DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] The main raw materials for producing epichlorohydrin by the glycerol chlorination and saponification method are industrial glycerol, 30% caustic soda and gaseous hydrogen chloride, including the hydrochlorination of glycerol to produce 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol, separation of dichloropropanol, saponification of dichloropropanol and refining of epichlorohydrin. This method has the characteristics of simple production process, short process, less emission of "three wastes", low investment, low operating cost and renewable raw materials. The glycerol method has increased from 10% of the total output to about 39% at present, but its production process involves the use of raw material hydrogen chloride; the hydrogen peroxide method for producing epichlorohydrin is to prepare epichlorohydrin by direct epoxidation of 3-chloropropylene. The raw material is 3-chloropropene, which is generated by halogenation reaction of propene and chlorine. This method completely solves the problem of saponification wastewater and waste residue produced by chlorohydrin reaction and alkali saponification process in the original chloropropene method. The production process route is simple, but a large amount of hydrogen chloride by-products during production need to be further processed; if 3-chloropropene is produced alone through the existing production process, currently, for every ton of 3-chloropropene produced, 0.48 tons of hydrogen chloride gas will be produced as a by-product, and then about 2 tons of 25% hydrochloric acid solution will be produced as a by-product. The by-product hydrogen chloride gas takes away a lot of heat and becomes hydrochloric acid after absorption. It is necessary to consider the dissolution of hydrogen chloride gas, the generation and treatment of hydrochloric acid, and the storage process separately. The production of dichloropropane by the existing glycerol method requires the consumption of a large amount of hydrogen chloride, and 5 to 6 tons of steam per ton.

[0023] Therefore, the present application provides a production process and device for the co-production of 3-chloropropene and dichloropropane, wherein the hydrogen chloride produced as a by-product in the process of producing chloropropene by high-temperature chlorination of propylene is used as the source of hydrogen chloride in the process of hydrochlorination of glycerol, and the hydrogen chloride enters the hydrochlorination reactor together with glycerol and a catalyst for substitution reaction. After the hydrogen chloride is consumed, the remaining non-condensable gas (mainly propylene) is purified and used again as a raw material for halogenation reaction. The co-production device can produce chloropropene and dichloropropane at the same time, the front section is used for the production of epichlorohydrin by hydrogen peroxide method; the rear section is used for the production of epichlorohydrin by glycerol method, and the two production methods of epichlorohydrin are combined. The method and device of propane are combined to solve the problem of needing to treat chlorine-containing wastes such as hydrogen chloride generated in the production process of hydrogen peroxide method, and solve the problem of hydrogen chloride raw materials required for glycerol production. It not only saves the by-product recovery and treatment process in the high-temperature chlorination process of propylene, simplifies the production process and reduces energy consumption, but also can share public works, separation devices and epichlorohydrin product tanks and other devices, effectively utilizes hydrogen chloride generated in the high-temperature chlorination process of propylene, greatly improves the utilization efficiency of chlorine elements, reduces the generation of chlorine-containing wastes, thereby reducing the generation and treatment process of waste strong acid, and further reducing production costs.

[0024] The allyl chloride unit and the dichloropropanol unit can share public works, separation units and epichlorohydrin product tanks. Specifically, the hot steam can first be passed to devices and equipment with higher temperature requirements, such as halogenation reactors, propylene preheaters and chlorine preheaters. After one heat exchange, the remaining steam can also be used to heat the glycerol hydrochlorination reactor; the nitrogen protection pipeline and the emergency pipeline can be shared; 3-chloropropene can be used for epoxidation to prepare epichlorohydrin, and dichloropropanol can also be saponified to prepare epichlorohydrin. The crude epichlorohydrin product after preliminary separation can share the distillation and purification unit, and the purified epichlorohydrin product tank can also be shared.

[0025] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of a device for co-producing 3-chloropropene and dichloropropanol provided in the present application is shown as an exemplary illustration. Figure 1 The present invention describes the production process and device for co-producing 3-chloropropene and dichloropropanol. Figure 1 As shown, propylene 1 enters into propylene preheater 3 through propylene inlet, the temperature of propylene preheater 3 is 350-510°C, chlorine 2 enters into chlorine preheater 4 through chlorine inlet, the temperature of chlorine preheater 4 is 350-510°C, and the preheated propylene 1 and chlorine 2 enter into halogenation reactor 5 at a molar ratio of (1.5-30):1. Halogenation reaction occurs between propylene 1 and chlorine 2 at a temperature above 500°C to obtain a mixed gas of propylene, 3-chloropropene, hydrogen chloride and other halogenated by-products (including 1-chloropropane, 2-chloropropane, 1-chloropropene, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropane, 1,2-dichloropropene, 1,3-dichloropropene, etc.).

