Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of olefin hydroformylation technology; specifically, it relates to a system apparatus and method for producing aldehyde compounds by supergravity two-phase hydroformylation. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroformylation is a core process in industrial production for the preparation of aldehydes and alcohols. Its high atom economy makes it widely used in the synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals such as plasticizers and detergents, making it an indispensable key technology in modern chemical industry. Taking butanol and octanol (propylene hydroformylation process) as an example, by the end of 2023, my country's effective production capacity of n-butanol and octanol totaled 5.746 million tons / year, with an estimated annual output value of approximately 32.17 billion yuan based on a 70% operating rate. Currently, low-carbon hydroformylation processes generally employ homogeneous catalysts, resulting in a gas-liquid two-phase reaction. Enhancing gas-liquid mass transfer can improve reaction efficiency to some extent. However, in the production of higher alcohols, due to the high boiling point of the product, using a homogeneous reaction would lead to faster catalyst deactivation due to the high temperature during catalyst-product separation. Therefore, two-phase hydroformylation has significant advantages in higher alcohol production. By employing heterogeneous catalysts, catalyst-product separation is achieved through a phase-separation tank, resulting in a gas-liquid-liquid reaction. Compared to homogeneous reactions, two-phase hydroformylation demands higher mass transfer capabilities, involving not only gas-liquid mass transfer but also liquid-liquid two-phase mixing.

[0003] Traditional stirred tank reactor (SBR) processes for two-phase hydroformylation often employ polar solvents or surfactants to enhance the gas-liquid-liquid reaction, which leads to increased production costs and difficulties in the subsequent separation of solvents, products, and catalysts.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application No. 202110038259.5 discloses a method for preparing aldehydes by two-phase hydroformylation of olefins. This method uses inexpensive and readily available highly polar formamides, N-methylformamides, N,N-dimethylformamides, etc., as solvents to hydroformylate olefins with H2 / CO synthesis gas to generate aldehydes. Since the solubility of olefins in highly polar organic solvents is much greater than their solubility in water, the reaction activity is greatly improved compared to water-oil two-phase hydroformylation.

[0005] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 202310817701.3 discloses a composition and method for preparing high carbon aldehydes by hydroformylation in water / oil. This method improves the low solubility of high carbon olefins in water by adding quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactants to the reaction system, thereby improving the reaction efficiency.

[0006] However, the above technology still has the following drawbacks: 1) low efficiency of two-phase hydroformylation reaction; 2) low separation efficiency of hydroformylation products; 3) severe self-polymerization during the purification process of hydroformylation products. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The second technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a method for producing aldehyde compounds through two-phase hydroformylation under centrifugal force using the aforementioned system. This method can significantly enhance the two-phase hydroformylation reaction process through a centrifugal reactor without adding polar solvents or surfactants, shortening the process flow. The product is then separated and purified using a centrifugal distillation unit to obtain aldehyde compounds. This solves the problems of low efficiency in the two-phase hydroformylation reaction and severe self-polymerization during the purification process of the hydroformylation product in existing technologies. Using the method of this invention, the olefin conversion rate is above 90%, the aldehyde selectivity is above 99%, the purity of the purified product is above 99%, and the catalyst loss is ≤0.5 mg / kg.

[0046] Utilize Figure 1 The system shown performs a two-phase hydroformylation reaction, including the following steps: S1, fresh olefins, recycled catalyst phase (aqueous phase, containing ligands) and recycled liquid phase enter the hypergravity reactor 1 through a liquid phase mixer. The ratio of olefins to catalyst is 1000:1, and the ratio of catalyst to ligand is 1:10. They react with syngas in the hypergravity reactor 1 to produce aldehydes.

The liquid phase after the reaction enters the buffer tank 2, and is first sent to the bottom heat exchanger 4 of the tower by the first circulation pump 3 to exchange heat with the bottom liquid phase of the supergravity distillation unit 9. Then it enters the circulation heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange again.

The product phase is separated by the supergravity distillation unit 9. The light component gas phase at the top is vented or repressurized and sent to the supergravity reactor 1 for reaction. The liquid phase at the bottom of the supergravity distillation unit 9 first exchanges heat with the bottom heat exchanger 4.

[0048] Example 1 was repeated, except that a conventional stirred tank reactor was used instead of a supergravity reactor; a polar solvent was used instead of water used in Example 1; and a common packed column was used for the distillation process.

[0049] The results showed that the olefin conversion rate was about 80%, the aldehyde selectivity was about 90%, the purity of the purified product was about 95%, the overall energy consumption was about 130% of that in Example 1, and the catalyst loss was greater than or equal to 1 mg / kg. Comparative Example 2

[0050] Example 1 was repeated, except that a conventional stirred tank reactor was used instead of a supergravity reactor; a polar solvent was used instead of water used in Example 1; a common packed column was used for the distillation process; and a quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant was added to the reaction system, with a molar ratio of surfactant to rhodium catalyst of 50:1.

[0051] After testing, the conversion rate of olefins was about 80%, the selectivity of aldehydes was about 90%, the purity of the purified product was about 95%, the overall energy consumption was about 120% of that in Example 1, and the catalyst loss was greater than or equal to 2 mg / kg.

At the same time, by combining supergravity distillation technology and system thermal integration technology, high yield of aldehydes, low loss of catalyst, and lower overall energy consumption of the system are achieved, which has important industrial application significance.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
