Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fine chemical synthesis and resource recycling technology, specifically to a method for synthesizing calcium formate from carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide using ionic liquid catalysis and recovering the tail gas to prepare sodium formate, and particularly to an integrated process for ionic liquid separation and recycling, ethanol washing and ethanol recovery. Background Technology

[0002] Calcium formate (Ca(HCOO)2) and sodium formate (HCOONa) are both important fine chemical products, widely used in feed, building materials, and chemical intermediates. Traditional synthesis processes suffer from problems such as harsh reaction conditions, low CO utilization, easy catalyst loss, and solvent waste. Calcium formate synthesis often employs high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. While ionic liquids, as novel green catalysts, can optimize the reaction, their separation, recovery, and recycling stability limit their industrialization. Ethanol solution is the optimal solvent for solid-phase washing of calcium formate, but the ethanol is discharged with the waste liquid after washing, resulting in resource waste and increased environmental treatment costs.

[0003] The tail gas from formic acid plants, comprising 80.70% CO, 1.44% O2, 0.43% CH4, 7.27% H2, and 10.16%, is currently mostly burned directly, resulting in low added value. If it could be used for calcium formate synthesis, combined with tail gas recovery to produce sodium formate, and if ionic liquids and ethanol could be recycled, a complete circular system of raw materials, products, solvents, and catalysts could be constructed, significantly improving resource utilization and economic benefits.

[0004] In existing technologies, the separation and recovery processes for ionic liquids are immature, and there is no clear recovery plan after ethanol washing: conventional ethanol recovery suffers from problems such as high energy consumption, insufficient purity, and cross-contamination with ionic liquids; at the same time, if trace amounts of ionic liquid in the washing liquid are not recovered, it will lead to catalyst loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated process for the co-recovery of ionic liquids and ethanol to solve bottlenecks such as solvent waste and catalyst loss, and to promote the greening and industrialization of the process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for synthesizing calcium formate from carbon monoxide and calcium hydroxide using ionic liquid catalysis and recovering the tail gas to prepare sodium formate. This method constitutes a resource cascade utilization system of formic acid tail gas → calcium formate → tail gas CO → sodium formate, simultaneously realizing ionic liquid separation and recycling and ethanol recovery and reuse, thus solving a number of problems in the prior art.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: (I) Calcium formate synthesis and ionic liquid catalysis: Pyridine, quaternary ammonium, or functionalized ionic liquids are selected as catalysts. Through the dual effects of cation adsorption of CO and anion-assisted OH⁻ attack, the C≡O bond energy is weakened, achieving a highly efficient carbonylation reaction under mild conditions. After the reaction, calcium formate is obtained through separation and purification, and the CO-containing tail gas generated during the reaction is collected.

[0007] The raw material is the tail gas from the formic acid plant, containing 80.70% CO, 1.44% O2, 0.43% CH4, 7.27% H2, and 10.16% N2. The Ca(OH)2 is selected as ultrafine powder or an emulsion containing PEG-400 dispersant to reduce agglomeration. Specifically, the Ca(OH)2 is ultrafine Ca(OH)2 with a particle size ≤10μm and a specific surface area ≥20m² / g. The mass concentration of the Ca(OH)2 emulsion is 15%-20%, and 0.5%-1% of a dispersant, PEG-400, is added to the emulsion. The mass ratio of the ionic liquid to Ca(OH)2 is 2:5 to 1:1.

[0008] The conditions for the carbonylation reaction are: temperature 70-140℃ and pressure 0.4-2.0MPa.

[0009] The ionic liquid is selected from one or more of pyridine-type ionic liquids, quaternary ammonium-type ionic liquids, or functionalized ionic liquids; the pyridine-type ionic liquid is at least one of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide; the quaternary ammonium-type ionic liquid is at least one of trimethylhydroxyethylammonium hydroxide and trimethylethylammonium acetate; the functionalized ionic liquid is at least one of 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxyethylimidazolium dinitrile and 1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate.

[0010] When using pyridine-type ionic liquids, the reaction temperature is 80-120℃, the reaction pressure is 0.5-1.5MPa, and the reaction time is 20-40min; when using quaternary ammonium-type ionic liquids, the reaction temperature is 100-140℃, the reaction pressure is 1.0-2.0MPa, and the reaction time is 30-50min; when using functionalized ionic liquids, the reaction temperature is 70-110℃, the reaction pressure is 0.4-1.2MPa, and the reaction time is 15-35min.

[0011] In this step, the reaction system is a jacketed 316L stainless steel autoclave with a volume of 50-100L, equipped with a frequency converter and an online pressure / temperature monitoring system. Before the reaction, the autoclave is purged with inert gas N2 to ensure that the O2 content inside the autoclave is ≤0.5%. When the viscosity of the ionic liquid is ≥500mPa·s, 5%-10% of a low-viscosity co-solvent, namely ethylene glycol dimethyl ether or N-methylpyrrolidone, is added to the reaction system. Alternatively, an ultrasonic probe with a power of 500-1000W is installed in the autoclave for ultrasonic-assisted dispersion.