[0026] The mixed gas of propylene, 3-chloropropylene, hydrogen chloride and other halogenated by-products enters the heat exchanger 6. After the heat exchange process, the temperature drops from 500°C at the outlet of the halogenation reactor 5 to below 35°C. At this time, the mixed gas is divided into gas and liquid phases. The liquid phase part is extracted from the bottom of the heat exchanger 6. The liquid phase part is a mixed solution of 3-chloropropylene and by-products with a boiling point higher than 3-chloropropylene (including two dichloropropanes and two dichloropropylenes, and a small amount of monochloropropane, etc.). The liquid phase part extracted from the bottom of the heat exchanger 6 enters the distillation tower 9 for separation and purification to obtain a 3-chloropropylene product. The light component is a small amount of light halogenated hydrocarbons with a boiling point lower than 3-chloropropylene, which are extracted from the top of the distillation tower 9. The heavy component is a polyhalogenated hydrocarbon DD mixture (a mixture of 1,2-dichloropropane and 1,3-dichloropropylene) extracted from the bottom of the distillation tower 9. The gas phase part 8 is extracted from the top of the heat exchanger 6. The gas phase part 8 is a mixed gas of the remaining unreacted propylene and hydrogen chloride.

[0027] Glycerol and hydrogen chloride 10 are introduced into a hydrochlorination reactor 12 together with a catalyst 11 (the catalyst is a common organic acid, such as anhydrous acetic acid, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, adipic acid, etc.) at a molar ratio of (0.05-0.5):1, and a hydrochlorination reaction occurs at 80-130°C to consume glycerol and hydrogen chloride to generate two main products, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol; the remaining non-condensable gas 13 after the reaction (including propylene and part of hydrogen chloride that do not participate in the reaction) is extracted from the top of the hydrochlorination reactor 12, and the remaining hydrogen chloride, halogenated hydrocarbons and water are removed by a condensation absorber 15 to obtain propylene 17, which is circulated back to the propylene preheater 3 and enters the halogenation reactor 5 together with fresh propylene to continue the propylene halogenation reaction, and the acidic waste liquid 24 containing a small amount of halogenated hydrocarbons is discharged from the bottom of the condensation absorber 15 to be treated in a waste liquid treatment workshop.

[0028] The hydrochlorination product liquid 14 after the reaction in the hydrochlorination reactor 12 is extracted from the bottom of the hydrochlorination reactor 12. The hydrochlorination product liquid 14 contains two main products, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol, and an organic acid catalyst, water, a small amount of unreacted glycerol, and by-products of glyceryl esters and chloropropylene glycol esters, namely, glyceryl monoesters, chloropropylene glycol monoesters, diglyceryl monoesters, glyceryl dimers, and glyceryl dimer esters, which are sent to the refining unit 16 for refining and separation. The product pure dichloropropanol 21 is collected at 174-185° C., and the excess organic acid catalyst and unreacted glycerol are separated and refluxed to the hydrochlorination reactor 12 through the catalyst 11 intake port. The heavy components (water and glyceryl esters and chloropropylene glycol esters organic matter) taken out from the bottom of the refining unit 16 are sent to the waste liquid treatment workshop for treatment; a small amount of light components (a small amount of water and hydrogen chloride) are taken out from the top of the refining unit 16, and the light components are condensed in the condensation absorber 15 and sent to the waste liquid treatment workshop with the acidic waste liquid 24.

[0029] In the halogenation reactor 5, propylene should be kept in an excess state, and chlorine should not be excessive, thereby causing corrosion of the reactor; the unused propylene and by-product hydrogen chloride mixed gas directly enter the hydrochlorination reactor 12, as a source of hydrogen chloride, to carry out glycerol hydrochlorination to produce dichloropropanol, and continue the reaction. After the remaining small amount of hydrogen chloride, halogenated hydrocarbons and water are removed from the propylene in the mixed gas, it is dried and then enters the halogenation reactor 5 to participate in the halogenation reaction, and finally reaches the co-production process of 3-chloropropene-dichloropropanol. The co-production device fully utilizes a large amount of by-product hydrogen chloride in the high-temperature chlorination process of propylene to supply the chlorine source required in the glycerol hydrochlorination process, thereby eliminating the by-product recovery and treatment process in the high-temperature chlorination process of propylene, simplifying the production process, reducing energy consumption, simple operation, high equipment production efficiency and conducive to industrial application.

The raw material chlorine enters the chlorine preheater 4 through the chlorine inlet, and the chlorine is vaporized at 510°C. The vaporized propylene and the vaporized chlorine 2 enter the halogenation reactor 5 at a molar ratio of 5:1 to undergo a halogenation reaction. The vaporized propylene and the chlorine propylene generate free radicals, and the chlorine becomes a chlorine free radical. The two collide with each other, and the propylene is chlorinated at a high temperature above 500°C to generate propylene, 3-chloropropylene, hydrogen chloride and other halogenated radicals. Byproducts, other halogenated byproducts include 1-chloropropane, 2-chloropropane, 1-chloropropene, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropene, 1,2-dichloropropene, 1,3-dichloropropene, etc. Propylene, 3-chloropropene, hydrogen chloride and other byproducts enter the heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange treatment. After heat exchange treatment, the temperature drops from 500°C at the outlet of the halogenation reactor to below 35°C. At this time, the mixed gas is divided into gas-liquid two phases, the liquid phase component is extracted from the bottom of the heat exchanger, and the gas phase component is extracted from the top of the heat exchanger.

