Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of hexanediamine preparation, in particular, a catalyst for synthesizing hexanediamine from hexamethyleneimine and a preparation method thereof and a method for synthesizing hexanediamine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hexanediamine is an important chemical raw material, which is often used to synthesize nylon 66, nylon 610, HDI and other important industrial products. All industrial hexanediamine is prepared by hydrogenation of adiponitrile.

[0003] The synthesis of hexanediamine from caprolactam is a new route. Caprolactam and ammonia undergo ammoniation and dehydration reaction under the catalysis of phosphate catalyst to generate aminocapronitrile; then aminocapronitrile undergoes catalytic hydrogenation reaction to obtain hexanediamine. Compared with the traditional production route, the caprolactam method avoids the use of hydrocyanic acid, adiponitrile and other toxic raw materials, has the characteristics of environmental friendliness, simple and safe operation, no special equipment requirement, easy industrialization production, etc., and is a green production route of hexanediamine. However, the process is still limited by raw materials, the production scale is very small, the annual production capacity is only 6000 tons, and the product is only used for the company's downstream products.

[0004] In recent years, with the rapid growth of caprolactam production capacity in China, the source problem of upstream raw material caprolactam has been solved from the source. The process of preparing hexanediamine from caprolactam was first reported by US2234566 and US2181140 patents of DuPont Company in the 1940s. The process is divided into three steps. The first step is that caprolactam and ammonia undergo ammoniation ring-opening reaction under the action of catalyst to generate 6-aminocaproyl amide, 6-aminocaproyl amide is dehydrated to remove oxygen atom to generate 6-aminocapronitrile, and then 6-aminocapronitrile is hydrogenated to obtain hexanediamine. This process was industrialized by Japan Toray in 1965, and is mainly used for the recycling of caprolactam substandard or waste nylon and other waste raw materials recovered from nylon 6 plant. Therefore, this process has not been economically viable.

[0005] US2234566 discloses a process for synthesizing 6-aminocapronitrile from caprolactam using copper supported on silica as a dehydration catalyst, and the caprolactam conversion rate is 21.7%, the 6-aminocapronitrile yield is 25%, and the patent does not disclose the yield of hexamethylenediamine. US3855267 discloses a process for synthesizing 6-aminocapronitrile from caprolactam and ammonia gas by passing the mixed gas through an aluminum phosphate catalyst, and the 6-aminocapronitrile selectivity is 87% when the ammonia / caprolactam molar ratio is 75-100. The above two methods for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile have the disadvantages of low catalyst activity and high energy consumption. CN107739318A discloses a process and device for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile from caprolactam in a liquid phase, which uses phosphoric acid or a phosphoric acid salt as a catalyst, and the yield is not high, which is about 50% according to the examples. This method has the disadvantages of complex catalyst and solvent separation, high energy consumption, and low caprolactam conversion rate. The process for synthesizing 6-aminocapronitrile from caprolactam disclosed in CN107602416A is similar to US2234566, and the reaction temperature for preparing 6-aminocapronitrile from caprolactam in a gas phase is about 350°C, and the contact time between caprolactam and ammonia gas is less than 1 second, which is difficult to control.

[0006] In summary, the existing process for synthesizing hexamethylenediamine from caprolactam amination to generate 6-aminocapronitrile and then hydrogenation of 6-aminocapronitrile to obtain hexamethylenediamine has the problems of low raw material conversion rate and low catalyst activity.
