Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of 1-octene production, and particularly relates to a preparation method of octadiene monomethyl ether (1-MOD) and a catalyst for catalytically synthesizing octadiene monomethyl ether. BACKGROUND
[0002] 1-octene is an important comonomer and organic raw material, mainly used for producing high-end polyethylene, POE elastomer, PAO base oil, plasticizer, surfactant and other high value-added products, and widely applied in plastic, rubber and textile fields, and thus has a high demand. However, 1-octene is difficult to produce, has high technical barriers and is highly monopolized in the industry.
[0003] 1-octene production technologies mainly include wax cracking method, ethylene oligomerization method, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis method and butadiene telomerization method. The wax cracking method was the first to realize industrial production, but it has been eliminated because of its complex product components, purification difficulties and lack of competitiveness in economy and product quality. The ethylene oligomerization method has high product purity and good atom economy, but has problems such as easy generation of oligomers in the reaction and low product selectivity. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis method contains a certain amount of high-carbon alpha-olefins in the product, but the olefins and alkanes have similar boiling points and are difficult to separate, so the purity of 1-octene is low. Therefore, in 1992, DOW Company developed a new route for producing 1-octene by cracking methyl octyl ether, which improved the preparation process of 1-octene. The reaction structure is shown below. First, two butadiene molecules and one methanol molecule undergo telomerization to form 1-MOD; then 1-MOD forms methyl octyl ether, and finally methyl octyl ether is cracked to obtain the target product 1-octene. According to the existing technical data, the second and third steps have high efficiency and high selectivity, and the related products can almost achieve quantitative conversion. Therefore, the efficiency of the whole process mainly depends on the first step, i.e. the telomerization of 1,3-butadiene and methanol.
[0004]
[0005] EP0561779B1 discloses a method for producing 1-octene, comprising the following steps: (i) reacting 1,3-butadiene with a compound containing active hydrogen atoms and having the formula R-H in the presence of a telomerization catalyst to form 1-substituted-2,7-octadiene, wherein R represents the residue of a primary aliphatic alcohol or an aromatic hydroxyl compound; (ii) hydrogenating the 1-substituted-2,7-octadiene formed in step (i) in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to form 1-substituted octane; and (iii) decomposing the 1-substituted octane formed in step (ii) in the presence of a suitable catalyst to form 1-octene. The n / i ratio of the 1-octene obtained by this method is low.
[0006] CN115007217A discloses a heterogeneous solid polymer palladium catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and a method for preparing 2,7-octadiene methyl ether by catalyzing butadiene telomerization. The polymer palladium catalyst comprises metal palladium as an active component and a carrier polymer as a carrier, wherein the carrier polymer is polymerized from styrene and vinyl-functionalized triphenylphosphine. The catalyst has good stability and can be recycled, and the conversion rate is up to 90%. However, the reaction activity of the catalyst is slightly low.
