Ethylene glycol (EG) is a kind of important petrochemical complex basic organic material, and it can be mixed with arbitrary proportion and water, and boiling point height, zero pour are low.Be mainly used in and produce trevira, frostproofer, unsaturated polyester resin, lubricant, softening agent, nonionogenic tenside and explosive etc., can be used for industries such as coating, soup, brake fluid and printing ink in addition, solvent and medium as ammonium pertorate, be used to produce special solvent glycol ether etc., purposes is very extensive.
At present, the suitability for industrialized production of domestic and international large-scale ethylene glycol all adopts the operational path of oxyethane direct hydration method, promptly earlier through the petroleum path synthesizing ethylene, reoxidizes ethylene production oxyethane, obtains EG by oxyethane on-catalytic hydration reaction at last.Production technology is monopolized by Dutch Shell, U.S. Halcon-SD and U.S. UCC three companies basically.The economic benefit of this production technique is owing to be subjected to the restriction of oil price, and it is bigger to fluctuate.In order to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming and to reduce production costs, since the seventies in 20th century, having begun green route gradually is the C of raw material with matchmaker, Sweet natural gas or heavy wet goods low-cost resource promptly 1Chemical research becomes the eighties of heat subject in the world.Wherein from synthetic gas, at first by CO gas-phase catalytic coupling synthesis of oxalate, barkite shortening is again produced ethylene glycol, with its raw material sources extensively and numerous advantages such as cheap, Technological Economy height, and enjoys attention.
Adopt the technology of producing ethylene glycol from hydrogenation of oxalic ester can be divided into based on the liquid phase homogeneous hydrogenation method of noble metal catalysts such as Ru with based on the heterogeneous gas phase or the liquid-phase hydrogenatin method of copper-based catalysts.Wherein, homogeneous phase liquid-phase hydrogenatin need under high pressure be carried out, and speed of reaction is slow, and product separation reclaims difficulty, there are shortcomings such as selectivity is low in the heterogeneous liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation of loading type, has better conversion rate and selectivity and adopt loaded catalyst to carry out gas phase hydrogenation.External many companies have done research to this technology, and be oneself the barkite hydrogenation catalyst and the technology application patent.Surplus emerging product of Japan beginning of the eighties, a large amount of research has been carried out in the application in hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol reacts to copper base chromium-free catalyst.Wherein clear 57-122946, clear 57-123127, clear 57-180432, clear 57-122938, clear 57-122941 has delivered about the catalyzer based on copper, has investigated carrier (Al 2O 3, SiO 2, La 2O 3Deng), auxiliary agent (K, Zn, Ag, Mo, Ba etc.), preparation method etc. are to catalyst activity and optionally influence.The mid-80, ARCO company disclosed the Cu-Cr catalyzer that is used for barkite gas phase hydrogenation preparing ethylene glycol at U.S. Pat P4677234 in 1986, and sulfur impurity, iron level in catalyzer and the raw material defined made strict regulation, requirement is below 4ppm, obtained the ethylene glycol of 95% yield under about 30atm pressure, the long running time of this catalyzer is 466h.In the same year, surplus emerging product and UCC unite in the 309th~321 page of 1987 the 31st volume of document " Applied Catalysis " and have reported the Cu/SiO that adopts cupric ammine complex and preparation of silica gel 2Catalyzer is under 215 ℃, 0.3MPa pressure, and the yield of ethylene glycol is up to 97.2%.1994 Nian Ange companies have reported oxide compound and a small amount of Al of Cu-Zn in patent USP5345005 2O 3Catalyzer, also obtained good effect.
