Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of continuous distillation apparatus for the preparation of hydroxybutyl acrylate, specifically relating to a hydrophobic mesoporous confined Sn... 2+ -SO3H dual-acid-site magnetic polymer solid acid catalyst, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] 4-Hydroxybutyl acrylate (4-HBA), a highly reactive (iso)bifunctional monomer, possesses an acryloyloxy group with high reactivity, suitable for UV curing or thermosetting processes. The hydroxyl group, a polar group, provides excellent adhesion and can react with other functional groups (such as isocyanates) to form cross-linked networks. This bifunctional characteristic makes 4-HBA an ideal monomer for preparing high-performance polymers. The chemical resistance, weather resistance, scratch resistance, and excellent adhesion of 4-HBA demonstrate significant application potential in high-end automotive topcoats, UV-cured coatings, and adhesives. Compared to common hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA), 4-HBA exhibits significant performance advantages, especially its long carbon chain structure, which imparts better flexibility and low-temperature compliance to the polymer. In recent years, with the rapid development of the automotive and high-end coating industries, the demand for 4-HBA has been increasing, making it a research hotspot in the field of acrylate monomers. Germany and Japan have a clear advantage in the research and application of 4-HBA, while my country's research in this area is still in its early stages. Therefore, in-depth research on the synthetic routes of 4-HBA is of great significance for promoting my country's independent innovation capabilities in the field of high-end acrylate monomers and improving product quality.
[0003] Transesterification is one of the important process routes for synthesizing hydroxybutyl 4-acrylate. Its core principle is to allow 1,4-butanediol to undergo transesterification with alkyl acrylate in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydroxybutyl 4-acrylate and the corresponding alcohol.
[0004] Osaka Organic Chemicals Co., Ltd. has developed a patented technology that uses dialkyltin oxides with 4-18 alkyl carbon atoms as transesterification catalysts, particularly dioctyltin oxide and dilauryltin oxide. These catalysts exhibit high catalytic activity and selectivity at specific dosages (0.00001-0.01 mol of catalyst per 1 mol of alkyl acrylate). The process uses cyclohexane as the organic solvent, and the product is purified through a multi-step extraction process: first, an extraction solvent containing water and cyclohexane is mixed to allow 4-HBA to enter the aqueous phase; then, the aqueous phase is mixed with an extraction solvent containing aromatic hydrocarbons, allowing 4-HBA to be re-extracted into the organic phase, thus achieving product purification and catalyst recovery and reuse.
[0005] The transesterification method for synthesizing hydroxybutyl 4-acrylate offers mild reaction conditions, effectively controlling the self-polymerization of alkyl acrylates. Using alkyl acrylates as raw materials simplifies storage and handling. The catalysts exhibit high activity and selectivity, particularly the application of novel dialkyltin oxide catalysts, enabling the reaction to proceed at lower temperatures. However, the transesterification method also has significant limitations: firstly, catalyst separation is difficult, and residual catalyst can lead to poor product storage stability and even disproportionation side reactions; secondly, product purification is cumbersome, requiring multiple extraction steps, which may affect the yield.
[0006] To achieve widespread application of 4-HBA, a series of technical challenges still need to be addressed. The first is cost; currently, the production cost of 4-HBA is relatively high, limiting its large-scale application. However, production costs can be effectively reduced through catalyst optimization, process simplification, and process intensification. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The present invention also provides the application of the above catalyst in the catalytic synthesis of hydroxybutyl 4-acrylate.
[0019] A method for preparing hydroxybutyl 4-acrylate includes the following steps: a. Preparation of the reaction solution: The catalyst in the fixed bed is Fe3O4@mP(St-FD-Sn)-SO3H solid acid catalyst, wherein the molar ratio of 1,4-butanediol to methyl acrylate is 1-3:1, and the polymerization inhibitor is hydroquinone, added at 0.1-0.3 wt% of methyl acrylate; the reaction solution is prepared at a space velocity of 20-30 h⁻¹. -1 The mixture enters the fixed-bed microreactor R101 at a reaction temperature of 90-110℃, and then the reaction solution is discharged at a flow rate of 1.5 kg / h. b. After discharge, the product enters continuous distillation, with the following separation targets: 4-HBA product purity ≥ 99%, and BDO recycling purity > 95%; The reaction solution first enters the T-101 distillation column (de-alcoholization and de-esterification column) at a rate of 1.5 kg / h, mainly separating the light component (MA / MeOH) from the heavy component (BDO / 4-HBA / BDA / HQ). The internal components are glass sieve plates or packing. The column diameter is 30 mm, the column height is 2 m, the operating pressure is 40 kPa, the reflux ratio is 1-3, the feed temperature is 60°C, the column top temperature is 40-42°C (boiling point of MA / MeOH azeotrope), the column bottom temperature is 72-76°C (ensuring that MA / MeOH has been completely distilled), and the column top discharge flow rate is 0.193 kg / h. c. After preheating (to 85℃), the liquid in the bottom of column T101 enters distillation column T-102 (product purification column) to accurately separate 4-HBA and BDO. It uses structured glass packing, has a column diameter of 25mm, a column height of 2.5m, an operating pressure of 3 kPa, a reflux ratio of 5-20, a top temperature of 95-100℃ (light components and a small amount of BDO), and uses total reflux at the top. The side stream temperature is 115-120℃ (high-purity 4-HBA vapor phase), the bottom temperature is 140-146℃, the side stream product flow rate is 0.648 kg / h, and the bottom distillate flow rate is 0.659 kg / h. d. The liquid from the bottom of tower T102 enters tower T-103 (BDO recovery tower) for BDO recovery. Corrugated mesh packing is used, with a tower diameter of 20 mm, a tower height of 1.5 m, an operating pressure of 1.5 kPa, a reflux ratio of 1-5, a tower top temperature of 125-130℃ (recovered BDO), a tower bottom temperature of 160-168℃ (concentrated BDO), a tower top discharge flow rate of 0.535 kg / h, and a tower bottom discharge flow rate of 0.124 kg / h.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (1) A hydrophobic mesoporous confined Sn was synthesized. 2+ The Fe3O4@mP(St-FD-Sn)-SO3H dual-acid magnetic polymer solid acid catalyst integrates two different catalytic active centers (Lewis acidic Sn and Brønsted acidic -SO3H), exhibiting good catalytic performance and enabling high yields in transesterification reactions.
