Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, among the synthetic methods of glycol ether compounds, the Williamson synthetic method is the most commonly used, which is also the method adopted in industrial scale production, but this method is organic synthesis, which easily produces a large amount of sodium chloride or sodium sulfate. Pollution to a certain extent, difficult post-processing, and certain limitations to industrial production
Catalytic synthesis of ethylene glycol diether compounds is an important method, but most products are mainly ethylene glycol monoether, such as the ring-opening etherification of ethylene oxide, using niobium oxide as a catalyst, The conversion rate of diol is greater than 99%, and the selectivity of ethylene glycol monoether is greater than 82% (CN101190876B); the ethylene glycol monoether is prepared by using titanium silicon molecular sieves to catalyze the one-step reaction of ethylene, hydrogen peroxide and low-carbon alcohols, Selectivity greater than 75% (CN102452908A), low diether selectivity

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of preparing glycol dimethyl ether through continuous etherification in a fixed bed. In the method, with industrial ethylene glycol and industrial methanol as raw materials and with a solid acid catalyst, the glycol dimethyl ether is continuously prepared through the fixed bed, wherein the molar ratio of the ethylene glycol to the methanol is 0.02-10, the reaction temperature is 100-400 DEG C, the reaction pressure is 0.1-10 MPa and liquid space velocity is 0.3-2 / h. The method reaches more than 90% in conversion of the ethylene glycol and more than 74% in selectivity on the glycol dimethyl ether. The method is simple in processes, is high in product selectivity and is suitable for further large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, in particular to a method for preparing ethylene glycol dimethyl ether through fixed-bed continuous etherification. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol diether products are oxygen-containing compounds with high cetane number and energy density, miscibility with diesel oil, stable performance and good ignition performance, so they are potential oxygen-containing ether liquid fuels. As an important compound in ethylene glycol diether products, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether has excellent performance. Compared with ethanol, its boiling point is similar to that of ethanol, but its energy density is nearly twice that of ethanol (35MJ / L), equivalent to gasoline; meanwhile, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether has a higher cetane number, and its energy density is equivalent to that of diesel. Therefore, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether has broad application prospects as a dies...
