Application of Propylene Glycol Butyl Ether
Propylene glycol butyl ether acetate (PBA for short), belonging to glycol ether ester products, is an organic solvent with environmental protection, high efficiency and excellent performance, widely used in paints, coatings, printing inks, synthetic Resin, binder, textile printing and dyeing and leather tanning agent and other industries. Propylene glycol butyl ether acetate is mainly prepared from propylene glycol butyl ether and acetic acid under the action of an acid catalyst.
Currently commonly used acid catalysts include sulfuric acid, ferric chloride, etc., but they will corrode the equipment, the product after the reaction will be dark in color, the product and the catalyst are not easy to separate, and its dehydration and oxidative properties will also lead to a series of side reactions. Traditional water-carrying agents such as toluene are teratogenic and carcinogenic, and it is urgent to develop catalysts and production processes that are easy to separate, less corrosive, and environmentally friendly to meet the needs of industrial production. It is of great significance for the actual industrialization of this product to study the feasible production route of synthesizing propylene glycol butyl ether acetate, optimize the production process and reduce the cost.
CN201810446362.1 developed a solid acid catalytic system, providing a method for synthesizing propylene glycol butyl ether acetate with easy separation of catalyst and product, low corrosion to equipment, economical reaction, clean and pollution-free. The object of the present invention is achieved like this: take propylene glycol butyl ether and acetic acid as raw material, take sec-butyl acetate as water-carrying agent, under the effect of solid acid catalyst S2O82-/ZrO2-SnO2, synthetic propylene glycol butyl ether acetate.
S2O82-/ZrO2-SnO2 solid acid catalyst is used, which does not dissolve during the reaction, and can be separated by filtration after the reaction is completed, reducing energy consumption. There are few side reactions, the product is not easily colored, the conversion rate of propylene glycol butyl ether is as high as 98.73%, and the yield of propylene glycol butyl ether acetate is 95.55%. The catalyst has high activity and can be reused.
Antifreeze is designed and developed for winter building concrete construction. It can accelerate the condensation and hardening of concrete under negative temperature conditions. The strength increases significantly and does not affect the development of later strength. A single antifreeze is often not effective, and composite products are generally used. , Propylene glycol butyl ether compound antifreeze is a kind of antifreeze with good performance.
CN201210235468.X provides a method for preparing propylene glycol butyl ether composite antifreeze in batches. The agent uses propylene glycol butyl ether, urea, sodium carbonate, borax air-entraining agent, and pentaerythritol high-efficiency water reducer as raw materials, and uses a chemical reaction kettle as a container. Supplemented with appropriate temperature and reaction time to prepare propylene glycol butyl ether composite antifreeze, the raw material ratio used in the production of this product is: propylene glycol butyl ether 75%-77%, urea 12%-14%, sodium carbonate 3%, borax Air-entraining agent 4%, pentaerythritol superplasticizer 4%. A preparation method of propylene glycol butyl ether compound antifreeze is characterized in that it consists of the following steps:
(1) Send the formula amount of propylene glycol butyl ether into the chemical reaction kettle, raise the temperature to 38°C-40°C, stir, add the formula amount of urea and sodium carbonate into the reaction kettle, and stir for 30 minutes.
(2) Cool down to normal temperature, continue to stir, respectively add the formulated amount of borax air-entraining agent and pentaerythritol high-efficiency water reducer to the reaction kettle, stir and react for 15 minutes, then stop stirring to obtain the finished product.
(3) When in use, the propylene glycol butyl ether compound antifreeze agent can be mixed into the concrete at a dosage of 1%.
Preparation of Propylene Glycol Butyl Ether
The propylene oxide method is the method for the synthesis of propylene glycol butyl ether generally adopted in the industry at present, and there are methods such as the Williamson method and the acetal method in addition, and the latter is less applied to actual industrialization due to various problems. At present, the synthesis of propylene glycol butyl ether by propylene oxide method is mainly studied at home and abroad from the two aspects of reactor and catalyst.
Dow Chemical Company of the United States has developed an insoluble polymer catalyst containing positive phosphorus ions (PR4+); BPChemicals has developed a metal perfluorosulfonic acid polymer catalyst for catalyzing the addition reaction of propylene oxide and methanol; Li Zhisong and others used phosphomolybdate modified Al2O3 as a catalyst, and adopted a new synthesis process of catalytic rectification for the synthesis of propylene glycol monobutyl ether.
Traditional homogeneous acidic or alkaline catalysts are generally used in industry, but this has led to problems such as corrosive equipment and difficult separation of catalysts from products, especially solid acid catalysts have poor selectivity and many by-products. Therefore, urgently need us to develop a kind of catalyst of high activity, environmental friendliness, improve industrial technology level and product quality.
CN201710832738.8 provides a method for synthesizing propylene glycol butyl ether. This method avoids the problems of corrosive equipment caused by traditional homogeneous acidity or alkalinity as a catalyst, and the catalyst is difficult to separate from the product. The method has simple process and low energy consumption. Moreover, the catalyst is easy to separate, reusable, energy-saving and environment-friendly.
The purpose of the present invention is achieved in this way: add n-butanol and catalyst into the reactor, seal and stir, replace the air in the reactor with N2, heat up to the set temperature, slowly feed propylene oxide, and control the reactor The internal temperature is basically constant, and the pressure in the reactor is controlled at 0.20-0.50MPa. After the propylene oxide is fed into the set mass, the reaction is continued at the set temperature until the internal pressure of the reactor is constant and remains unchanged within 30 minutes. The reaction is over. After cooling and discharging, the propylene glycol butyl ether product is obtained.
The invention has the advantages that: after the solid base catalyst used in the reaction catalyzes the reaction, the conversion rate of propylene oxide and the productive rate of propylene glycol butyl ether are all higher than the traditional catalyst NaOH used in industry. At the same time, it avoids the problems of traditional homogeneous catalysts such as corrosion of equipment and difficult product treatment. It has the advantages of high catalytic activity, good selectivity, recyclable catalyst, mild reaction conditions, easy separation from products, low energy consumption and small environmental pollution. .