Domestic to barkite hydrogenation research more mainly contain University Of Tianjin's carbon one chemical engineering experiment chamber, East China University of Science and Fujian Inst. of Matter Structure, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fujian thing structure since the research of just relevant CO catalytically synthesizing glycol of nineteen eighty-two, be that domestic progress is fast, scale greatly, one of the unit of the most fruitful research.They have reported that raw materials such as employing cupric nitrate, chromic trioxide, silicon ester, ammoniacal liquor are equipped with loading type Cu-Cr catalyzer with coprecipitation method and gel-sol legal system in the 24th~27 page of document " Industrial Catalysis " 1996 4 phase of ground, be that 2.5~3.0Mpa, temperature are that 208~230 ℃, LHSV are 0.1~0.5h at pressure -1, the gas ester is than being under 40~60 the condition, running 1134h, the oxalic acid diethyl ester average conversion is 99.8%, the average selectivity of ethylene glycol is 95.3%.University Of Tianjin adopts Cu/SiO 2Catalyzer, to 200~250 ℃, below the 3.0MPa, hydrogen ester is than 30~100, liquid hourly space velocity 0.1875~1.815h -1Study in the scope, its optimum is an oxalic acid diethyl ester transformation efficiency 95%, ethylene glycol yield about 80%.East China University of Science adopts Cu/SiO 2Catalyzer is also studied preparation of ethanediol by dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation, and top condition is that 210~220 ℃ of temperature of reaction, reaction pressure are that 2.5MPa, hydrogen ester ratio are 60, liquid hourly space velocity 0.65h -1
The technology of being reported in above-mentioned patent or the document mainly concentrates on the catalyzer and the technical study of preparing glycol by hydrogenating oxalate, has the problem of the poor stability of catalyzer, and the reactor types that is adopted is not appeared in the newspapers.And reactor is as one of nucleus equipment of producing ethylene glycol from hydrogenation of oxalic ester industrial installation, and its performance quality directly influences the utilization ratio of reaction effect, catalyzer and the quality of product.
As everyone knows, hydrogenation reaction is thermopositive reaction, and the reaction of producing ethylene glycol from hydrogenation of oxalic ester is no exception equally.For exothermic catalytic reaction, along with the carrying out of reaction process, the reaction heat of constantly emitting can make reaction bed temperature improve, and the inactivation of the inevitable accelerator activator of too high local temperature rise, influences the utilising efficiency of reaction effect and reactor.In order to improve the efficient of reactor, need shift out reaction heat to reduce temperature of reaction.In industrial reactor, once widely use a kind of be that the cold shock of multistage unstripped gas reduces temperature of reaction, this reactor has also reduced reactant concn during because of the unstripped gas cold shock when reducing temperature of reactor, influenced reaction efficiency.Therefore various improved forms have appearred, disclose a kind of heterogeneous synthetic improving one's methods and reactor as Chinese patent CN1030878, but this reactor is not promptly eliminated the cold shock raw material fully and indirect heat exchanger is established in the influence of reactant concn is again made the device structure complexity in bed.Another kind is as disclosed shell and tube reactor among the patent DE2123950, unstripped gas enters from the top inlet mouth and is distributed in each tubulation, with the catalyzer contact reacts in the tubulation, lateral inflow between tubulation, reaction heat is moved heat continuously by the outer boiled water of tubulation, produce steam and gone out by the side pipe, reaction gas goes out reactor by the bottom escape pipe.Though have a narrow range of temperature in this reactor, the catalyst loading coefficient is little, there is serious wall effect in the reactor catalyst bed, influences the space-time yield of catalyzer, and the difficulty that maximizes.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the reactor inside diameter that exists in the conventional art is big to the temperature difference, easily cause catalyzer temperature runaway, inactivation and the low problem of purpose glycol product selectivity, a kind of new method with preparing ethylene glycol from oxalic ester is provided, this method has reactor inside diameter to having a narrow range of temperature, barkite transformation efficiency height, glycol selectivity is good, characteristics such as energy efficient.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention adopts technical scheme as follows: a kind of method with preparing ethylene glycol from oxalic ester, with barkite and hydrogen is raw material, the mol ratio of hydrogen and barkite is 40~200: 1, Fatty Alcohol(C12-C14 and C12-C18) with 1~4 carbon is a solvent, the weight percent of solvent and raw material medium-height grass acid esters is 0~0.9: 1, with at least a in barkite, hydrogen or the solvent is heat-eliminating medium, in temperature is 160 ℃~280 ℃, pressure is 1.0~6.0MPa, is that the weight space velocity of benchmark is 0.1~10h with the mixture weight of barkite and solvent -1Hydrogen/ester mol ratio is under 40~200: 1 the condition, pass through in the tubulation of heat-eliminating medium in the calandria type fixed bed reactor, beds is positioned at outside the tubulation, enter in the reactor behind heat-eliminating medium and fresh feed and the solvent mixture uniform mixing, the copper containing catalyst contact reacts outer with tubulation generates ethylene glycol, and wherein the flow direction of the flow direction of heat-eliminating medium and raw material and solvent mixture shows the same direction or opposite directions, the weight percentage of barkite 〉=10%.
