Abstract
Description
- The present patent application claims the benefit of patent application FR 05.05120 and of patent application EP 05104321.4, both filed on 20 May 2005, and of provisional U.S. patent applications 60/734,659, 60/734,627, 60/734,657, 60/734,658, 60/734,635, 60/734,634, 60/734,637 and 60/734,636, all filed on 8 Nov. 2005, the content of all of which is incorporated here by reference.
- The present invention relates to a process for preparing an epoxide.
- Epoxides are important raw materials for the production of other compounds.
- Ethylene oxide is used, for example, for the production of ethylene glycol, of di- and polyethylene glycols, of mono-, di- and triethanolamines, etc (see K. Weissermel and H.-J. Arpe in Industrial Organic Chemistry, Third Completely Revised Edition, VCH, 1997, page 149). Propylene oxide is an important intermediate in the preparation of propylene 1,2-glycol, of dipropylene glycol, of ethers of propylene glycol, of isopropylamines, etc (see K. Weissermel and H.-J. Arpe in Industrial Organic Chemistry, Third Completely Revised Edition, VCH, 1997, page 275). Epichlorohydrin is an important raw material for the production of glycerol, of epoxy resins, of synthetic elastomers, of glycidyl ethers, of polyamide resins, etc (see Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Fifth Edition, Vol. A9, p. 539).
- In the industrial production of propylene oxide the most commonly used technology comprises the following steps: hypochlorination of propylene to monochloropropanol and dehydrochlorination of the monochloropropanol to propylene oxide by means of an aqueous alkaline solution.
- In the industrial production of epichlorohydrin the most commonly used technology comprises the following steps: high-temperature free-radical substitutive chlorination of propylene to allyl chloride, hypochlorination of the allyl chloride thus synthesized to dichloropropanol, and dehydrochlorination of the dichloropropanol to epichlorohydrin by means of an aqueous alkaline solution. Another technology, used on a smaller scale, comprises the following steps: catalytical acetoxylation of propylene to allyl acetate, hydrolysis of the allyl acetate to allyl alcohol, catalytic chlorination of the allyl alcohol to dichloropropanol, and alkaline dehydrochlorination of the dichloropropanol to epichlorohydrin. Other technologies, which have not yet gained industrial application, may be considered, including the direct catalytic oxidation of allyl chloride to epichlorohydrin using hydrogen peroxide, or the hydrochlorination of glycerol to dichloropropanol, followed by alkaline dehydrochlorination of the dichloropropanol thus formed to epichlorohydrin.
- Application WO 2005/054167 of SOLVAY SA describes a process for preparing dichloropropanol by reacting glycerol with hydrogen chloride in the presence of an organic acid as catalyst. In that process the dichloropropanol is separated from the other reaction products, the hydrogen chloride and the organic acid, and the dichloropropanol is subjected to a dehydrochlorination reaction so as to give reaction products containing epichlorohydrin. The dehydrochlorination may be carried out in the presence of a basic agent and, in particular, an aqueous solution of a basic agent. The epichlorohydrin formed may be used in the preparation of polyglycerols or epoxy resins. The presence of impurities such as, for example, chlorinated ketones, or aldehydes, in the epichlorohydrin obtained may, however, be detrimental for the applications mentioned.
- In accordance with the invention it has been found that the presence of impurities in the epoxide may be, for example, the cause of problems of coloration of the organic products obtained, or the source of unwanted chemical contamination of these products, by halogens, for example.
- The objective of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing an epoxide that does not exhibit these drawbacks.
- The invention accordingly provides a process for preparing an epoxide, comprising at least one step of purifying the epoxide formed, the epoxide being at least partly prepared by a process of dehydrochlorinating a chlorohydrin, the latter being at least partly prepared by a process of chlorinating a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof.
- The term “epoxide” is used herein to describe a compound containing at least one oxygen bridged on a carbon-carbon bond. Generally speaking, the carbon atoms of the carbon-carbon bond are adjacent and the compound may contain atoms other than carbon atoms and oxygen atoms, such as hydrogen atoms and halogens. The preferred epoxides are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, glycidol, epichlorohydrin and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- The term “olefin” is used herein to describe a compound containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Generally speaking, the compound may contain atoms other than the carbon atoms, such as hydrogen atoms and halogens. The preferred olefins are ethylene, propylene, allyl chloride and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- The term “polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon” refers to a hydrocarbon which contains at least two hydroxyl groups attached to two different saturated carbon atoms. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may contain, but is not limited to, from 2 to 60 carbon atoms.
