Description

Production method of dimethyl carbonate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fine chemical production, in particular to a production method of dimethyl carbonate.
Background
The molecular structure of the dimethyl carbonate contains organic chemical functional groups such as methyl, methoxy, carbonyl and the like, has active chemical properties, and can react with various organic compounds such as methylation, carbonylation, methyl esterification, ester exchange and the like. Meanwhile, the stone has low toxicity and safe use, meets the requirements of clean production and environmental protection, and becomes a new stone for modern organic synthesis.
At the end of the last century, countries around the world have come to recognize the prospects and markets for the industrial application of dimethyl carbonate and have developed relevant research efforts. Among them, the research on the synthetic route of dimethyl carbonate is first conducted in the united states and japan, and the synthetic technical route of dimethyl carbonate is developed in the direction of simplification, non-toxicity and non-pollution, and a great breakthrough is made. At present, the synthesis process of dimethyl carbonate is gradually mature after being replaced by several generations. The traditional phosgene synthesis method is eliminated due to pollution and danger, the methanol oxidation carbonylation method is gradually abandoned due to the fact that the traditional phosgene synthesis method cannot follow the development step of the market, and a new synthesis technology, namely a urea alcoholysis method, is gradually accepted by the market due to the advantages of no toxicity, low pollution, high production condition safety coefficient and the like exhibited by the urea alcoholysis method.
The urea alcoholysis method is also the key direction for researching the synthesis of the dimethyl carbonate in various countries at the present stage. Chinese patent CN1280254C discloses a method for synthesizing dimethyl carbonate by alcoholysis of methanol and urea, which uses methanol and urea as raw materials and amine salt type ionic liquid as a catalyst, and adopts an intermittent reaction to synthesize the dimethyl carbonate. Chinese patent CN1903828A discloses a process for producing dimethyl carbonate by urea alcoholysis, which further optimizes the reaction and separation conditions. Chinese patents CN100395019C and CN113385207A both propose supported catalysts for synthesizing dimethyl carbonate from urea and methanol, and achieve better catalytic performance through the combination of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, auxiliaries and molecular sieves. Chinese patent CN103980124B optimizes the method for synthesizing dimethyl carbonate by using ionic liquid to catalyze propylene carbonate. The method for preparing the dimethyl carbonate adopts a one-step synthesis method, mainly focuses on the updating preparation of the catalyst used in the reaction process, and the production mode is intermittent production, so that the technical problems of low yield, low production efficiency and the like exist, and the further expansion of the production scale and the efficiency are restricted.
Chinese patent CN106083585B discloses a method for preparing dimethyl carbonate by indirect alcoholysis; and (3) carrying out alcoholysis by adopting a two-step method, separating the intermediate product propylene carbonate after the first-stage alcoholysis, and carrying out second-stage alcoholysis on the intermediate product and methanol. In the preparation method, the catalysts, reaction equipment and reaction conditions required by the two-step alcoholysis are different; and the first-stage alcoholysis needs to be carried out under the vacuum condition, the production condition is harsh, the required production equipment is complex, the continuous production cannot be realized, and the production efficiency is low.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at solving the technical problem of low production efficiency of the method for preparing the dimethyl carbonate by two-step alcoholysis; the invention provides a method for producing dimethyl carbonate, which can realize continuous production; the production method uses a urea two-step alcoholysis method, produces the dimethyl carbonate by a continuous feeding and continuous discharging mode, and has high production efficiency. The production efficiency refers to the amount of the target product (dimethyl carbonate) produced in unit time.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a method for producing dimethyl carbonate comprises the following steps:
(1) in the presence of a catalyst, into a reaction vessel:
continuously adding urea; the mass flow rate of urea and the volume ratio of the reaction container are as follows: 200-300 kg/h: 2m3
Adding dihydric alcohol, stirring, and performing reflux reaction; the flow rate of the dihydric alcohol is 1.4 to 1.6 times of the mass flow rate of the urea, and the adding time of the dihydric alcohol is 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes;
after the addition of the dihydric alcohol is stopped, adding methanol solution of sodium methoxide, stirring, and carrying out reflux reaction; when the mass of the sodium methoxide in the reaction liquid is 1-2% of the mass of the urea, stopping adding the methanol liquid of the sodium methoxide and stopping the reflux reaction; the mass content of sodium methoxide in the methanol solution of sodium methoxide is 1-3%, and the flow rate of the methanol solution of sodium methoxide is 1-1.2 times of the mass flow rate of urea;
after the addition of the methanol solution of sodium methoxide is stopped, continuously adding methanol, stirring and collecting steam; the flow rate of the methanol is 1 to 1.2 times of the mass flow rate of the urea;
controlling the temperature of the reaction liquid in the reaction container to be 130-150 ℃ in the whole process of the step (1);
(2) separating ammonia gas and methanol in the steam to obtain the dimethyl carbonate.
