Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity cyclododecanone, and belongs to the field of fine chemicals and flavors and fragrances. Background Art

[0002] Cyclododecanone (CDON) is a very important chemical product in the fragrance industry and engineering plastics field. It is an important intermediate in the nylon 12 industry chain. Its preparation can use cyclododecane, cyclododecene, epoxy cyclododecane, epoxy cyclododecadiene, cyclododecanol, cyclododecatriene, etc. as initial raw materials.

[0003] Patent CN 114874085 B uses cyclododecatriene as a raw material to prepare a cyclododecanone mixture, and obtains a high-purity cyclododecanone product after primary separation, primary distillation, dehydrogenation, secondary separation, and secondary distillation. The primary distillation and secondary distillation processes also include multiple separation towers. The actual separation process is complicated, and the separated light components cyclododecane and cyclododecene still need to be oxidized as raw materials for preparing cyclododecanone, which makes the overall process more lengthy.

[0004] Patent CN 116730809 A uses cyclododecanol as a raw material and dehydrogenates it under the action of a copper-zinc catalyst to prepare cyclododecanone. This method has a long catalyst life, a high cyclododecanone yield, and good safety. The raw material cyclododecanol can be prepared using the catalyst and process route in patent CN110882724B. Patent CN 110882724 B uses polyamide-amine supramolecular grafted modified foamed graphene as a carrier and platinum as an active component to highly selectively hydrogenate 9,10-epoxy-1,5-cyclododecadiene to cyclododecanol. The prepared cyclododecanol product has a higher purity and fewer metal impurities, and is more suitable for dehydrogenation to prepare cyclododecanone. Patent CN 117623886 A uses 9,10-epoxy-1,5-cyclododecadiene as raw material, and obtains cyclododecanone after hydrogenation, distillation desolventization, gas stripping desolventization, and dehydrogenation. The process route is reasonably set, the product yield is high, the tail gas volume is low, and the risk of solidification and blockage of materials in the gas phase pipeline is avoided. It is a set of green and environmentally friendly process flow. However, these processes that use 9,10-epoxy-1,5-cyclododecadiene as the initial raw material, first hydrogenate and then dehydrogenate do not disclose their product purity, and product purity is often the most important indicator for determining the downstream application of the product. Moreover, the above process will produce intermediates with a boiling point close to that of cyclododecanone in the process of producing cyclododecanone. If these intermediates cannot be controlled within an extremely low content range, the downstream application of cyclododecanone will be seriously affected. In addition, cyclododecanone is a white solid at room temperature. When used, it needs to be melted at 70℃~110℃. If the impurity content in the product is high, it is easy to produce yellowing, resulting in an increase in the color number of cyclododecanone, affecting the product quality.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new process for preparing high-purity cyclododecanone product by dehydrogenation using cyclododecanol as raw material. Summary of the invention

[0006] Aiming at the problems that high-purity cyclododecanone products in the prior art are difficult to prepare and easy to yellow, the present invention provides a method for preparing high-purity cyclododecanone, wherein cyclododecanol is used as a raw material to prepare a dehydrogenation reaction liquid, and cyclododecanone is produced through treatment processes such as absorption and precipitation of solids, solid-liquid separation, and product refining. The method can prepare a cyclododecanone product with a purity of ≥99.998%, wherein the impurities cyclododecane and cyclododecene can be controlled at an extremely low level, and the product's anti-yellowing ability is significantly enhanced.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] The present invention provides a method for preparing high-purity cyclododecanone, the method comprising the steps of:

[0009] 1) cyclododecanol is subjected to a dehydrogenation reaction under the action of a dehydrogenation catalyst to obtain a dehydrogenation reaction liquid rich in cyclododecanone;

[0010] 2) The dehydrogenation reaction liquid is passed into cyclopentyl methyl ether to precipitate cyclododecanone solid, which is then separated into solid and liquid, and the solid is melted and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain high-purity cyclododecanone.

[0011] The method for preparing cyclododecanone by dehydrogenation reaction using cyclododecanol as a raw material in step 1) of the present invention is an existing process, wherein the operation and process conditions involved, and the devices used therein, can be carried out by conventional selection in the art, and there is no particular limitation thereto. The technicians can optimize the process according to actual needs based on the known processes in the prior art. Specifically, for example, step 1) of the present invention can adopt the conditions listed in the following embodiments:

[0012] In one embodiment, the content of 1,2-epoxycyclododecane in the cyclododecanol raw material in step 1) is ≤0.01wt%, such as 0.01wt%, 0.009wt%, 0.008wt%, 0.006wt%, 0.004wt%, 0.002wt%, 0.001wt%, etc.;

[0013] The cyclododecanol is solid at room temperature, and is preferably fed after being melted into a liquid state.

