Background
The methylamine mixed gas is a generic name of a Mixture of Monomethylamine (MMA), Dimethylamine (DMA) and Trimethylamine (TMA). The monomethylamine is mainly used for pesticides, medicines, dyes, surfactants, water-gel explosives, fuels, photographic developers, gas purifiers and industrial solvents. Dimethylamine is mainly used in pesticides, medicines, rubber accelerators, fatty tertiary amines, industrial solvents (DMF), Dimethylacetamide (DMA), etc., and organic intermediates. The dosage of trimethylamine as feed additive is smaller at present, but the growing space is large. Methylamine is mainly used as an odor additive for pesticides, choline chloride, natural gas, etc. (the new progress of Yangduqin methylamine technology [ J ]. fine chemical raw materials and intermediates, 2007, (11): 8-10).
Currently, the mixed gas of methylamine is mostly obtained by a methanol ammoniation method. The research on the production process for synthesizing methylamine by a gas phase method by taking methanol and ammonia as raw materials begins in 1958, and after years of development, equilibrium type methylamine catalysts and non-equilibrium type methylamine catalysts and processes are formed. In the research process, the distribution of three components in the methylamine mixed gas can be realized by industrial parameters in the methanol ammoniation process, such as reaction temperature, contact time, proportioning ratio and the like. Therefore, the preparation and separation of three methylamine molecules need to pass through a complicated rectification section. Because of the azeotropic phenomenon among methylamine molecules, the separation process has larger energy consumption. Therefore, a simple and effective method for separating methylamine molecules is developed, and the method has important research value and potential application background.
An important industrial application of dimethylamine, the main component of methylamine mixed gas, is the preparation of N, N-dimethylformamide by carbonylation with CO. The method aims at the characteristics of methylamine mixed gas, selects a reaction way through catalysis, particularly separates trimethylamine gas with weaker reaction activity in the mixed gas with high dimethylamine gas ratio, utilizes carbonylation and transacylation and other reactions to co-produce formamide compounds, and is easy to separate the formamide compounds from unreacted trimethylamine gas because the formamide compounds are gas at normal temperature and normal pressure, and the reaction process is simple, the used catalyst is easy to prepare, has better stability and is suitable for industrial production.
