Method for co-producing mesitylene and durene by alkylation-isomerization of C8 or C9 aromatic hydrocarbon
Technical Field

Background
Mesitylene, chemical name is 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene, boiling point is 164.60 ℃, is colorless transparent liquid, is insoluble in water, is soluble in ethanol, and can be dissolved in benzene, ether and acetone in any proportion. Mesitylene is an important chemical raw material, can be subjected to oxidation, amination, sulfonation, nitration, alkylation and condensation reaction to prepare mesitylene tricarboxylic acid, trimebutidine and 2, 4, 6-trimethylphenol important fine chemical products which are respectively used for producing alkyd resin, plasticizer, unsaturated polyester, modified fiber, film and the like; an antioxidant 330; reactive brilliant blue, acid dye, K-3R and other dye intermediates; ultraviolet absorbers, and the like.
At present, the preparation method of mesitylene mainly comprises a synthesis method and a separation and purification method. The first synthesis method is classified into an isomerization method and an alkylation method: the isomerization method is to use the pseudocumene as the raw material to carry out isomerization reaction to generate the mesitylene; the alkylation method adopts C9 aromatic mesitylene enrichment liquid and propylene to obtain mesitylene through multiple alkylation or a combined alkylation method of propylene and isobutene. The second separation and purification method is to directly rectify and separate the mesitylene contained in the mixed aromatic hydrocarbon of C9, which is a by-product produced by catalytic reforming, ethylene and paraxylene devices in petrochemical engineering, as a raw material. The C9 mixed aromatics, which are a large amount of by-products, generally contain 6-12% mesitylene.
The chinese patent CN1210238C discloses a method for co-producing mesitylene and durene from xylene, pseudocumene and durene. Belongs to the production technology of mesitylene. The method comprises the steps of taking dimethylbenzene, pseudocumene and tetramethylbenzene as raw materials, taking anhydrous aluminum trichloride as a catalyst, carrying out isomerization reaction under normal pressure to obtain reaction liquid containing a mesitylene product, washing with water, carrying out alkali washing, sending to a rectifying tower for separation to obtain the mesitylene product with the purity of 98.5%, adding chloromethane into recycled di-tetramethylbenzene for alkylation reaction, washing with water, carrying out alkali washing, sending to the rectifying tower for separation to obtain the mesitylene product with the purity of 98.5%.
The Chinese invention patent CN1775714A discloses a method for producing high-purity mesitylene by adopting a combined alkylation method of propylene and isobutene, which comprises the following steps: placing a C9 aromatic hydrocarbon mixture of concentrated mesitylene fractions with the boiling range of 161-169 ℃ in a reaction kettle; adding catalyst anhydrous aluminum trichloride and cocatalyst ferric trichloride into the reaction kettle, and uniformly stirring; heating the reaction kettle to 40-70 ℃ under normal pressure, and continuously introducing alkylating agents of propylene and isobutene; after the reaction is finished, placing the mixture into a washing kettle, adding water, repeatedly washing the mixture to be neutral, settling and separating the mixture, and drying the mixture.
The Master thesis at Tianjin university reports a process flow for producing high-purity mesitylene by using pseudocumene as a raw material. The process adopts a method of organically combining a non-hydrocatalytic isomerization technology of the pseudocumene and a separation means of precise rectification, and is unique and feasible. The non-hydrocatalyzing isomerization reaction test is carried out in a designed tubular reactor by using a developed M-2 type composite mordenite catalyst and taking high-purity pseudocumene arene as a raw material. The experimental result shows that the reaction temperature is 300-320 ℃, the reaction pressure is 1.0-1.6MPa, and the volume space velocity is 1.5-2.0h-1Under the condition, the conversion per pass of the pseudocumene is about 38%, the selectivity of the pseudocumene is 70%, the catalyst has high catalytic activity and selectivity, and the content of the methyl ethyl benzene is not increased after the reaction.
The research of the Master thesis of Nanjing university adopts an extractive distillation method to produce the mesitylene-durene. The pretreatment is carried out by adopting an intermittent rectification method; determining the optimal operation condition by measuring a distillation temperature and composition relation curve so as to ensure that the content and the yield of the mesitylene are higher; the pretreated raw material mainly contains mesitylene, o-methyl-ethylbenzene and meta-trimethylbenzene. The solvent, binary and ternary vapor-liquid equilibrium data and simulation results provided by the method provide theoretical basis for pilot-scale test and industrial application of co-production of mesitylene and durene by an extractive distillation method.
The synthesis method has the problems of high energy consumption, more side reactions, complex post-treatment and the like. Meanwhile, the separation and purification method has small difference between the boiling points of the mesitylene (the boiling point is 164.60 ℃) and the o-methyl ethylbenzene (the boiling point is 164.18 ℃), so that the rectification method is difficult to obtain the high-purity mesitylene.
Durene is an important organic chemical raw material and is mainly used for producing pyromellitic dianhydride. Pyromellitic dianhydride is an important raw material for synthesizing polyimide polymers. The polyimide has excellent electrical insulation performance, high temperature resistance and radiation resistance and can be widely applied to aerospace industry, atomic energy industry and electromechanical industry. In addition, pyromellitic dianhydride is also an important raw material for high-quality plasticizers, curing agents and powder coating matting agents.
The technological synthetic route of durene mainly comprises two types of separation and purification methods and a chemical synthesis method, wherein one type of separation and purification method is to separate and purify by-products in the processing process of petroleum and coal, mainly heavy components of gasoline prepared from methanol or C10 heavy aromatic hydrocarbon, as raw materials; the other is a chemical synthesis method which mainly comprises alkylation, disproportionation reaction and the like. The alkylation method has the advantages of low cost, no corrosion to equipment, large product scale and the like, and is widely concerned.
