Definitions
- the present invention refers to a process for decomposition of a cyclic alkyl ether, which in its cyclic structure comprises a 1 ,3-dioxa group.
- Such cyclic diethers are reaction products between at least one alcohol and at least one aldehyde and are substantially cyclic acetals, such as 1 ,3-dioxolanes, 1 ,3-dioxanes and 1 ,3,5-trioxepanes, whereby acetal designates an organic dialkoxy compound (alkyl diether) - R ⁇ mpps Chemie-Lexikon 8. Aufl. 1981 - and whereby cyclic acetal accordingly designates an organic cyclic dialkoxy compound (cyclic alkyl diether).
- Di, tri and polyalcohols having a neopentyl structure such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane and pentaerythritol are normally synthesised in an alkali catalysed aldolcondensation of formaldehyde and a second aldehyde. Yielded aldolaldehyde is then reduced to corresponding alcohol by means of a so called Cannizzaro reaction with a further amount of formaldehyde in the presence of a strong base. The reaction can alternatively be carried out by means of catalytic hydration. The synthesis as well as a recovery of obtained reaction product yield normally secondary products such as acetals.
- a neopentyl structure such as neopentyl glycol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane and pentaerythritol are normally synthesised in an alkali catalysed ald
- the syntheses yield primarily linear acetals, which when exposed to acidic treatment, for instance when passing an ion exchanger, during the recovery are transformed into cyclic acetals, such as 1 ,3-dioxanes.
- This kind of synthesis can be exemplified by below processes, wherein pentaerythritol and neopentyl glycol are synthesised.
- Pentaerythritol can for instance be synthesised in an aldolcondensation according to above, wherein 3 moles of formaldehyde and 1 mole of isobutyric aldehyde are reacted to yield trimethylolacetaldehyde, followed by a Cannizzaro reaction with 1 further mole of formaldehyde in the presence of 1 equivalent of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
- Neopentyl glycol can be synthesised accordingly by aldolcondensation of 1 mole of formaldehyde and 1 mole of isobutyric aldehyde yielding hydroxypivaldehyde, which then is reduced by means of 1 further mole of formaldehyde according to above or by catalytic hydration.
- Cyclic acetals are also yielded during recovery if a synthesised di, tri or polyalcohol under acidic conditions is in contact with an aldehyde. This occurs for instance during an evaporation procedure, wherein water and excess of aldehyde, such as formaldehyde, are evaporated. Formation of acetals occurs when a 1 ,3-diol structure in the di, tri or polyalcohol reacts with for instance formaldehyde to corresponding 1 ,3-dioxane.
- Cyclic 1 ,3-diethers as disclosed above are also yielded during other polyalcohol syntheses, such as acid catalysed etherification, as disclosed in for instance the U.S. Patent 3,673,226.
- Cyclic diethers such as acetals can also be obtained by direct reaction between a di, tri or polyalcohol and an aldehyde. These reactions can be exemplified by 1 ,3-dioxolane (glycol formal) which is yielded when a mixture comprising formaldehyde, ethylene glycol and an acid catalyst is heated and by 1 ,3,5-trioxepane, a cyclic glycol formal having 2 oxymethylene groups, which is yielded when a mixture of 1 ,3-dioxolane, formaldehyde and an acid catalyst is heated. Glycerol can similarly yield acetals, such as 4-hydroxymethyl- l ,3- dioxolane and 5-hydroxy- l ,3-dioxane
- Linear acetals are normally easy to decomposed, for instance by treating a diluted aqueous solution with a strong acid, optionally in the presence of a lower alcohol added to improve the solubility of the acetal.
- Cyclic acetals comprising a 1 ,3-dioxa group are, however, normally very difficult to decompose. This is especially valid for acetals wherein included di, tri or polyalcohol is 2- or 2,2-substituted.
- An acetal having a 1 ,3-dioxa group is thermodynamically favoured by a very stable structure.
- the present invention refers to a process for decomposition of cyclic acetals being difficult to decompose as discussed above.
- the process comprises above disclosed acidic decomposition and a simultaneously performed catalytic hydrogenation, whereby liberated aldehyde is removed from the equilibrium by means of a reaction yielding corresponding alcohol, such as formaldehyde yielding methanol, according to reaction scheme (B) below, which is a continuation of reaction scheme (A):
- the invention is suitable for processing of for instance secondary product mixture obtained during a di, tri or polyalcohol synthesis and/or during processing of thereby obtained reaction solutions and mixtures, which secondary product mixture comprises at least one of said cyclic diethers, cyclic acetals, being difficult to decompose and which diether comprises a 1 ,3-dioxa group.
- the decomposition process according to the invention can of course also be used for decomposition of said diethers obtained or produced by other means.
- the decomposition increases, in case the di, tri or polyalcohol yielded from the decomposition is the same product as the one used in the original synthesis, the yield of said original synthesis.
- the liberated di, tri or polyalcohol can also be used as raw material in the original synthesis. In such a case, the decomposition also increases the yield in that the liberated alcohol can be re-circulated.
- Decomposition of cyclic formals yields methanol.
- Methanol can after recovery be used in for instance the production of formaldehyde, which is an important raw material in the production of a large number of di, tri and polyalcohols as disclosed above.
- Decomposition of cyclic acetals of higher aldehydes yields higher alcohols.
- Such a higher alcohol is, should it contain two or more hydroxyl groups, of the same importance as component in for instance esters, polyesters, ethers, polyethers, polyurethanes, synthetic lubricants and similar monomeric or polymeric products as said liberated di, tri or polyalcohols.
- a cyclic alkyl ether which in its cyclic structure comprises a 1 ,3 -dioxa group, such as cyclic diethers of the acetal type
- an aqueous solution or an aqueous suspension comprising at least one cyclic diether is pH adjusted to a pH value of 1-6, preferably 1-4.
