Problems solved by technology

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that in the prior art, the reaction process of cumene hydroperoxide and propylene epoxidation to propylene oxide has a higher reaction temperature rise and requires a higher reaction temperature to maintain a higher reaction efficiency. Problems such as the molar ratio of propylene and cumene hydroperoxide, provide a new method for producing propylene oxide

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing propylene oxide. The method is mainly used for solving the problem of relatively high reaction temperature rise and the problem that a relatively high molar ratio of propylene to cumyl hydroperoxide is needed for keeping relatively high reaction efficiency in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps: enabling raw materials namely cumyl hydroperoxide and a propylene liquid phase to enter a multi-section adiabatic reaction area with at least two sections, and performing contact reaction on the raw materials and a Ti-silicon dioxide catalyst to prepare propylene oxide under the conditions that the epoxidation reaction temperature is 15-160 DEG C, the pressure is 1.0-12.0MPa and a total molar ratio of propylene to cumyl hydroperoxide is 2-30, wherein the raw material namely cumyl hydroperoxide enters each catalyst bed layer of the multi-section adiabatic reaction area in a sectional mode; and an epoxidation reaction product containing propylene oxide, obtained from an outlet of the multi-section adiabatic reaction area, is partially circulated to an inlet of each catalyst bed layer of the multi-section adiabatic reaction area. By adopting such a technical scheme, the problem of relatively high reaction temperature rise and the problem that the relatively high molar ratio of propylene to cumyl hydroperoxide is needed for keeping relatively high reaction efficiency can be relatively well solved; and the method disclosed by the invention can be applied to the industrial production of preparing propylene oxide from cumyl hydroperoxide and propylene by virtue of epoxidation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing propylene oxide. Background technique [0002] Propylene oxide is an important basic chemical raw material and the third largest propylene derivative after polypropylene and acrylonitrile. It is mainly used in the production of polyether and propylene glycol. It is also the main raw material of the fourth-generation detergent non-ionic surfactant, oil field demulsifier, pesticide emulsifier, etc. Propylene oxide derivatives are widely used in industries such as automobiles, construction, food, tobacco, medicine and cosmetics. Nearly 100 kinds of downstream products have been produced, which are important raw materials for fine chemical products. [0003] The traditional production process of propylene oxide is the chlorohydrin process, which includes three steps: chloroalcoholization of propylene and hypochlorous acid solution, saponification of chloropropanol and milk of lime, and product refi...