[0012] (II) Ion liquid separation and recycling process The separation and recycling of the ionic liquid employs a combination of pressure filtration and vacuum distillation. After the reaction, pressure filtration at 0.3-0.5 MPa achieves rapid solid-liquid separation, avoiding ionic liquid entrainment, and yields a solid product (crude calcium formate) and a liquid phase containing the ionic liquid. The liquid phase is then subjected to vacuum distillation at 120-150℃ and 0.03-0.05 MPa to remove moisture and impurities, recovering the ionic liquid with a purity ≥99%, allowing for recycling at least 5 times with an activity decay ≤5%. The recovered ionic liquid is then recycled for the carbonylation reaction in step (I).

[0013] (III) Recovery of Ethanol Solution (1) The calcium formate solid product is washed 2-3 times with a 50%-70% ethanol solution. First, the ethanol solution has a solubility of ionic liquid ≥100g / L and a solubility of calcium formate ≤0.5g / L, achieving selective desorption; moreover, ethanol is volatile and leaves no residue, and the product dissolution loss rate is ≤0.3%, which is more suitable for industrial use than pure water or other organic solvents; the amount of washing solution used each time is 30%-50% of the mass of the solid product, the washing temperature is 20-40℃, and the ethanol washing solution after washing is collected; the washed solid product is dried at 100-120℃ to obtain the calcium formate product; (2) Ethanol recovery: The washing liquid is separated by a distillation column, with the bottom temperature controlled between 85-95℃ and the reflux ratio between 1:1 and 2:1. Ethanol is distilled off at the top temperature of 78-82℃ with a purity of ≥95%, and is then recycled for washing. The residue at the bottom of the column contains trace amounts of ionic liquid, which is incorporated into the ionic liquid distillation system for recovery to avoid catalyst loss. This process has an ethanol recovery efficiency of ≥90% and can be recycled ≥10 times, significantly reducing solvent costs.

[0014] (iv) Exhaust gas recovery and sodium formate synthesis After dust removal and dehydration pretreatment, the exhaust gas is passed through a 20%-30% NaOH aqueous solution, with a liquid-to-gas ratio of 5-10 L / m³ for the CO-containing exhaust gas to the NaOH aqueous solution. The conditions for the secondary carbonylation reaction are: reaction temperature 150-200℃, reaction pressure 2.0-3.5 MPa, reaction time 60-90 min, and stirring rate 500-600 r / min. A reducing agent of 0.5%-1% aqueous solution, namely sodium sulfite, is added to the reaction system to suppress side reactions.

[0015] The residual pressure of the exhaust gas is used for pressure replenishment. The exhaust gas pretreatment specifically includes: (1) Dust removal and demisting: using a high-efficiency filter with a filtration accuracy of ≤1μm to remove Ca(OH)2 dust and emulsion droplets carried in the exhaust gas; (2) Dehydration and drying: cooling and dehydrating to reduce the exhaust gas temperature to 10-15℃, so that the exhaust gas humidity is ≤5%; (3) Inert gas removal: when the content of inert gases such as N2 and CO2 in the exhaust gas is ≥30%, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device is used to remove inert gases, so that the CO purity is increased to 20%-30%.

[0016] After the reaction, the CO-containing tail gas is mixed with fresh CO from coal chemical source with a purity of 97% in a certain proportion and then introduced into the reaction system. The purity of CO after mixing is controlled to be ≥10%. The reaction tail gas from step (3) is recycled into the closed reaction system of step (1) to realize multiple recycling of CO with a total utilization rate of ≥99%.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention achieves a triple recycling of formic acid plant tail gas, ionic liquid, and ethanol, with ionic liquid recovery efficiency ≥95% and ethanol recovery efficiency ≥90%, eliminating resource waste and conforming to the concept of circular economy.

[0018] 2. The ionic liquid in this invention is non-volatile, the ethanol can be recycled and reused, and there is no waste gas or waste liquid emission; moreover, there is no need for additional treatment of calcium formate tail gas and ethanol waste liquid.

[0019] 3. The calcium formate and sodium formate prepared by this invention have a purity of ≥98% and ≥98% respectively, which are superior to those prepared by traditional processes.

[0020] 4. The ionic liquid recycling in this invention reduces the cost of the catalyst, and the ethanol recovery also reduces solvent consumption. Combined with the low-cost advantage of CO production from coal chemical industry, the production cost of sodium formate is reduced.

[0021] 5. The processes of ionic liquid separation, ethanol recovery, and tail gas coupling in this invention are suitable for industrial production. Detailed Implementation
