Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deep processing of forest chemical products, and particularly relates to a green production process for synthesizing 1,8-terpene diol and dehydrating it to prepare perfume-grade terpineol. Background Art

[0002] 1,8-Terpene diol (hydrated terpene diol) is an intermediate for synthesizing terpineol and is also an expectorant, usually used for patients with acute or chronic bronchitis to dilute (relax) thick phlegm. The synthesis of 1,8-terpene diol by the reaction of pinene with water is separated from the reaction system in the form of hydrated terpene diol crystals. On the one hand, this is conducive to its separation and purification, and ultimately obtaining high-quality terpineol for perfume; on the other hand, this also makes it difficult to use heterogeneous catalysts such as cation resins and solid acids to replace the 30-38% sulfuric acid used in production, so as to solve the technical problems of reducing pollution, equipment corrosion and high energy consumption. Chinese Patent Application CN201710258186.4 discloses a green production method of hydrated terpene diol and terpineol. Specifically, after the hydration reaction in the two-step production of terpineol, the by-product red oil from the previous batch is added to wash the hydrated terpene diol crystals, and this method reduces the discharge of wastewater compared with the traditional water washing. Chinese Patent Application CN201110169483.4 discloses a process for preparing terpineol. Specifically, turpentine or industrial pinene is used to carry out a hydration reaction under acid catalysis and ultrasonic assistance, then left to stand for layering, neutralized and washed to obtain hydrated terpene diol crystal products and red oil, and then the hydrated terpene diol crystal products are dehydrated with dilute acid catalysis to generate butter mainly containing terpineol, and finally the terpineol product is obtained through rectification and purification.

[0003] Since the hydration reaction of pinene to form terpin diol is an exothermic reaction, it is advisable to carry out the reaction at 30 °C. When the temperature is high, terpene by-products such as limonene and terpinene will increase. Using 30% sulfuric acid as the catalyst, the heat release is large in the early stage of the reaction. During production, the cooling water temperature is usually controlled at 5 °C or even below 0 °C, often requiring a high-power refrigerator for cooling, resulting in high energy consumption. Moreover, using brine as the cooling medium is likely to cause corrosion of the equipment. At the same time, due to the use of 30% sulfuric acid as the catalyst, which has strong corrosiveness, the reaction needs to be carried out in an enamel reaction kettle. However, it is not easy to install baffles in the enamel reaction kettle, and the heat and mass transfer efficiency is not high. To increase the contact between the oil and water phases and improve the mixing effect, a relatively high stirring speed is required, and the material circulation volume is large. Coupled with the formation of terpin diol crystals, it is easy to cause accidents such as bending of the stirring shaft. The dehydration of hydrate terpin diol to synthesize terpineol, the main components of which are α-terpineol, and the relative contents of β-terpineol and γ-terpineol are also relatively high. The classic process for the dehydration reaction is to use a sulfuric acid solution of less than 0.2%, and stir the reaction under boiling reflux conditions, requiring the acid content of the input terpin diol crystals to be lower than 0.12%. The terpin diol crystals formed by hydration need to be neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution, and the residual sulfates will affect the catalytic performance of sulfuric acid. Multiple washings will produce a large amount of dilute acid water that is difficult to recover (Mou Daqing. Process Technology Improvement and Effect Analysis of Two-step Production of Medicinal Terpineol [J]. Biomass Chemical Engineering, 2010, 44(01): 27-30.).

