Description

本発明は、プロピレンの接触気相酸化によりアクリル酸の製造する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a process for producing acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene.

アクリル酸は、各種合成樹脂、塗料、可塑剤の原料として工業的に重要であり、現在、全世界で数百万トン/年の規模で生産されている。また、近年では、吸水性樹脂の原料としてその重要性が高まり、需要はさらに伸び、工業的規模でアクリル酸収率のさらなる向上が望まれている。アクリル酸の製法としては、プロピレンの接触気相酸化により主としてアクロレインを得て、さらに得られたアクロレインの接触気相酸化によってアクリル酸とする二段酸化方法が最も一般的である。   Acrylic acid is industrially important as a raw material for various synthetic resins, paints, and plasticizers, and is currently produced on a scale of several million tons / year worldwide. In recent years, the importance has increased as a raw material for water-absorbent resins, and the demand has further increased, and further improvement in the yield of acrylic acid is desired on an industrial scale. The most common method for producing acrylic acid is a two-stage oxidation method in which acrolein is mainly obtained by catalytic vapor phase oxidation of propylene, and acrylic acid is obtained by catalytic vapor phase oxidation of the obtained acrolein.

このような、プロピレンを分子状酸素または分子状酸素含有ガスの存在下で接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造する方法において、プロピレンを接触気相酸化してアクロレインを製造する第一工程に用いられる触媒あるいはアクロレインを接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造する第二工程に用いられる触媒として、その目的生成物の収率や触媒寿命等の触媒性能は必ずしも充分なものではなく、その性能の改善を目的として各社で検討がなされ様々な提案がされている。第一工程に用いられる触媒としては、例えば、Mo、Bi、Fe、SbおよびNiを含み、更にK、Rb、Csの少なくとも一種の元素を必須成分とする触媒(特許文献1、特許文献2)、Mo、BiおよびFeを含み、更にNiおよびCoの少なくとも一種の元素を必須成分とする触媒(特許文献3)、Mo、BiおよびFeを含み、更にMg、Ca、Zn、CdおよびBaの少なくとも一種の元素を必須成分とする触媒(特許文献4)、Mo、BiおよびFeを含み、更にIIAおよびIIB族元素の少なくとも一種の元素を必須成分とする触媒(特許文献5)などが開示されている。また、第二工程に用いられる触媒としては、例えば、モリブデン、バナジウム、タングステンからなる触媒(特許文献6)、モリブデン、バナジウム、銅、タングステン、クロムからなる触媒(特許文献7)、モリブデン、バナジウムからなる触媒(特許文献8)、モリブデン、バナジウム、銅とアンチモン、ゲルマニウムの少なくとも1種の元素とからなる触媒(特許文献9)などが開示されている。   In such a method for producing acrylic acid by catalytic vapor phase oxidation of propylene in the presence of molecular oxygen or molecular oxygen-containing gas, it is used for the first step of producing acrolein by catalytic vapor phase oxidation of propylene. As a catalyst used in the second step of producing acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation of acrolein or acrolein, the catalyst performance such as the yield of the target product and the catalyst life is not necessarily sufficient, Various companies have been studied and various proposals have been made for the purpose of improvement. The catalyst used in the first step includes, for example, Mo, Bi, Fe, Sb, and Ni, and further contains at least one element of K, Rb, and Cs as essential components (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). A catalyst containing at least one element of Ni and Co as an essential component (Patent Document 3), Mo, Bi and Fe, and at least Mg, Ca, Zn, Cd and Ba A catalyst containing one element as an essential component (Patent Document 4), a catalyst containing Mo, Bi and Fe and further containing at least one element of Group IIA and IIB elements as an essential component (Patent Document 5) are disclosed. Yes. Examples of the catalyst used in the second step include a catalyst made of molybdenum, vanadium, and tungsten (Patent Document 6), a catalyst made of molybdenum, vanadium, copper, tungsten, and chromium (Patent Document 7), molybdenum, and vanadium. And a catalyst comprising at least one element selected from molybdenum, vanadium, copper and antimony, and germanium (Patent Document 9).

