Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical process technology, specifically to a method for treating nitromethane tail gas and a method for producing nitromethane. Background Technology
[0002] Nitromethane (CH3NO2) is an organic compound, a colorless, oily liquid, slightly soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol, ether, and dimethylformamide. It is used in organic synthesis to produce pesticides such as chloropicrin and nitro alcohols, as well as explosives, rocket fuel, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, and gasoline additives. It can also be used as an organic solvent. Domestically, nitromethane is mainly produced through a substitution reaction between dimethyl sulfate and sodium nitrite. Due to the similar nucleophilicity of the two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom on the nitro group, a large amount of the isomer methyl nitrite—a nitromethane—is inevitably generated during the process. Methyl nitrite is the main harmful component in nitromethane tail gas. Methyl nitrite is a toxic, flammable, and explosive gas; it is almost insoluble in water and easily decomposes into nitrogen oxides when heated or exposed to light. Due to the instability and low solubility of methyl nitrite in water, its industrial treatment has been a major challenge hindering the sustainable, stable, and healthy development of the nitromethane industry. Current technologies primarily employ alkaline aqueous solutions for nitromethane tail gas treatment. However, this method suffers from very low water solubility of methyl nitrite, resulting in a limited effective reaction rate and a small amount of methyl nitrite being absorbed and reacted. A significant portion of the methyl nitrite remains discharged with the tail gas, leading to the production of large amounts of nitrogen oxides from the decomposition of methyl nitrite, making it difficult to meet national standards for industrial nitrogen oxide emissions and thus detrimental to environmental protection. Therefore, properly treating nitromethane tail gas will be beneficial for the sustainable industrial production of nitromethane. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a method for treating nitromethane tail gas, which solves the problem of purifying and absorbing nitromethane tail gas in the prior art, reduces the emission of nitrogen oxides in the tail gas, and is beneficial to environmental protection.
[0004] Specifically, the above-mentioned method for treating nitromethane tail gas includes the following steps:
[0005] Step 1: Mix sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution with lower aliphatic glycol and organic base to form a mixed solution, and then preheat it;
[0006] Step 2: Pass the nitromethane tail gas into the mixed solution described in Step 1 for reaction;
[0007] Step 3: Separate and purify the reaction products to obtain the corresponding sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite products.
[0008] Specifically, the aforementioned nitromethane tail gas can be the tail gas generated by reacting sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite with dimethyl sulfate to prepare nitromethane.
[0009] Specifically, the above-mentioned method for treating nitromethane tail gas involves reacting methyl nitrite, the main component of the nitromethane tail gas, with sodium hydroxide, thereby removing methyl nitrite, the primary source of excessive nitrogen oxide emissions in the nitromethane tail gas. The reaction between methyl nitrite and sodium hydroxide is shown in the following formula:
[0010]
[0011] Specifically, the organic base mentioned in step 1 is selected from triethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, or hexamethylenetetramine. The organic base acts as a catalyst in this reaction system, accelerating the treatment speed of nitromethane tail gas and shortening the time required for nitromethane tail gas to meet emission standards. The hydrolysis reaction of methyl nitrite with sodium hydroxide is similar to a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The methyl group in methyl nitrite combines with the hydroxide ion in sodium hydroxide to form methanol. However, the reaction rate of methyl nitrite with the alkaline solution is very low. Triethylamine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, or hexamethylenetetramine are tertiary amines, lacking hydrogen atoms on nitrogen, making them less prone to other side reactions. They can also increase the nucleophilic reaction rate of hydroxide ions in the nucleophilic substitution reaction, thus accelerating the reaction rate of methyl nitrite with sodium hydroxide.
[0012] Specifically, the reaction temperature in step 2 is 75-90℃, such as 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, etc. In this invention, nitromethane tail gas is directly passed into an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to react with lower aliphatic diols and organic bases to form a mixed solution. The reaction temperature should not be too high, as excessively high temperatures can cause methyl nitrite to decompose and produce toxic gases.
[0013] Specifically, the lower aliphatic diol mentioned in step 1 is selected from ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, or 1,3-propanediol. This invention does not use methanol, ethanol, or diethyl ether, which are readily soluble in methyl nitrite, as solvents; instead, it chooses lower aliphatic diols. On the one hand, this invention reacts at a heating temperature of 75-90°C, at which temperature methanol, ethanol, and diethyl ether are gaseous and unsuitable as organic solvents for dissolving methyl nitrite. On the other hand, this invention produces methanol as a byproduct in the treatment of nitromethane tail gas. Lower aliphatic diols such as ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, or 1,3-propanediol have significantly different boiling points from methanol and are higher than methanol, making it easier to remove and recover the methanol. Specifically, a water separator is used to remove the generated methanol. As methanol is removed from the reaction system, the reaction proceeds in the forward direction.
[0014] Specifically, in step 1, the amount of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, lower aliphatic diol, and organic base can be adjusted according to the amount of nitromethane tail gas being treated.
[0015] Specifically, in step 1, the mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution is 30%-50%, such as 30%, 40%, or 50%. A certain mass concentration of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution not only increases the solubility of sodium hydroxide in lower aliphatic diols, which is beneficial for the contact reaction between methyl nitrite and sodium hydroxide, but also allows it to be mixed with liquid triethylamine, or to dissolve solid 4-dimethylaminopyridine or hexamethylenetetramine.
[0016] Specifically, in step 1, the mass ratio of the aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to the lower aliphatic diol and the organic base is 1:(0.5-1):(0.01-0.2).
[0017] The mixed solution described in step 1 can be single-stage or multi-stage. When the nitromethane tail gas emission does not meet the standards, the mixed solution is multi-stage, specifically two-stage, three-stage, four-stage, etc. The nitromethane tail gas is passed through the first stage reaction before being introduced into the next stage, until the nitromethane tail gas emission meets the standards. When the nitromethane tail gas emission meets the standards, the introduction into the next stage is stopped. This continuous treatment of nitromethane tail gas ensures that nitromethane production is not interrupted due to tail gas issues.
[0018] The emission standards for nitromethane tail gas can be referenced in GB16297-1996 Integrated Emission Standard for Air Pollutants, such as the nitrogen oxide emission concentration limit of 240 mg / m³. 3 .
[0019] Specifically, the flow rate of the nitromethane tail gas introduced in step 2 can be selected by those skilled in the art based on engineering adaptation.
[0020] Specifically, to accelerate the treatment of nitromethane tail gas and promote uniform reaction, stirring can be employed depending on the actual situation, such as magnetic stirring or mechanical stirring. For example, with magnetic stirring, the stirring speed can be controlled at 100-300 r / min. If the stirring speed is too low, it will not accelerate the reaction between the nitromethane tail gas and the mixed solution; if the stirring speed is too high, the nitromethane tail gas will overflow, which is detrimental to its treatment. Therefore, a suitable stirring speed ensures sufficient contact and reaction between the nitromethane tail gas and the mixed solution without overflowing.
[0021] Specifically, step 3 involves directly cooling the reaction solution or first evaporating and concentrating it before cooling it to 0-10°C (e.g., 0°C, 5°C, 8°C, 10°C, etc.), and then filtering it to obtain the corresponding product. Specifically, the filtrate obtained in step 3 can be used as a mother liquor and returned to step 1 to be mixed with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, lower aliphatic diols, and organic bases to form a mixed solution for reuse in nitromethane tail gas treatment. This mother liquor recycling significantly reduces the amount of mixed solution used and lowers tail gas treatment costs.
[0022] The present invention also provides a method for preparing nitromethane by reacting sodium nitrite or potassium hydroxide, the product obtained by the above-mentioned treatment method, with dimethyl sulfate as a raw material for the production of nitromethane by the nitrite replacement method.
[0023] Beneficial effects
[0024] 1. This invention solves the problem of purifying and absorbing nitromethane tail gas in the prior art, reduces the emission of nitrogen oxides in the tail gas, and the reaction is carried out at normal pressure without the need for additional pressurization, so the equipment requirements are not high. The products of the reaction, sodium nitrite or potassium hydroxide, can also be used as raw materials for the production of nitromethane, realizing the treatment of nitromethane tail gas and also allowing for the recycling of nitromethane, which is beneficial to environmental protection.
[0025] 2. This invention solves the problem of low efficiency and poor effect of traditional sodium hydroxide absorption of nitromethane tail gas. The nitromethane tail gas treatment method of this invention is simple in process, low in investment cost, and can continuously treat nitromethane tail gas, thus fully ensuring the continuous production of nitromethane.
[0026] 3. This invention realizes the production of nitromethane by recycling nitromethane tail gas, which saves the purchase cost of raw materials and reduces the emission of nitromethane tail gas, turning nitromethane tail gas into a valuable resource and realizing the resource reuse of tail gas.