[0004] The academic community believes that when phosphoric acid is used as the catalyst for the hydration reaction of pinene, no hydrate terpin diol (1,8-terpin diol) is produced in the crude product, but terpineol is directly obtained. On the other hand, phosphoric acid has a good effect on catalyzing the dehydration of hydrate terpin diol, and the alcohol content in the butter is more than 85% (Jiang Jianchun, Chu Fuxiang, Wang Yongqiang, et al. Modern Forest Products Chemical Engineering (Volume II) [M]. Beijing: Chemical Industry Press, 2024: 244-247.). This means that if the synthesis of hydrate terpin diol from pinene can be catalyzed by phosphoric acid, the hydrate terpin diol separated by centrifugation does not need to be neutralized with alkali (when catalyzed by sulfuric acid, neutralization is necessary), which will greatly reduce the generation of wastewater. Experiments show that when using phosphoric acid with a mass concentration <50% and following the sulfuric acid method for the pinene hydration reaction conditions at 20-30 °C for 24 h, no hydrate terpin diol can be obtained. If hydrate terpin diol is to be obtained, the reaction time needs to be extended to more than 240 h, or the phosphoric acid concentration needs to be increased to more than 50%, but the yield is relatively low (50-60%). Chinese Patent Application CN201810689839.9 discloses a method for synthesizing terpin diol from turpentine and preparing terpineol and terpinyl acetate. Using a phosphoric acid composite catalyst, the highest yield of hydrate terpin diol is 95.2%. However, there are still problems such as low yield of hydrate terpin diol and the need for fractional distillation to purify terpineol. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the problems of high energy consumption, low yield and the need to treat a large amount of wastewater existing in the traditional "two-step" process for synthesizing terpineol, and improve the atom economy of synthesizing hydrate terpene diol from turpentine and its dehydration to prepare terpineol through technological innovation, so as to develop a green synthesis process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A green production process for synthesizing 1,8-terpene diol and its dehydration to prepare perfume-grade terpineol, including a hydration reaction, centrifugal separation, acid water recovery, dehydration reaction and by-product recovery, characterized in that: the hydration reaction includes the following steps, adding turpentine (pinene content ≥ 85%), water, α-hydroxy acid composite catalyst and emulsifier into the reaction tank according to a mass ratio of 100:50-150:20-150:0.01-0.08, starting stirring, with the reaction temperature being 5-40°C and the reaction time being 2-10 days; the α-hydroxy acid composite catalyst is composed of α-hydroxy acid and phosphoric acid or boric acid; the α-hydroxy acid is composed of one or several of glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, lactobionic acid; the order of adding the raw materials into the hydration reaction tank is water, catalyst, turpentine.

[0008] Further, the hydration reaction adopts intermittent stirring, 2-6 times per day, 1-5 minutes each time, with an interval of 6-12 hours each time.

[0009] Further, the catalyst for the hydration reaction is composed of α-hydroxy acid and phosphoric acid, and their mass ratio is 1-50:100.

[0010] Further, the catalyst for the hydration reaction is composed of α-hydroxy acid and boric acid, and their mass ratio is 100:1-60.

[0011] Further, the emulsifier is made from the following raw materials: sophorolipid, N-methyl-N,N-dialkyl chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, polyglycerol fatty acid ester, sodium citrate, sodium gluconate, nano-silica and water.

[0012] Further, the hydration reaction tank is an IBC ton barrel, with the inner liner made of high-density polyethylene, the outer frame welded and formed by hot-dip galvanized steel pipes, the bottom tray cast from steel plates, and plastic corner guards installed at the four bottom corners, and the diameter of the loading port is larger than the diameter of the stirring paddle.

[0013] Further, after the hydration reaction is completed, the crude hydrated terpineol in the reaction tank is taken out and separated by a centrifuge at a rotation speed of 800 - 1000 r / min and a filter screen aperture of 800 - 1000 meshes, and the centrifugate is collected; then, water accounting for 10% of the mass of the hydrated terpineol is added, the hydrated terpineol is washed and separated by a centrifuge, and this is repeated 3 times, and the centrifugates are combined; the collected centrifugate is allowed to stand and layer, the upper layer is a by-product containing isomers such as limonene, terpinene, and terpinolene, and the lower layer is acid water; the obtained acid water is returned to the reaction tank; after the obtained by-product is metered, it is added to the reaction tank together with turpentine as a raw material for the next hydration reaction.

[0014] Further, 1 - 10% of a catalyst needs to be added to the hydration reaction; the catalyst is phosphoric acid or α - hydroxycarboxylic acid.

[0015] Further, the dehydration reaction is to add the dehydrated hydrated terpineol to a dehydration reaction kettle equipped with an oil - water separator, and add water 2 - 3 times its mass and citric acid or tartaric acid 0 - 0.5‰ of its mass, and the temperature is controlled at 100°C - 105°C, and the reaction is carried out until no terpineol is distilled out.

