Definitions

  • the present patent refers to a device for carrying out the continuous sulfonation / sulphation of sulphonatable / sulfatable organic compounds, in a monotubular reactor of descending liquid film and parallel flow.
  • This equipment allows the use of liquid SO 3 as a source of the sulfonation / sulfation agent to minimize the formation of oleum, which negatively affects the quality of the final product.
  • the monotubular reactor allows for the first time to regulate the thickness of the liquid reagent film and thus control and optimize the contact time between reagents.
  • this equipment allows to manipulate with great precision all the control variables of an industrial scale process (flow, concentration and stoichiometric ratio of the reagents fed and their temperatures, as well as the reaction temperature), being useful both for the optimization of the operating conditions of industrial reactors, such as to produce small quantities of product (300 to 400 grams per hour) suitable for quality control of the final product in facilities that produce substances whose sulfonation / sulfation are of interest, or for the quality control of the raw material, of an industrial sulfonation / sulfation process, as well as to be able to evaluate new production lines.
  • control variables of an industrial scale process flow, concentration and stoichiometric ratio of the reagents fed and their temperatures, as well as the reaction temperature
  • the sulfonation or sulphation of organic compounds with hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with SO 3 is a process widely used at industrial level to obtain surfactant raw materials, especially for the formulation of detergents , especially in sulfonation / sulfation processes of organic in liquid phase such as alkylbenzenes, alcohols, ethoxylated, definite alcohols, etc.
  • SO 3 is a common reagent in both processes, the chemical reaction is different depending on the nature of the organic compound.
  • the gaseous SO 3 is generated at industrial level by combustion of elemental sulfur in liquid phase with oxygen to give SO 2 , followed by the conversion of SO 2 into SO 3 catalyzed by catalysts such as vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) in the presence of oxygen
  • the oxygen used for both stages is usually the content itself in the ambient air. Due to the high reactivity of SO 3 in the sulfonation / sulfation reaction, which can lead to problems in controlling the reaction, this reagent is usually diluted before being introduced into the reactor to a range of 4% - 8% concentration (in volume) by a stream of inert gas (generally air), which also serves to cool the reagent to the optimum reaction temperature (in combination with other cooling systems, if necessary).
  • inert gas generally air
  • the problem associated with this stage is that an initial air drying process must be carried out (air cooling and water adsorption in a hygroscopic solid) to prevent the SO 3 that is generated from reacting with the water vapor present in the air, forming sulfuric acid mists that, apart from corrosion problems of the installation, end up generating oleum (SO 3 dissolved in sulfuric acid).
  • This oleum significantly worsens the quality of the final product (especially the color) due to hypersulfonation / hypersulphation ("burned") phenomena of the organic.
  • a cooling fluid (usually water) circulates on the outside of the tubes, which allows the heat generated in the reaction to be evacuated due to its exothermic nature; thus avoiding an increase in temperatures along the reactor that would result in a lower conversion and an increase in the burning processes.
  • each Tubular reactor it is essential to ensure that it is uniform, that is to say, that it has an equivalent thickness at all points for each differential element of reactor length, such that its cross section according to the perpendicular to the axial axis of the reactor is shaped circular crown. In this way an equivalent local reagent concentration is achieved in each cross section of the film and the liquid gas contact is maximized. If this film is not uniform in terms of its thickness, the sulfonation / sulfation reaction is not either.
  • the film does not have a well-defined circular section, in the area with greater film thickness the reaction does not develop completely (due to the shorter contact time between reagents with respect to the ideal film situation for circulating the liquid at a higher speed that in the ideal situation), while in the area of lower film thickness, since the speed of circulation of the liquid is lower (longer contact time between reagents), the "burning" processes (hypersulfonation / hypersulphation) are intensified.
  • the hypersulfonated / hypersulphated material can adhere to the internal wall of the reactor, generating "islets" that divert the flow of the film intensifying the asymmetry thereof.
  • the fundamental element is the system that distributes the reagents in each tubular reactor, with two alternatives.
  • distributors without compensation gas consisting of a cylinder on whose axis the SO 3 circulates, with an injector concentric to it on its external part, in such a way that the organic is dosed by the annular space between the cylinder and the injector, in such a way that when it is introduced into the tubular reactor I does it in the form of a film through the internal wall, while the gas circulates through the axial zone.
  • distributors without compensation gas consisting of a cylinder on whose axis the SO 3 circulates, with an injector concentric to it on its external part, in such a way that the organic is dosed by the annular space between the cylinder and the injector, in such a way that when it is introduced into the tubular reactor I does it in the form of a film through the internal wall, while the gas circulates through the axial zone.
  • This type of distributors is similar to the previous one, but in this case, there is an inlet between the SO 3 input and the organic one through which an inert compensation gas (such as air or nitrogen) is injected, which improves the distribution of the liquid through the inner wall of the reactor to "push it" towards the walls of the same once it leaves the injector, and thus favor a more uniform film.
  • an inert compensation gas such as air or nitrogen
  • the thickness of the liquid film is of great importance in terms of the contact time between reagents and the "local" concentration of reagents (molar ratio in a given section of the reactor between SO 3 and the organic one accessible thereto).
  • the greater the thickness of the liquid film in the wall the lower the feed rate of the film and, therefore, the greater the contact time. between the reagents.
  • the "local" concentration of SO 3 with respect to the "accessible” organic one is increased by a greater limitation to the transfer of matter derived from the smaller film surface and its greater thickness. Therefore, the regulation of the film thickness allows optimizing the contact between reagents (in terms of contact time and local concentration) in order to adapt it to the specific casuistry of each organic system-SO 3 .
  • Both types of ripeners have a cooling jacket to extract residual reaction heat, as well as an internal coil if the reactor size is very large.
  • the second equipment to consider is the hydrolysis reactor. This equipment is necessary when the sulfonation of alkylbenzenes is carried out, since during the initial stage of sulfonation anhydrides are generated (derived from the condensation of two sulfonic acid molecules). When hydrolyzed, these anhydrides generate sulfonic acid. It is therefore necessary to incorporate water into the process (approximately 0.5% by weight of the total production) to fully hydrolyze said anhydrides, and thus increase the amount of final sulfonic acid.
  • Hydrolysers consist of a complete mixing reactor with a suitable cooling system, which may be based on a cooling jacket, an internal coil or a combination of both (if the size of the reactor is very large).
  • this equipment is specially designed to work on a small scale (by the use of high-precision HPLC pumps but with a small flow, by the use of a single reactor, by the use of glass as the reactor construction material, for the use of liquid SO 3 as a source of the sulfonation / sulphation agent, by the vaporization system of SO 3 , etc.), the optimum production of sulphonates / sulfates being of the order of 300 to 400 grams per hour.