[0014] The existing raw material cyclododecanol preparation process usually produces 1,2-epoxycyclododecane impurity, which has a boiling point very close to that of cyclododecanone and is difficult to completely remove from the cyclododecanone product; therefore, the 1,2-epoxycyclododecane remaining in the raw material cyclododecanol will enter the reaction solution along with the dehydrogenation of cyclododecanol and cannot be completely separated from cyclododecanone, which will reduce the product purity of cyclododecanone and affect downstream applications.

[0015] At present, there is no requirement for the content of 1,2-epoxycyclododecane in cyclododecane products in the industry. The content of ordinary commercial products is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1.0 wt%. Cyclododecane raw materials that meet the requirement of 1,2-epoxycyclododecane content ≤ 0.01 wt% can be directly used in the present invention; and for cyclododecane raw materials with 1,2-epoxycyclododecane content > 0.01 wt%, it is necessary to remove the epoxycyclododecane before use to make its content reach the requirement of ≤ 0.01 wt%; among them, the present invention has no specific requirements for the removal method of epoxycyclododecane, for example, conventional separation methods such as vacuum distillation can be used.

[0016] The dehydrogenation catalyst in step 1) of the present invention has no particular requirement for its type, and can be a dehydrogenation catalyst conventionally used in the field, for example, the dehydrogenation catalyst is selected from a copper-based catalyst, preferably a supported copper catalyst;

[0017] The copper-based catalyst used in the present invention is a product disclosed in the prior art, and can be an ordinary commercially available product purchased through commercial channels, such as the copper-based catalyst of Nanjing Zunlong New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., the TC-1 copper catalyst of Japan High Chemical Co., Ltd., etc.; it can also be a dehydrogenation catalyst product prepared by technicians based on existing processes, for example, prepared by referring to the methods disclosed in patents CN 116730809 A, CN 118767991 A, etc.

[0018] In one embodiment, in the dehydrogenation reaction of step 1), the reaction temperature is 190-290°C, and the reaction pressure is 80-125 kPaA; for example, the reaction temperature is 190°C, 200°C, 210°C, 220°C, 230°C, 240°C, 250°C, 260°C, 270°C, 280°C, 290°C, etc., and the reaction pressure is 80 kPaA, 85 kPaA, 90 kPaA, 95 kPaA, 100 kPaA, 105 kPaA, 110 kPaA, 115 kPaA, 120 kPaA, 125 kPaA, etc.;

[0020] In one embodiment, the precipitation temperature of the cyclododecanone solid in step 2) is 60-70°C, the operating pressure is 100-120kPaA, and the precipitation time is 1-5h; for example, the reaction temperature is 60°C, 62°C, 65°C, 68°C, 70°C, etc., the reaction pressure is 100kPaA, 102kPaA, 105kPaA, 108kPaA, 110kPaA, 112kPaA, 115kPaA, 118kPaA, 120kPaA, etc., and the precipitation time is 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, etc. The reaction solution obtained after the dehydrogenation reaction is completed is in a molten solution state due to its high temperature. In the process of mixing with cyclopentyl methyl ether and cooling, substances such as cyclododecanone will gradually precipitate to obtain a white solid.

[0021] In one embodiment, the solid-liquid separation in step 2) can be carried out by conventional separation operations in the art, such as solid-liquid separation by filtration, centrifugation, etc., preferably centrifugal separation; the centrifugal speed is preferably 1000-1300 rpm.

[0022] In one embodiment, the solid melting temperature in step 2) is 78-85°C, and the white solid obtained by solid-liquid separation is heated until it melts and then fed into a product refining tower.

[0023] In one embodiment, the vacuum distillation in step 2) has an operating pressure of -(20~0.1)kPaG, such as -20kPaG, -15kPaG, -10kPaG, -5kPaG, -0.1kPaG, etc., and a tower bottom temperature of 120~150°C, such as 120°C, 125°C, 130°C, 135°C, 140°C, 145°C, 150°C, etc. Through this operation, the heavy components of the molten solid are removed, and the cyclododecanone product is obtained from the top side of the product refining tower.

[0024] The high-purity cyclododecanone product obtained by the method of the present invention has a purity of up to 99.998 wt %, wherein the content of impurity cyclododecene is ≤0.001 wt %, and the content of cyclododecane is ≤0.001 wt %.

[0025] In one embodiment, the liquid phase remaining after solid-liquid separation in step 2) is mainly cyclopentyl methyl ether, which can be recovered and reused;

[0026] Specifically, the liquid phase is distilled through a recovery tower to recover the cyclopentyl methyl ether therein, the operating pressure is 40-80 kPaA, the tower bottom temperature is 110-125° C., and the purity of the cyclopentyl methyl ether obtained by distillation is ≥99.4wt%.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following positive effects:
