8. MIBK is used as anticoagulant and diluent of vinyl resin.
The traditional production method of MIBK is acetone three-step method. In the first step, two molecules of acetone generate one molecule of diacetone alcohol (DAA) under the action of alkaline catalyst; In the second step, a molecule of DAA is dehydrated under the action of acid catalyst to produce isopropylidene acetone (MO); In the third step, MO generates MIBK under the action of selective hydrogenation catalyst.
The specific reaction formula is as follows:
Step 1: 2CH3COH3 → (CH3) 2COHCH2COCH3 (1)
Step 2: (CH3) 2COHCH2COCH3 → (CH3) 2C=CHCOCH3+H2O (2)
Step 3: (CH3) 2C=CHCOCH3+H2 → (CH3) 2CH2COCH3 (3)
The technology of one-step synthesis of MIBK from acetone was industrialized in 1968. At the end of the 1960s, Germany Texaco developed a new type of catalyst, which has the functions of condensation dehydration and hydrogenation, so that the above three-step reaction is completed in one step. First, two molecules of acetone are condensed and dehydrated on the acid center of the catalyst to generate MO; Then, MO is rapidly hydrogenated at the hydrogenation center of the catalyst to generate MIBK. The reaction process can be expressed by the following formula: since the dual-functional catalyst has the functions of condensation dehydration and hydrogenation, there are also a small number of side reactions when the main reaction occurs. The main side reactions are as follows:
3CH3COCH3—→ C6H3(CH3)3+3H2O (5)
1,3,5-trimethyl benzene (TMB)
CH3COCH3+H2+(CH3)2CHCH2COCH3——→(CH3)2CHCH2COCH2CH(CH3)2(6)
Diisobutyl ketone (DIBK)
H2+(CH3)2CHCH2COCH3——→ (CH3)2CHCH2CH2CH3+H2O (7)
Literature 1 (Jinling Petrochemical, 1987 (5): 25) and 2 (Jinling Petrochemical, 1997, 3:14) of 2-methylpentane (2-MPA for short) introduced the production process of Hibernia Company in West Germany and Caoda Company in Deshan, Japan. The separation process in the production process of the two companies is basically the same, and both adopt the three-tower process, that is, the first tower is the acetone recovery tower, which recycles the excess acetone; The second tower is MIBK dehydration tower. The water generated by the reaction is azeotropic with MIBK, and the water is removed in the form of azeotrope; The third tower is the product tower, where the product comes from the top of the tower and the reconstituted component comes from the bottom of the tower.