- Each of the carbons of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon bearing the hydroxyl functional group (OH) cannot possess more than one OH group and must have sp3 hybridization. The carbon atom carrying the OH group may be primary, secondary or tertiary. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention must contain at least two sp3-hybridized carbon atoms carrying an OH group. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon includes any hydrocarbon containing a vicinal diol (1,2-diol) or a vicinal triol (1,2,3-triol), including the higher, vicinal or contiguous orders of these repeating units. The definition of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon also includes, for example, one or more 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5- and 1,6-diol functional groups. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may also be a polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol. Geminal diols, for example, are excluded from this class of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons may contain aromatic moieties or heteroatoms, including, for example, heteroatoms of halogen, sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon and boron type, and mixtures thereof.
- Polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons which can be used in the present invention comprise, for example, 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol), 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), 1,3-propanediol, 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, cyclohexanediols, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-cyclo-hexanedimethanol, 1,2,3-propanetriol (also known as “glycerol” or “glycerin”), and mixtures thereof. With preference the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. More preferably the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. 1,2,3-Propanetriol or glycerol is the most preferred.
- The esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be present in the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or may be produced in the process for preparing the chlorohydrin and/or may be prepared prior to the process for preparing the chlorohydrin. Examples of esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprise ethylene glycol monoacetate, propanediol monoacetates, glycerol monoacetates, glycerol monostearates, glycerol diacetates and mixtures thereof.
- The term “chlorohydrin” is used here in order to describe a compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one chlorine atom attached to different saturated carbon atoms. A chlorohydrin which contains at least two hydroxyl groups is also a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Accordingly the starting material and the product of the reaction may each be chlorohydrins. In that case the “product” chlorohydrin is more chlorinated than the starting chlorohydrin, in other words has more chlorine atoms and fewer hydroxyl groups than the starting chlorohydrin. Preferred chlorohydrins are chloroethanol, chloropropanol, chloropropanediol, dichloropropanol and mixtures of at least two thereof. Dichloropropanol is particularly preferred. Chlorohydrins which are more particularly preferred are 2-chloroethanol, 1-chloropropan-2-ol, 2-chloropropan-1-ol, 1-chloropropane-2,3-diol, 2-chloropropane-1,3-diol, 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol, 2,3-dichloropropan-1-ol and mixtures of at least two thereof.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, or the mixture thereof in the process according to the invention may be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or starting from renewable raw materials. It is preferable for at least part to be obtained starting from renewable raw materials. It is preferable for at least part to be obtained starting from fossil raw materials.
- The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof may be subjected to a purification treatment so as to reduce the amount of salts and/or of organic compounds other than the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon before the chlorination process.
- By fossil raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of petrochemical natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas and coal, for example. Among these materials preference is given to organic compounds containing 2 and 3 carbon atoms. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is glycerol, allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and “synthetic” glycerol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” glycerol is meant a glycerol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is ethylene glycol, ethylene and “synthetic” ethylene glycol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” ethylene glycol is meant an ethylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is propylene glycol, propylene and “synthetic” propylene glycol are particularly preferred. By “synthetic” propylene glycol is meant a propylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources.
- By renewable raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of renewable natural resources. Among these materials preference is given to “natural” ethylene glycol, “natural” propylene glycol and “natural” glycerol. “Natural” ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerol are obtained for example by conversion of sugars by thermochemical processes for example, it being possible for these sugars to be obtained starting from biomass, as described in “Industrial Bioproducts: Today and Tomorrow”, Energetics, Incorporated for the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of the Biomass Program, July 2003, pages 49, 52 to 56. One of these processes is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of sorbitol obtained by thermochemical conversion of glucose. Another process is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of xylitol obtained by hydrogenation of xylose. The xylose may for example be obtained by hydrolysis of the hemicellulose present in maize fibres. By “glycerol obtained from renewable raw materials” is meant, in particular, glycerol obtained during the production of biodiesel or else glycerol obtained during conversions of animal or vegetable oils or fats in general, such as saponification, transesterification or hydrolysis reactions.
- Among the oils which can be used in the process of the invention, mention may be made of all common oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, copra oil, babassu oil, former or new (low erucic acid) colza oil, sunflower oil, maize oil, castor oil and cotton oil, peanut oil, soya bean oil, linseed oil and crambe oil, and all oils obtained, for example, from sunflower plants or colza plants obtained by genetic modification or hybridization.
- It is also possible to employ used frying oils, various animal oils, such as fish oils, tallow, lard and even squaring greases.
- Among the oils used mention may also be made of oils which have been partly modified by means, for example, of polymerization or oligomerization, such as, for example, the “stand oils” of linseed oil and of sunflower oil, and blown vegetable oils.
- A particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal fats. Another particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the production of biodiesel. A third, very suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal or vegetable oils or fats by transesterification in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, as described in documents FR 2752242, FR 2869612 and FR 2869613. More specifically, the heterogeneous catalyst is selected from mixed oxides of aluminium and zinc, mixed oxides of zinc and titanium, mixed oxides of zinc, titanium and aluminium, and mixed oxides of bismuth and aluminium, and the heterogeneous catalyst is employed in the form of a fixed bed.
