Description

アルキルベンゼン組成物およびアルキルベンゼスルホン化物の製造方法Alkylbenzene composition and method for producing alkylbenze sulfonate
 本発明は、アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物製造用のアルキルベンゼン組成物であって、該アルキルベンゼン組成物を用いて製造されたアルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の色相を改善しうるアルキルベンゼン組成物およびアルキルベンゼスルホン化物の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an alkylbenzene composition for producing an alkylbenzene sulfonated product, and relates to an alkylbenzene composition capable of improving the hue of the alkylbenzene sulfonated product produced using the alkylbenzene composition, and a method for producing an alkylbenze sulfonated product.
 洗剤範囲(C15~C20)の線状アルキルベンゼンは、ベンゼンが線状モノオレフィンにより酸触媒の存在下でアルキル化される工程を含む方法により商業的規模で製造することは知られている。一般に、このアルキルベンゼンはさらにスルホン化され、有用な界面活性剤として各種用途に使用されている。 It is known that linear alkylbenzenes in the detergent range (C15 to C20) are produced on a commercial scale by a process that includes a step in which benzene is alkylated with linear monoolefins in the presence of an acid catalyst. In general, this alkylbenzene is further sulfonated and used as a useful surfactant in various applications.
 アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の製造方法としては、例えば、アルキルベンゼンに発煙硫酸或いは過剰の濃硫酸(約4倍モル)を添加してバッチ反応方式で製造する方法や、アルキルベンゼンを、不活性ガスで希釈した三酸化硫黄によりスルホン化し、アルキルベンゼンスルホン酸を得る方法がある。また、アルキルベンゼンとアルキルベンゼンスルホン酸の共存下に、アルキルベンゼンと三酸化硫黄を等モル比で連続スルホン化し、スルホン生成等の抑制をしてアルキルベンゼンスルホン酸を得る方法も知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Examples of the method for producing the alkylbenzene sulfonated product include a method in which fuming sulfuric acid or excess concentrated sulfuric acid (about 4 times mole) is added to alkylbenzene in a batch reaction method, and trioxide obtained by diluting alkylbenzene with an inert gas. There is a method of sulfonating with sulfur to obtain alkylbenzenesulfonic acid. Also known is a method of obtaining alkylbenzene sulfonic acid by continuously sulfonating alkylbenzene and sulfur trioxide at an equimolar ratio in the presence of alkylbenzene and alkylbenzene sulfonic acid to suppress sulfone formation and the like (for example, Patent Documents). 1).
 アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の色相の改善は、従来からの課題であった。これまでにスルホン酸化物の色相を改良する方法がいくつか提案されている。特許文献2には、熱安定性及び色彩安定性が改善され、かつスラッジ及び硫酸含量が低減された、少なくとも1重量%のオレフィンを含むアルキルアリールスルホン酸が記載されている。特許文献2に記載のアルキルアリールスルホン酸は、長期保管における色相の悪化を抑制するものであるが、プロピレン及びブテンオリゴマー、例えばプロピレンのトリマーやテトラマー等のオレフィンを含有させて保管した後の出荷の際、オレフィン類を除去する必要があり、工程が複雑になるばかりか、保管設備も課題となる。 Improvement of the hue of alkylbenzene sulfonated products has been a conventional problem. Several methods for improving the hue of sulfonic oxide have been proposed so far. Patent Document 2 describes an alkylaryl sulfonic acid containing at least 1% by weight of an olefin having improved thermal stability and color stability and reduced sludge and sulfuric acid content. The alkylaryl sulfonic acid described in Patent Document 2 suppresses the deterioration of hue in long-term storage. However, it contains propylene and butene oligomers, such as propylene trimer and tetramer olefins for storage after storage. In this case, it is necessary to remove olefins, which not only complicates the process but also requires storage facilities.
 また、特許文献3には、約600~3000の数平均分子量を有する不飽和炭化水素を用いたスルホン酸処理が記載されている。しかしながら、特許文献3は、アルキルアリールスルホン酸精製における色相を改善しうると報告するが、不飽和炭化水素構造体との接触による色相改善効果についての報告をしていない。更に、特許文献3では、アルキルアリールスルホン酸から不飽和炭化水素を除去する必要がある。 Patent Document 3 describes sulfonic acid treatment using an unsaturated hydrocarbon having a number average molecular weight of about 600 to 3000. However, although patent document 3 reports that the hue in alkylaryl sulfonic acid refinement | purification can be improved, it does not report about the hue improvement effect by contact with an unsaturated hydrocarbon structure. Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, it is necessary to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons from the alkylaryl sulfonic acid.
