Treatment method of residual hydrogen peroxide in phenol hydroxylation reaction liquid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of a preparation method of benzenediol, in particular to a treatment method of residual hydrogen peroxide in a phenol hydroxylation reaction liquid.
Background
Catechol and hydroquinone are two important intermediate products, and have wide application, and the catechol can be used for synthesizing spice and medical products such as vanillin, (new) heliotropin and the like, and the hydroquinone can be used as polymerization inhibitor, rubber antioxidant, antioxidant and the like. The majority of catechol and hydroquinone sold in the market at present are prepared by the hydroxylation reaction of phenol and hydrogen peroxide, and mainly comprise a UBE method, a Rhone-Poulenc method, a Brichima method, an Enichem method and the like. The Japanese UBE process uses sulfuric acid as catalyst and has high requirement on equipment material, the French Rhone Poulenc process uses HClO 4/H3PO4 as catalyst, the single pass conversion rate of phenol is lower and is only 5%, the Brichima process uses iron catalyst, the safety risk is higher, the Italian Enichem process replaces Brichima process, the prior mainstream production process uses titanium-silicon molecular sieve (TS-1) as catalyst, and the reaction of 27.5% hydrogen peroxide and phenol is carried out to generate o/hydroquinone, the reaction condition is mild, and the selectivity of the benzenediol is more than 90%.
The hydroxylation reaction of phenol and hydrogen peroxide has obvious tailing effect, namely the lower the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is, the slower the reaction speed is, the hydrogen peroxide is difficult to consume completely, so the conversion rate of the hydrogen peroxide in the normal reaction process is usually maintained between 97 and 99 percent, and the hydroxylation reaction liquid contains 500 to 2000ppm of hydrogen peroxide. If the reaction solution containing 500-2000ppm hydrogen peroxide is not treated and enters a subsequent rectification system, the following two risks are brought about, namely 1) the reaction solution is easy to accumulate in a tower kettle with higher temperature and the like due to the higher boiling point of the hydrogen peroxide, and organic peroxide is easy to form after long-time heating. In the heating process, hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed to generate oxygen, the oxygen can form explosive mixture with organic solvents such as acetone or methanol in the reaction liquid, and explosion is very easy to occur when exposed fire or static electricity is encountered, and 2) quinone substances such as p-benzoquinone and o-benzoquinone exist in the hydroxylation reaction liquid, and the substances are easy to react with residual hydrogen peroxide to generate tar, so that the subsequent separation is plagued.
In order to consume the low concentration hydrogen peroxide in the reaction solution, patent CN114225933B discloses a manganese oxide catalyst for hydrogen peroxide decomposition and a preparation method thereof, after mixing a mixed solution of metal salt and manganese salt with citric acid and gel successively, heating to obtain the manganese oxide catalyst, wherein the decomposition removal rate of hydrogen peroxide with the initial concentration of 1000 ppm in water within 15min is close to 100 percent, suzan A and the like (Suzan A. Ali, J. Mater. Sci. Technol, vol. 20, no. 1,2004, 55-58) develop a novel cobalt oxide-copper oxide catalyst loaded by alumina and used for decomposing hydrogen peroxide, the initial hydrogen peroxide concentration is 0.73 percent, and the hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed in 2 hours under the conditions of normal pressure and 30 ℃. Patent CN106140148B discloses a hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalyst which consists of a mixture of oxides of metals of groups IVB, VIB, IB and IIIA and is applied to a reaction liquid of epoxidation of 3-chloropropene and hydrogen peroxide, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the epoxidation reaction liquid is reduced from 0.508% to 0.021% at 35 ℃ within 30 min.
The strategy of the patent technology is to decompose residual hydrogen peroxide, but the hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to generate oxygen, the oxygen is easy to form an explosive mixture with combustible liquid, methanol or acetone is mostly adopted as a solvent in hydroxylation reaction liquid of phenol and hydrogen peroxide, and the hydroxylation reaction liquid is a class-A liquid, has a wider explosion limit, and has a larger potential safety hazard once encountering oxygen.