[0063] Comparative Example 2
[0064] (1) Prepare multiple four-necked flasks connected in series. Add 20g of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 40% and 20g of ethylene glycol to each four-necked flask.

[0065] (2) The nitromethane tail gas, as in Example 1, was introduced into the first-stage four-necked flask via a conduit at a flow rate of 5 L / min for reaction.

If the nitrogen oxide emissions were higher than or equal to 240 mg / m³, the reaction was considered successful. 3 The gas is then introduced sequentially into a series of four-necked flasks for the reaction. If the nitrogen oxide emissions are below 240 mg / m³, the reaction proceeds. 3 Then it is unnecessary to pass the reaction into the next stage;

[0072] Comparative Example 1 illustrates an existing multi-stage alkaline treatment method for nitromethane tail gas. Despite multi-stage alkaline treatment, the nitrogen oxide concentration remained high. Comparative Example 2, without the presence of organic bases, while able to treat the tail gas, required more stages of treatment, resulting in a longer time to meet emission standards. This demonstrates that the presence of a certain amount of organic base significantly shortens the reaction time, indicating a significant catalytic effect of organic bases in this reaction system. Commonly used solvents such as methanol and ethanol are gaseous at the reaction temperature of 75-90℃ in this invention, making them unsuitable as liquid-phase reaction solvents. Comparative Example 3, without the addition of lower aliphatic diols, still exhibited a high nitrogen oxide concentration after multi-stage treatment. As can be seen from Examples 1-5, nitromethane tail gas is continuously produced during nitromethane production. Under heating conditions, it undergoes a purification reaction with a mixed solution formed by sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, lower aliphatic diols, and organic bases. The main reaction involves the reaction of methyl nitrite in the nitromethane tail gas with sodium hydroxide to remove methyl nitrite. The organic base acts as a catalyst, significantly reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. The method of this invention for treating nitromethane tail gas produces sodium nitrite which can be recycled to produce nitromethane, effectively reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, meeting environmental emission standards, and realizing the resource utilization of nitromethane tail gas.
