The raw materials for PTT synthesis are terephthalic acid and 1, 3-propanediol, and the quality of the 1, 3-propanediol product has a great influence on the characteristics of PTT fibers, for example, the product purity affects the intrinsic viscosity, and the aldehyde content and the color of the product affect the appearance of PTT; therefore, the research on synthesizing high-purity 1, 3-propylene glycol is one of the current hotspots, and the research mainly comprises two major types of chemical methods and biological methods, wherein the former comprises an ethylene oxide carbonylation method and an acrolein hydration hydrogenation method, wherein the acrolein hydration hydrogenation method has the characteristics of low technical difficulty, mild process conditions, high atom utilization rate and the like, and is one of the current industrial routes, but in the method, acrolein and an intermediate product 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde are unstable and are easy to generate polycondensation reaction, so that aldehyde byproducts are generated, more byproducts are generated after hydrogenation, the components of a reaction system are complex, and the aldehyde impurities are important factors influencing the quality of PTT fibers, so that the removal of the aldehyde impurities is a key step when the 1, 3-propylene glycol is purified.
CN 110790636A discloses a refining method for removing trace aldehyde groups in 1, 3-propylene glycol, which comprises the steps of adding sulfonic acid ionic liquid into 1, 3-propylene glycol dehydration concentrated solution containing trace aldehyde group impurities, catalyzing aldehyde groups by the ionic liquid to carry out aldehyde removal reaction, and then carrying out reduced pressure rectification to obtain a product with low aldehyde content and high 1, 3-propylene glycol purity; although the method can obviously reduce the content of aldehyde impurities, the ionic liquid has high cost, complicated preparation process and low product yield, and is not suitable for mass preparation.
