Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method and apparatus for continuous amination and hydrogenation of acrylonitrile in a pipelined reactor. Background Technology

[0002] Acrylonitrile (molecular formula C3H3N, molecular weight 53.06, boiling point 77.3℃) is an important organic chemical raw material, playing a significant role in synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, and other polymer materials, and has broad application prospects. Furthermore, acrylonitrile polymers and their derivatives are also widely used in building materials and daily necessities.

[0003] 1,3-Propanediamine derivatives (R,R҆:-(CH2)nCH3) are a class of widely used organic chemical raw materials and fine chemical intermediates. N,N-Dimethyl-1,3-Propanediamine, abbreviated as DMAPA, belongs to the lower aliphatic diamine class and is an important chemical intermediate widely used in the preparation of detergents, surfactants, textiles, lubricant additives, gasoline additives, preservatives, humectants, and foaming agents. 3-Diethylaminopropylamine, with the molecular formula C7H... 18 N2 can be used as a solvent, extractant, and intermediate in organic synthesis. It can also be used as a curing agent for epoxy resins, in small castings, laminates, and adhesives.

[0004] The synthesis of 1,3-propanediamine derivatives can be achieved by first reacting acrylonitrile with an amine via Michael addition to generate the corresponding aminopropionitrile, followed by hydrogenation. For example, in the industrial synthesis of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine, acrylonitrile undergoes an addition reaction with dimethylamine to prepare dimethylaminopropionitrile, which is then hydrogenated to obtain N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine. Patent CN113620813A summarizes methods for synthesizing N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine using different reaction devices such as fixed-bed reactors, bubble-cap reactors, and reaction vessels. However, batch reactors are difficult to use for continuous production due to low levels of automation and complex processes; microchannel reactors are costly and difficult to scale up industrially; while fixed-bed reactors have limited heat transfer, easily leading to localized overheating and increasing process risk. Furthermore, the catalyst in fixed-bed reactors is prone to deactivation, requiring shutdown and catalyst replacement.

[0005] The Michael addition reaction of acrylonitrile with amines and the hydrogenation reaction of aminopropionitrile are characterized by high and rapid exothermic reactions. Especially for the hydrogenation reaction, inaccurate temperature control can lead to runaway temperatures and the risk of hydrogen explosion. Furthermore, batch processes may result in acrylonitrile leaks, posing a health hazard to operators. Therefore, developing continuous, safe, efficient, high-yield, simple-to-operate, and low-cost processes is crucial for the amination and hydrogenation of acrylonitrile to prepare 1,3-propanediamine derivatives. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and apparatus for continuous amination and hydrogenation of acrylonitrile in a pipelined reactor.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention uses acrylonitrile and amine as raw materials. First, an addition reaction is carried out in a first-stage tubular reactor to obtain aminopropionitrile. Then, the reaction solution is directly injected into a second-stage tubular reactor coated with a Ni-Cu catalyst for a hydrogenation reaction to obtain the corresponding 1,3-propanediamine derivative. The synthetic reaction formula is as follows:

[0008]

[0030] (5) The product post-processing is simple. High-purity products can be obtained through simple vacuum distillation, simplifying the operation process. Attached Figure Description

[0036] (2) Acrylonitrile and dimethylamine were injected into the first pipeline reactor 1 (inner diameter 4 mm, pipe length 10 m) at a molar ratio of 1:1.1 via metering pump 1 and metering pump 2. The flow rates of acrylonitrile and dimethylamine were 11.92 g / min and 11.14 g / min, respectively. The reaction temperature was set to 20 °C. The reaction pressure was adjusted to 0.2 MPa via back pressure valve 1 after the first pipeline reactor 1. The reaction residence time was 4 min.

[0037] (3) The reaction liquid at the outlet of the first pipeline reactor 1 flows directly into the second pipeline reactor 2 (inner diameter 30 mm, pipe length 20 m) after passing through a one-way valve. At the same time, hydrogen is injected into the second pipeline reactor 2 for hydrogenation reaction.

A small amount of liquid is taken through sampling valve 1 for gas phase analysis. The conversion rate of acrylonitrile is 99.8% and the yield of N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine is higher than 99.0%. The purity of the N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine product obtained after vacuum distillation purification is ≥99.5%.
