Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high-purity n-heptane preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-purity heptane. Background Art

[0002] n-Heptane is a straight-chain saturated alkane with the chemical formula and is one of the various isomers of heptane. As an important organic solvent and chemical raw material, n-heptane has a wide range of applications in the fields of pharmaceuticals, coatings, paints, and fine chemical production. Its purity directly affects the quality and performance of the final product. Currently, the purity of n-heptane available on the market is usually above 90%, but with the development of the industry and technological progress, for some high-end applications, such as electronic-grade chemicals and special analytical reagents, the purity requirement for n-heptane has been increased to above 99.5%, and the demand is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN107586250B discloses a method for preparing high-purity n-hexane and high-purity n-heptane, which is prepared from the desorbed oil of naphtha adsorption separation. In the present invention, the desorbed oil of naphtha adsorption separation is subjected to rectification processing to obtain a high-purity n-hexane solvent product with a purity > 99% and a high-purity n-heptane solvent product with a purity of 99%; the recovery yields can reach > 80% and > 78% respectively. The desorbed oil used in this method is the desorbed oil rich in normal paraffins obtained by subjecting naphtha to hydrotreating pretreatment and then adsorptive separation through 5A molecular sieve. It has been found in practice that the mass content of normal paraffins in the desorbed oil obtained by adsorptive separation through 5A molecular sieve is not stable. Especially when the mass content of normal paraffins is low, the purity of n-heptane cannot reach 99.5%, and the yield of this method is also not ideal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing high-purity heptane, which uses a specific adsorbent for adsorptive separation to obtain a desorbed oil with a high content of normal paraffins, and then prepares n-heptane with a purity ≥ 99.5% through a continuous rectification process, while the yield is also improved.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A method for preparing high-purity heptane, comprising the following steps: (1) Preparing an adsorbent, comprising the following steps: S1: Mixing HY molecular sieve and MCM-41 molecular sieve to obtain a mixed molecular sieve; S2: Immersing the mixed molecular sieve in hydrochloric acid, stirring, filtering, and calcining the solid to obtain a calcined molecular sieve; S3: Immerse the calcined molecular sieve completely in a toluene solution of hexamethyldisilazane, reflux, filter, wash the solid, and dry it under vacuum to obtain a passivated molecular sieve; S4: Immerse the passivated molecular sieve completely in an ethanol solution of nitrobenzoic acid, stir, filter, and heat the solid in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a molecular sieve bonded with nitrobenzene groups; S5: Immerse the molecular sieve bonded with nitrobenzene groups completely in an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate, shake, filter, and calcine the solid to obtain a molecular sieve loaded with metal oxides; S6: In a nitrogen atmosphere, subject the molecular sieve loaded with metal oxides to degassing treatment to obtain an adsorbent; (2) The feedstock naphtha enters a hydrofining reactor for a refining reaction to obtain refined naphtha; (3) The refined naphtha enters an adsorption tower containing the adsorbent prepared in step (1) for adsorption separation and desorption to obtain desorbed oil; (4) Using the desorbed oil as a raw material, high-purity n-heptane and high-purity n-hexane are separated by a distillation device; the distillation device includes two distillation towers connected in sequence, namely an n-hexane distillation tower and an n-heptane distillation tower. High-purity n-hexane is cut out from the top of the n-hexane distillation tower, and high-purity n-heptane is cut out from the top of the n-heptane distillation tower.

[0006] In the present invention, by mixing HY molecular sieve and MCM-41 molecular sieve in a specific ratio, a mesoporous-microporous composite molecular sieve is obtained, which has both macroporous diffusion channels and microporous selective adsorption sites; first, the pores are activated by calcination and the template agent is removed, and then the silane groups cover the acidic sites on the surface of the molecular sieve, reducing the adsorption of n-heptane by passivating the acidic sites: Then, the nitrobenzene groups are anchored on the surface of the molecular sieve through hydrogen bonds, introducing π-electron acceptor groups to enhance the adsorption of aromatics. Finally, It is loaded on the surface of the molecular sieve by ion exchange and calcined to generate magnesium oxide nanoparticles loaded on the molecular sieve. The basic surface of MgO has a strong interaction with the methyl groups of branched isomers through van der Waals forces, and can selectively adsorb branched isomers while repelling straight-chain n-heptane.

[0007] The weight ratio of the HY molecular sieve to the MCM-41 molecular sieve is (2 - 3):1.

[0008] The present invention can improve the purity and yield of n - heptane by using two types of molecular sieves in a specific ratio. This is mainly because the pore diameter of the mesopores of MCM - 41 allows branched - chain isomers and aromatics to quickly diffuse into the HY micropore region, avoiding the low adsorption efficiency caused by large diffusion resistance in traditional microporous molecular sieves. The straight - chain molecules of n - heptane need to adopt an extended conformation in the micropores, resulting in a decrease in entropy, while the branched - chain isomers are more likely to enter due to their compact structure. The micropores screen and retain some branched - chain isomers, and the MCM - 41 molecular sieve captures large - molecule aromatics: the pore channels repel n - heptane through steric hindrance and enhance the adsorption of branched - chain isomers. Through the optimized design of the mixing ratio (2 - 3):1, sufficient microporous adsorption sites are ensured to cover the main impurities.