しかしながら、前記した技術はいずれも、目的とするアクリル酸の収率や触媒寿命等の面において、工業的な規模から見てなお改善の余地を残すものである。   However, all of the above-described techniques still leave room for improvement in terms of the yield of the target acrylic acid, catalyst life, and the like from an industrial scale.

かくして、本発明の目的は、プロピレンの接触気相酸化によりアクリル酸を製造する方法において、高収率で長期間にわたって安定してアクリル酸を製造する方法を提供することにある。   Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing acrylic acid stably in a high yield over a long period of time in a method for producing acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene.

反応に使用する触媒量が多く、単位容積当たりに充填される触媒の表面積が大きいほど触媒性能および触媒寿命に対して好ましいことは当業者であれば当然認識していることである。   Those skilled in the art will naturally recognize that the greater the amount of catalyst used in the reaction and the greater the surface area of the catalyst packed per unit volume, the better for catalyst performance and catalyst life.

しかしながら、プロピレンあるいはアクロレインの酸化反応のような発熱を伴う反応では、局部的な異常発熱部(以下、「ホットスポット部」という)が発生し、長期間の反応の間に触媒の粉化、崩壊あるいは構成成分の触媒からの飛散、昇華などが発生し、触媒性能および触媒寿命が低下する傾向があり、1本当たりの反応管に充填される触媒量が多くなる、すなわち、触媒の充填密度が高くなるほどその傾向は強くなる。一方、1本当たりの反応管に充填される触媒量が少ないと反応ガスとの接触効率が低下するため、十分な活性が得られず、また、経時的な触媒の性能劣化が起こり易いなど、触媒性能および触媒寿命の面で好ましくない。また、充填された触媒の表面積に関しても同様の問題が発生する。   However, in reactions involving heat generation such as the oxidation reaction of propylene or acrolein, local abnormal heat generation portions (hereinafter referred to as “hot spot portions”) are generated, and the catalyst is pulverized and disintegrated during a long-term reaction. Alternatively, scattering of constituent components from the catalyst, sublimation, and the like occur, and the catalyst performance and the catalyst life tend to be reduced, and the amount of catalyst charged in one reaction tube increases, that is, the catalyst packing density increases. The higher the value, the stronger the tendency. On the other hand, if the amount of catalyst charged in one reaction tube is small, the contact efficiency with the reaction gas decreases, so that sufficient activity cannot be obtained, and the catalyst performance is likely to deteriorate over time, etc. It is not preferable in terms of catalyst performance and catalyst life. The same problem occurs with respect to the surface area of the packed catalyst.

本発明者らは上記問題を鑑み触媒の充填方法について鋭意検討した結果、固定床熱交換型反応器に触媒を充填するに際し、触媒の充填密度におよび単位容積当たりの触媒に起因する表面積が特定の範囲になるように触媒を充填することにより長期間安定して高い収率でアクリル酸を製造することができることを見出し本発明に至った。   As a result of intensive studies on the catalyst packing method in view of the above problems, the present inventors have determined the catalyst packing density and the surface area attributable to the catalyst per unit volume when packing the catalyst into the fixed bed heat exchange reactor. The inventors have found that acrylic acid can be produced stably and in a high yield for a long period of time by filling the catalyst so as to be in the above range.

本発明の方法によれば、高収率で長期間にわたって安定してアクリル酸を製造することができる。   According to the method of the present invention, acrylic acid can be produced stably over a long period of time with a high yield.

以下、本発明にかかるアクリル酸の製造方法について詳しく説明するが、本発明の範囲はこれらの説明に拘束されることはなく、以下の例示以外についても本発明の趣旨を損なわない範囲で適宜変更し、実施することができる。   Hereinafter, although the manufacturing method of acrylic acid concerning this invention is demonstrated in detail, the range of this invention is not restrained by these description, and changes suitably in the range which does not impair the meaning of this invention except the following illustrations. And can be implemented.

