The technical field to which the invention relates

The present invention relates to a method for producing, on which at least one of the substances to oxidize, propylene, propane, isobutylene and (meth)acrolein, effectively catalytically oxidized in the gas phase by molecular oxygen with the formation of (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid.

The level of technology

In General, (meth)acrylic acid or (meth)acrolein is continuously receiving such a way that using mnogotranshevogo reactor having multiple reaction tubes, each of which Packed catalyst, propylene, propane, isobutylene or (meth)acrolein, which is a substance for oxidation, catalytically oxidized by molecular oxygen or containing molecular oxygen gas in the gas phase in the presence of mixed (composite) oxide catalyst.

In the reaction tube temperature distribution is formed in the flow direction (in the direction of the axis of the tube) process gas consisting of oxidizable substances and molecular oxygen or containing molecular oxygen gas. Usually the temperature peak exists on the inlet side of the stream.

Figure 3 shows the change of temperature distribution in the direction of the axis of the tube, resulting from the continuous the main process. As a continuous process, the catalyst activity is disturbed and a particularly large decrease in catalyst activity is observed on the inlet side of the stream. In accordance with this, the reaction rate in this area is reduced, which results in decrease of the allocated due to the reaction heat. With regard to gas flow at a more remote from the entrance side than the above, as a quantitative measure of reaction in the inlet side of the flow decreases as the concentration of the raw material, which serves becomes higher, the quantitative indicators of the reaction increases, and increases the amount of heat emitted. However, the total quantitative reaction throughout the reaction tube is reduced. At this time, the position of the temperature peak in the direction of the axis of the tube (hereinafter referred to as the position of the peak) is shifted in the direction of the exit flow, and the peak temperature decreases the temperature distribution changes from a to b). In accordance with the situation, as long as the process is carried out so that the temperature (reaction temperature) was increased, this resulted in the return position of the peak in the direction of the input stream and increasing the maximum temperature, which led to the improvement of catalytic activity to maintain the yield of the product (the distribution of temperature changes from b to c').

Disclosure of invention

The problem related to the conventional process, is that the change in peak temperature from the beginning of the process is so large that the load on the catalyst near the peak position becomes significant, and the catalytic activity deteriorates rapidly. In accordance with this, the coolant temperature increases to the reactivation of the catalytic activity, and thus reduce product yield due to deactivation of the catalyst can be compensated within a short period. But then, after a certain time the catalytic activity locally is extremely reduced, which results in a rapid decrease in product yield.

The present invention relates to a method for producing (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid by this method using mnogotranshevogo reactor having multiple reaction tubes, each of which Packed catalyst, propylene, propane, isobutylene or (meth)acrolein, catalytically oxidized in the gas phase with molecular oxygen or containing molecular oxygen gas in the presence of a mixed oxide catalyst, in which (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid can be obtained stably, with high yield and without local deactivation of the catalyst.

The authors invented the I after intensive study found that when to overcome the decrease of catalytic activity caused by the continuous process, without excessive temperature increase of the coolant to maintain the yield of the reaction peak temperature of the catalyst to move within a certain range in the direction of the exit flow, thereby avoiding local deactivation of the catalyst, (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid can be obtained stably and with high yield, and came to the present invention.

In other words, in accordance with the invention proposes a method of obtaining a (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid and thus can be achieved, the task of the aforementioned inventions.

That is a method by which the (meth)acrylic acid or (meth)acrolein is obtained using mnogotranshevogo reactor with a fixed catalyst bed, which has a number of reaction tubes provided with at least one of the catalyst layer in the direction of the axis of the tube, and allows the coolant to regulate the temperature of the reaction at the outer side of the flow of the reaction tube, the reaction tube carry out gas-phase catalytic oxidation of at least one of the types of oxidizable substances, propylene, propane, isobutylene and (meth)acrolein, molecular oxygen or gas is, containing molecular oxygen, characterized in that in the beginning of the process the temperature difference between the coolant temperature and the peak temperature of the catalyst is set in the range from 20 to 80°and during the process peak temperature T (° (C) catalyst in the direction of the tube axis satisfies the following equation 1.

As a result, the catalyst activity can largely be protected from local deterioration. See this as a phenomenon in which the temperature distribution of the catalyst according to the accordance with the direction, in which process gas flows (in the direction of the axis of the tube, the shape of the peak temperature existing in the inlet side of the stream locally has no protrusions, and the transition to the output side of the stream, and the lower temperature peak decreases as long as you continue the process.

