Description

Etherification-free system and process for preparing propylene oxide by virtue of intensified propylene epoxidation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of propylene epoxide preparation by propylene epoxidation, in particular to an etherification-free system and process for preparing propylene epoxide by propylene epoxidation.
Background
Propylene Oxide (PO) is the third largest organic chemical product among propylene derivatives that has a second yield to polypropylene and acrylonitrile. The epoxy propane has wide application, and can be used for producing propylene glycol, nonionic surfactant, oil field demulsifier, pesticide emulsifier, wetting agent and the like besides polyether polyol and glycerol. The derivative of the epoxypropane is also widely used in the industries of automobiles, buildings, foods, tobacco, medicines, cosmetics and the like. With the expansion of propylene oxide use and the increasing use of downstream products, the demand for propylene oxide in the market has increased year by year.
Currently, the main processes for the industrial production of propylene oxide are the chlorohydrin process and the co-oxidation process (also known as the indirect oxidation process, or Halcon process), which account for more than about 99% of the total world production capacity. The chlorohydrin method is to react propylene with chlorine and water to generate chloropropanol, and then to perform saponification reaction under the action of alkali liquor to obtain propylene oxide. This method has been the main method of producing PO since the 30 s of the 20 th century since its development and industrial production by united states carbon compounds corporation. The co-oxidation process is divided into the iso-butane process and the ethylbenzene process. Isobutane (or ethylbenzene) is oxidized to generate isobutane peroxide (or ethylbenzene peroxide), and then the isobutane peroxide (or ethylbenzene peroxide) reacts with propylene to generate PO, and simultaneously, tert-butyl alcohol (or alpha-methyl phenyl ethyl alcohol) is co-produced.
However, in the process of producing propylene oxide by using a chlorohydrination method, a large amount of salt-containing wastewater and organic chloride are generated, so that equipment corrosion and pollution discharge are serious, and in the process of producing propylene oxide by using a co-oxidation method, the defects of pollution, corrosion, chlorine resource requirement and the like of the chlorohydrination method can be overcome, but the process is long, the investment is large, ether products are easily generated, and the production cost is increased.