本発明において、固定床熱交換型反応器の各反応管に触媒を充填するに際して、各反応管に充填されるべき触媒の充填密度および表面積を特定の範囲内に調整する必要がある。具体的には、プロピレンを接触気相酸化してアクロレインを製造する第一工程において、固定床熱交換型反応器の各反応管にモリブデン、ビスマスおよび鉄を必須成分とする触媒を充填密度が0.75g/cm以上、より好ましくは0.75〜1.2g/cmの範囲、かつ触媒1L(リッター)当たりの表面積が7,000〜12,000m、より好ましくは8,000〜11,000mの範囲になるように触媒を充填し、第一工程で得られたアクロレインをさらに接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造する第二工程において、固定床熱交換型反応器の各反応管にモリブデンおよびバナジウムを必須成分とする触媒の充填密度を0.90g/cm以上、より好ましくは1.00〜1.60g/cmの範囲、かつ触媒1L(リッター)当たりの表面積が2,000〜6,000m、より好ましくは2,100〜4,000mの範囲になるように触媒を充填する。 In the present invention, when the catalyst is filled in each reaction tube of the fixed bed heat exchange reactor, it is necessary to adjust the packing density and surface area of the catalyst to be filled in each reaction tube within a specific range. Specifically, in the first step of producing acrolein by catalytic vapor phase oxidation of propylene, the packing density of the catalyst containing molybdenum, bismuth and iron as essential components is zero in each reaction tube of the fixed bed heat exchange reactor. .75 g / cm 3 or more, more preferably in the range of 0.75 to 1.2 g / cm 3 , and the surface area per liter of the catalyst is 7,000 to 12,000 m 2 , more preferably 8,000 to 11 In the second step of preparing acrylic acid by further catalytic gas phase oxidation of the acrolein obtained in the first step and filling the catalyst so as to be in the range of 1,000,000 m 2 , each reaction of the fixed bed heat exchange reactor tube molybdenum and vanadium the packing density of the catalyst as an essential component 0.90 g / cm 3 or more, more preferably in the range of 1.00~1.60g / cm 3, and the catalyst 1L (liter The catalyst is charged so that the surface area per ter) is in the range of 2,000 to 6,000 m 2 , more preferably 2,100 to 4,000 m 2 .

触媒の充填密度および表面積が上記範囲未満の場合、触媒と反応ガスとの接触効率が低下するため、十分な活性が得られず第一工程におけるアクロレインの収量および第二工程におけるアクリル酸の収量が低く、また、触媒の経時劣化も進み易く触媒寿命も短い。一方、反応管内に充填された触媒の充填密度および表面積が上記範囲より大きい場合、圧力損失が増加し、ブロワー等のランニングコストが増加すると共に逐次反応の増加により、結果として第一工程におけるアクロレインの収量および第二工程におけるアクリル酸の収量が低くなる。更に先述したように高温のホットスポット部の発生により局部的な触媒の劣化の点からも不利である。   When the packing density and surface area of the catalyst are less than the above ranges, the contact efficiency between the catalyst and the reaction gas is reduced, so that sufficient activity cannot be obtained and the yield of acrolein in the first step and the yield of acrylic acid in the second step are reduced. In addition, the catalyst is easily deteriorated with time and the catalyst life is short. On the other hand, when the packing density and surface area of the catalyst packed in the reaction tube are larger than the above ranges, the pressure loss increases, the running cost of the blower and the like increases, and the sequential reaction increases, resulting in the acrolein in the first step. The yield and the yield of acrylic acid in the second step are low. Further, as described above, it is disadvantageous in terms of local catalyst deterioration due to the generation of a hot spot portion.

本発明における反応管に充填された触媒の充填密度および触媒1L(リッター)当たりの表面積は、下記式により算出される。
充填密度(g/cm
=反応管に充填された触媒の質量(g)/反応管に充填された触媒の容量(cm
ここで、
反応管に充填された触媒の容量(cm
=反応管に充填された触媒の充填層長×((反応管内径/2)×円周率)
であり、
表面積(m)=充填密度(g/cm)×比表面積(m/g)×1,000(cm
なお、比表面積は、この種の測定に一般的に用いられるBET比表面積計などの装置を用いて測定できる。
The packing density of the catalyst packed in the reaction tube and the surface area per 1 L (liter) of the catalyst in the present invention are calculated by the following equations.
Packing density (g / cm 3 )
= Mass of catalyst charged in reaction tube (g) / capacity of catalyst charged in reaction tube (cm 3 )
here,
Capacity of the catalyst filled in the reaction tube (cm 3 )
= Packed bed length of catalyst packed in reaction tube × ((reaction tube inner diameter / 2) 2 × circumference ratio)
And
Surface area (m 2 ) = packing density (g / cm 3 ) × specific surface area (m 2 / g) × 1,000 (cm 3 )
The specific surface area can be measured using an apparatus such as a BET specific surface area meter generally used for this type of measurement.

