Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the synthesis of olefin oxides, and more particularly to an economical and safe process for synthesizing propylene oxide and other olefin oxides .
- Co-pending application serial number 09/886,078 filed June 20, 2001 and assigned to the assignee hereof is incorporated herein by reference.
- the co-pending application discloses and claims a process for synthesizing alcohols and ethers from alkanes .
- the process involves reacting an alkane with bromine to form the corresponding alkyl bromide and hydrogen bromide.
- the alkyl bromide and the hydrogen bromide are reacted with a metal oxide to produce the corresponding alcohol and/or ether, and metal bromide.
- the metal bromide is oxidized to form the original metal oxide and bromine, both of which are recycled.
- the present invention employs a similar procedure to synthesize olefin oxides, particularly propylene oxide.
- Propylene oxide has heretofore been produced using a wide variety of procedures, none of which is particularly satisfactory.
- propylene chlorohydrin The oldest and most widely used procedure for preparing propylene oxide is the propylene chlorohydrin process.
- An early propylene chlorohydrin technique involved electrolyzation of propylene in aqueous potassium chloride to prepare propylene chlorohydrin which was then dehydrohalogenated to produce propylene oxide.
- propylene oxide is prepared by reacting propylene with chlorine/water to prepare propylene chlorohydrin, then reacting the propylene chlorohydrin with aqueous calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or calcium carbonate to obtain propylene oxide.
- a major drawback to the propylene chlorohydrin process involves the fact that the manufacture of a given quantity of propylene oxide necessarily results in the manufacture of a like or greater quantity of various salts which have little commercial value.
- a further disadvantage of the propylene chlorohydrin process is the fact that the propylene oxide product must be separated from large quantities of water, generally through steam stripping.
- Propylene oxide can also be manufactured utilizing the ethylbenzene process.
- the ethylbenzene process involves reacting ethylbenzene with oxygen to generate ethylbenzene hydroperoxide which is then reacted with propylene to obtain propylene oxide and alpha phenylethano1.
- the alpha phenylethanol is then converted to styrene by dehydration.
- the major drawbacks to the ethylbenzene process involves the production of styrene in equal quantities with the desired propylene oxide and the use of ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, which is both explosive and subject to decomposition. Cumene can also be used to manufacture propylene oxide.
- the cumene is oxidized to produce cumene hydroperoxide which is then reacted with propylene to form propylene oxide and cumyl alcohol.
- the cumyl alcohol is reduced to cumene by reaction with hydrogen over a catalyst and is recycled.
- the drawbacks to the cumene process include the use of large amounts of cumene hydroperoxide which is highly explosive and the consumption of expensive hydrogen.
- a fourth process for manufacturing propylene oxide is known as the tert-butane hydroperoxide process.
- isobutane is oxidized by reaction with oxygen to obtain tertiary butane hydroperoxide, which is then reacted with propylene to form propylene oxide and tert-BuOH.
- the drawbacks to the process include the direct reaction of butane with oxygen, the use of dangerous tert-butane hydroperoxide, and the production of tert-BuOH as a byproduct.
- Still another process for producing propylene oxide is known as the hydrogen ⁇ peroxide process .
- propylene is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in a solvent such as methanol over a catalyst.
- Drawbacks to the process include the fact that the reaction rate is very slow and the fact that expensive hydrogen is necessarily consumed to form hydrogen peroxide .
- a sixth method of synthesizing propylene oxide involves direct oxidation of propylene.
- propylene is reacted with oxygen over a catalyst to generate propylene oxide.
- safety considerations dictate that the process is very carefully controlled.
- Other drawbacks include low conversion rates, typically below 10% and low selectivity, typically below 40%.
- the present invention comprises a method of synthesizing propylene oxide and other olefin oxides which overcomes the foregoing and other difficulties that have long since characterized the prior art.
- an olefin bromohydrin or an alkane dibromide is reacted with a metal oxide to form olefin oxide and metal bromide.
- the metal bromide is converted to obtain the original metal oxide and bromine, both of which are recycled.
- an olefin bromohydrin and/or an alkane dibromide (such as propylene bromohydrin and/or 1, 2-dibromopropane) is reacted with a metal oxide to synthesize olefin oxide
- Cu(N0 3 ) 2 (0.5M, 6.8ml) solution was mixed with BaBr 2 (0.5M, 1.2ml). A clear solution was obtained. The solution was added into Zr solution (0.5M, 8.0ml) (as prepared above) . After stirring for a few seconds, a gel was obtained. The gel was dried at 110 2 C for 4 hours, then heated to 500 S C within 6 hours, and calcined at 500 2 C for 4 hours. BaBr 2 CuO/Zr0 2 metal oxide (M2) was obtained. M3 Cu(N0 3 ) 2 (0.5M, 7.6ml) solution was mixed with CaBr 2 (0.5M,
- Propylene bromohydrin (1.00ml/hour) and helium (2.0ml/minute) were passed through a reactor that was packed with 3.0000 gram Ml, which was heated to 100 2 C.
- Propylene bromohydrin (0.50ml/hour) and nitrogen (5. Oml/minute) were passed through a reactor that packed with 0.8286 gram M3, which was heated to 120 2 C. Within the first 1.5 hours, an average propylene bromohydrin conversion of 50%, with 41% propylene oxide average selectivity was obtained. 1,2-dibromopropane 1, 2-dibromopropane (1. OOml/hour) (0.50ml/hour) and nitrogen (5. Oml/minute) were passed through a reactor that packed with 0.8286 gram M3 , which was heated to 100 ⁇ C. Within the first 1.5 hours, an average propylene bromohydrin conversion of 40%, with 59% propylene oxide average selectivity was obtained.
- the metal oxide can be an oxide of the following metals: Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo,
- the reactions can be carried out at a temperature range of between about 50 2 C to about 600 2 C.
- the reactions pressure can be from about 1 to about 200 atm.
- the reaction can be carried out with or without helium.
- the metal bromide resulting from the process can be converted in oxygen or in air to obtain the original metal oxide and bromine, both of which are recycled.
- the conversion reaction takes place at a temperature range of between about 50 to about 700 2 C and a pressure range from about 1 to 300atm.
- the method of the present invention operates on ' a continuous or batch basis to convert olefin bromohydrins and/or alkane dibromides to olefins oxides.
- the method of the present invention operates at relatively low temperatures and at low pressures and is therefore economical in use.
- the favorable economics of the method also result from the fact that only the bromohydrin and/or dibromide reactants and oxygen are consumed. " The method does not involve direct contact between the reactants and oxygen and is therefore relatively safe.
