Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for purifying propylene oxide. More specifically, in the present invention, the reaction solution containing propylene oxide obtained by reacting cumene hydroperoxide with propylene has a carbon number of? A method for purifying propylene oxide, which is subjected to extractive distillation using a hydrocarbon extractant of up to 20 carbons, which can suppress the performance deterioration of the extractant and reduce the cost related to the extractant. And a method for purifying propylene oxide, which is more advantageous. Background art
- the reaction solution obtained by such a reaction contains, as impurities, water, hydrocarbons, and oxygen-containing organic compounds such as methanol, propionaldehyde, acetone, and methyl formate, in addition to the target product, propylene oxide. Therefore, a multi-stage purification step is required to separate and recover high-purity propylene oxide from the reaction solution.

- the raw material liquid to be subjected to the purification method of the present invention contains propylene oxide obtained by reacting cumene hydroperoxide with propylene, and contains water, a hydrocarbon, and an oxygen-containing organic compound as impurities.
- the reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at a reaction temperature of 10 to 200, a pressure of 1 to 20 MPa, and 2 to 50 times, preferably 5 to 30 times, the number of moles of the peroxide in the raw material cumenehydride. Under propylene conditions. If the propylene content is less than the above range, the reaction does not proceed sufficiently or the propylene oxide yield decreases. Disadvantaged.
- the reaction solution containing propylene oxide to be subjected to the purification method of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the “raw material solution”) is subjected to crude distillation separation of cumene and cumyl alcohol and propylene oxide in the reaction solution after the recovery of propylene. ) Is obtained.
- the hydrocarbons contained as the impurities include saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having 3 to 7 carbon atoms.
- oxygen-containing organic compound contained as an impurity examples include aldehydes such as propionaldehyde, alcohols such as methanol, ketones such as acetone, and carboxylic esters such as methyl formate. Can be.
- the raw material liquid is subjected to extractive distillation using a hydrocarbon extractant having 7 to 20 carbon atoms.
- the extractant include linear saturated hydrocarbons such as n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, n-pindecane, n-dodecane, 2,2-dimethylpentane, and 2,3-dimethylpentane , 2,2-dimethylhexane, 2,3-dimethylhexane, and the like; and saturated branched hydrocarbons or unsaturated hydrocarbons thereof.
- These extractants can be used either individually or as a mixture of these compounds. From an industrial viewpoint, a readily available saturated hydrocarbon having 7 carbon atoms is preferable.
- the relative volatility of xylene is 1.1, indicating that the relative volatility is close to 1 and distillative separation is difficult. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain propylene oxide of sufficient purity industrially by a usual distillation separation method.
- a hydrocarbon having 7 to 20 carbon atoms is added as an extractant to increase the relative volatility of methanol, water, acetoaldehyde, hydrocarbons and propylene oxide to separate them. Is used.
- the extractant is usually recycled from the economic viewpoint after purifying and separating impurities separated from propylene oxide, but when propylene glycol is contained in the extractant, methanol, water, acetoaldehyde, carbon number Since it has a higher boiling point than the hydrocarbons of No. 6, it is not separated and purified from the extractant hydrocarbons having 7 to 20 carbon atoms.It is re-fed to the distillation column together with the extractant and accumulates and circulates.
- the concentration of propylene glycol in a hydrocarbon extractant having 7 to 20 carbon atoms, which is an extractant is 20% by weight or less, preferably 10% by weight or less.
- reaction solution obtained by reacting propylene with cumene hydroperoxide is separated by distillation to obtain a raw material solution for purification of propylene oxide containing water, hydrocarbons and an organic compound containing oxygen as impurities.
- the raw material liquid is supplied to the extractive distillation column 100 through the line 1.
- n-heptane is supplied as an extractant.
- the extractive distillation column 100 is a column for removing most of water and oxygen-containing organic compounds in the raw material propylene oxide, and is discharged through a line 4 through a top fraction and a bottom fraction.
- n-heptane supplied through line 5 and propylene oxide supplied through line 1 are obtained.
- a part of the overhead fraction may be refluxed through line 3.
- the bottom fraction of the extractive distillation column 100 is supplied to the extractive distillation column 200 through a line 2, and at the same time, n-butane is supplied to the extractive distillation column 200 through a line 9.
- purified propylene oxide is obtained through line 8, and at the bottom, most of the hydrocarbons contained in the starting propylene oxide and n-heptane as an extractant are obtained through line 6. A part of the overhead fraction may be refluxed through the line 7.
- the bottom fraction obtained from the extractive distillation column 200 is supplied to the distillation column 300 through line 6, and most of the hydrocarbons contained in the raw material propylene oxide are discharged from the top of the column through line 11
- the bottoms fraction is recycled to the extractive distillation column 100 and Z or 200 through lines 5 and Z or 9, respectively.
- propylene glycol In the case of this flow, if propylene glycol is contained, the extractant effect for removing oxygenated compounds in the extractive distillation column 100 is impaired, and hydrocarbons are also removed in the extractive distillation column 200. The extractant effect is significantly impaired.
- propylene glycol has a higher boiling point than propylene oxide and other impurities. . Therefore, lowering the propylene glycol concentration in the extractant is very effective.
- propylene glycol can be removed anywhere as long as the extractant is present, but it is close to the extractive distillation column 100 as a suitable place where the effect of the present invention is maximized. Incidentally, it is preferable to remove by washing. Example
