Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for preparing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by cyclohexane oxidation, and more particularly to a method for increasing the oxidation yields of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in cyclohexane oxidation and a cyclohexane oxidation apparatus for implementing the method. Background Art
[0002] Cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are important raw materials for the production of caprolactam and adipic acid, and further for the production of nylon 6 and nylon 66.
[0003] The cyclohexane oxidation method is currently a main method for producing cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. Generally, cyclohexane is oxidized with a gas containing molecular oxygen at a high temperature to partially form an oxidation mixture of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, and then the target products cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are obtained through processes such as decomposition and cyclohexane recovery. The gas containing molecular oxygen can use air, lean oxygen, rich oxygen or even pure oxygen. However, cyclohexane and a gas with an oxygen content exceeding 8-9% will form an explosive mixture under high temperature and high pressure, seriously affecting production safety; in addition, it has been proven that using different oxygen partial pressures to control the oxidation reaction rate is not as direct and rapid as using the reaction temperature adjustment. Therefore, the vast majority of cyclohexane oxidation apparatuses still use the cheaper direct air oxidation.
[0004] The mechanism of cyclohexane oxidation is generally considered to be a free radical chain reaction mechanism. Before the 1970s, transition metal catalysts were added during the oxidation process to increase the free radical concentration and improve the oxidation reaction rate, and the reaction temperature was 150°C - 160°C. However, most of the oxidized cyclohexyl hydroperoxide is catalytically decomposed into cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone by the transition metal catalyst at this temperature, and cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are more easily oxidized to form organic acids and esters than cyclohexane under the same conditions, resulting in a low yield of the catalytic oxidation process.
[0005] After the 1980s, Rhodia Company in France proposed a cyclohexane non-catalytic lean oxygen oxidation process, and DSM Company in the Netherlands developed a cyclohexane non-catalytic air oxidation process. Since the reaction conditions of air oxidation are milder, the vast majority of the later-built cyclohexane oxidation apparatuses have adopted the cyclohexane non-catalytic air oxidation process, and its reaction temperature is between 165°C and 175°C.
[0006] The reaction mechanism of cyclohexane non-catalytic oxidation is basically the same as that of catalytic oxidation. The only difference is that no catalyst is added, and the free radicals generated by the chain reaction during the oxidation of cyclohexane are used to catalyze the reaction. Therefore, the cyclohexane non-catalytic oxidation process requires a relatively high oxidation temperature at the initial stage to maintain an appropriate reaction rate and ensure that the oxygen content in the oxidation tail gas is within a safe range (generally 2-3%). Since there are no transition metal ion catalysts in the oxidation reaction system, the decomposition rate of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide generated by oxidation decreases significantly, much less cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone are produced, and the deep oxidation of alcohols and ketones also decreases. Therefore, a higher oxidation yield can be obtained.
[0007] How to further improve the oxidation yield of cyclohexane in the non-catalytic oxidation process has always been a topic of interest to industry insiders. From the process of cyclohexane oxidation, this is a classic irreversible series reaction:
[0008]
[0009] Cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, cyclohexanol, and cyclohexanone are the target products, while acids and esters are by-products. According to classical reaction kinetics calculations, assuming that the reaction orders of the above reactions are all 1.0,
[0010] r 1 =k 1 C 烷 p 氧 =k 1 C 烷0 (1-X)p 氧 ...(1)
[0011] r 2 =k 2 C 过 =k 2 C 烷0 X...(2)
[0012] r 3 =k 3 k 2 C 过 p 氧 =k 3 k 2 C 烷0 Xp 氧 ...(3)
[0013]
[0014] Among them, r 1 is the main reaction, r 2 is the decomposition reaction of the product peroxide, r 3 is the side reaction, k 1 , k 2 , k3 is the reaction rate constant corresponding to each reaction, C 烷0 is the initial concentration of cyclohexane, C 烷 is the concentration of cyclohexane, p 氧 is the partial pressure of oxygen in the oxidation reactor, C 过 is the concentration of the product peroxide, and X is the conversion rate of cyclohexane.
[0015] From Equation (3), it can be found that the lower the concentration C 过 of the product peroxide, the fewer the side reactions r 3 . Then, from the perspective of the form of the oxidation reactor selected, the ideal plug flow reactor is the most suitable reactor for the cyclohexane oxidation process because the product concentration gradually increases in it, while the product concentration in the completely backmixed reactor is single and equal to the concentration at the final outlet, which will result in a lower reaction yield. However, the cyclohexane oxidation process also involves the mixing and mass transfer process of air and cyclohexane. Therefore, in actual situations, the oxidation reactor is composed of several completely backmixed oxidation reaction vessels connected in series, and the more reaction vessels are connected in series, the closer it is to a plug flow reactor. However, too many series-connected reaction vessels will cause trouble in engineering design. The more reaction vessels are connected in series, the more investment is required and the greater the possible leakage risk. Therefore, most current cyclohexane oxidation plants are designed with 5 - 6 oxidation reaction vessels connected in series, and the volumes of each oxidation reaction vessel are approximately the same.
[0016] From Equation (4), it is most obvious that in order to obtain a higher selectivity α, the lower the value of the cyclohexane conversion rate X is, the better. However, a low cyclohexane conversion rate means that more energy needs to be spent to recover the unreacted cyclohexane. Therefore, based on the prices of cyclohexane and steam energy, there will be a balance here. Generally, the cyclohexane conversion rate is designed between 3 - 4% to obtain the most economically optimized selectivity.
