Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of organic phosphorus chemistry and phosphorus chemical industry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of phosphine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Phosphine (also known as phosphine, PH3) is a linear structure of phosphorus hydride, which is a colorless and highly toxic gas at room temperature, condenses into a liquid at -88℃, and solidifies at -133.8℃. Due to the chemical activity of P-H bond, phosphine can add to unsaturated groups and coordinate with Lewis acids and metal ions. PH3 and its derivatives act as ligands and transition metals and their salts through P-M σ bond and d(M)-d(P) feedback π bond, forming a series of important coordination compounds. Most of these coordination compounds have strong catalytic activity and are widely used as catalysts for olefin hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, carbonylation and other reactions. In addition, high-purity phosphine can be used as an important electronic gas adjusting material in solar energy and semiconductor materials; a small amount of phosphine will be used as a fumigant in grain storage. At the same time, phosphine derivatives are also widely used in bactericides, biological reducing agents, mixed metal separation agents, flame retardants and quantum dots, and other fine chemicals. At present, the main methods for preparing phosphine in industry are:

[0003] 1) By-product method. A large amount of PH3 is produced as a by-product when sodium hypophosphite is produced by reaction of yellow phosphorus and alkali. Patent CN201310289015.X and CN201210522061.5 disclose a preparation method of phosphine, which is to generate phosphine, hypophosphite and phosphite by reaction of yellow phosphorus and alkali, to obtain a mixture of hypophosphorous acid and phosphorous acid by treating the hypophosphite and phosphite with inorganic acid, and to generate phosphine and by-product phosphoric acid by pyrolysis of the mixed acid. The equation is as follows: ;

[0004] However, NaH2PO2 in the above method will further react under alkaline conditions to generate H2 and Na3PO4, resulting in PH3 containing a certain amount of H2. In addition, the highest yield of phosphine generated by this method is only 25%.

[0005] 2) Pyrolysis. Patent CN201310289544.X discloses a method for producing PH3 by pyrolysis of phosphorous acid, which utilizes platinum-carbon catalyst to pyrolyze phosphorous acid at 150-200℃, thereby obtaining high-purity PH3. CN201310290020.2 and CN201210521890.1 disclose a method for simultaneously preparing PH3 and sodium trimetaphosphate. A mixture of sodium trivalent phosphate and sodium pentavalent phosphate salt with a certain composition is heated at 200-400℃ under nitrogen protection to undergo disproportionation and condensation reactions, thereby obtaining relatively pure PH3 and sodium trimetaphosphate. However, the above method needs to be carried out under high-temperature conditions, which is relatively harsh.

[0006] 3) Other methods. CN202210379814.5 discloses a preparation method of phosphine / deuterated phosphine and derivatives thereof. The method is to efficiently prepare phosphine or deuterated phosphine by using white phosphorus and a compound or mixture containing proton (H + ) or deuterated proton (D + ) as the reaction raw material. However, the above method has a long reaction time and low yield, which is not suitable for industrial production.

[0007] In view of the problems of low yield, harsh reaction conditions, and unsuitability for industrial production in the prior art, there is an urgent need to develop a new preparation method of phosphine. SUMMARY