The production method adopts a two-step alcoholysis method, urea and methanol are used as raw materials, and dihydric alcohol is used as a reaction participant; alcoholysis in the first step: reacting urea with dihydric alcohol to generate cyclic carbonate, and performing alcoholysis in the second step: the cyclic carbonate reacts with methanol to produce dimethyl carbonate and diol. The reaction formula takes 1, 2-propylene glycol as an example of a reaction participant, and comprises the following steps:
Figure RE-GDA0003506583750000021
the catalyst can adopt any one catalyst disclosed in the prior art for preparing dimethyl carbonate by a two-step alcoholysis method; for example, the supported catalyst of magnesium oxide, the carrier material is silicon dioxide, and the mass content of magnesium oxide in the catalyst is 10-15%; the amount of the catalyst is 0.1 time of the mass of the added urea per hour.
The urea mass flow, i.e. the mass of urea added per hour, was determined by the inventors through several laboratory experiments and production tests; the specific urea mass flow is a necessary condition for realizing continuous feeding, continuous production and high production efficiency. The urea mass flow provided by the invention can realize continuous feeding and continuous production, and can obtain high production efficiency. The volume of the reaction kettle is 2m3For example, the mass flow rate of the urea is controlled to be about 200-300kg/h, and high production efficiency can be obtained.
The specific addition of the reaction participant diol is also a necessary condition for realizing continuous feeding, continuous production and high production efficiency. The present invention limits the amount of glycol added by limiting the duration of glycol addition. Experimental research proves that the problems of incapability of continuous feeding (further incapability of continuous production) and/or reduction of production efficiency can be caused by excessive or insufficient addition of the dihydric alcohol. Possible reasons are: the production method of the invention needs the whole reaction system to be in dynamic balance, and the change of the dosage of any raw material (concentration in the reaction solution) can cause the change of the dynamic balance, so that the balance is continuously shifted to the right or to the left, which causes the incapability of continuously feeding or continuously discharging, and the incapability of realizing continuous production, thereby affecting the production efficiency. Preferably, the flow rate of the dihydric alcohol is 1.5 to 1.52 times of the mass flow rate of the urea; the addition time of the glycol was 1.5 h. Under the condition, the production efficiency is higher.
The glycol may be ethylene glycol or 1, 2-propylene glycol. 1, 2-propylene glycol is preferred because the ethylene glycol can generate 2-oxazolidinone as an impurity in the actual production process, the 2-oxazolidinone is enriched in a reaction kettle, and the cyclic utilization of dihydric alcohol is not utilized.
The sodium methoxide acts as a catalyst for the second alcoholysis step. The amount of the catalyst needs to be strictly limited, and on one hand, the amount needs to achieve the catalytic activation; on the other hand, due to the activity and chemical danger of sodium methoxide itself, too high a content may result in locally violent reactions, which may be dangerous. Therefore, through repeated experimental studies, the amount of sodium methoxide in the reaction system is limited to 1-2% of the mass of urea.
In order to further increase the reaction rate to obtain high production efficiency, it is preferable to use an auxiliary in combination with the catalyst. The auxiliary agent is dodecyl dimethyl tertiary amine, and the dosage of the auxiliary agent is 0.1 time of that of the catalyst.
The temperature of the reaction solution is preferably 130-134 ℃; under the temperature condition, high production efficiency can be obtained, and energy waste can not be caused.
In the step (2), the steam is a mixture of ammonia gas, gaseous methanol and gaseous dimethyl carbonate. The following separation methods may be employed: condensing the steam to 0-5 ℃, and respectively collecting gaseous substances and liquid substances; washing the liquid substance with water, separating to obtain an organic phase and a water phase, drying the organic phase with anhydrous calcium chloride to obtain dimethyl carbonate, and rectifying the water phase and drying the anhydrous calcium chloride to obtain methanol.
In addition, it should be noted that the absence of water in the reaction vessel should be ensured throughout step (1).
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention provides a method for producing dimethyl carbonate, which uses a urea two-step alcoholysis method, takes urea and methanol as raw materials, takes 1, 2-propylene glycol as a reactant of the first-step alcoholysis of urea, and produces the dimethyl carbonate by a continuous feeding and continuous discharging mode. According to the method, the dynamic balance of the whole reaction system can be maintained under the condition of keeping continuous feeding by controlling the material feeding speed, the feeding amount ratio and the reaction time of the reaction participants and the urea, so that continuous feeding production is realized; on the other hand, the method promotes the equilibrium of the alcoholysis reaction of the first step to the right by continuously adding methanol into the reaction liquid after the alcoholysis of the first step and separating the alcoholysis product of the second step, so that the next reaction can be carried out completely without the alcoholysis of the first step, the working hours are shortened, the cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. The invention realizes continuous production, has high equipment utilization rate and reduced cost compared with the traditional batch kettle type production, and is beneficial to industrial popularization.