[0021] (2) After the reaction is completed, the catalyst can be selectively and quickly separated from the reaction solution using only an external magnet, without the need for cumbersome centrifugation, filtration and other operations. This greatly simplifies the operation process, reduces the loss of catalyst during the separation process, and lays the foundation for the recycling and economic feasibility of the catalyst.
[0022] (3) The catalyst integrates a polymer skeleton (crosslinked polystyrene) and a SiO2 interlayer, providing robust mechanical and chemical protection for the catalyst. It has high chemical stability, which can protect the internal magnetic core from acid and oxygen erosion, prevent the leaching and loss of active components, and has strong structural stability. The robust support can prevent the catalyst from structurally collapsing during the reaction and recovery process, thereby extending the service life of the catalyst.
[0023] (4) The mesoporous polymer shell (mp) of the catalyst has a high specific surface area and tunable nanoscale pores. The high loading capacity can carry a large number of catalytic active sites. The open pores promote mass transfer, allowing reactant molecules to diffuse rapidly to the active sites and product molecules to leave smoothly, thereby increasing the reaction rate.
[0024] (5) Using continuous distillation for product purification reduces the introduction of extractant compared to traditional purification which uses continuous extraction followed by distillation. This results in purer product quality, higher yield, significantly reduced production costs, and a reduction in the number of equipment required, thus lowering equipment procurement costs.

Preparation of the reaction solution: The catalyst in the fixed bed is the Fe3O4@mP(St-FD-Sn)-SO3H solid acid catalyst as described in claim 8, with the addition of 1,4-butanediol and methyl acrylate, the molar ratio of 1,4-butanediol to methyl acrylate being 1-3:1, and the polymerization inhibitor being hydroquinone, added at an amount of 0.1-0.3 wt% of methyl acrylate; the reaction is carried out at a space velocity of 20-30 h⁻¹. -1 The mixture enters the fixed-bed microreactor R101 at a reaction temperature of 90-110℃, and then the reaction solution is discharged at a flow rate of 1.5 kg / h. b. After discharge, the product enters continuous distillation, with the following separation targets: 4-HBA product purity ≥99%, and BDO recycling purity >95%; The reaction solution first enters the distillation column T-101 (de-alcoholization and de-esterification column) at a rate of 1.5 kg / h. The internal components are glass sieve plates or packing. The column diameter is 30 mm, the column height is 2 m, the operating pressure is 40 kPa, the reflux ratio is 1-3, the feed temperature is 60°C, the column top temperature is 40-42°C, the column bottom temperature is 72-76°C, and the column top discharge flow rate is 0.193 kg / h. c. After being preheated to 85℃, the liquid in the bottom of column T101 enters the distillation column T-102 (product purification column) to accurately separate 4-HBA and BDO. It uses structured glass packing, has a column diameter of 25mm, a column height of 2.5m, an operating pressure of 3 kPa, a reflux ratio of 5-20, a top temperature of 95-100℃, uses total reflux at the top, a side stream temperature of 115-120℃ (high-purity 4-HBA vapor phase), a bottom temperature of 140-146℃, a side stream product flow rate of 0.648 kg / h, and a bottom distillate flow rate of 0.659 kg / h. d. The liquid from the bottom of tower T102 enters tower T-103 (BDO recovery tower) for BDO recovery. Corrugated mesh packing is used, with a tower diameter of 20mm, a tower height of 1.5m, an operating pressure of 1.5 kPa, a reflux ratio of 1-5, a tower top temperature of 125-130℃ (recovered BDO), a tower bottom temperature of 160-168℃, a tower top discharge flow rate of 0.535kg / h, and a tower bottom discharge flow rate of 0.124kg / h.
