Abstract

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of glycol esters from glycol ethers and carboxylic acids in the presence of a strong acid cation exchange resin. The catalytic reaction is carried out in a first reactive distillation column at a pressure of 10 to 700 mbar, the temperature being maintained at 50 to 150 ℃. The reaction in the reactive distillation column separates the glycol ester and unreacted reactants. The glycol esters are withdrawn through the lower portion of the distillation column, and the unreacted reactants are directed to a second distillation column from which they are reused as a feedstock. The use of a solid catalyst does not require a procedure to separate the catalyst from the reaction. The use of a reactive distillation column to separate the product increases the conversion of glycol ether without being limited by the equilibrium in the first distillation column, greatly improving the productivity of glycol esters.

Description

Utilize the reactive distillation process to prepare the method for binary alcohol esters
Putting it briefly the present invention relates to utilize the reactive distillation process to prepare the method for binary alcohol esters (glycol ester), more particularly the present invention relates to prepare binary alcohol esters with strong-acid cation-exchange resin by glycol ether (glycol ether) and carboxylic acid.
Usually, glycol ether has very wide range of application as a kind of solvent.At paint, printing ink, tackiness agent, there are many application in aspects such as clean-out system.This useful solvent obtains by making glycol ether and carboxylic acid reaction and purified product.Extensive studies has been carried out in this reaction and purifying.
In U.S. Patent No. 2,618, in 973, glycol ether and carboxylic acid carry out addition reaction and obtain binary alcohol esters under the condition that Phenylsulfonic acid exists, and this binary alcohol esters is purified by a kind of azeotropic solvent hexanaphthene then.Because need product and used catalyst separating, and this azeotropic solvent of will purifying, so this method is very complicated.
U.S. Patent No. 5,202,463 have disclosed a kind of application of azeotropic solvent in purifying glycol ether and the resulting product of carboxylic acid reaction that is defined as methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) (MIBK).
As mentioned above, use catalyzer (such as Phenylsulfonic acid) and azeotropic solvent to come to prepare the last handling process of binary alcohol esters requirement such as separating catalyst and azeotropic solvent from glycol ether and carboxylic acid.In addition, their use makes reaction process be difficult to operation, and can make reactant (glycol ether and carboxylic acid) and product (binary alcohol esters) loss.
The inventor has carried out research extensively and profoundly repeatedly to the preparation of binary alcohol esters, purpose is to use and a kind ofly is easy to handle and industrial favourable solid acid improves the turnover ratio of glycol ether, the strong acid cation resin that discovery has a polystyrene skeleton has very catalytic activity for the reaction between glycol ether and the carboxylic acid, and is easy to separate from reactive system.Reaction that also find to use reactive distillation tower that this catalyzer is housed can order about consumingly between glycol ether and the carboxylic acid is in addition carried out towards positive dirction, has greatly improved the productivity of binary alcohol esters.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to overcome the problem that prior art runs into, and provide a kind of reactive distillation process of utilizing to prepare the method for binary alcohol esters by glycol ether and carboxylic acid, this method not only has high yield but also very simple.
The method for preparing binary alcohol esters by glycol ether and carboxylic acid according to the present invention can be finished above-mentioned purpose, this method comprises the steps: glycol ether and carboxylic acid mixed flow are added to first distillation tower that is filled with strong acid cation resin, glycol ether and carboxylic acid carry out reactive distillation and produce binary alcohol esters in this first distillation tower, never isolate binary alcohol esters in reactant that reacts and the water that is produced, this binary alcohol esters is discharged from the bottom of first distillation tower, and unreacted reactant and the water that the produced top by first distillation tower passes to second column; Make unreacted reactant separated from one another with the water that is produced in second column, water is removed, and unreacted reactant is reused to mixed flow.
Fig. 1 is the process flow sheet for preparing the binary alcohol esters method by the reactive distillation process according to of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is another process flow sheet for preparing the binary alcohol esters method by fixed-bed reactor and reactive distillation process according to of the present invention.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the present invention is made more detailed description.
The invention is characterized in and use the reactive distillation tower that catalyzer is housed, prepare binary alcohol esters from glycol ether and carboxylic acid.Also can randomly before raw material is added to distillation tower, in fixed-bed reactor, make reactant glycol ether and carboxylic acid carry out pre-reaction, make its part be converted into binary alcohol esters, to improve reaction efficiency.
