Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carbonate production, in particular to a low-energy consumption, green carbonate product production system; more specifically, to a low-energy consumption, green production system for dimethyl carbonate and ethyl methyl carbonate. Background Art

[0002] At present, the production of dimethyl carbonate DMC / ethyl methyl carbonate EMC has reliable technology source and stable raw material supply.

[0003] DMC is a low-toxic, environmentally friendly and widely used chemical raw material. It is an important organic synthesis intermediate. Its molecular structure contains carbonyl, methyl and methoxy functional groups, and it has a variety of reaction properties. It is safe, convenient, less polluting and easy to transport in production. In addition, DMC, as a raw material for lithium battery electrolyte, has received widespread attention in this field.

[0004] EMC is a high value-added chemical product that has emerged in recent years. It contains active reaction groups such as methyl, ethyl and carbonyl groups, can be used in the lithium battery industry, and has good development prospects.

[0005] A system for switching the production of DMC / EMC is currently disclosed. The technical solution is: when producing EMC, DMC is mixed with ethanol and then enters the pre-reactor through a pipeline. The upper and middle parts of the EMC reaction distillation tower are connected to the DMC feed pump through a pipeline, and the top is connected to the reflux tank through a pipeline. A part of the material at the bottom of the reflux tank returns to the DMC reaction distillation tower through a pipeline, and a part of the material goes to the high-pressure separation tower through a pipeline. The lower and middle parts of the DMC reaction distillation tower are connected to two methanol feeds through a pipeline. When producing EMC, the upper and middle parts of the EMC reaction distillation tower are connected to the DMC / ethanol pre-reactor discharge through a pipeline, and the top is connected to the reflux tank through a pipeline. A part of the material at the bottom of the reflux tank returns to the EMC reaction distillation tower through a pipeline, and a part of the material goes to the high-pressure separation tower through a pipeline, and the bottom enters the de-DMC / ethanol tower through a pipeline. This process scheme does not require the provision of a catalyst separation device.

[0006] A system for switching the production of DMC and EMC is currently disclosed, which includes (a) using a heterogeneous catalyst to catalyze the reaction of EC and methanol to produce DMC, and catalyze the reaction of DMC and ethanol to produce EMC. (b) If EC and methanol are catalyzed to react to produce DMC, DMC is separated and refined from the condensate at the top of the reaction distillation tower; methanol is separated from the bottom liquid of the tower and EG is recovered. (c) If DMC and ethanol are catalyzed to react to produce EMC, methanol is separated and recovered from the condensate at the top of the reaction distillation tower; EMC is separated and refined from the bottom liquid of the tower.

[0007] At present, the main methods for EMC synthesis are phosgene method, oxidative carbonylation method and ester exchange method.

[0008] This reaction mainly adopts the DMC and ethanol ester exchange method in the ester exchange method:

[0009] Transesterification of DMC with ethanol

[0010] CH3COCOOCH3+C2H5OH=

[0011] CH3OH+ C2H5COCOOC2H5+ CH3COCOOC2H5

[0012] The transesterification of DMC and ethanol to synthesize EMC is also a reversible reaction, and its equilibrium constant is larger than that of the transesterification of DMC and DEC to synthesize EMC. The reaction uses a fixed bed catalyst. When DMC is in an appropriate amount, EMC is mainly produced; when ethanol is in excess, ethanol will further react with EMC to produce DEC.

[0013] In the EMC synthesis method, the reactive distillation process forms three groups of azeotropes in the reaction product, which is difficult to separate and purify. The transesterification reaction is a reversible reaction. Due to the limitation of equilibrium, the yield of the target product EMC is not high.

[0014] In summary, the current DMC / EMC production processes all use homogeneous methods, which require the installation of catalyst and material separation devices; the catalyst needs to be recycled, which increases energy consumption and produces waste liquid, etc. The use of new heterogeneous catalysts, reduced production energy consumption, and the development of environmentally friendly green carbonate production can meet the trend of today's society.