In the technique scheme, the operational condition of reactor is: temperature of reaction is 180~260 ℃, is that the weight space velocity of benchmark is 0.1~6h with the mixture weight of barkite and solvent -1, hydrogen/ester mol ratio is 60~180: 1, and reaction pressure is 1.5~6.0MPa, and the weight percentage of barkite is 10~100%.When barkite was dimethyl oxalate, solvent was a methyl alcohol.When barkite was oxalic acid diethyl ester, solvent was an ethanol.Copper containing catalyst is with silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, at least a in the molecular sieve is carrier, active ingredient is selected from metallic copper, the oxide compound of copper or its mixture, auxiliary agent is selected from zinc, barium, magnesium, at least a in the oxide compound of manganese or chromium metal or its metal, with the carrier is benchmark, weight in elemental copper, be selected from metallic copper, the oxide compound of copper or the consumption of its mixture are that weight content is 5%~50%, preferable range is 10%~40%, weight in the auxiliary agent elemental metals, the consumption that is selected from the oxide compound of promoter metal or promoter metal is that weight content is 0.05~15%, and preferable range is 0.1%~10%.Copper containing catalyst is carrier with the silicon oxide, active ingredient is selected from the oxide compound of copper, auxiliary agent is selected from least a in the oxide compound of the oxide compound of oxide compound, barium of zinc or chromium, with the carrier is benchmark, and in the weight of elemental copper, the consumption that is selected from the oxide compound of copper is that weight content is 10%~35%, preferable range is 15%~30%, in the weight of auxiliary agent elemental metals, the consumption that is selected from the oxide compound of promoter metal is that weight content is 0.1~5%, and preferable range is 0.5%~5%.
As everyone knows, hydrogenation reaction is thermopositive reaction, and the reaction of producing ethylene glycol from hydrogenation of oxalic ester is no exception equally.Studies show that in a large number, the major cause of barkite hydrogenation catalyst inactivation is catalyst junction carbon and active ingredient grain growth sintering, and the concentrated heat release of hydrogenation process can cause the higher temperature rise of catalyzer, especially the temperature of catalyst active center may exceed catalyzer apparent tens the degree in addition more than 100 ℃, and too high local temperature rise is very fatal to the influence of catalyst life, not only can aggravate catalyzer green coke process greatly, and can quicken growing up of crystal grain greatly, thereby the inactivation of accelerator activator, shorten stable period.Research also shows, for oxalate hydrogenation, is typical cascade reaction, at first the barkite hydrogenation generates the intermediate product ethyl glycolate, the ethyl glycolate repeated hydrogenation generates ethylene glycol, and the ethylene glycol excessive hydrogenation then generates by product ethanol, and high temperature helps the carrying out of side reaction.In addition, being usually used in the multistage cold shock formula fixed-bed reactor of exothermic catalytic reaction and shell and tube reactor is used for this oxalate hydrogenation and all has certain shortcoming, the former is owing to also reduced reactant concn during the unstripped gas cold shock when reducing temperature of reactor, influenced reaction efficiency, thereby must influence the selectivity of the transformation efficiency and the ethylene glycol of barkite, (the tubulation diameter is generally 25~50mm) and the latter is owing to tubulation is thin, catalyzer is contained in the tubulation, exist the packing factor of catalyzer little, there is serious wall effect in the reactor catalyst bed, influence the shortcoming of the space-time yield of catalyzer, thereby when being used for oxalate hydrogenation, must influence the selectivity of the transformation efficiency and the ethylene glycol of barkite, and this reactor maximizes difficult.The new method that the present invention proposes with preparing ethylene glycol from oxalic ester; taken into full account the heat effect of oxalate hydrogenation; on the one hand; by heat exchanging pipe is set in reactor; logical heat-eliminating medium in the heat exchanging pipe; heat exchanging pipe is adorned the scheme of catalyzer outward; not only increased the packing factor of catalyst in reactor; and realized in time removing when reaction liberated heat; reduced the operation temperature rise of reactor; avoided the heat release of hydrogenation concentrations to cause the too high problem that easily causes catalyzer temperature runaway and inactivation of local temperature rise in the beds; guaranteed optimal reaction temperature; optimize the operation operating mode of hydrogenation reaction, effectively protected the reactivity worth of catalyzer, can reach the stable period of maximized prolongation catalyzer; and the transformation efficiency of raising barkite and the optionally purpose of purpose glycol product; on the other hand, remove reaction heat as heat-eliminating medium, saved investment and the energy consumption of advancing the reactor interchanger by adopting unstripped gas.
