Abstract

The invention discloses a method and equipment for preparing terephthalic acid by the air oxidation of p-xylene. The method is as follows: in the reaction system in which an oxidation reactor is connected with a crystallization separator in series, p-xylene containing metalloporphyrin catalyst or the mixing catalyst of metalloporphyrin and metal salt, and air, oxygen-diluted air, rich oxygen air or air with carbon dioxide are fed in the oxidation reactor and stay for 70 minutes to 180 minutes in the reactor at the temperature of 140 DEG C to 200 DEG C. The oxidation reaction mixture enters into a crystallizer for crystallization by overflow or pumping. The p-xylene, p-toluic acid and p-methyl benzyl alcohol obtained by separation is pumped into the oxidation reactor to be mixed with the p-xylene containing metalloporphyrin catalyst for secondary oxidation, and the fine terephthalic acid is obtained by purification after crystallization. The invention has the advantages that the p-xylene is directly oxidized into terephthalic acid by air, the energy consumption is low, the production efficiency is high, and the conversion rate of p-xylene and the yield of terephthalic acid can achieve more than 95 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and equipment for preparing terephthalic acid by air oxidation of p-xylene, in particular to a method for preparing terephthalic acid by air oxidation of p-xylene using metal porphyrin or metal porphyrin and metal salt as a catalyst and equipment. technical background [0002] Terephthalic acid is the main raw material for the polyester industry. At present, the industry mainly produces terephthalic acid by liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of p-xylene. The method uses acetic acid as a solvent, cobalt acetate and manganese acetate as a catalyst, and bromide as a promoter, and oxidizes p-xylene with air at 180-200° C. and 14-16 MPa. The conversion rate of p-xylene and the content of terephthalic acid in the product both reach more than 95%. But this method uses acetic acid as solvent, the content is 80%, and the content of p-xylene is less than 20%, and production efficiency is low, and energy consumption is b...
