Combined system for hydroformylation reaction and separation of high carbon chain olefins
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high carbon chain olefin hydroformylation reaction and separation combined system, and belongs to the technical field of chemical reaction system equipment.
Background
The hydroformylation reaction of olefins, also known as OXO (OXO) reaction, refers to the reaction of olefins with carbon monoxide and hydrogen under the action of a transition metal complex catalyst to produce normal, isomeric aldehydes having one more carbon atom than the starting olefins.
R-CH=CH2+ H2+ CO R-CH2-CH2-CHO or R-CH(CHO)-CH3
The reaction is also called hydroformylation, since a hydrogen atom and a formyl group are added to the carbon atoms at both ends of the double bond of the unsaturated compound.
The hydroformylation reaction has achieved remarkable results over many years, and the oxo industry has become the most important organic synthesis industry worldwide. The olefin hydroformylation reaction is a typical homogeneous complex catalytic reaction, has the advantages of high catalyst activity and good selectivity, is often used for producing aldehydes and alcohols widely applied in the field of refinement industry in industry, can be used for synthesizing surfactants, fabric additives and plasticizers, can be used for producing various medical intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry, and can be further processed into spices for the food industry. The hydroformylation reaction of olefin belongs to an atomic economic reaction, atoms in the synthesis gas all enter olefin, no waste and substances toxic and harmful to the environment are generated, the hydroformylation reaction is a recognized green chemical process, meets the requirement of sustainable development, and is now the field of chemical industry and key research which are developed at home and abroad, but the problems of product separation and catalyst recycling still exist.
Cobalt-based catalysts are the earliest catalysts for the industrial production of olefin hydroformylation, but the reaction requires high pressure to maintain the stability of the active substances of the catalysts, high temperature to increase the reaction rate, and high temperature and high pressure operating conditions increase the difficulty and risk of industrial production. Later, rhodium was found to be a metal having a hydroformylation reaction activity more than cobalt, and the rhodium catalyst was found to have a low operating pressure and a good safety as compared with the cobalt catalyst. Although the new rhodium phosphine catalyst reduces the production condition of olefin hydroformylation, has the advantages of mild reaction condition, high positive-to-negative ratio of products and good heat transfer effect, and shows excellent economic effect, the catalyst is difficult to recover because rhodium is noble metal, so that the popularization and application of the catalyst are limited.
In order to solve the problem of difficult separation of the oil-soluble rhodium phosphine complex catalyst and the product, a water/organic two-phase catalytic system is developed, wherein the catalyst is dissolved in water, so that the contact of the catalyst with toxic substances in an organic phase is avoided, and the service life of the catalyst is prolonged. The product is dissolved in an organic phase, and after the reaction is finished, the catalyst and the product can be separated through simple standing layering, so that rhodium loss in the distillation process of the oil-soluble catalyst is reduced. However, the water solubility of long-chain olefins greatly limits the mass transfer rate of the oil-water reaction interface, resulting in extremely low reaction rates and conversions of about 20%. Mainly because in the water/organic two-phase catalytic system, the oxo reaction rate is mainly limited by the solubility of olefin in water, the water-soluble rhodium phosphine complex catalytic system is only applicable to low-carbon olefin. Limited by the recovery of the catalyst, the development of the hydroformylation process of the long carbon chain olefin is slower, and the industrialization degree of the domestic technology is lower.
