Description
li 1094098 ¦ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVE~TION:
This invention relates to a process for producing methacrylic acid and a methacrylate or acrylic acid and an acryla`te at the same time.
- More particularly, this invention relates to a process for simultaneously producing methacrylic acid and a methacrylate or acrylic acid and an acrylate by reacting methacrolein or acrolein with an aliphatic alcohol and molecular oxygen in the vapor phase by using a catalyst comprising (1) palladium, (2) phasphorus, ~3~ antimony, t4) X and (5) oxygen wherein X denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium, cerium, beryllium, lead, magnesium, calcium, strontium, zinc, barium, l thorium, bismuth, chromium, iron, nickel, cobalt, vanadium, 15 ~ manganese, tin, uranium and rhenium.
The process of the invention may further comprise supplying into the reaction system a phosphoric acid or a phosphorus compound capable of forming a phosphoric acid through a chemical change during the reaction.
For the synthesis of methacrylic acid by oxidizing methacrolein in a vapor phase a number of catalysts have hitherio been proposed.
Almost all of these catalysts, however, have low l activities. Further, if the reaction is carried out at an elevated temperature in order to increase the conversion, ., I
09409~ j large amounts of undesirable by-products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acid etc. are produced so that the per-pass yield of methacrylic acid is very low.
~ The catalysts as disclosed in the Japanese Patent ¦ Laid-Open Publication Nos. 67216/1973 and 61416/1973, which are improved in their catalytic activity and selectivity, I comprise phosphomolybdic acid or its salts as the main ingredient, Phosphomolybdic acid-based catalysts have a dis-advantage that the catalyst lifetime is short. Once they lose activity, it cannot be restored by means of a simple treatment such as re-calcination, for example. When the temperature of reaction or calcination exceeds 450C, they are abruptly degraded in catalytic activity. Thus, they are thermally unstable and they are not always available for commercial use.
Further, conventional phosphomolybdic acid-based catalysts offer a notably short catalytic lifetime when the reaction is carried out at a particularly high space velocity.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 30,826/1975 2Q discloses a process for producing methyl methacrylate which !¦ comprises subjecting a gas mixture of methacrolein, methanol, ¦¦ oxy~en, steam and nitrogen to the reaction in the vapor phase ¦¦ in the presence of a molybdenum-vanadium-tungsten series catalyst.
¦ The process is far from commercially satisfactory because the yield of methyl methacrylate is very low.
, `` 1094098 Another disclosure relating to a catalyst containing palladium, phosphorus and oxygen is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 37,719/1975. Methacrylic acid is prepared by oxidizing methacrolein with molecular oxygen in the presence of the above catalyst. The destined product, methacrylic acid is produced in higher yield and selectivity, while a comparatively large amount of steam is required. The larger the feed, the larger the equipment, which is undesirable on an industrial scale and economically disadvantageous. Since the process of the above application is only directed to the preparation of methacrylic acid, it is, of course, impossible to prepare an ester at the same time.
The present invention is directed at overcoming the aforementioned disadvantages and according to the process of the present invention, methacrolein or acrolein is oxidised at low temperature such as 160 to 350C and methacrylic acid and a methacrylate or acrylic acid and an acrylate are produced in high yields at the same time. Further the formation of by-products such as acetic acid, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide owing to the degradation is well suppressed. The amount of steam to be fed during the reaction may be very small, which is one of the important characteristics of the invention.
In addition the catalyst according to the present invention is I ~094098 I
thermally stable and therefore has a substantially longer service life, particularly even when the reaction is carried out at high space velocities.
~ The process of the invention is not only economically advantageous, but also industrially epoch-making.
The catalyst to be used in the present invention comprises (1) palladium, (2) phosphorus, (3) antimony, (4) X and (5) oxygen wherein X denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium, cerium, beryllium, lead, magnesium, calcium, strontium, zinc, ~arium, thorium, bismuth, chromium, iron, nickel, cobalt, vanadium, manganese, tin, uranium, and rhenium and has a long service life which is significantly superior to those of the prior phosphomolybdic acid-based catalysts.
It has surprisingly been found that the catalyst is stable at elevated temperatures, for example, at 600C.
However, this catalyst as such is not completely satisfactory, because a part of phosphorus which is one of the essential components of the catalyst, though in a very small amount, leaves the catalyst system during the reaction.
Consequently, the semipermanent life required for commercial catalysts can not be attained.
The inventors have found that when the reaction is l carried out in the presence of the catalyst, the catalyst can be st~bilized and its servi~e life can iurther be prol~nged l - 5 -i! ~
by continuously or intermittently supplementing phosphorus in an appropriate amount corresponding to that of the phos-phorus which leaves the catalyst system.
¦ The process of the present invention is epoch-¦ making and of great value for commercial use since methacrylic acid and a methacrylate or acrylic acid and an acrylate can be selectively produced in high yields for long periods of time.
The term "a phosphoric acid or a phosphorus compound capable of forming a phosphoric acid through a chemical change during the reaction "(hereinafter to be referred to as a phosphorus-containing compound~ which is to be supplied to the reaction system in accordance with the present invention means any of phosphoric acids and phosphorus compounds capable of forming a phosphoric acld through a chemical reaction such as hydrolysis, oxidation, etc., including orthophosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, phosphine, organic phosphoric acids, solid phosphoric acids, etc.
To the reaction system the phosphorus-containing 20 I compound may be supplied in any suitable manner.
For example, if the phosphorus-containing compound is water-soluble, it may uniformly be dissolved in water to be used for the reaction so that it is carried to the reaction system along with water.
If the phosphorus-containing compound is solid, for , l li l , . , ' 6 1 i 1.
¦ example, a solid phosphoric acid, this solid material may be charged in front of the catalyst layer. As steam is fed and made contact with the charged material, the latter generates ~ a phosphoric acid, which is carried to the catalyst layer , along with steam.
~urtheremore, if the phosphorus-containing compound is gaseous, a gaseous mixture of the same and air may be fed to the catalyst layer.
The amount of the phosphorus~containing compound to be supplied may vary over a wide range. In general, the phosphorus-containing compound is supplied so that the amount of phosphorus contained in the compound is preferably 5 to 1 x 10 4 wt%, more particularly 0.5 to 1 x 10 3 wt% on the l basis of a total amount of water and an aliphatic alcohol fed 1 during the reaction.