前記した第一工程および第二工程に用いられる触媒の調製には、一般的に用いられる方法を用いて製造することができ、下記に一例を示す。   For the preparation of the catalyst used in the first step and the second step described above, it can be produced by a generally used method, and an example is shown below.

触媒活性成分の原料として、各成分元素の酸化物、水酸化物、アンモニウム塩、硝酸塩、炭酸塩、硫酸塩、有機酸塩などの塩類や、それらの水溶液、ゾルなど、あるいは、複数の元素を含む化合物などを、例えば、水に混合して水溶液あるいは水性スラリー(以下、「出発原料混合液」)とする。   As raw materials for catalytically active components, oxides, hydroxides, ammonium salts, nitrates, carbonates, sulfates, organic acid salts, etc. of each component element, their aqueous solutions, sols, etc., or multiple elements The compound or the like is mixed with water to form an aqueous solution or an aqueous slurry (hereinafter referred to as “starting raw material mixture”).

次に、必要に応じて、得られた出発原料混合液を、加熱や減圧など各種方法により乾燥させて触媒前駆体とする。加熱による乾燥方法としては、例えば、スプレードライヤー、ドラムドライヤー等を用いて粉末状の触媒前駆体を得ることもできるし、箱型乾燥機、トンネル型乾燥機等を用いて気流中で加熱してブロック状またはフレーク状の触媒前駆体を得ることもできる。また、一旦、出発原料混合液を濃縮、蒸発乾固してケーキ状の固形物を得て、この固形物をさらに上記加熱処理する方法も採用できる。減圧による乾燥方法としては、例えば、真空乾燥機を用いて、ブロック状または粉末状の触媒前駆体を得ることができる。   Next, if necessary, the obtained starting material mixture is dried by various methods such as heating and decompression to obtain a catalyst precursor. As a drying method by heating, for example, a powdered catalyst precursor can be obtained using a spray dryer, a drum dryer or the like, or heated in an air stream using a box-type dryer, a tunnel-type dryer or the like. Block or flake catalyst precursors can also be obtained. Alternatively, a method of once concentrating the starting raw material mixture and evaporating to dryness to obtain a cake-like solid and further subjecting the solid to the above heat treatment can also be employed. As a drying method by reduced pressure, for example, a block or powdery catalyst precursor can be obtained using a vacuum dryer.

得られた乾燥物は、必要に応じて適当な粒度の粉体を得るための粉砕工程や分級工程を経て、続く成形工程に送られる。なお、上記触媒前駆体の粉体の粒度は、特に限定されないが、成形性に優れる点で500μm以下が好ましい。   The obtained dried product is sent to a subsequent molding step through a pulverization step and a classification step for obtaining a powder having an appropriate particle size as required. The particle size of the catalyst precursor powder is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 μm or less in terms of excellent moldability.

触媒の成形方法としては、前記触媒前駆体あるいは前記触媒前駆体と粉体状の不活性担体との混合物を押し出し成形法や打錠成形法などにより一定の形状に成形する方法、触媒成分を一定の形状を有する任意の不活性担体上に担持する担持法がある。   As a method for molding the catalyst, a method of molding the catalyst precursor or a mixture of the catalyst precursor and a powdery inert carrier into a certain shape by an extrusion molding method or a tableting molding method, a constant catalyst component is used. There is a supporting method of supporting on an arbitrary inert carrier having the following shape.

押し出し成形法や打錠成形法等の場合、その形状に特に制限はなく、球状、円柱状、リング状、不定形などのいずれの形状でもよい。もちろん球状の場合、真球である必要はなく実質的に球状であればよく、円柱状およびリング状についても同様である。   In the case of an extrusion molding method or a tableting molding method, the shape is not particularly limited, and may be any shape such as a spherical shape, a cylindrical shape, a ring shape, and an indeterminate shape. Of course, in the case of a spherical shape, it does not need to be a true sphere, and may be substantially spherical, and the same applies to a cylindrical shape and a ring shape.

