Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pesticide preparation, and in particular to a continuous preparation method and apparatus for diuron. Background Technology

[0002] Diuron, developed by DuPont, is a substituted urea herbicide. It is a selective systemic herbicide that can be absorbed by the roots and leaves of plants, inhibiting the Hill reaction in photosynthesis. It is effective against most annual and perennial weeds, and its efficacy can last for more than 60 days. Currently, the main method for preparing diuron is the relatively mature isocyanate synthesis method. However, with the expansion of production efficiency and increasing environmental protection requirements, the traditional preparation process has shown its shortcomings.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN108863852 discloses a method for preparing diuron, which involves placing dimethylamine aqueous solution and toluene into a reaction vessel, adding 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate dropwise, and controlling the pH value as the endpoint. After maintaining the reaction temperature, diuron solid is separated. This preparation method using dimethylamine aqueous solution as raw material generates a large amount of alkaline wastewater with high ammonia nitrogen values, making it unusable and placing significant pressure on environmental protection. During the reaction, the amount of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate added needs to be controlled by judging the pH endpoint of the reaction system. Sampling is prone to VOC emissions, polluting the environment and negatively impacting the health of production operators. Furthermore, when the system has a high water content, 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate is easily hydrolyzed, producing the insoluble byproduct N,N'-bis(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea.

[0004] In addition, Chinese patent CN104496855 discloses another method for synthesizing diuron. Under a pressure of 0.2-2 MPa, liquid dimethylamine is added dropwise to a 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution, and the reaction is carried out under this pressure. The molar ratio of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate to liquid dimethylamine is controlled at 1:1.05-1.3. After the reaction, the excess dimethylamine is recovered by heating, and then the reaction solution is cooled and post-treated to obtain diuron. This pressurized reaction method is essentially still an addition reaction between 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate and dimethylamine. Excess dimethylamine has low solubility in the solvent and easily escapes in gaseous form, resulting in low recovery efficiency and resource waste. When dimethylamine is in excess, the reaction system is prone to side reactions in a strongly alkaline environment, making production control difficult. Furthermore, liquid dimethylamine storage tanks are major hazard sources, placing significant risk management pressure on production enterprises.

[0005] The aforementioned method for preparing diuron using aqueous or liquid dimethylamine is typically carried out in a batch reactor during industrial production, resulting in low efficiency, significant resource waste, and complex post-processing steps. In particular, when dimethylamine is introduced into the reaction system in gaseous form, the generated diuron precipitates from the solvent and easily clogs the gas inlet pipe, lacking intrinsic safety. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to achieve the continuous preparation of diuron. In view of the above-mentioned technical problem, a method for the continuous preparation of diuron is proposed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing diuron, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Under normal temperature and pressure, dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate and 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution are continuously added to the reactor in a continuous quantitative addition manner. The dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate and 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution generate diuron and carbon dioxide by-product in the reactor.

[0009] S2. The material obtained from the reaction in step S1 is fed into a gas-liquid separator in a continuous feeding manner to separate the gas and liquid, and obtain a mixture of diuron and solvent.

[0010] S3. Perform solid-liquid separation on the mixture obtained in step S2 to obtain diuron solid and solvent;

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate and 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solutions undergo a continuous static mixing reaction in a reactor.

[0012] Furthermore, the 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution in step S1 is composed of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate and a solvent, wherein the solvent is one of toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, N-methylpyrrolidone, tetrahydrofuran, and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.

[0013] Furthermore, the mass concentration of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate in the 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution in step S1 is 5-70%.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the quantitative addition molar ratio of 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate to dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate is between 1:0.5 and 1:0.55.

[0015] Furthermore, the reaction temperature inside the reactor in step S1 is -5 to 65°C.

[0016] Another object of the present invention is to provide a continuous preparation apparatus for diuron, comprising a reactor and a gas-liquid separator, wherein the gas-liquid separator is disposed at the rear end of the reactor;

[0017] The reactor is a continuous static mixing reactor, and the reactor is equipped with a static mixing structure inside.

[0018] Furthermore, the reactor is provided with an inlet A and an outlet B at the front and rear, respectively, and the gas-liquid separator is provided with an inlet C, an outlet D, and a tail gas outlet E. The outlet B of the reactor is connected to the inlet C of the gas-liquid separator. The inlet A is used to add the raw materials dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate and 3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate solution. The inlet C is used for the product of the reactor to enter. The tail gas outlet E is used to pass the carbon dioxide gas generated by the side reaction into the tail gas system. The outlet D is used to pass the mixture of product diuron and solvent into the separation device to obtain diuron solid and solvent.

[0019] Furthermore, a jacket is provided on the outside of the reactor, which is used to regulate the reaction temperature of the reactor. The temperature of the jacket is -10 to 70°C.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) In the continuous preparation method of diuron of the present invention, dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate is used as raw material. It is a near-neutral ionic liquid at room temperature and pressure, which is convenient for metering and controlling the reaction endpoint. It has the characteristics of intrinsic safety. During the reaction, a slight excess of dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate dissolves in the solvent. Therefore, there is no dimethylamine gas emission in the reaction system, which reduces the generation of pollutants in the production and reduces the treatment of subsequent pollutants.

[0022] (2) In the continuous preparation method of diuron of the present invention, a static mixing reactor is used for continuous addition reaction. There are no moving parts inside the reactor, which is safer and more reliable. It realizes efficient and continuous production of diuron, improves production efficiency, and has a lower online liquid holding capacity and higher preparation efficiency compared with the existing technology that uses a batch reactor.

[0023] (3) In the continuous preparation method of diuron of the present invention, the reaction type is a fast reaction with a high conversion rate. The post-processing is simple and no wastewater is generated. The by-product carbon dioxide can be directly recycled for the preparation of dimethylamine N,N-dimethylcarbamate after purification, which reduces energy waste.

[0024] (4) The continuous preparation method of diuron of the present invention has the advantages of continuous operation, high efficiency and simplicity, near-zero emission, mild reaction conditions and no clogging phenomenon. It can effectively shorten the reaction time, improve production efficiency, reduce safety risks, and the product yield can reach more than 96% and the purity can reach more than 98%.

[0028] Specifically, a static mixing reactor 1 is used for the continuous addition reaction, which has a lower online liquid hold-up than the traditional batch reactor, resulting in higher reaction efficiency and greater safety and reliability. The continuous reactor has a static mixing structure in its internal channels, which is more conducive to thorough mixing of raw materials, avoids uneven local reactions, effectively suppresses the occurrence of side reactions, and improves product content and yield.

[0032] As a feasible technical solution, the quantitative addition process can be achieved by controlling the flow rate ratio using a quantitative pump.

[0033] S2. The material obtained from the reaction in step S1 enters the gas-liquid separator 2 for gas-liquid separation to obtain a mixture of diuron and solvent, which is then discharged through outlet D for solid-liquid separation; the by-product carbon dioxide enters the tail gas treatment system for purification through tail gas outlet E.

[0034] S3. The mixture obtained in step S2 is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain diuron solid and solvent. The solvent can be recycled, saving solvent consumption and reducing energy waste.

[0035] Specifically, the reaction formula in this embodiment is:

[0036]

This system offers advantages such as continuous operation, high efficiency and simplicity, near-zero emissions, and mild reaction conditions.
