Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to a continuous nitration method for naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Naphthalene sulfonic acid nitro compounds are dye intermediates prepared by dissolving naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds (such as 2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid) in sulfuric acid solution and then reacting them with nitric acid solution. Currently, the preparation process mainly uses batch nitration in a reactor, but this process has the following drawbacks: (1) The nitration reaction is highly exothermic, and the batch operation leads to local overheating of the reactor, which easily causes "runaway temperature" phenomenon; (2) Each batch of reaction needs to go through steps such as feeding, heating, holding, cooling and discharging, which is a long cycle and has low equipment utilization; (3) The mass transfer efficiency is low, the reaction is uneven, and the reaction selectivity is low.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to develop a continuous nitration method for naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds to ensure the safety of the nitration process while improving the efficiency and selectivity of the nitration reaction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a continuous nitration method for naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A continuous nitration method for naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds includes the following steps:

[0007] A solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds and a nitric acid solution are continuously fed into a tubular reactor to carry out a nitration reaction; the nitration reaction temperature is not higher than 50°C; the naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds include 2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid;

[0008] The reaction products are continuously discharged from the tubular reactor and collected.

[0009] This invention involves continuously feeding a solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds and a nitric acid solution into a tubular reactor to carry out continuous nitration of the naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds at a relatively low temperature (≤50℃). While ensuring the safety of the nitration process, this invention can significantly shorten the reaction time, improve the reaction selectivity, and increase the reaction efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the tubular reactor includes a reactor shell, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, and several reaction pipes. The reactor shell is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. Sealing gaskets are respectively provided at the two open ends of the reactor shell. The two sealing gaskets and the reactor shell together form an inner cavity. Several reaction pipes are arranged in the inner cavity. The several reaction pipes are connected in series to form a reaction channel. The inlet end of the reaction channel is connected to the inlet pipe, and the outlet end of the reaction channel is connected to the outlet pipe.

[0011] The reactor shell is provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet that communicate with the inner chamber.

[0012] More preferably, a PTFE rod is disposed inside the reaction tube, and the PTFE rod is provided with a plurality of convex rings arranged at intervals along its axial direction. An annular groove is formed between any two adjacent convex rings along the axial direction of the PTFE rod. The convex ring is provided with a connecting groove extending along its axial direction. The connecting groove extends along the axial direction of the convex ring and communicates with the connecting groove adjacent to it, so that a flow channel is formed between the inner wall of the reaction tube and the PTFE rod; the connecting grooves on any two adjacent convex rings are staggered.

[0013] This invention involves staggering the connecting grooves on any two adjacent convex rings, thereby forming a tortuous flow channel between the inner wall of the reaction tube and the PTFE rod. This creates turbulence within the reaction tube, allowing the solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds and the nitric acid solution to mix thoroughly within the tortuous flow channel. This improves mass transfer efficiency and enables the continuous nitration method described in this invention to be carried out at lower temperatures. While ensuring nitration safety, this method reduces side reactions, increases reaction rate, improves reaction selectivity, and enhances the conversion rate of naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the present invention is simple and easy to implement, with mild conditions. The mixing and reaction of the solution can be achieved through a tubular reactor without the need for other auxiliary equipment (such as a stirrer, ultrasonic generator, etc.).

[0015] More preferably, the inner chamber is provided with two guide plates, and the guide plates are provided with a plurality of guide holes. Each guide hole includes two through holes and a guide groove. The two through holes are connected through the guide groove. The reaction tube is inserted into the through hole. The inner wall of the through hole is sealed and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reaction tube. The reaction tube is connected to the guide holes on the two guide plates to form the reaction channel.

[0016] More preferably, the reactor shell is provided with support rings near its two open ends, the guide plate is disposed between the support rings and the sealing gasket, and is tightly fitted to the support rings and the sealing gasket, respectively, and the sealing gasket is provided with a pressure plate on its surface opposite to the guide plate.

[0017] It is understood that the present invention does not impose any particular restrictions on the dimensions of the components in the tubular reactor, and can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the length of the reaction tube is 0.5 to 2 m, the inner diameter of the reaction tube is 15 to 30 mm, the wall thickness of the reaction tube is 0.5 to 3 mm, the difference between the inner diameter of the reaction tube and the diameter of the PTFE rod's convex ring is 0 to 0.1 mm, the depth of the connecting groove (i.e., its radial dimension on the PTFE rod) is 0.1 to 0.3 times the diameter of the convex ring, the width of the connecting groove (i.e., its axial dimension on the PTFE rod) is 0.01 to 0.1 times the length of the PTFE rod, the depth of the annular groove (i.e., its radial dimension on the PTFE rod) is 0.1 to 0.3 times the diameter of the convex ring, and the opening width of the annular groove (i.e., its dimension on the outer circumference of the convex ring) is 0.1 to 0.3 times the diameter of the convex ring.

[0018] This application significantly improves the conversion rate and reaction selectivity of naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds by controlling process parameters such as nitration reaction temperature, reaction residence time, molar ratio of sulfuric acid to naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds in sulfuric acid solution, and molar ratio of nitric acid to naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds.

[0019] Preferably, the temperature of the nitration reaction is 5 to 45°C. For example, the temperature of the nitration reaction can be 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, or any two of these values.

[0020] More preferably, the temperature of the nitration reaction is 15–25°C.

[0021] Preferably, the molar ratio M between the nitric acid in the nitric acid solution and the naphthalene disulfonic acid compound in the solution containing the naphthalene disulfonic acid compound is 2 ≤ M ≤ 2.5. For example, the value of M can be 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, or a range consisting of any two sets of values.

[0022] For further optimization, 2.2≤M≤2.5.

[0023] Preferably, the residence time of the solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid and the nitric acid solution in the tubular reactor is t, where 40s ≤ t ≤ 120s. For example, the value of t can be 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 100s, 110s, 120s, or any range of two such values.

[0024] Further optimization is performed where 60s ≤ t ≤ 120s.

[0025] For an even better fit, 80s≤t≤100s.

[0026] Preferably, the solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds comprises naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds and sulfuric acid solution, wherein the molar ratio of sulfuric acid to naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds in the sulfuric acid solution is (9-12):1.

[0027] For example, the molar ratio of sulfuric acid to the naphthalene disulfonic acid compound in the sulfuric acid solution can be 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, or any two of these molar ratios.

[0028] More preferably, the molar ratio of sulfuric acid to the naphthalene disulfonic acid compound in the sulfuric acid solution is (10-11):1.

[0029] More preferably, the sulfuric acid solution contains 90-98% sulfuric acid by mass. For example, the sulfuric acid solution may contain 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or any two of these values.

[0030] More preferably, the sulfuric acid solution contains 95-98% sulfuric acid by mass.

[0031] Preferably, the mass percentage of nitric acid in the nitric acid solution is 90-99%. The mass percentage of nitric acid in the nitric acid solution can be 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or any two of these values.

[0032] More preferably, the mass percentage of nitric acid in the nitric acid solution is 95-97%.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] This invention continuously feeds a solution containing naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds and a nitric acid solution into a tubular reactor to carry out continuous nitration of the naphthalene disulfonic acid compounds at a lower temperature.
