Background
Ethylene glycol (ethylene glycol) is also known as "glycol" or "1, 2-ethylene glycol", abbreviated as EG. Has a chemical formula of (CH)2OH)2Is the simplest diol. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet liquid that is toxic to animals and is lethal to humans at a dose of about 1.6 g/kg. Ethylene glycol is miscible with water and acetone, but has low solubility in ethers. Used as solvent, antifreezing agent and raw material for synthesizing terylene. Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a high polymer of ethylene glycol, is a phase transfer catalyst and is also used for cell fusion; the nitrate is an explosive.
Currently, the ethylene glycol preparation method includes the following methods:
(1) the chlorohydrin method is to hydrolyze chloroethanol as a raw material in an alkaline medium to obtain ethylene glycol, and the reaction is carried out at 100 ℃.
(2) The ethylene oxide hydration method includes direct hydration method and catalytic hydration method, and the hydration process can be carried out under normal pressure or under pressure. The normal pressure hydration method generally adopts a small amount of inorganic acid as a catalyst to carry out reaction at 50-70 ℃. The direct hydration method of ethylene oxide is a mature production method for producing glycol in industrial scale at present. Ethylene oxide and water are directly hydrated in liquid phase in a tubular reactor under the conditions of pressurization (2.23MPa) and 200 ℃ at 190 ℃whileby-products of diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol are produced. Wherein the molar ratio of ethylene oxide to water in the pressurized hydration process is higher, above 1:6, to reduce side reactions to ether, which reactions are carried out at a temperature of 150 ℃ and a pressure of 147kPa to hydrate to ethylene glycol.
(3) The gas-phase catalytic hydration method takes silver oxide as a catalyst and alumina as a carrier to react at 150-240 ℃ to generate glycol.
(4) Direct hydration of ethylene in a catalyst (e.g. antimony oxide TeO)2Palladium catalyst) in acetic acid solution to generate monoacetate or diacetate, and further hydrolyzing to obtain glycol.
(5) The ethylene oxide and water are subjected to hydration reaction under the action of a sulfuric acid catalyst, and the reaction liquid is subjected to alkali neutralization, evaporation and rectification to obtain a finished product. Or ethylene oxide and water are used to prepare ethylene glycol at a certain temperature and pressure, and diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol are byproducts. The reaction liquid is evaporated, concentrated, dehydrated and refined to obtain qualified products and byproducts.
(6) The formaldehyde process.
(7) Using industrial ethylene glycol as a raw material, distilling under reduced pressure, and collecting middle distillate under 1333 Pa.
(8) The ethylene glycol was vacuum distilled and the resulting main fraction was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate for a long time and then vacuum distilled again using a good fractionating column.
(9) The potential process routes of preparing ethylene glycol by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate and preparing ethylene glycol by coal can be divided into a direct synthesis method and an indirect synthesis method. The direct synthesis method is to synthesize CO and H in the synthesis gas2Synthesizing into glycol in one step. The indirect synthesis method is mainly divided into methanol formaldehyde and oxalate as intermediate products, and then ethylene glycol is obtained by hydrogenation. In contrast, the research on the synthesis of the methanol-formaldehyde route is not deep and is far from industrialization; the oxalate hydrogenation synthesis method has strong practicability and is suitable for industrial production.
