A kind of continuous esterification production method of mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester
Technical field
The present invention relates to the esterification synthesis technical field, relate in particular to a kind of continuous esterification production method of mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester.
Background technology
Mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester (MDBE) is by a kind of high boiling solvent, is to be formed with methanol esterification by the byproduct di-carboxylic acid (mixed dibasic acid of C4, C5, C6) that the production hexanodioic acid brings.The MDBE solvent has the boiling point height, distillate evenly, the smell gentleness, low and the biodegradable characteristics of energy of toxicity, has superpower dissolving power, the title that menstruum universale is arranged, it and urethane resin, acrylic resin, vibrin, the consistency of Resins, epoxy is superior, can extensively replace ketone (as pimelinketone, isophorone etc.), ethers is (as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether etc.), the ester class is (as ethylene glycol ether acetate, 1-Methoxy-2-propyl acetate etc.) wait each kind solvent, be widely used in coil coating, coatings for tin plate printing, car paint, wood lacquer, printing ink, the synthetic industry of jet ink and resin etc.
The production technique that high boiling solvent MDBE is traditional is to adopt sulfuric acid to make catalyzer, adopt the intermittent type esterification process, in the presence of catalyzer, mixed dibasic acid and methyl alcohol are in reaction kettle of the esterification internal heating back flow reaction, esterification finishes, make finished product through neutralization, washing, distillation, unreacted methanol reclaims rectification and purification.
But traditional batch production technology has following shortcoming:
1, intermittently esterification energy consumption height, product yield is low, quality is unstable, foreign matter content in the product of different batches and acid number instability;
2, intermittent esterification reaction is not thorough, and product yield is low;
3, nitration mixture causes generating a large amount of high molecular polymers at the esterifying kettle overstand, causes product yield to reduce, and occluding device cleans frequently, has increased cost of labor;
4, the high molecular polymer of reaction generation can't be handled, and causes serious pollution problem;
5, methyl alcohol runs off manyly in reaction process, consumes high;
6, batch production yields poorly, and is unfavorable for large-scale production.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is: at the deficiency that prior art exists, provide that a kind of product purity height, steady quality, production energy consumption are low, the continuous esterification production method of the simple mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester of technological operation.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of continuous esterification production method of mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester may further comprise the steps:
(1) pre-esterification: mixed dibasic acid and methyl alcohol with 1: 2~3 mixed in molar ratio, are carried out pre-esterification at normal temperatures and pressures, obtain pre-esterification material;
(2) methyl alcohol preheating: methyl alcohol is preheated to 145~155 ℃ overheated methanol gas through pressurization;
(3) continuous esterification: in the middle part is provided with the continuous esterification device of catalyst reaction bed, described pre-esterification material enters from the top of continuous esterification device, described overheated methanol gas enters from the bottom of continuous esterification device, the methanol gas that rises and the pre-esterification material of whereabouts carry out countercurrent reaction on the catalyst reaction bed, the mixed dibasic acid dimethyl ester that esterification generates is discharged continuously from the bottom of described esterifier.
Wherein, described catalyzer is iron trichloride or sodium pyrosulfate, and the add-on of described catalyzer is 5~15wt% of mixed dibasic acid.
Described mixed dibasic acid is the mixed dibasic acid of C4, C5, C6.
140~150 ℃ of the bottom temps of described continuous esterification device, 70~81 ℃ of head temperature.
As a kind of improvement, methyl alcohol is preheating to 130~140 ℃ through pressurization, be heated to 145~155 ℃ overheated methanol gas again through superheated vapour.
As further improvement, after described overheated methanol gas was carried out the adverse current esterification, unreacted methanol gas was discharged from the top of continuous esterification device, and circulation participates in reaction after purifying.
Owing to adopted technique scheme, the invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
1, the present invention adopts continuous esterification production method, and pre-esterification material enters from the top of continuous esterification device, overheated methanol gas enters from the bottom of continuous esterification device, on the catalyst reaction bed, carry out countercurrent reaction, so two kinds of material full contacts, esterification is complete, the feed stock conversion height, the product purity height, and shortened the reaction times, improved production efficiency.
2, the present invention is in the continuous esterification process, unreacted methanol gas is constantly discharged from the top of continuous esterification device and is recycled, the running balance that keeps methyl alcohol in the reaction vessel, and methyl alcohol is constantly taken away the water that esterification generates, help reaction and carry out, improved reaction conversion ratio to the positive reaction direction.
3, the present invention adopts the continuous esterification method to produce because technology continuously and operate steadily, the steady quality homogeneous of product, can not occur interrupter method produce in product foreign matter content and the inconsistent problem of acid number between different batches.
4, methanol gas dynamic flow among the present invention constantly reclaims and purifies, and has improved the utilization ratio of methyl alcohol, the utilization ratio of comparing methyl alcohol with traditional interrupter method improves more than 50%, and the loss of methyl alcohol is few, does not need to be equipped with the methanol rectification recovery system, has reduced facility investment.
5, adopt continuous esterification after because reaction time of esterification shortens, reduced reaction heat-up time, greatly reduce energy consumption and production cost.
