Description

Method for preparing adipic acid by oxidizing cyclohexane
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing adipic acid by oxidizing cyclohexane.
Background
Adipic acid (adipic acid), also known as adipic acid, is an important organic diacid, and is an important raw material for preparing polyurethane and nylon 66. The international application field of adipic acid in nylon 66 is over 70 percent, and the international application field of adipic acid in polyurethane is 78 percent. At present, the world has four methods for producing adipic acid, namely a phenol method, a cyclohexane method, a cyclohexene method, a butadiene method and the like. Before the fifty years, the production of adipic acid mainly uses phenol as a raw material, and the production of adipic acid by using a phenol method is a more classical method. But the phenol resource is limited, the price is expensive, the product cost is high, and the phenol is basically eliminated at present. The modern industrial production mainly adopts a cyclohexane method, the yield of which accounts for about 93 percent of the total yield, and the method mainly comprises two steps of adipic acid synthesis. The first step of oxidizing cyclohexane to give cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (KA oil), followed by separation of the reaction mixture, recycling of unreacted cyclohexane, and the second step of oxidizing the KA oil to adipic acid with nitric acid. The method has the advantages that: the process is mature, the process is dominant in the production of adipic acid, byproducts are mainly succinic acid and glutaric acid, the separation is easy, and the product is relatively pure. The disadvantages are as follows: in the process of synthesizing KA oil, the conversion per pass is low, the conversion rate is generally 5% -12%, and a large amount of strong acid and strong alkali solution is needed, so that equipment is corroded, and the environment is polluted; in the second step, in the process of preparing adipic acid by oxidizing KA oil, the used oxidant is nitric acid, 68 percent of nitric acid is consumed for producing 1t of adipic acid product, the corrosion to equipment is serious, and a large amount of nitrogen oxide compounds which seriously pollute the environment can be generated.
In order to solve the problem, researchers explore a more environment-friendly and simple process route for synthesizing adipic acid by taking cyclohexane as a raw material and air or oxygen as an oxidant.
Chinese invention patents CN 1247501C (title of the invention: cyclohexane catalytic oxidation process), CN 1218922C (title of the invention: method for preparing adipic acid by air oxidation of hexacyclic carbon ring compound) and CN 1231449C (title of the invention: method for preparing adipic acid by biomimetic catalytic oxygen oxidation of cyclohexane) disclose methods for preparing adipic acid by air oxidation of cyclohexane using metalloporphyrin as a catalyst. Chinese invention patents CN 101239899B (title of the invention: a method for preparing adipic acid by one-step catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane) and CN 101337878B (title of the invention: a method for directly producing adipic acid by catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane) disclose a method for preparing adipic acid by one-step oxidation of cyclohexane by using a carbon material as a carrier to load a nano ruthenium dioxide catalyst or directly as a catalyst.
In the literature Organic Process Research&Development 1998,2,255-260 (article title: Direct Conversion of cyclic hexane in o-adaptive Acid with Molecular oxygenated catalyst bound by N-Hydroxyphthalimide bound with Mn (acac)2and Co(OAc)2) In Ishii et al use a free radical catalyst NHPI, and addA small amount of a transition metal promoter is added to oxidize cyclohexane directly to adipic acid with oxygen. The reaction was carried out in acetic acid solvent with NHPI (10 mol%) and manganese acetylacetonate (1 mol%) as catalysts at 100 ℃ for 20 hours, with a cyclohexane conversion of 73% and an adipic acid yield of 53%.
The methods well solve the problem of synthesis of adipic acid from various angles, but have some defects and shortcomings, and all the methods need to adopt various metal catalysts, and the metal catalysts enter soil and water along with waste residues and waste liquids to cause serious environmental pollution and the like, and have a certain distance from industrial production of adipic acid.