[0017] In addition, from Equation (4), it can be found that by changing the values of k 1 , k 2 and k 3 , the overall selectivity of the oxidation can also be improved.
[0018] Xiao Zhaosheng proposed in CN200310113778.5 that 0.05 - 1 ppm of diphosphonic acid ester (HEDP ester) is continuously added to the oxidation feed to make it a passivator for the metal walls of the oxidation reactor and trace metal ions entrained in the material, reducing the decomposition of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the oxidation reactor, that is, significantly reducing k 2 , thereby increasing the oxidation yield. However, the addition of diphosphonic acid ester will also simultaneously reduce the initiation rate of the cyclohexane chain reaction, resulting in an increase in the starting temperature of the oxidation reaction.
[0019] The current common practice is to gradually decrease the reaction temperature of each series-connected oxidation reactor in the order from front to back. Since the cyclohexane oxidation is a chain radical reaction, the reaction rate increases faster and faster as the radical content in the system increases. That is, a certain k can be maintained by continuously decreasing the oxidation reaction temperature. 1 , while at the same time k 2 and k 3 values decrease as the oxidation reaction temperature of the reactor decreases, thus ultimately obtaining a relatively high oxidation selectivity. However, since cyclohexane oxidation is an exothermic reaction, especially the heat release of side reactions is more obvious. How to more economically and effectively decrease the reaction temperature of each series-connected oxidation reactor one by one becomes the key. Most of the existing devices achieve this by adjusting the distribution of the air addition amount, gradually increasing the air inlet amount of each series-connected oxidation reactor, and using the inert gas in the air that does not react to vaporize and carry out cyclohexane out of the oxidation reactor. Thus, the heat in the reactor is removed by the vaporization heat of this part of cyclohexane to achieve the purpose of cooling. However, the different air inlet amounts of each oxidation reactor violate the original design intention of approaching a plug flow reactor and have a negative impact on the overall oxidation selectivity. There are also devices that use adding cyclohexane with a lower temperature to cool in the subsequent reactor, but this method will increase the amount of recycled cyclohexane and the energy consumption required for recovering cyclohexane. Other methods such as using external circulation cooling or individually controlling the pressure of each reactor can also achieve the purpose of controlling the reaction temperature of each series-connected oxidation kettle one by one, but their investment amount and safety risk are relatively too high. Summary of the Invention
[0020] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art and provide a method for improving the oxidation yields of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in the oxidation of cyclohexane, which is simple to operate, has high efficiency and low energy consumption, and a cyclohexane oxidation device for implementing this method.
[0021] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is a method for improving the oxidation yields of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in the oxidation of cyclohexane. Under non-catalytic conditions, cyclohexane is oxidized by molecular oxygen in an oxidation reactor composed of a series of fully back-mixed oxidation reactors connected in series to generate an oxidation liquid with cyclohexyl hydroperoxide as the main product; for the series of serially connected fully back-mixed oxidation reactors, the volumes of each fully back-mixed oxidation reactor are all different and are arranged in descending order according to the volume size.
[0022] Furthermore, the number of the series of serially connected fully back-mixed oxidation reactors is 3 - 7.
[0023] Furthermore, the gas containing molecular oxygen introduced into each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor is oxygen-rich gas, air or oxygen-deficient gas, but the relative volume flow rate converted to pure oxygen is the same, so as to ensure the same oxidation conversion rate of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor, and the oxygen content in the tail gas meets the safety range of 2-2.5%.
[0024] Furthermore, the oxidation reaction temperature of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor is in the range of 175-160°C, and the oxidation reaction temperatures of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor are sorted from high to low in sequence.
[0025] Furthermore, the oxidation reaction pressure of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor is 1.15-1.35 MpaG.
[0026] Furthermore, the molar conversion rate of cyclohexane is controlled within 2.5-4.5%.
[0027] Furthermore, the molar conversion rate of cyclohexane is controlled within 3-4%.
[0028] Furthermore, the oxygen content of the gas entering the completely back-mixed oxidation reactor sorted later decreases continuously, and the amount of inert gas increases continuously. The oxidation reaction temperature of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor is adjusted by increasing the amount of inert gas.
[0029] Furthermore, the inert gas is compressed oxidation reaction tail gas.
[0030] Furthermore, the inert gas is nitrogen or oxygen-deficient air.
[0031] The cyclohexane oxidation device for implementing the method for improving the oxidation yield of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone in the present invention includes an oxidation reactor composed of a series of completely back-mixed oxidation reactors connected in series. The volumes of each completely back-mixed oxidation reactor are different and are arranged in descending order according to the volume size.
[0032] The present invention has the following positive effects: (1) The oxidation reactor of the present invention is composed of a series of completely back-mixed oxidation reactors with different volumes, which are arranged in series in descending order according to the volume size. This design form not only ensures the mass transfer and mixing requirements of the reactants but also meets the high yield requirements of a plug flow reactor. The oxidation yield of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone can be increased to more than 91.6%, which is about 4% higher than the best value of the existing operating device; (2) Since the present invention adjusts the oxidation reaction temperature of each oxidation reactor by using the high-pressure oxidation reaction compressed tail gas in the system, the required compressor power is very small and will not significantly increase the power consumption, which is beneficial to energy conservation; (3) The present invention does not need to introduce external inert gas, which will not affect the absorption load of the oxidation reaction tail gas and will not cause more refrigerant consumption.