¦ In either case the activity of the catalyst is not I¦ adversely affected.
'l The catalyst can include a carrier to lower the catalyst concentration, increase the catalyst strength or to enhance 1~ the economy of the catalyst. A suitable amount of a carrier l! may be impregnated with a small amount of the catalyst. Even I¦ a large amount of a carrier may be used.
1, As the carrier, may be employed inert substances such , ., , 1~ , l as silica sol, silica gel, silicon carbide, a-alumina, Alundum, celite, boiling bubble stone, aluminum powder, silicahydro gel and the like.
l ` The catalyst may be used in the form of spherical ~ granules, pellets, particles crushed to suitable size, tablets etc.
The aliphatic alcohol used herein is, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol and the like.
l The molecular oxygen used herein is usually air.
lQ ¦ The oxygen may be diluted with an inert gas which does not adversely affect the reaction, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide and the like.
To the reaction system methacrolein or acrolein and oxy~en are fed as a gaseous feed mixture in such proportions ! that the molar ratio of methacrolein or acrolein to oxygen is preferably 1:(0.5-30), more preferably 1:(1-8).
When methacroiein or acrolein is oxidized by oxygen in the presence of the catalyst of the invention and in the ~ absence of an aliphatic alcohol to produce methacrylic acid 1 or acrylic acid, the presence of steam is indispensable. If steam is absent, the oxidation of methacrolein or acrolein to 1i¦ methacrylic acid or acrylic acid takes place almost to the il least extent. Since an aliphatic alcohol is present according I¦ to the process of the inventionr the destined products, 1, methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate, !
I
can be obtained in high yields even in the absence of steam.
The selectivity of methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate is very high. However, by introducing ¦
a smali amount of steam the conversion of methacrolein or acrolein is further accelerated and the yield of methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate is further increased.
The steam is added in the gaseous feed mixture in such proportions that the amount of steam is preferably 0.1 to 28 moles, more preferably 0.5 to 10 moles per mole of methacrolein or acrolein.
The aliphat~c alcohol is preferably fed in an amount from 0.1 to 25 moles, especially 0.3 to 10 moles per mole of methacrolein or acrolein.
The temperature for carrying out the reaction is not so critical. The reaction may preferably be carried out at a temperature of 180 to 370C, especially 200to 330C.
The reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or at lower or higher pressures. In general it is ¦ convenient to carry out the reaction at atmospheric pressure.
¦ ~ preferable range of pressure is 0.3 to 15 atm.
ll The gaseous feed mixture can be introduced at ¦¦ any desirable space velocity, preferably at a space velocity ~ of 300 to 15,000 Q-gas/Q-cat.hr, especially 700 to 8,000 ' Q-gas/Q~cat.hr.