 さらに、特許文献4には、HF(フッ化水素)を触媒としたアルキル化法により製造されたアルキルベンゼン中の微量の有機フッ化物不純物を塩基性アルミナで処理する方法が開示されている。特許文献4では、塩基性アルミナにより有機フッ化物不純物が除去できるとともに、該処理により臭素価値の上昇が抑制できること、ならびに該方法より製造されたアルキルベンゼンをスルホン化した際のスルホン化物の色相が改善されることが報告されている。しかしながら、特許文献4の臭素価レベルは、実施例内のBr価上昇値によれば0.01を超えるような非常に高い値であるとともに、スルホン化物のクレットも非常に高いものであった。 Furthermore, Patent Document 4 discloses a method of treating a small amount of organic fluoride impurities in alkylbenzene produced by an alkylation method using HF (hydrogen fluoride) as a catalyst with basic alumina. In Patent Document 4, organic fluoride impurities can be removed by basic alumina, the increase in bromine value can be suppressed by the treatment, and the hue of the sulfonated product when sulfonating the alkylbenzene produced by the method is improved. It has been reported. However, the bromine number level of Patent Document 4 is a very high value exceeding 0.01 according to the Br value increase value in the examples, and the sulfonated clets are also very high.
 さらにまた、特許文献5および6では、種々の粘土及びゼオライトにより、スルホン化前の洗剤範囲のアルキルベンゼンの着色物質前駆体が除去できることが報告されている。しかしながら、特許文献5および6では、波長368nmの光を吸収する着色物質前駆体に注目し、該着色物質前駆体が種々の粘土及びゼオライトで吸着除去できるとされているが、波長314nmの光を吸収する物質については記載も示唆もされていない。 Furthermore, Patent Documents 5 and 6 report that various clays and zeolites can remove colored substance precursors of alkylbenzene in the detergent range before sulfonation. However, Patent Documents 5 and 6 focus on a colored substance precursor that absorbs light with a wavelength of 368 nm, and it is said that the colored substance precursor can be adsorbed and removed by various clays and zeolites. There is no description or suggestion of the substance to be absorbed.
 近年、洗剤範囲(C15~C20)の線状アルキルベンゼンは、臭素価が0.01以下であることは主流であり、その中でさらに色相を良化することが強く求められている。しかしながら、上記特許文献では、臭素価が0.01以下であるアルキルベンゼンをスルホン化した際、色相に影響しうる不純物について、何ら報告されていない。 In recent years, linear alkylbenzenes in the detergent range (C15 to C20) have a bromine number of 0.01 or less, and among them, there is a strong demand for further improving the hue. However, in the above-mentioned patent document, there is no report on impurities that can affect the hue when alkylbenzene having a bromine number of 0.01 or less is sulfonated.

 すなわち、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物製造用のアルキルベンゼン組成物であって、前記アルキルベンゼン組成物は、経路長1cmの石英サンプルホルダに収容して分光分析を行なう際、測定される波長314nmのUV吸光度が2.98以下であることを特徴とする。 That is, the alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is an alkylbenzene composition for producing an alkylbenzene sulfonate, and the wavelength measured when the alkylbenzene composition is stored in a quartz sample holder having a path length of 1 cm and subjected to spectroscopic analysis. The UV absorbance at 314 nm is 2.98 or less.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記発明において、波長314nmのUV吸光度が2.69下であることを特徴とする。 The alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above invention, the UV absorbance at a wavelength of 314 nm is below 2.69.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記発明において、波長314nmのUV吸光度が2.40以下であることを特徴とする。 The alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above invention, the UV absorbance at a wavelength of 314 nm is 2.40 or less.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記発明において、C16-C19のアルキルベンゼンを95mass%以上含むことを特徴とする。 Further, the alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned invention, 95 mass% or more of C16-C19 alkylbenzene is contained.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記発明において、臭素価が0.01以下であることを特徴とする。 Further, the alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above invention, the bromine number is 0.01 or less.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記発明において、フッ素分が0.5ppm以下であることを特徴とする。 The alkylbenzene composition of the present invention is characterized in that, in the above invention, the fluorine content is 0.5 ppm or less.
 また、本発明のアルキルベンゼスルホン化物の製造方法は、上記のいずれかに記載のアルキルベンゼン組成物を硫酸根によってスルホン化することを特徴とする。 The method for producing an alkylbenze sulfonated product of the present invention is characterized in that the alkylbenzene composition described above is sulfonated by a sulfate group.
