Improve the acetic acid process for purification of acetic acid potassium permanganate test period
One, technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of process for purification of acetic acid, particularly disclose a kind of acetic acid process for purification that improves acetic acid potassium permanganate test period by the acetic acid of low-pressure methanol oxo synthesis production.
Two, background technology:
Acetic acid is as a kind of important industrial raw material, status in organic chemistry industry is very important, be widely used in fiber, softening agent, make lacquer, tackiness agent, copolymer resins and pharmacy, dyestuff, food, metal processing and Fine Organic Chemical product multiple industrial circle such as synthesize, be to develop a kind of faster important organic chemical industry's product in recent years in the world.
The method of producing acetic acid at present in the world has acetaldehyde oxidation, butane and lightweight oil oxidation style and methanol carbonylation.Wherein best method is exactly a methanol carbonylation, and this method is the productivity height of acetic acid not only, and the generation of by-product impurities has also reduced.Therefore when adopting this method to make acetic acid, can obtain the purity higher acetic acid of purity than the acetic acid made from other method.At present adopt the acetic acid total amount of low pressure carbonylation method production to account for more than 64% of world's acetic acid ultimate production in the world.
But, even adopt the low pressure carbonylation method, still can produce trace impurity, as reduzate as by product, formic acid, carbonyl compound and halide-containing, therefore when adopting method for preparing acetic acid, the long time is carried out in operate continuously, when the productive rate of acetic acid improves, the content of the impurity outside removing carbon dioxide and the propionic acid might increase, and impurity can pollute target product acetic acid, thereby makes the downgrade of acetate products.
At present, the method that the quality test of Dichlorodiphenyl Acetate is adopted is potassium permanganate reducing substance test (potassium permanganate test period), this method is for use in testing for the content of the trace reduction impurity that exists in the acetic acid, this quality test makes us to detect the small increase of trace impurity content, is difficult to even the detection of these trace impurities adopts the modern high performance instrument to analyze also.This test confirms that the quality of acetic acid is owing to this class reduction impurity reduces.This class impurity comprises aldehyde, especially unsaturated aldehyde.These aldehyde comprise multiple compound, they separately separation and to remove be very difficult, especially crotonaldehyde, 2-ethyl crotonaldehyde and analogue thereof (they are the enriched materials after the dehydration of acetaldehyde molecule) have the boiling point close with acetic acid, therefore, be difficult to by distillation this class trace impurity and acetic acid separated.
The method of now having known of removing these impurity is used the facture of ozone, peracetic acid and hydrogen in addition except distillation method (energy consumption is too big).
Japan pending application JP-A02-231448 has proposed to use the treatment process of hydrogen, under the situation that 0.01-10% (weight) hydrogenation catalyst exists, be about 17-200 ℃ and hydrogen pressure in temperature and be about under 1-30 the atmospheric condition, handle impure aceticanhydride with hydrogen.
Japan publication JP-B48-30615 has proposed to use the method for peracetic acid, this method is to add peracetic acid in acetic acid, make in the potassium permanganate test to show the short residence time, then resulting mixture is carried out distillation purifying, obtained the acetic acid of quality improvement.
Japan pending application JP-A61-56151 also discloses the method for making of the acetic acid of quality improvement, promptly adding peracetic acid in sour makes it show the short residence time in the potassium permanganate test, in temperature is that 50-120 ℃ scope internal heating is handled resulting mixture, makes the mixture of handling carry out distillation purifying.
Just be to use the ozone Dichlorodiphenyl Acetate to carry out the method for purifying in addition, relevant patent has (1) Japanese pending application JP-A60-222439, and this patent has proposed with gas processing aceticanhydride crude product ozoniferous.(2) Japanese publication JP-B61-2052 has proposed under the situation that does not have any catalyst metal compositions to use gas processing purity ozoniferous to be not less than 99% acetate products.(3) the Japanese pending application JP-A01-211548 corresponding to U.S. Pat 137844 proposes to contain the acetic acid that impurity is halogenide, unsaturated compound and carbonyl compound, under catalyzer existence or non-existent situation, contact with the ozone of capacity, with oxidation impurity recited above, reclaim the acetic acid of purifying.(4) Japanese Patent finds that concrete unsaturated compound is vinyl acetate and methyl crotonate in acetate products.Wherein, when acetic acid and acid anhydrides were produced simultaneously by ritalin and methyl alcohol or dme and methyl alcohol and reaction of carbon monoxide, methyl crotonate existed especially in a large number, and its boiling point and acetic acid are basic identical, therefore are difficult to remove with the distillation method of routine.So developing a kind of purifying, this invention contains vinyl acetate and methyl crotonate method as the acetic acid and/or the acid anhydrides of impurity, promptly combine by ozonize and fractionation by distillation, now acetic acid and/or the aceticanhydride with impure methyl crotonate and/or vinyl acetate contacts with ozone, ozone is excessive with respect to the mole number of the carbon-to-carbon double bond in the impurity, and the impurity that ozonize produces is removed by distillation again.Contain in a large number with ozonize after as the acetic acid of the unsaturated compound of impurity and/or aceticanhydride again generation as a large amount of impurity of aldehydes.To the acetic acid and/or the aceticanhydride distillation of ozonize, just can remove the unsaturated compound methyl crotonate and the vinyl acetate that are difficult to remove with conventional partition method again, thereby obtain good high-quality acetic acid of the residence time and/or aceticanhydride in the potassium permanganate test.(5) Japanese Patent is also developed the method for preparing high-purity acetic acid, be included in the reactor the aqueous solution of methyl alcohol and/or methyl acetate and the step of carbon monoxide successive reaction, from this reactor, extract the step of reacting fluid continuously out and in vaporizer, thereby the reacting fluid that is extracted is evaporated the step that obtains to contain the gas phase composition of acetic acid and this gas phase composition distillation is extracted simultaneously the cat head effluent in distillation tower from the cat head of this distillation tower, it is characterized in that with this overhead product of ozonize.In these treatment processs, estimate from angle economic and safety, use ozone or contain the method for ozone gas more favourable than other method, and in producing acetic acid and acid anhydrides just in practice.But have some shortcomings when handling with ozone: (1) can only handle saturated compound with ozone, and saturated aldehydes can not decompose by handling with ozone; (2) be saturated aldehydes by the degradation production that produces with the ozonize unsaturated compound, they still have reducing power, and therefore, they are the compounds that become more inferior, have still shortened the potassium permanganate test period.
Three, summary of the invention:
The present invention proposes the acetic acid process for purification that improves acetic acid potassium permanganate test period, the present invention utilizes the method for the refining acetic acid of oxygenant bromic acid potassium, this method is simple and easy to do, advantage with ozonize method above-mentioned, acetic acid can be refined to higher degree, make the time of potassium permanganate test acetic acid variable color obtain prolonging.