[0032] The gas phase component is a mixed gas of the remaining propylene and hydrogen chloride that have not reacted in the halogenation reactor. The raw material glycerol and hydrogen chloride enter the hydrochlorination reactor at a molar ratio of 0.275:1. The catalyst (anhydrous acetic acid) content is 6.67% (w / w). Under the action of the catalyst, the glycerol raw material and hydrogen chloride undergo a hydrochlorination reaction at 107.6°C to generate a hydrochlorination product liquid 14. The hydrochlorination product liquid 14 includes two main products, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol, an organic acid catalyst, water, a small amount of unreacted glycerol, and by-products glyceryl esters and chloropropylene glycol esters, namely glycerol. The hydrochlorination product liquid 14 enters the refining unit, is further refined at 180°C to produce pure dichloropropanol, and the excess organic acid catalyst is separated. The organic acid catalyst is recycled back to the hydrochlorination reactor to participate in the hydrochlorination reaction again. The heavy phase waste liquid (water and glycerol esters and chloropropylene glycol esters organic matter) extracted from the bottom of the refining unit is sent to the waste liquid treatment workshop, and the light component (a small amount of water and hydrogen chloride) is extracted from the top of the refining unit. After condensation in the condensation absorber, the light component is sent to the waste liquid treatment workshop together with the acidic waste liquid for further treatment.

[0033] The liquid components extracted from the bottom of the heat exchanger enter the distillation tower 9 for separation and purification to obtain 3-chloropropylene product, the light components extracted from the top of the distillation tower 9 are a small amount of light halogenated hydrocarbons with a boiling point lower than 3-chloropropylene, and the heavy components extracted from the bottom of the distillation tower 9 are polyhalogenated hydrocarbon DD mixture (a mixture of 1,2-dichloropropane and 1,3-dichloropropylene).

[0054] It can be seen from Table 1 that when the vaporization temperatures of propylene and chlorine in the preheater are both 387°C, the molar ratio of propylene to chlorine entering the halogenation reactor is 4.15:1, the hydrochlorination reaction temperature is 113.3°C, the molar ratio of glycerol to hydrogen chloride entering the hydrochlorination reactor is 0.461:1, and the catalyst content added to the hydrochlorination reactor is 8.15w / w, the selectivity of 3-chloropropylene and dichloropropanol is the highest. The selectivity is the proportion of all products of chloropropylene in the halogenation reaction process, and the proportion of all products of dichloropropanol in the hydrochlorination reaction process.

[0055] The hydrochlorination reaction temperature in Example 3 is lower than that in Example 4, the amount of catalyst added is also lower than that in Example 4, and the selectivity of 3-chloropropylene and dichloropropanol in Example 3 is lower than that in Example 4.

[0056] The temperature of the hydrochlorination reaction in Example 2 is slightly higher than that in Example 3, and the amount of catalyst added is slightly higher than that in Example 3. Therefore, the selectivity of 3-chloropropylene and dichloropropylene in Example 2 is slightly higher than that in Example 3.

[0057] The gasification temperature of propylene and chlorine in Example 1 is 510° C., the molar ratio of propylene to chlorine entering the halogenation reactor is 5:1, and the molar ratio of glycerol to hydrogen chloride entering the hydrochlorination reactor is 0.275:1. The selectivity of 3-chloropropylene and dichloropropanol is equivalent to that of Example 4.

[0058] In Example 5, the molar ratio of propylene to chlorine is 28.75:1. A larger molar ratio increases the selectivity of allyl chloride, but a large amount of unreacted propylene needs to be heated, and the amount of hydrochloric acid gas generated is small. In the subsequent hydrochlorination reaction, the amount of hydrogen chloride obtained is small, and the product is mainly monochloropropylene glycol, and the selectivity of dichloropropylene glycol is very low.

[0059] It can be seen that the molar ratio of propylene halogenation and the preheating temperature directly affect the selectivity of 3-chloropropylene; while the molar ratio of glycerol and hydrogen chloride entering the hydrochlorination reactor and the content of the catalyst added in the hydrochlorination reactor directly affect the selectivity of dichloropropanol.

[0060] In the present application, the amount of propylene introduced should be kept in excess to avoid corrosion of the hydrochlorination reactor by excessive chlorine, which can greatly improve the utilization efficiency of the chlorine element and reduce the generation of chlorine-containing wastes, thereby reducing the generation and treatment process of waste strong acid, and further reducing production costs; a large amount of hydrogen chloride produced as a by-product during the high-temperature chlorination of excess propylene is fully utilized to supply the chlorine source required in the glycerol hydrochlorination process, thereby eliminating the by-product recovery and treatment process during the high-temperature chlorination of propylene, simplifying the production process and reducing energy consumption.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
