Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the separation field of coal chemical industry and petrochemical industry, and specifically relates to a method for simultaneously extracting phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds from naphthalene oil, which can obtain valuable phenolic compound and nitrogen-containing compound resources, is beneficial to the deep processing and utilization of coal tar, and is green and environmentally friendly. Background Art

[0002] Coal tar is a viscous liquid byproduct with a pungent odor produced during the dry distillation and pyrolysis of coal. Coal tar contains a large number of monomer compounds with a high melting point, but after dissolving in each other to form a low eutectic mixture, coal tar can remain liquid even at room temperature. Naphthalene oil is a 210-230°C fraction cut from coal tar by distillation, and its yield accounts for about 10% to 13% of the total amount of coal tar. Its components mainly contain 70% to 80% naphthalene, 4% to 6% phenolic substances, 3% to 5% heavy pyridine base, and the rest is naphthalene oil. On the one hand, phenolic compounds (such as metacresol) and nitrogen-containing compounds (such as quinoline) in naphthalene oil are important chemical raw materials and intermediates, and are widely used in chemical fields such as medicine, pesticides, printing and dyeing, and rubber; on the other hand, nitrogen oxides produced by nitrogen-containing compounds in oil products during processing will cause environmental pollution. In the hydrogenation process, nitrogen atoms will cause catalyst poisoning, reduce hydrogenation efficiency, and affect product stability. Phenolic compounds in oil products will increase hydrogen consumption and production costs during hydrogenation, and affect catalyst activity and oil stability, which is not conducive to the storage and transportation of oil products. Therefore, separating phenols and nitrogen-containing substances from naphthalene oil has extremely high economic benefits, and creates good reaction conditions for the subsequent deep processing of naphthalene oil, thereby improving the quality of the oil.

[0003] For the separation of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds in naphthalene oil, alkali washing and acid washing are currently commonly used methods in industry, and there are problems such as large solvent consumption, high cost, wastewater discharge, and equipment corrosion. Hydrofining, traditional organic solvent extraction, supercritical extraction, ionic liquid extraction, etc. have also been used for the separation of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds in oil. While achieving certain effects, there are also problems such as high process cost, cross contamination, poor recyclability, and complex operation. CN103937522A patent adds a complexing separation agent to coal tar for complexing reaction, and then achieves the purpose of separating phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds by distillation and back extraction. The method is simple in process, environmentally friendly, and does not produce phenolic wastewater, but the cost of using reagents is high. The dephenolization solvent used in CN112811500A is composed of an extractant, a co-extractant, and an antioxidant, but the use of a large amount of organic solvents makes the dephenolization efficiency low, and fails to effectively solve the problem of neutral oil entrainment. CN102746221A uses ethanol as a supercritical solvent to extract quinoline from washing oil. The present invention uses an acidic salt solution instead of sulfuric acid to enrich quinoline, which greatly reduces the production cost and makes the entire process simple and controllable, but the energy consumption is large and the impurity content of the produced quinoline is large.

[0004] As a new type of green solvent, deep eutectic solvent (DES) has the characteristics of designability, good thermal stability, low green environmental toxicity, simple preparation process, and low raw material price, and has attracted extensive attention from researchers. CN109593540B provides a method for separating phenolic compounds based on deep eutectic solvent, but it is lacking in terms of solvent selectivity, stability, operating conditions, and economy. CN109181747B proposes a deep eutectic solvent prepared by using polyethylene glycol dicarboxylic acid and quaternary ammonium salt, which can effectively remove indole and quinoline from simulated coal tar at the same time, but the high cost of raw materials limits its application in large-scale production.

[0005] Compared with other methods, the deep eutectic solvent used in this scheme can form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen on the hydroxyl group of the phenolic compound (meta-cresol), and the H atoms in the deep eutectic solvent combine with the N atoms on the nitrogen-containing compound (quinoline) to form an acid-base reaction, which can extract the phenolic compound and the nitrogen-containing compound at the same time. Based on this, the method used in the present invention is simple to operate, mild in conditions, cheap, and environmentally friendly, laying a foundation for achieving efficient and clean separation of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the complex problems of large solvent usage, high cost, wastewater discharge, equipment corrosion, etc. in the existing coal tar extraction and separation of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds, in view of this, the present invention provides a deep eutectic solvent for simultaneously extracting phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds from naphthalene oil.