担持法としては、例えば、一定の形状を有する所望の不活性担体に、出発原料混合液を乾燥させずに水溶液あるいは水性スラリーのまま、加熱しながら塗布あるいは付着させて乾燥担持させる蒸発乾固法や、不活性担体に前記触媒前駆体を粉体状で担持させる造粒法にしたがって製造することができる。中でも、特に特開昭63−200839号公報および特開昭64−85139号公報に記載の遠心流動コーティング法、特開平10−28877号公報および特開平8−299797号公報に記載の転動造粒法、特開2004−136267号公報に記載のロッキングミキサー法を用いて不活性担体に担持する造粒法が好ましい。   As the loading method, for example, an evaporation to dryness method in which a starting inert liquid mixture or an aqueous slurry is applied to or adhered to a desired inert carrier having a certain shape while being heated or dried while being dried and supported. Alternatively, it can be produced according to a granulation method in which the catalyst precursor is supported in powder form on an inert carrier. Among them, the centrifugal fluid coating method described in JP-A 63-200839 and JP-A 64-85139, and rolling granulation described in JP-A 10-28877 and JP-A 8-299797 are particularly preferable. And a granulation method in which the carrier is supported on an inert carrier using the rocking mixer method described in JP-A No. 2004-136267 is preferable.

不活性担体としては、アルミナ、シリカ、シリカ−アルミナ、チタニア、マグネシア、ステアタイト、コージェライト、シリカ−マグネシア、炭化ケイ素、窒化ケイ素、ゼオライト等が挙げられる。担持法で使用する場合、その形状についても特に制限はなく、球状、円柱状、リング状など公知の形状のものが使用できる。   Examples of the inert carrier include alumina, silica, silica-alumina, titania, magnesia, steatite, cordierite, silica-magnesia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, zeolite, and the like. When used in the supporting method, the shape is not particularly limited, and known shapes such as a spherical shape, a cylindrical shape, and a ring shape can be used.

成形工程においては、成形性を向上させるための成形補助剤やバインダー、触媒に適度な細孔を形成させるための気孔形成剤などを用いることができる。具体例としては、エチレングリコール、グリセリン、プロピオン酸、マレイン酸、ベンジルアルコール、プロピルアルコール、ブチルアルコールまたはフェノール類の有機化合物や水、硝酸、硝酸アンモニウム、炭酸アンモニウムなどが挙げられる。   In the molding step, a molding aid or binder for improving moldability, a pore forming agent for forming appropriate pores in the catalyst, or the like can be used. Specific examples include organic compounds such as ethylene glycol, glycerin, propionic acid, maleic acid, benzyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol or phenols, water, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium carbonate.

本発明における固定床熱交換型反応器の各反応管に充填された触媒の充填密度および表面積が上記範囲になるようにするためには、充填される触媒の物性、特に密度、比表面積等を制御する必要があり、触媒調製時の条件調整が特に重要である。   In order to make the packing density and surface area of the catalyst packed in each reaction tube of the fixed bed heat exchange reactor in the present invention fall within the above range, the physical properties of the catalyst to be packed, particularly the density, specific surface area, etc. are set. It is necessary to control, and adjustment of conditions during catalyst preparation is particularly important.

具体的には、前記した成形工程において用いられる成形補助剤、バインダー、気孔形成剤、補強剤の添加量を制御する方法、打錠成型する場合における圧縮する圧力(打圧)を制御する方法、等を挙げることが出来る。また、触媒が充填される反応管の内径に対して触媒の粒径を制御することによっても前記範囲内になるように制御することが可能であり、もちろん、これらを組み合わせてもよい。   Specifically, a method for controlling the amount of the molding auxiliary, binder, pore forming agent, and reinforcing agent used in the molding step described above, a method for controlling the compression pressure (compression pressure) when tableting molding, Etc. can be mentioned. It is also possible to control the particle diameter of the catalyst with respect to the inner diameter of the reaction tube filled with the catalyst so that it falls within the above range. Of course, these may be combined.