[0016] Further, the dehydrated product of the hydrated terpineol is put into a distillation kettle equipped with an oil - water separator, water 2 - 3 times its mass is added, and β - molecular sieve 2 - 3% of its mass is added, heated to boiling, the crude terpineol distilled out in the first 10 min is collected and purified by vacuum fractional distillation; continue distilling until no terpineol is distilled out, and the collected product is used as perfume - grade terpineol; the hydrogen - type β - molecular sieve has a silica - alumina ratio of 25 - 30 and a particle size of ≤5 μm.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. The hydration reaction of turpentine in the present invention can adopt intermittent stirring, and the total stirring time per day is about 6 min. Even if the reaction takes 15 days to complete (5 - 7 days in summer), the total stirring time required is only 90 min. While the traditional sulfuric acid method requires a high - speed stirring of a 11 - 15 kW motor for 24 h, consuming 264 - 360 degrees of electricity (Mou Daqing. Process Technology Improvement and Effect Analysis of Producing Medicinal Terpineol by Two - Step Method [J]. Biomass Chemical Engineering, 2010, 44(01): 27 - 30.). Assuming the use of the same motor, the new process only requires 5.5 - 16.5 degrees of electricity, and the electric energy can be saved by more than 93% only for the stirring motor of the reaction kettle. Moreover, the hydration reaction of the present invention has no intense heat release, the reaction is carried out at room temperature, and no refrigerator is required for cooling, which can greatly reduce the energy consumption. If the industrial electricity price is 1 yuan / degree, the energy consumption cost of the traditional pinene hydration reaction > 264, while the energy consumption cost of the new process is only 5.5 - 16.5 yuan.

[0019] 2. The mass yield of the synthetic terpin hydrate from turpentine oil in the present invention can reach 110%, and the content of 1,8-terpinol is 98%, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 . Moreover, when the high-efficiency emulsifier of the present invention is added to the hydration reaction, its dosage is less than 1‰. The obtained terpin hydrate does not need to be neutralized with alkali, and the acidic water can be reused, with almost no waste water discharge.

[0020] 3. The hydration reaction tank of the present invention can use IBC ton barrels, with less equipment investment. There is no need to build a special reaction platform, and it has good site adaptability. If n ICB barrels are grouped into 1# - 10#, starting from the first day of production, n barrels in the 1# group are fed with materials, and so on. On the 10th day, n barrels in the 10# group are fed with materials; then on the 11th day, after separating the terpin hydrate products in the n barrels of the 1# group, continue to feed materials, and so on. On the 20th day, the n barrels in the 10# group are discharged. In this way, it can ensure that at least 200 kg / barrel × n barrels = 200 × n kg of terpin hydrate products are produced every day.

[0021] 4. The isomerization by-products of the turpentine hydration reaction in the present invention can be reused as raw materials, that is, the by-products of the previous batch can be used as raw materials together with the turpentine oil of this batch. Different from the sulfuric acid method, the catalyst of this new process can catalyze isomerization by-products such as limonene, terpinene, and isolimonene to continue to react with water to synthesize terpin hydrate.

[0022] 5. For the dehydration reaction of the terpin hydrate in the present invention, the GC content of terpineol in the product can reach 90%, and the selectivity of terpineol can reach 91.1%, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 . Appendix Figure 2 In the gas chromatogram of the appendix, the three main peaks from left to right are β-terpineol, α-terpineol, and γ-terpineol, and their GC contents are 19.1%, 51.2%, and 19.7% respectively. Since the content of terpineol in the dehydration product ≥ 90%, it can be directly used as a fragrance, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 .

[0023] 6. In the present invention, by adding the dehydration reaction product of terpin hydrate back into the distillation kettle and adding hydrogen-type β-zeolite, the remaining terpin hydrate is further dehydrated to obtain terpineol, thereby improving the yield and purity of terpineol. The purity of the obtained terpineol can reach 93.5%, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 . Appendix Figure 3 In the gas chromatogram of the appendix, the three main peaks from left to right are β-terpineol, α-terpineol, and γ-terpineol, and their GC contents are 14.0%, 60.1%, and 19.4% respectively. For the same-specification terpineol sold on the market (purified by vacuum fractional distillation), the contents of the three isomers are 2.7% for β-terpineol, 70.1% for α-terpineol, and 20.7% for γ-terpineol, and the total GC content of terpineol is 93.5%, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 . From the appendixFigure 4 It can be seen that for the terpineol purified by the vacuum fractional distillation method, the content of β-terpineol is only 2.7%. This is because the boiling points of β-terpineol and the by-product fenchol are close, and it is very difficult to separate them using a distillation column. During vacuum fractional distillation, they almost distill out together. Attached Figure 4 Compared with Attached Figure 3 more than 80% of β-terpineol is lost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
