Problems solved by technology

[0004] All of the above catalytic reaction systems mostly adopt batch stirred tank reactor technology, which has disadvantages such as poor heat and mass transfer performance, low space-time yield, discontinuous process, and low safety.
The synthesis of cyclic carbonates from carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds is a strong exothermic and fast gas-liquid reaction (≈-96 kJ / mol), which is controlled by gas-liquid mass transfer. Therefore, the existing reaction process in the kettle is generally below 120 °C. It is operated for a long time (several hours or even more than ten hours), and the pressure in the kettle changes greatly during the reaction process, which makes process control difficult. In addition, the activity of the existing catalyst system is not high, so that the overall efficiency of the process is low.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing cyclic carbonate ester in a micro reactor system, which comprises the following steps of: firstly mixing a liquid material containing an epoxy compound and a catalyst with a gas material containing carbon dioxide in a micro mixer, and then synthesizing cyclic carbonate ester in a micro channel reactor through a cyclization reaction. For the method, the reaction temperature is 100-220 DEG C, the pressure is 1.0-7.0 MPa, the molar ratio of carbon dioxide to epoxy compound in the gas-liquid two-phase material is 1.0-5:1, the mass ratio of the epoxy compound to the catalyst is 1.0-1000:1, and the retention time of the gas-liquid two-phase material in the micro channel reactor is 1.0-300 s. The reaction system has quick mass transfer and heat transfer rates, continuous process, easiness in control, high process safety and high energy utilization ratio, and the space-time yield and the selectivity of the target product can be greatly increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing cyclic carbonate, in particular to a method for synthesizing cyclic carbonate in a microreactor system. Background technique [0002] Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas. As countries around the world pay more and more attention to it, its capture, storage and recycling technology has become the focus of world attention. People have been looking for solutions for the recycling of carbon dioxide, and the synthesis of cyclic carbonate compounds from carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds is one of the main ways to recycle carbon dioxide. Cyclic carbonate compounds are high-boiling-point and high-polarity organic solvents with excellent performance, and have been widely used in organic synthesis (synthesis of dimethyl carbonate, etc.), gas absorption, battery electrolyte and metal extraction and other fields. [0003] At present, most of the public reports on the synthesis of cyclic carbona...