The actual temperature difference between the observed peak temperature, as specified above, and the temperature of the coolant in the beginning of the process is preferably in the range from 20 to 80°s and more preferably in the range from 20 to 70°C.

Even if the coolant temperature is set as described above to start the process by continuing the process of reducing the peak temperature caused by decreased activity of the catalyst, and transition (shift) position of the peak cannot be avoided. In accordance with this invention in the process create the peak temperature T (° (C) catalyst in the direction of the axis of the tube, satisfying the equation 1, and preferably the following equation 2. In this case, if the temperature is changed, the peak temperature can be adjusted and specifically, if the temperature of the coolant increases, the peak temperature T can be increased and the position of the peak can be shifted in the direction of the input stream.

(In equation 1 L, T0X and X0respectively mean: the length of the reaction tube (unit: mm), the peak temperature of the catalyst in the direction of the axis of the tube at the beginning of the process (unit: ° (C), the length from the entrance of the reaction tube up to the situation, which shows the peak temperature T (unit: mm)and the length from the entrance of the reaction tube up to the situation, which shows the peak temperature T0(unit: mm)).

In the case where L·{|T-T0|/(X-X0)} is too large, the change of position of the temperature peak is too small to cause localized areas of deactivation of the catalyst. Accordingly desirable that the value of L·{|T-T0|}/(X-X0)} was more than 300. In contrast, if the value of L·{|T-T0|/(X-X0)} is too small, the localization of deactivation of the catalyst can be avoided, however, since the total reaction amount is reduced, it is not desirable that the value of L·{(|T-T0|)}/(X-X0)} was less than 35.

Figure 2 shows the change of temperature distribution of the catalyst in the direction of the axis of the tube, when the peak temperature T satisfies the equation 1 in a continuous process. The fact that the peak temperature T satisfies the equation 1 means that figure 2 of the region, in which the peak temperature T is shifted, is in a certain area (area R). For example, the temperature distribution at the beginning of the process changes to the distribution of temperature, as the process continues.

Thus, if the peak temperature T to adjust so that the peak was within a certain range during the process, the change in peak temperature T can be reduced, that is, by preventing the concentration of stress on the catalyst having reduced activity, thereby the activity of the catalyst can be protected from local reduction. In accordance with this for a long time, it is possible to stably obtain a (meth)acrylic acid or (meth)acrolein in high yield.

In order for the process to create the peak temperature T satisfying the equation 1, it is desirable to regulate the peak temperature T so that the difference between the peak temperature T and the temperature can be preferably in the range from 20 to 80°s and more preferably in the range from 20 to 70°C.

It will be further explained by way of reaction, the reactor, catalyst and so on, which is used to produce (meth)acrylic acid or (meth)acrolein gas-phase catalytic oxidation of the raw material.

In recent years, the number of production AK the sludge acid from propylene and methacrylic acid from isobutylene (collectively referred to as (meth)acrylic acid) is rapidly expanding with the increase in their consumption. In accordance with this worldwide built a lot of units, and the scale of production of each facility increased to one hundred thousand tons or more per year. Scale production plant is the reason for the need to increase the number of products with each oxidation reactor. Accordingly, the load on the reactor gas-phase catalytic oxidation used for propane, propylene or isobutylene, and the catalyst becomes significant. This puts requirements to the operational conditions, which can maintain the stability of the catalyst under high load.

In the invention method, which, by means mnogotranshevogo reactor, which includes a cylindrical reactor vessel having an opening for flow of raw materials and the opening for discharge of the product; many circular pipelines, which are located on the outer side of the cylindrical reactor and used for the introduction or use of the fluid in the cylindrical housing of the reactor or outside it; a circular device that connects many of circular pipes with each other; many reaction tubes, which are fixed with many bars for pipe reactor containing a catalyst; and many of the guides of the partitions to change napravleniyami coolant, introduced into the reactor vessel in the direction of the length of the reaction tube, oxidizable raw material oxidizes containing molecular oxygen gas in accordance with an adapted gas-phase catalytic oxidation in the reaction tubes filled with an oxidation catalyst, such as catalyst on the basis of the Mo-Bi and/or a catalyst based on Mo-V.

The invention is a method of catalytic gas-phase oxidation, in which propylene, propane, isobutylene or (meth)acrolein or a mixture thereof as a substance for oxidation catalytic oxidized in the gas phase containing molecular oxygen gas to obtain a (meth)acrolein or (meth)acrylic acid. From propylene, propane and isobutene can be obtained (meth)acrolein, (meth)acrylic acid or both products. In addition, from (meth)acrolein get (meth)acrylic acid.