[0085] (2) Weigh 7 g of methylnaphthalene, 0.5 g of m-cresol, 0.5 g of quinoline, and 2 g of xylene into a conical flask with a lid, stir for 30 min at 25° C., and prepare a model naphthalene oil with an initial concentration of 5% (5% m-cresol + 5% quinoline + 70% methylnaphthalene + 20% xylene);

[0086] (3) The total molar amount of quinoline and meta-cresol in the oil phase was mixed with the molar amount of DES in a ratio of 1:2, and the mixture was placed in a 30°C water bath with magnetic stirring for 60 min. After the extraction was completed, the mixture was allowed to stand for 1 h. The upper and lower phases were separated to obtain a naphthalene oil phase dephenolized and quinolined and a low eutectic solvent phase rich in phenol and quinoline. The upper oil phase was then taken and tested by gas chromatography. The extraction efficiency of meta-cresol was calculated to be 94.40%, and the extraction efficiency of quinoline was calculated to be 98.37%;

[0087] (4) adding petroleum ether as a stripping agent to the extraction phase in a ratio of 10:1 between the stripping agent and the phenolic compounds and the nitrogen-containing compounds in the extraction phase, stirring for 30 min at 30° C., standing for 1 h to separate the layers, and repeating the operation 3 times to obtain a low eutectic solvent phase depleted of phenol and quinoline and a stripping phase rich in phenol and quinoline;

[0088] (5) The low eutectic solvent is rotary evaporated to recover the regenerated low eutectic solvent, and the above extraction process is repeated three times to obtain the extraction rates of m-cresol of 88.76%, 78.39% and 64.25% respectively; the extraction rates of quinoline of 97.05%, 90.20% and 67.47% respectively.

[0089] The different conditions and related data of Examples 1-13 refer to Table 1

[0090] Table 1. Relevant conditions and data of Examples 1-13

[0091]

[0092] Note: The extraction time in Examples 1-13 is 60 min.

[0093] According to the data in Table 1, according to the comparison of the data of Examples 1-5 and 6-13, when the hydrogen bond acceptor is choline chloride, the extraction efficiency of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds is not very high. When the hydrogen bond acceptor is tetrabutylammonium bromide, although the extraction efficiency of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds is high, the bromide ion will greatly increase the viscosity of DES, and the longer chain length will cause DES to dissolve more neutral oil components. When the hydrogen bond acceptor is tetraethylammonium chloride, the extraction efficiency of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds is above 92%. Compared with choline chloride, tetraethylammonium chloride is surrounded by four ethyl groups, and tetraethyl sodium chloride can form a stronger interaction force, and the steric hindrance is small, and it can form a more stable hydrogen bond with the hydrogen bond donor, strengthen the acidity of the organic acid, and thus achieve efficient extraction of phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds.

[0094] Through the test of the above specific implementation scheme, the present invention provides a natural and efficient low eutectic solvent for simultaneously extracting phenolic compounds and nitrogen-containing compounds from naphthalene oil, which has a short reaction equilibrium time, cheap raw material preparation, simple operation and separation process, and its constituent substances are all natural components, non-toxic and pollution-free, and has good dephenolization and denitrification effects.

[0095] The embodiments in this specification mainly focus on the selection and mixing ratio of hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrogen bond donors in the deep eutectic solvent. Due to the different structures and compositions of hydrogen bond donors and hydrogen bond acceptors, the deep eutectic solvents formed have great differences in the dephenolization and denitrification effects on the model naphthalene oil. Therefore, similar parts between the embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0096] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make various modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. to the above embodiments within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above embodiments will not constitute a limitation to the present invention, and its limitation scope should be the widest scope consistent with the principles and innovations disclosed in the present technical solution.
