat transfer medium and a high-boiling-point heat transfer medium, and the mass ratio of the low-boiling-point heat transfer medium to the high-boiling-point heat transfer medium is 1:1-20.

[0030] Preferably, the low-boiling-point heat transfer fluid is a solvent with a normal boiling point of 100-200℃ and that does not react with isocyanates and alcohols, including toluene, xylene, o-chlorotoluene, p-chlorotoluene, and p-dichlorobenzene;

[0031] Preferably, the high-boiling-point heat transfer fluid is a solvent with a normal-pressure boiling point greater than 290°C that does not react with isocyanates and alcohols, including diethyl phthalate, diethyl terephthalate, dioctyl terephthalate, and dioctyl phthalate.

[0032] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the first thermal decomposition reaction in S2 is 150-200℃, the reaction pressure is -0.05-1.0MPa, and the reaction time is 2-6h;

[0033] Preferably, the reaction temperature of the second thermal decomposition reaction in S3 is 200-250℃, the reaction pressure is -0.05-1.0MPa, and the reaction time is 0.5-2.5h.

[0034] Compared with existing technologies, the green preparation method and system for hexamethylene diisocyanate described in this invention has the following advantages:

[0035] (1) The present invention uses a first thermal decomposition reaction device and a second thermal decomposition reaction device connected in series to allow the raw material hexamethylene dicarboxylate to undergo preliminary decomposition at a lower temperature, and then further decompose it at a higher temperature to completely prepare the target product hexamethylene diisocyanate. This can avoid the product hexamethylene diisocyanate from staying at high temperature for too long, thereby avoiding further polymerization reaction.

[0036] (2) The heat carrier described in this invention is a two-component heat carrier composed of a low-boiling-point heat carrier and a high-boiling-point heat carrier, which enables the methanol by-product generated by the thermal decomposition reaction to be continuously carried out of the reaction system by the low-boiling-point heat carrier, thereby promoting the thermal decomposition reaction to proceed in the forward direction.

[0037] (3) By setting up a first condenser and a second condenser, the present invention allows the low-boiling-point heat carrier with a higher boiling point in the mixed steam of the pyrolysis reactor to flow back to the pyrolysis reactor. The methanol, a byproduct with a lower boiling point, is collected by the byproduct tank through the condenser. This avoids the increase in isocyanate concentration due to the large loss of low-boiling-point heat carrier, which would exacerbate the side reactions. At the same time, the high-boiling-point heat carrier group that is always present in the reaction system can also effectively reduce the isocyanate concentration and avoid the occurrence of polymerization side reactions.
