Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydroformylation reaction, and specifically relates to a method and application of olefin hydroformylation. Background Art

[0002] The olefin reacts with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to undergo a hydroformylation reaction. The hydroformylation method comprises contacting an olefinic unsaturated compound with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst under reaction conditions. The catalyst used in the hydroformylation reaction in industrial production is generally a cobalt (Co)-based or rhodium (Rh)-based catalyst.

[0003] Compared with cobalt catalysts, Rh complexes have higher reaction activity and can react at milder temperatures and pressures. However, rhodium catalysts have poor high-temperature performance and are difficult to use for carbonylation of advanced olefins. Existing rhodium catalysts have good catalytic effects on terminal olefins, but poor activity on internal olefins. The catalyst is oil-soluble and product separation is also difficult, making post-processing more complicated. Rhodium, as a precious metal resource, is scarce and expensive, and its recovery and reuse cost is high.

[0004] EP2881173A4 discloses a catalyst composition and a method for hydroformylating olefins using the catalyst composition, wherein the catalyst composition uses a specific ligand of a transition metal catalyst and a ligand stabilizer in the hydroformylation process of olefins, thereby improving the stability of the catalyst to maintain the catalyst activity, reduce the amount of the ligand, and improve the selectivity for iso-aldehydes. Stability is a common problem of hydroformylation catalysts, and the activity of hydroformylation catalysts decreases significantly as the reaction time increases.

[0005] DE59704070D1 discloses a method for preparing alcohols having 7-18 carbon atoms, comprising hydroformylating the corresponding olefins with synthesis gas in the presence of an organic phase containing a cobalt catalyst at a temperature of 50-220°C and a pressure of 100-400 bar, followed by hydrogenating the aldehydes obtained thereby, wherein an aqueous solution of a cobalt salt is reacted with the synthesis gas in the presence of an organic solvent that is not miscible with water or only a small amount of water to form a cobalt catalyst, and the organic phase containing the cobalt catalyst is prepared by extracting the formed cobalt catalyst from the aqueous phase with an organic extractant that is not miscible with water or only a small amount of water. The formation of the cobalt catalyst, the extraction of the formed cobalt catalyst in the organic phase and the hydroformylation of the corresponding olefins are carried out in a one-step process. The oxo alcohol prepared by the method of the present invention is used to prepare carboxylic acid esters as plasticizers for plastics. The reaction time is generally more than 10 hours. Summary of the invention

[0006] The inventors have found in experiments that, in the prior art, the conversion rate of olefin hydroformylation reaction and the sum of the selectivity of alcohol and aldehyde in the obtained product are generally low when the cobalt-based catalyst is used at relatively low temperature and pressure.

[0007] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for hydroformylation of olefins, which comprises:

[0008] (1) adding a cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution and synthesis gas into a pretreatment reactor for pretreatment to obtain a pretreated cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution;

[0009] (2) adding the pretreated cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution and olefin to a hydroformylation reactor in the presence of synthesis gas to carry out a hydroformylation reaction; wherein the mass ratio of the pretreated cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution to the olefin is (10 -6 ~1):1;

[0010] (3) After the reaction is completed, a portion of the alcohol, aldehyde, alkane and olefin raw materials are separated from the crude reaction product, and the remaining catalyst-containing solution is circulated to the pretreatment reactor for pretreatment.

[0011] The second object of the present invention is to provide the use of the above method in the preparation of alcohols and aldehydes by hydroformylation reaction.

[0012] In the olefin formylation reaction of the prior art, the mass ratio of the cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution to the olefin is usually greater than 1, and the sum of the selectivity of alcohols and aldehydes in the product of the cobalt-based catalyst is generally low at lower temperatures and pressures. The inventors of the present invention achieve a significant improvement in the conversion rate of the raw material and the sum of the selectivity of alcohols and aldehydes at lower temperatures and pressures by adjusting the mass ratios of the cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution to the olefin and cobalt to the olefin. The reaction rate can be significantly increased, and the olefin raw material processing capacity can be significantly improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the synthesis gas refers to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen or a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gases (such as methane, CO2, H2O, etc.), wherein the molar ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen is 100:1 to 1:100, preferably 10:1 to 1:10, more preferably 4:1 to 1:4, and most preferably 3:1 to 1:2.

The raw material conversion rate was 90.8wt%, and the product contained 23.1wt% of 2.4.4-trimethylpentane, 12.8wt% of isononanal, 58.5wt% of isononanol, and 5.62wt% of heavy matter.

[0069] Example 4

[0070] The catalyst solution A2 and the syngas with the composition of CH4:CO:H2 (molar ratio) 1:3:6 and 25 ppm CO2 were added to the pretreatment reactor. The temperature of the pretreatment reactor was 100 ° C and the pressure was 8 MPa. The pretreatment was carried out for 1 hour. After the pretreatment, the catalyst solution and the C8 olefin were introduced into the hydroformylation reactor at a ratio of 36.6 g:60.4 g. The mass ratio of cobalt to C8 olefin was 4.0×10 -3The synthesis gas composition is CH4:CO:H2 (molar ratio) 1:3:6 and contains 25PPmCO2, the reaction pressure is 8MPa, the reaction temperature is 160℃, the reaction time is 6.7h, and the product is subjected to chromatographic analysis.

[0073] It can be seen from Example 5 that under the condition of low mass ratio of cobalt-phosphine catalyst solution to olefin, at reaction temperature of 180°C and high olefin conversion, a relatively high content of aldehyde can still be obtained in the product. However, in the prior art, at high olefin conversion (e.g., greater than 90wt%), the aldehyde content in the product is greatly reduced (e.g., less than 5wt%), and the alkane content is greatly increased.