 本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物およびアルキルベンゼスルホン化物の製造方法は、特定波長のUV吸光度が特定値以下であるアルキルベンゼン組成物をスルホン化することにより、色相を改善したアルキルベンゼンスルホン酸を製造することができるという特徴を有する。微量の色相については、UV吸光度で測定する手法が取られることがあるが、スルホン化前のアルキルベンゼンの波長314nmのUV吸光度を特定の値以下にすることによって、スルホン化後の色相を抑制するということを見出したことは画期的なことである。 According to the method for producing an alkylbenzene composition and an alkylbenze sulfonated product of the present invention, an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid having an improved hue can be produced by sulfonated an alkylbenzene composition having a UV absorbance at a specific wavelength that is not more than a specific value. It has the characteristics. For a small amount of hue, a method of measuring by UV absorbance may be taken, but by suppressing the UV absorbance at a wavelength of 314 nm of alkylbenzene before sulfonation to a specific value or less, the hue after sulfonation is suppressed. The discovery of this is groundbreaking.
図1は、アルキルベンゼン組成物の314nmのUV吸光度とアルキルベンゼンスルホン化物のクレットの関係を示す図である。FIG. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between UV absorbance at 314 nm of an alkylbenzene composition and a klet of alkylbenzene sulfonate.
 以下に本発明について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
 本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の色相の改善をもたらす。また、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、着色の少ないアルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の製造を容易にする。これらの改善は、波長314nmのUV-Vis吸収の原因である低レベルの不純物を含むアルキルベンゼン組成物を選択することによって得られる。より具体的には、アルキルベンゼン組成物をUV-Vis分光計を用いて分析するとき、この波長の吸光度が2.98以下、より好ましくは2.69以下、最も好ましくは2.40以下である。 The alkylbenzene composition of the present invention improves the hue of the alkylbenzene sulfonated product. In addition, the alkylbenzene composition of the present invention facilitates the production of an alkylbenzene sulfonate having less color. These improvements are obtained by selecting an alkylbenzene composition that contains low levels of impurities responsible for UV-Vis absorption at a wavelength of 314 nm. More specifically, when the alkylbenzene composition is analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrometer, the absorbance at this wavelength is 2.98 or less, more preferably 2.69 or less, and most preferably 2.40 or less.
 314nmの波長は「1cm経路長」セル中のアルキルベンゼン組成物の生サンプルを分析するために選択した。約314nmの幾つかの波長が、1センチメートルまたはそれ以上の経路長のセルを用いるとき、有用であり得る。本明細書で論じられる波長(314nm)の吸光度は指定された波長の吸光度であり、最大ピークを伴う吸光度である必要はない。UV-Vis吸収を測定するあらゆる分析を本発明において用いることができる。 The wavelength of 314 nm was selected to analyze a raw sample of the alkylbenzene composition in the “1 cm path length” cell. Some wavelengths of about 314 nm may be useful when using cells with a path length of 1 centimeter or more. The absorbance at the wavelength (314 nm) discussed herein is the absorbance at the specified wavelength and need not be the absorbance with the maximum peak. Any analysis that measures UV-Vis absorption can be used in the present invention.
 本発明において、サンプルホルダの経路長は、用いられる分析法、装置に依存して変化し得る。しかしながら、サンプルホルダの経路長は、アルキルベンゼン組成物中の注目される不純物が検出可能であることを保証するのに十分な長さでなければならない。UV-Vis分光計は近紫外領域、典型的には、200nmから380nmで作動可能なものを使用すればよい。 In the present invention, the path length of the sample holder can vary depending on the analysis method and apparatus used. However, the path length of the sample holder must be long enough to ensure that the impurity of interest in the alkylbenzene composition is detectable. A UV-Vis spectrometer that can operate in the near ultraviolet region, typically 200 nm to 380 nm, may be used.
 「アルキルベンゼン」という用語は、本明細書で用いられる場合、C15~C20のアルキルベンゼンの混合物を指す。洗剤用途のアルキルベンゼンスルホン化物の原料となるアルキルベンゼンの商業製品は、典型的には、C16~C19の炭素範囲で95mass%以上の純度を有する。したがって、本発明のアルキルベンゼン組成物は、C16~C19の炭素範囲のアルキルベンゼンを95mass%以上含むことが好ましい。 The term “alkylbenzene” as used herein refers to a mixture of C15-C20 alkylbenzenes. Commercial products of alkylbenzenes that are the raw materials for alkylbenzene sulfonates for detergent applications typically have a purity of 95 mass% or higher in the C16 to C19 carbon range. Therefore, the alkylbenzene composition of the present invention preferably contains 95 mass% or more of alkylbenzene having a carbon range of C16 to C19.