In the invention "process gas" means gas that participates in gas-phase catalytic oxidation of a substance for oxidation of gaseous material raw material gas containing molecular oxygen, and the resulting product. "Raw material" is a synonym of the substance for oxidation.

If the process gas flow and coolant flow are counter flows, there are no specific restrictions on the direction of flow of the process gas. However, in figure 1 due to the fact that the direction of flow of the coolant in the reactor vessel is shown as the upward flow, 4b indicates the inlet of the raw materials. On the outer edge of the reactor vessel has a circular pipe 3A for introducing coolant. The coolant, which is under the pressure created by the circulating pump 7 to the coolant rises in a circular pipe 3A of the inner side of the reactor. Each of the sets of guide walls 6A, having a window near the center of the reactor, and each of the sets of guide walls 6b, having a window on the outer edge of the reactor vessel in another method, the flow direction change, and the heat flow is returned from the circular pipe 3b to circulationaha pump. Part of the heat carrier, which took the heat of reaction out of the discharge pipe located in the upper part of the circulating pump 7, is cooled by a heat exchanger (shown here in the drawing) and is introduced again from the pipeline coolant 8A in the reactor. The temperature of the coolant is adjusted, when either the temperature or the rate of return flow of the coolant introduced from the supply line carrier 8A, regulate by means of the control thermometer 14. Temperature control of the coolant, however, depending on the characteristics of the used catalyst is carried out so that the difference of the temperatures of the coolant pipe coolant 8A and the coolant discharge pipe coolant 8b may be in the range from 1 to 10°and preferably in the range of from 2 to 6°C.

In another case, a 7.2 wt. parts of ferric nitrate, 25 wt. cha the TEI of cobalt nitrate and 38 wt. parts of Nickel nitrate was dissolved by heating to 60 wt. parts of purified water. These solutions were mixed under vigorous stirring and a solution that is similar to the mist.

Next, 0.85 wt. parts of borax and 0.36 wt. parts of potassium nitrate were dissolved by heating in 40 parts of purified water, followed by adding to the suspension. At the next stage was added 64 wt. part of the particles of silicon oxide, followed by stirring.

Obtaining acrylic acid or acrolein of propylene

In the present example used the same Novotrubny reactor, as shown in figure 1.

In particular, we used Novotrubny reactor having 10000 reaction tube of stainless steel, having a length of 3.5 m and an internal diameter of 27 mm

As the heat used a molten salt mixture of nitrates (nitrate)supplied from the lower part of the reactor and discharged from the upper part of the reactor to circulate.

The coolant is partially unloaded from 8b to cool, then return it to 8A. In this case, the temperature of the coolant fed to the reactor was regulated, and the temperature measured using a thermometer 15.

As for the catalyst, which filled each reaction tube, the catalyst, which was obtained by mixing the catalyst for the first half of the way and made of silicon oxide balls, which have no catalytic activity, with a diameter of 5.5 mm in a volume ratio of 7:3, was filled to the height of the filled layer in each reaction tube could be of 2.9 m

In addition, the calculated peak temperature and the peak position of the catalytic layer of maximum multipoint temperature thermometer used to measure temperature, and temperature, as measured at the positions before and after this position, using the quadratic function that passes through these three points.

On the basis of conditions (T=394°and X0=220 mm), the process continued, and the temperature was regulated so as to increase the peak temperature could be in the range of L×{|T-T 0|/(X-X0)}=60±10.

Comparative example

The process in the reactor began similar to a given example. 1 month after the start of the process the temperature of the coolant at the entrance was set at 335,0°C. At this time, the peak temperature of the catalytic layer was 388°C, the position of the peak was 230 mm from the entrance of the catalytic layer, the reaction rate of the conversion of raw materials propylene was 98.4% and the total yield of acrylic acid and acrolein was of 92.7%.

Based on the above-mentioned conditions (T0=388°and X0=230 mm) process food is reaped with the coolant temperature, regulated so that the reaction rate of the conversion of raw materials propylene could be of 98.2±0,3%.

After 11 months from the beginning of the process, the temperature of the coolant at the entrance was 336,2°C, the peak temperature of the catalytic layer was 393,0°C, the position of the peak was 260 mm (L×{|T-T0|/(X-X0)}=580) from the entrance of the catalytic layer and the total yield of acrylic acid and acrolein was 91,9%.
