Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method of from reclaim washing oil, extracting high purity biphenyl.Utilize the inventive method can obtain high purity biphenyl more than 99%.
The handled raw material of the inventive method is to utilize the intermediates of coal tar wash oil processing beta-methylnaphthalene to reclaim washing oil (WO-R), and wherein biphenyl content is about 21%.
The characteristics of the inventive method are successively to adopt single tower rectification under vacuum and second aqueous crystallization processes to purify to reclaiming washing oil.According to the inventive method, at first utilize single tower rectification under vacuum technology to carry out rectifying to reclaiming washing oil, obtain the thick biphenyl cut of 55-75%.After dissolving thick biphenyl cut with alcoholic solvent then, under agitation condition, carry out crystallization according to the temperature lowering curve of setting, collect purified biphenyl after reaching the crystallization terminal temperature, the biphenyl of collecting is carried out solution crystallization once more, obtain purity and reach biphenyl product more than 99%.The inventive method may further comprise the steps:
(1) will reclaim washing oil and add in the stuffing rectification column, under the vacuum pressure of 0.07-0.09MPa, reflux 1-2 hour, extraction cut, control of reflux ratio were 5-15, collected 175-213 ℃ cut, and obtaining biphenyl content is the thick biphenyl of 55-75%;
(2) in crystallizer, add thick biphenyl and the alcoholic solvent that step (1) obtains, under 40-55 ℃ starting temperature,, be cooled to warm 0-15 ℃ eventually of crystallization while stirring with the constant speed of cooling of 2-20K/hr, the biphenyl crystallization is separated with impure mother liquor, obtain the biphenyl of primary crystallization;
(3) in crystallizer, add biphenyl crystallization and the alcoholic solvent that step (2) obtains, under 50-60 ℃ starting temperature,, be cooled to warm 0-15 ℃ eventually of crystallization while stirring with the constant speed of cooling of 2-20K/hr, the biphenyl crystallization is separated with impure mother liquor, obtain the biphenyl crystallization of purifying.
The theoretical plate number of stuffing rectification column is the 38-50 piece in the inventive method, preferred stainless steel dumped packing of filler or stainless steel ripple filler.
Solution crystallization can carry out also can carrying out off and on continuously, and used equipment all should have good hot-swap feature, preferably has the equipment of heating and cooling circulatory function simultaneously.Crystallizer can be selected stirred type crystallizer for use, as has the discontinuous crystallizer of anchor stirrer.
Alcoholic solvent particular methanol, ethanol, propyl alcohol, butanols, Virahol or their mixture in step (2) and (3), the effect that the wherein independent effect of using is better than mixing use.By weight, the biphenyl raw material is 1:1.3-3.5 with the preferable amount ratio of alcoholic solvent, wherein preferred 1:2-3; Stirring velocity is 50-250rpm, and best stirring velocity is 100-200rpm; Preferred speed of cooling is 5-15K/hr, and preferred the continuation stirred 1-2 hour under the whole temperature of crystallization, thereby made crystallization more full and uniform.
Can the beta-methylnaphthalene crystallization be separated with impure mother liquor by ordinary method, for example can adopt extrude, filtration or mode such as centrifugal realize in the beta-methylnaphthalene crystallization and the separating of impure mother liquor.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is step (3) to be separated the biphenyl crystallization that obtains wash, and to remove residual adhesion impurity, can further improve biphenyl crystalline purity by carrying out washing treatment.The alcohol solution of alcoholic solvent that washings employing crystallization is used or saturated biphenyl, the wherein alcohol solution of preferred saturated biphenyl.The use temperature of washings is 0-15 ℃, and preferred 5-10 ℃, temperature is identical eventually with crystallization for most preferred washings use temperature.The consumption of washings is the 6-120% of thick biphenyl weight, wherein the 24-60% of preferred thick biphenyl weight.Mode of washing can be single wash or washing several times, and wherein preferably repeatedly washing for example, with 30% washing biphenyl crystallization of the total consumption of washings, is used remaining 70% repeated washing once earlier then.
In order to improve the yield of biphenyl, another preferred embodiment of the present invention is that recycling step (2) separates the mother liquor that obtains with (3) and reprocesses and recycle.Preferred mode is that recycling step (2) separates the residual washings of mother liquor and washing back that obtains with (3), merges this two kinds of solution, reprocesses and recycles.