 本発明において、アルキルベンゼン組成物は、C9~C14のノルマルパラフィンを白金触媒によって脱水素して製造されたモノオレフィンとベンゼンから、触媒を用いて製造される。触媒には、HFやゼオライト、シリカアルミナなどが使用される。HFを触媒としたアルキルベンゼンの製造方法は、Detergent Alkylationプロセスと呼ばれ、ベンゼンと線状モノオレフィンとを液体フッ化水素酸(HF)の存在下でアルキル化するものである。他方、ゼオライトを触媒としたアルキルベンゼンの製造方法は、Detalプロセスと呼ばれ、ベンゼンと線状モノオレフィンとを固体触媒であるゼオライトの存在下でアルキル化するものである。アルキルベンゼンの製造方法は種々の方法があるが、本発明においてアルキルベンゼン組成物の製造方法はそれらに限定されるものではない。 In the present invention, the alkylbenzene composition is produced from a monoolefin produced by dehydrogenating a C9 to C14 normal paraffin with a platinum catalyst and benzene, using a catalyst. As the catalyst, HF, zeolite, silica alumina, or the like is used. The method for producing alkylbenzene using HF as a catalyst is called a Detergent Alkylation process, in which benzene and linear monoolefin are alkylated in the presence of liquid hydrofluoric acid (HF). On the other hand, a method for producing alkylbenzene using a zeolite as a catalyst is called a “Detal process” in which benzene and a linear monoolefin are alkylated in the presence of zeolite as a solid catalyst. There are various methods for producing alkylbenzene, but the method for producing an alkylbenzene composition in the present invention is not limited thereto.
 通常、HFを触媒としたアルキルベンゼンの製造においては、アルキルベンゼン中に微量に混入するフッ素分はアルキルベンゼンの品質を悪化させることから、後段で固体アルミナ吸着剤によって処理され、少なくとも0.5ppm以下となる。
 固体アルミナ吸着剤としては、有機物の吸着用に使用される活性アルミナなどを例示することができる。これらは適宜のバインダーを用いて成型したものでもよい。フッ素分を吸着できるものであれば、アルミナに適宜アルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属またはその他の金属を、酸化物、水酸化物あるいはその他の形態で含浸あるいはその他の方法により適宜担持させて変性したものを用いることもできる。しかしながら、通常は、特にこのような担持・変性は必要なく、ナトリウム等のアルカリ金属またはアルカリ土類金属の含有量が0.5重量%以下のアルミナが用いられる。
Usually, in the production of alkylbenzene using HF as a catalyst, fluorine contained in a trace amount in the alkylbenzene deteriorates the quality of the alkylbenzene, so that it is treated with a solid alumina adsorbent at a later stage and becomes at least 0.5 ppm or less.
Examples of the solid alumina adsorbent include activated alumina used for organic substance adsorption. These may be molded using an appropriate binder. As long as it can adsorb fluorine, it can be modified by suitably impregnating alumina with alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or other metal in an oxide, hydroxide or other form or by appropriately supporting it by other methods. Can also be used. However, usually, such loading / modification is not particularly necessary, and alumina having an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal content such as sodium of 0.5% by weight or less is used.
 また、アルキルベンゼンの製法では、モノオレフィンとベンゼンにより反応を行うため、アルキルベンゼン中に微量のオレフィン成分が混入する。これらはアルキルベンゼンの品質を悪化させるため、通常は後段で活性白土などの吸着剤によって処理され、低減される。これらの不純物の混入量は臭素価を測定することで把握することができる。臭素価は0.01以下が好ましく、さらには0.005以下が好ましく、より好ましくは0.001以下である。 Also, in the process for producing alkylbenzene, since a reaction is carried out with monoolefin and benzene, a trace amount of olefin component is mixed in alkylbenzene. Since these deteriorate the quality of alkylbenzene, they are usually treated and reduced by an adsorbent such as activated clay in the subsequent stage. The mixing amount of these impurities can be grasped by measuring the bromine number. The bromine number is preferably 0.01 or less, more preferably 0.005 or less, and still more preferably 0.001 or less.
 「アルキルベンゼンスルホン化物」という用語は、本明細書で用いられる場合、C15~C20のアルキルベンゼン組成物を硫酸根によってスルホン化したものを指す。 The term “alkylbenzene sulfonated product” as used herein refers to a C15 to C20 alkylbenzene composition sulfonated with sulfate radicals.
