Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organosilicon monomer production, and in particular to a continuous catalytic cracking device and method for organosilicon high-boiling substances. Background Art

[0002] Silicone is an important chemical intermediate, known as "industrial MSG", and is the main indicator for measuring the development of the country's silicone industry. Silicone products include silicone oil, silicone rubber, silicone resin and silane coupling agent, which are widely used in industries such as construction, electronic appliances, medical treatment and new energy. At present, silicone monomers are mainly produced by the "direct method". In this process, in addition to the main product dimethyldichlorosilane (M2), by-products such as methyltrichlorosilane (M1), trimethylchlorosilane (M3) and silicone high boiling products are often produced.

[0003] Organosilicon high-boiling substances account for 8-10% of the output of chlorosilane monomers, and are mainly composed of substances containing Si-Si, Si-CH2-Si, Si-O-Si and Si-Si-Si bonds, among which the main components of Si-Si components are MeSiCl2-SiCl2Me and MeSiCl2-SiClMe2. Organosilicon high-boiling substances have complex compositions and will undergo hydrolysis reactions when exposed to air and water to generate substances such as hydrogen chloride and silicone oil, while producing a pungent odor, which will cause serious harm to the environment. In addition, organosilicon high-boiling substances are highly corrosive and have high requirements for storage materials. With the annual expansion of organosilicon production capacity, the large accumulation of organosilicon chlorosilanes has increased the cost of hazardous waste treatment for enterprises, causing huge environmental safety risks, and gradually becoming an obstacle to the development of the organosilicon industry.

[0004] At present, relevant studies have reported methods for preparing methylchlorosilane monomers by cracking high boiling products, such as: US2681355A; US5430168A; US2709176A; US5288892A; US5877337; US5326896A, etc. Among them, the most commonly used catalyst is tri-n-butylamine, but tri-n-butylamine is a highly toxic chemical and does not meet the requirements of green chemistry. At the same time, the most commonly used reaction process is a batch or semi-continuous reaction process, which has problems such as inability to produce continuously, difficulty in separating homogeneous catalysis, high hazardous waste production, and poor selectivity of target products.

[0039] Preferably, the content of the monosilane component in the high-boiling organosilicon stock solution is 10 to 30 wt%, for example, it can be 10 wt%, 13 wt%, 15 wt%, 17 wt%, 19 wt%, 22 wt%, 24 wt%, 26 wt%, 28 wt% or 30 wt%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​not listed within this range are also applicable.

[0040] Preferably, the catalyst comprises any one or a combination of at least two of a silicon-aluminum compound, an aluminum-based compound, a metal oxide or a metal element, wherein typical but non-limiting combinations are a combination of a silicon-aluminum compound and an aluminum-based compound, a combination of a metal oxide and an aluminum-based compound, a combination of a silicon-aluminum compound and a metal oxide, and a combination of a metal element and an aluminum-based compound.

[0041] Preferably, the silicon-aluminum compound is a molecular sieve.

Molecular sieve is a common and readily available catalyst carrier, which is acidic and has a certain catalytic ability.

[0044] Preferably, the metal in the metal oxide or metal element independently includes any one or a combination of at least two of Ni, Mo, Fe, Co, Zn or Cu, wherein a typical but non-limiting combination is a combination of Ni and Mo, a combination of Fe and Mo, a combination of Ni and Fe, a combination of Co and Zn, a combination of Ni and Co, and a combination of Cu and Mo. The above metals can be loaded on the silicon-aluminum molecular sieve to form a multifunctional active site. On the one hand, the site can promote the dissociation of hydrogen, thereby promoting the hydrocracking of organosilicon high boiling points. On the other hand, the site can also promote the disproportionation of chlorosilanes and improve the selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane.

[0045] Preferably, the temperature of the continuous catalytic cracking reaction is 200-500°C, for example, it can be 200°C, 210°C, 220°C, 250°C, 280°C, 300°C, 323°C, 345°C, 367°C, 389°C, 412°C, 434°C, 456°C, 478°C or 500°C, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0047] The pressure mentioned in the present invention refers to the hydrogen pressure. Increasing the hydrogen pressure can increase the hydrogen concentration in the fixed bed, improve the degree of hydrogen dissociation, and promote the forward cracking reaction of high-boiling substances in organic silicon. However, excessively increasing the hydrogen flow rate will reduce the residence time of the stock solution in the bed. Therefore, choosing appropriate hydrogen pressure and hydrogen flow rate is beneficial to the complete conversion of high-boiling substances in organic silicon, improving the selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane, and improving production efficiency.

[0048] Preferably, the hydrogen flow rate of the continuous catalytic cracking reaction is 50 to 400 mL / min, for example, it can be 50 mL / min, 89 mL / min, 128 mL / min, 167 mL / min, 206 mL / min, 245 mL / min, 284 mL / min, 323 mL / min, 362 mL / min or 400 mL / min, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0049] Preferably, the mass space velocity of the feed liquid of the organosilicon high boiling point stock solution is 0.01 to 10 h -1 , for example, it can be 0.01h -1 、0.02h -1 、0.05h -1 、0.08h -1 , 0.1h -1 , 0.5h -1 , 1.0h -1 , 2.0h -1 , 5.0h -1 , 6.8h -1 , 8.1h -1 , 9.4h -1 or 10h -1 The above values ​​are not limited to the above values, and other values ​​not listed in the above values ​​are also applicable.

[0050] In the present invention, the feed amount of high boiling substances affects the weight hourly space velocity of the reaction, and setting a suitable feed amount is beneficial to the conversion of high boiling substances.

[0051] Preferably, the cooling temperature is -15°C to -2°C, for example, it can be -15°C, -10°C, -8°C, -7°C, -6.5°C, -6°C, -5.5°C, -5°C, -4.5°C, -4°C, -3.5°C, -3°C, -2.5°C or -2°C, but is not limited to the listed values, and other unlisted values ​​within the range are also applicable.

[0054] Preferably, during the continuous catalytic cracking reaction and cooling process, the reaction materials are sent to an online analysis unit for simultaneous detection and analysis of the material composition.

[0116] From Table 2, we can see the following points:

[0117] (1) It can be seen from Application Examples 1 to 4 that the continuous catalytic cracking method for high-boiling organosilicon products provided by the present invention can not only operate continuously, but also achieve a cracking rate of high-boiling organosilicon products of more than 90.1%, and the selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane is more than 63%.

[0118] (2) By comparing Application Example 1 with Application Examples 5 to 6, it can be seen that the temperature of the continuous catalytic cracking reaction in Application Example 5 is relatively low, resulting in the conversion rate of high-boiling organic silicon products decreasing to 25.3%. In Application Example 6, although the conversion rate of high-boiling organic silicon products is as high as 97.9%, the selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane is only 30.1%. This shows that the present invention preferably controls the temperature of the cracking reaction in the continuous catalytic cracking reaction, and has a better conversion rate and selectivity for dimethyldichlorosilane.

[0120] (4) By comparing Application Example 1 with Application Comparative Examples 1 to 2, it can be seen that the reaction kettle used in Application Comparative Example 1 not only cannot operate continuously, but also the conversion rate of high-boiling organic silicon products is only 30.2%, and the selectivity is only 65.3%.