! thereof, yielding a clear solution. To this clear solution I are further added a metal salt or oxide of antimony (such! as antimony trioxide) and a metal salt or oxide of the X
constituent, yielding an aqueous solution. Any suitable carrier ¦ is i~mpregnated with such aqueous solution, evaporated to dryness and then calcined in air at 300- 700C, preferably 400 - 550C for five or more hours.
The carrier which has been impregnated first with a palladium salt and thermally treated at a temperature of preferably 200- 700C may ~e impregnated with phosphoric acid, antimony trioxide and X compound and then calcined.
Or, the carrier which has been impregnated with antimony trioxide and X compound and thermally treated m~y be ~ impregnated with palladium chloride dissolved in ammonia water I and then calcined in air and thermally treated in an atmosphere ¦ of reducing agent such as hydrogen. The resultant substance ¦¦ is impregnated with phosphorus compound and then calcined.
¦ In either case the activity of the catalyst is not I¦ adversely affected.
'l The catalyst can include a carrier to lower the catalyst concentration, increase the catalyst strength or to enhance 1~ the economy of the catalyst. A suitable amount of a carrier l! may be impregnated with a small amount of the catalyst. Even I¦ a large amount of a carrier may be used.
1, As the carrier, may be employed inert substances such , ., , 1~ , l as silica sol, silica gel, silicon carbide, a-alumina, Alundum, celite, boiling bubble stone, aluminum powder, silicahydro gel and the like.
l ` The catalyst may be used in the form of spherical ~ granules, pellets, particles crushed to suitable size, tablets etc.
The aliphatic alcohol used herein is, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol and the like.
l The molecular oxygen used herein is usually air.
lQ ¦ The oxygen may be diluted with an inert gas which does not adversely affect the reaction, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide and the like.
To the reaction system methacrolein or acrolein and oxy~en are fed as a gaseous feed mixture in such proportions ! that the molar ratio of methacrolein or acrolein to oxygen is preferably 1:(0.5-30), more preferably 1:(1-8).
When methacroiein or acrolein is oxidized by oxygen in the presence of the catalyst of the invention and in the ~ absence of an aliphatic alcohol to produce methacrylic acid 1 or acrylic acid, the presence of steam is indispensable. If steam is absent, the oxidation of methacrolein or acrolein to 1i¦ methacrylic acid or acrylic acid takes place almost to the il least extent. Since an aliphatic alcohol is present according I¦ to the process of the inventionr the destined products, 1, methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate, !
I
can be obtained in high yields even in the absence of steam.
The selectivity of methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate is very high. However, by introducing ¦
a smali amount of steam the conversion of methacrolein or acrolein is further accelerated and the yield of methacrylic acid and methacrylate or acrylic acid and acrylate is further increased.
The steam is added in the gaseous feed mixture in such proportions that the amount of steam is preferably 0.1 to 28 moles, more preferably 0.5 to 10 moles per mole of methacrolein or acrolein.
The aliphat~c alcohol is preferably fed in an amount from 0.1 to 25 moles, especially 0.3 to 10 moles per mole of methacrolein or acrolein.
The temperature for carrying out the reaction is not so critical. The reaction may preferably be carried out at a temperature of 180 to 370C, especially 200to 330C.
The reaction can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or at lower or higher pressures. In general it is ¦ convenient to carry out the reaction at atmospheric pressure.
¦ ~ preferable range of pressure is 0.3 to 15 atm.
ll The gaseous feed mixture can be introduced at ¦¦ any desirable space velocity, preferably at a space velocity ~ of 300 to 15,000 Q-gas/Q-cat.hr, especially 700 to 8,000 ' Q-gas/Q~cat.hr.

1, ' , ¦¦ According to the present invention satisfactory results ¦¦ are obtained even when the reaction is carried out at space velocities as high as 2,000 to 8,000 Q-gas/~-cat.hr. Further the service life of the catalyst is maintained for a long period ¦ of time under such conditions.
i The catalyst of the present in~ention may be applied in any form selected from a fixed bed, a fluidized bed and a moving bed.

While 16.0 g of Aerosil (SiO2) was heated and agitated, 0.4 g of antimony trioxide and 0.17 g of magnesium phosphate (III) were added. The mixture was concentrated by heating, then evaporated to dryness and thereafter, dried at 100C for eight hours. The dried mixture was impregnated with an aqueous 15 1 ammonia solution containing 0.44 g of palladium chloride, evaporated to dryness, thereafter repeatedly washed with 10 liters of distilled water and dried. The dried product was subjected to a heat treatment in the air at 450C for five hours and then thermally treated in an atmosphere of hydrogen 20 ¦ at 450C for five hours. The product was impregnated with 6.5 g of hypophosphorous acid ~30 %), evaporated to dryness.
Thereafter, the dried product was calcined in the air at 450~C
for five hours. The thus obtained product is named Catalyst A, I¦ the composition of which is represented by the formula:

As the phosphorus-containing compound was used trimethyl phosphate in the form of a 0.1 % solution (i.e.
methanol-water solution). This solution was fed in an amount l of 5 cc per hour.
A gaseous feed mixture contained methacrolein, methanol,j oxygen, steam, nitrogen and phosphorus in a relative molar ratio of 1:1:2:5.5:18.1:1.8xlO 3.