 「アルキルベンゼンの生サンプル」という用語は、本明細書で用いられる場合、アルキルベンゼンの化学合成、および合成されたアルキルベンゼンの引き続く精製(単数または複数)から形成され、化学合成および/または精製(単数または複数)から生じたものではない、いかなる追加人工化学物質(単数または複数)も含まない、化学製品(アルキルベンゼン)を指す。 The term “raw sample of alkylbenzene” as used herein is formed from chemical synthesis of alkylbenzene and subsequent purification (s) of the synthesized alkylbenzene, and chemical synthesis and / or purification (s). ) Refers to a chemical product (alkylbenzene) that does not contain any additional artificial chemical (s) that are not derived from.
 「不純物」という用語は、本明細書で用いられる場合、UV-Vis吸収スペクトルを参照する際、アルキルベンゼンと化学的に等価ではないが、波長314nmにUV吸収を有する1またはそれ以上の化合物を指す。本発明者らは、これらの不純物が、無機化合物と接触させて精製するか、蒸留により除去することができることを見出した。 The term “impurity” as used herein refers to one or more compounds that are not chemically equivalent to alkylbenzenes when referring to UV-Vis absorption spectra, but have UV absorption at a wavelength of 314 nm. . The inventors have found that these impurities can be purified by contact with an inorganic compound or removed by distillation.
(蒸留)
 本発明に係る精製されたアルキルベンゼン組成物は、上記微量の不純物を含むアルキルベンゼン組成物を任意の圧力下で、熱的に蒸留し、314nmのUV吸光度が2.98以下まで精製されたものであってもよい。
(distillation)
The purified alkylbenzene composition according to the present invention is a product obtained by thermally distilling the alkylbenzene composition containing the above-mentioned trace amount of impurities under an arbitrary pressure and purifying the UV absorbance at 314 nm to 2.98 or less. May be.

(Adsorbent contact treatment)
The purified alkylbenzene composition according to the present invention may have been purified to have a UV absorbance at 314 nm of 2.98 or less by an adsorbent contact treatment in which the alkylbenzene containing the trace amount of impurities and the adsorbent are brought into contact with each other. Good.
 吸着剤接触処理は、例えば上記微量の不純物を含むアルキルベンゼン組成物と、アルミナ(Al)、活性白土、シリカ、ゼオライト等の吸着剤とを接触させることにより行われる。波長314nmにUV吸収を有する1またはそれ以上の化合物の除去に使用するアルミナおよび活性白土は、HFおよびオレフィン除去用のアルミナおよび活性白土を使用することができる。 The adsorbent contact treatment is performed, for example, by bringing the alkylbenzene composition containing the above-mentioned trace amount of impurities into contact with an adsorbent such as alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), activated clay, silica, or zeolite. As the alumina and activated clay used for removing one or more compounds having UV absorption at a wavelength of 314 nm, alumina and activated clay for removing HF and olefin can be used.
 ここで用いられる吸着剤の粒径は、通常1~10mm、好ましくは2~4mmの範囲にあり、比表面積は、通常50~500m/g、好ましくは200~500m/gの範囲にある。 The particle size of the adsorbent used here is usually in the range of 1 to 10 mm, preferably 2 to 4 mm, and the specific surface area is usually in the range of 50 to 500 m 2 / g, preferably 200 to 500 m 2 / g. .
 上記微量の不純物を含むアルキルベンゼン組成物と吸着剤とを接触させた後は、例えば濾過する、または吸着剤を沈降させ上澄みを採取する、などの方法によりアルキルベンゼン組成物と吸着剤とを分離することができる。 After contacting the adsorbent with the alkylbenzene composition containing the above-mentioned trace amount of impurities, the alkylbenzene composition and the adsorbent are separated by a method such as filtration or sedimentation of the adsorbent and collecting the supernatant. Can do.
 上記蒸留処理、および/または上記吸着剤接触処理を行って得られた、波長314nmのUV吸光度が2.98以下まで精製されたアルキルベンゼン組成物は、これをアルキルベンゼンスルホン化物用の原料として用いると、市販のアルキルベンゼンをそのまま用いるよりも着色が少なく品質に優れる。これは、市販のアルキルベンゼンに含まれる、スルホン化時の着色に影響を与える不純物を除去できるためであると考えられる。 When the alkylbenzene composition purified to have a UV absorbance at a wavelength of 314 nm of 2.98 or less obtained by performing the distillation treatment and / or the adsorbent contact treatment is used as a raw material for the alkylbenzene sulfonated product, Compared to using commercially available alkylbenzene as it is, it is less colored and excellent in quality. This is presumably because impurities contained in commercially available alkylbenzene that affect the coloration during sulfonation can be removed.