本発明におけるプロピレンを分子状酸素又は分子状酸素含有ガスにより接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造するのに用いられる反応器については、固定床反応器である限り特段の制限はないが、特に固定床多管式反応器が好ましい。その際、プロピレンを接触気相酸化してアクロレインを製造する第一反応器(第一工程)と得られたアクロレインを接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造する第二反応器(第二工程)の二つの反応器を用い、第一反応器からのアクロレインを含有する反応ガスと、リサイクルガス、酸素、あるいは窒素や水蒸気などの不活性ガスとを第二反応器に導入しアクロレインを接触気相酸化してアクリル酸を製造する方法、一つの反応器を二つの反応帯に分割し、一方の反応帯にはプロピレンの酸化用触媒を充填(第一工程)し、もう一方の反応帯にはアクロレインの酸化用触媒を充填(第二工程)した一つの反応器を用いプロピレンからアクリル酸を製造する方法など公知の方法が採用できる。その反応管の内径は通常15〜50mm、より好ましくは20〜40mm、さらに好ましくは22〜38mmである。   The reactor used for producing acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene in the present invention with molecular oxygen or a molecular oxygen-containing gas is not particularly limited as long as it is a fixed bed reactor, A fixed bed multitubular reactor is preferred.

固定床多管式反応器の各反応管には、必ずしも単一の触媒を充填する必要はなく、各反応管に充填される触媒の充填密度および単位容積当たりに充填される触媒の表面積が本発明の特定範囲内である限り、それぞれの工程において従来公知の複数種の触媒をそれぞれ層(以下、「反応帯」という)をなすように充填することも可能である。例えば、特開平4−217932号公報および特開平9−241209号公報のような異なる占有容積を有する複数の触媒を原料ガス入口側から出口側に向かって占有容積が小さくなるように充填する方法、あるいは特開平10−168003号公報および特開平7−10802号公報のような担持率の異なる複数の触媒を原料ガス入口側から出口側に向かって担持率が高くなるように充填する方法、あるいは特開2005−320315号公報のような触媒の一部を不活性な担体などで希釈する方法、あるいはこれらを組み合わせる方法などを採用してもよい。この時、反応帯の数は、反応条件や反応器の規模により適宜決定されるが、反応帯の数が多すぎると触媒の充填作業が煩雑になるなどの問題が発生するため工業的には2〜6程度までが望ましい。   Each reaction tube of the fixed bed multi-tubular reactor does not necessarily need to be filled with a single catalyst, but the packing density of the catalyst filled in each reaction tube and the surface area of the catalyst filled per unit volume are not limited. As long as it is within the specific range of the invention, it is possible to charge a plurality of conventionally known catalysts in each step so as to form layers (hereinafter referred to as “reaction zone”). For example, a method of filling a plurality of catalysts having different occupied volumes as disclosed in JP-A-4-217932 and JP-A-9-241209 so that the occupied volume decreases from the raw material gas inlet side toward the outlet side, Alternatively, a method of filling a plurality of catalysts having different loading ratios such as JP-A-10-168003 and JP-A-7-10802 so that the loading ratio increases from the raw material gas inlet side to the outlet side, or A method of diluting a part of the catalyst with an inert carrier or the like, or a method of combining these may be employed as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-320315. At this time, the number of reaction zones is appropriately determined depending on the reaction conditions and the scale of the reactor. However, if the number of reaction zones is too large, problems such as complicated packing of the catalyst may occur. About 2-6 is desirable.

For example, the raw material gas is 1-15% by volume, preferably 4-12% by volume propylene, 0.5-25% by volume, preferably 2-20% by volume molecular oxygen, 0-30% by volume, preferably 0 A mixed gas consisting of ˜25% by volume of water vapor and the balance of an inert gas such as nitrogen is used as a catalyst in each step at a space velocity of 300 to 5,000 Hr −1 (STP) under a pressure of 0.1 to 1.0 MPa. What is necessary is just to contact. Suitable reaction temperatures in the first step and the second step are appropriately selected depending on the reaction conditions and the like, but are usually 300 to 380 ° C. in the first step and 250 to 350 ° C. in the second step.