Referring to Fig. 1, this is according to the process flow sheet of the present invention by the preparation binary alcohol esters method of glycol ether and carboxylic acid.
Shown in this schema, the mixed flow of starting material glycol ether 1 and carboxylic acid 2 is directed into the reactive distillation tower C1 that the strong acid cation resin catalyzer is housed.In the product of the catalyzed reaction of tower C1, binary alcohol esters 4 is separated and guide to the bottom of tower by reactive distillation, and the residue of being made up of unreacted compound (glycol ether or carboxylic acid) and the water that is produced 5 is directed to the top of tower and passes to distillation tower C2, in distillation tower C2, unreacted compound 6 and water sepn also are recovered in the raw-material mixed flow, and 7 of moisture content are removed.
Referring to Fig. 2, this is another process flow sheet for preparing binary alcohol esters from glycol ether and carboxylic acid according to of the present invention.
Shown in this schema, the mixed flow of starting material glycol ether 1 and carboxylic acid 2 is directed into fixed-bed reactor R1, comprises a kind of strong-acid cation-exchange resin as catalyzer among these fixed-bed reactor R1.The reaction product 3 of coming out from these fixed-bed reactor R1 feeds to the reactive distillation tower C1 that same strong-acid cation-exchange resin catalyst is housed.In the catalytic reaction products of tower C1, binary alcohol esters 4 is separated and guide to the bottom of tower by reactive distillation, and the residue of being made up of unreacted compound (glycol ether or carboxylic acid) and the water that is produced 5 is directed to the top of tower and passes to distillation tower C2, in distillation tower C2, unreacted compound 6 and water sepn also are recovered in the raw-material mixed flow, and 7 of moisture content are removed.
As described, in reactive distillation column C1, randomly in fixed-bed reactor R1, under the catalyzer condition, pass through pre-treatment glycol ether 1, under the condition that strong-acid cation-exchange resin catalyst exists, be converted into binary alcohol esters.When this conversion part when implementing in fixed-bed reactor R1, can reduce the theoretical plate number in the reaction zone of reactive distillation tower C1, this is favourable economically.In addition, utilize reactive distillation tower C1 to come product separation, can improve the turnover ratio of glycol ether, make it not limited by the equilibrated among the fixed-bed reactor R1.
When strong-acid cation-exchange resin catalyst is packed distillation tower into, place it in the bag that makes with glass fibre, go down to avoid pressure decline and catalyzer slippage in the tower.This packed catalyzer is positioned in the middle part of distillation tower.The theoretical plate number in distillation column reaction district can change in the scope of 1-30 piece, depends on the kind of product and reactant.
The reaction pressure of distillation tower better is to remain on the 10-700 millibar.For example, when reaction pressure during less than 10 millibars, the turnover ratio of glycol ether can reduce.On the other hand, the reaction pressure in the distillation tower can cause the temperature in the reaction zone to raise when surpassing 700 millibars, and activity of such catalysts reduces.For the weight hourly space velocity in the distillation tower (WHSV) better is to be about 0.5-10 hour -1For example, the weight hourly space velocity in distillation tower was less than 0.5 hour -1The time can cause catalyzer too much with respect to handled reaction mass.On the other hand, when the weight hourly space velocity of reactant flow greater than 10 hours -1The time. can obtain relatively poor glycol ether turnover ratio.
In fixed-bed reactor, the better condition of implementing reaction is: weight hourly space velocity is 1-10 hour -1, temperature range is 50-150 ℃, pressure range is 10-300 pound/time 2(gauge pressure).
Be used for glycol ether of the present invention, be preferably propylene glycol monomethyl ether (propylene glycol methyl ether), but this do not limit the scope of the invention.Be used for carboxylic acid of the present invention and be preferably and be selected from acetate, but also be not limited to this compound.
As mentioned above, being used for catalyzer of the present invention is a kind of strong-acid cation-exchange resin with polystyrene skeleton.Usefully can be from Rohm ﹠amp; Haas obtains, commodity are called Amberlyst 16, Amberlyst 15, Ambeerlyst 35, and Amberlyst 150, Amberlyst XN-1005, Amberlyst XN-1010, and can obtain from DowChemical, commodity Dowex M-31 by name and Dowex M-32, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
When the turnover ratio of the time limit of service of considering catalyzer and glycol ether, temperature of reaction better is to maintain 50-150 ℃, is more preferably 70-130 ℃.When temperature of reaction is lower than 50 ℃, can cause the reduction of glycol ether turnover ratio, and when temperature of reaction surpassed 150 ℃, activity of such catalysts can reduce.
When being directed into fixed-bed reactor R1 or reactive distillation tower C1, reactant is to be in admixture.In this mixture, when considering the turnover ratio of reactant, glycol ether is preferably 1 the mol ratio of carboxylic acid: 1-10 to 1-10: 1, and take into account when considering product separation and turnover ratio, be more preferably at 1: 1 to 1: 10.
The present invention may be better understood with reference to following embodiment, and these embodiment are in order to illustrate rather than in order to limit the present invention.
