아크릴산의 제조방법{METHOD FOR PREPARING ACRYLIC ACID}Production Method of Acrylic Acid {METHOD FOR PREPARING ACRYLIC ACID}

본 발명은 아크롤레인의 생성 없이 글리세롤 또는 글리세롤 수용액을 탈수반응, 산화반응 및 탈수반응시켜 아크릴산을 제조할 수 있는 아크릴산의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for producing acrylic acid which can produce acrylic acid by dehydration, oxidation reaction and dehydration reaction of glycerol or aqueous solution of glycerol without production of acrolein.

일반적으로, 아크릴산은 프로필렌의 분자상 산소 함유 가스에 접촉 기상 산화반응시켜 제조되는 방법이 공업적으로 널리 행해지고 있다. 구체적으로, 프로필렌을 분자상 산소 함유 가스에 의해 기상 산화시켜 주로 아크롤레인을 제조하는 전단공정 및 상기 아크롤레인을 포함하는 반응가스를 다시 산화시켜 아크릴산을 제조하는 후단공정으로 이루어지는 2단계 반응에 의해 아크릴산이 제조되고 있다.In general, a method of producing acrylic acid by catalytic gas phase oxidation reaction of a molecular oxygen-containing gas of propylene is widely used industrially. Specifically, acrylic acid is produced by a two-step reaction consisting of a front-end process for producing acrolein mainly by gas phase oxidation of propylene with a molecular oxygen-containing gas and a post-step process for producing acrylic acid by oxidizing the reaction gas containing the acrolein again. It is becoming.

그러나, 프로필렌을 분자상 산소 함유 가스에 의해 산화시키는 전단공정에 있어서, 아크롤레인을 생성하는 주반응 외에 부반응이 일어나 테레프탈산, 말레인산 등과 같은 유기산, 고비점 화합물, 타르상 화합물 등과 같은 부생성물이 생성된다. 이들 부생성물에 의해 반응장치가 오염되고, 심한 경우에는 탄화물 등과 같은 퇴적물이 생성되어, 압력손실이 증가하거나 반응관의 폐색이 일어나 정상적인 조업이 곤란해지거나, 제품 품질의 저하 등과 같은 문제가 발생한다. However, in the shearing step in which propylene is oxidized by a molecular oxygen-containing gas, side reactions occur in addition to the main reaction to generate acrolein, thereby producing by-products such as organic acids such as terephthalic acid and maleic acid, high boiling point compounds, and tar phase compounds. These by-products contaminate the reaction apparatus and, in severe cases, deposits such as carbides are generated, which causes problems such as increased pressure loss or blockage of the reaction tube, making normal operation difficult or degrading product quality. .

이에, 이들 부생성물을 제거하기 위한 정제수단을 마련하려면, 그 설비비용이 커져 제조비용의 상승을 초래하게 된다. 나아가서는, 아크롤레인을 비롯한 반응성이 높은 화합물에 의한 후반응도 발생할 수 있다.Therefore, in order to provide a refining means for removing these by-products, the cost of the equipment becomes large, resulting in an increase in the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, post-reaction with highly reactive compounds, including acrolein, may also occur.

반면, 글리세롤을 이용하여 아크릴산을 제조하는 방법이 공지되어 있다. 구체적으로 글리세롤을 2번 연속으로 탈수 반응시킨 후, 1번의 산화반응을 시켜 아크릴산을 제조하는 방법에 관한 것이다.On the other hand, a method for producing acrylic acid using glycerol is known. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method of producing acrylic acid by performing a dehydration reaction two times in succession, followed by one oxidation reaction.

상기와 같은 방법으로 글리세롤을 이용하여 아크릴산으로 제조하는 경우, 글리세롤이 2번 연속적으로 탈수반응되어 생성된 아크롤레인으로 인해 아크릴산의 정제공정에서 증류탑 하부나 증류탑의 리보일러에 고분자가 생성되어 정상적인 조업이 불가능해지기도 한다. 또한, 아크릴산 반응관의 폐색이 일어나고, 아크릴산의 회수과정에서 아크롤레인을 제거하기 위한 별도의 장치, 예를 들어 탈기탑이 따로 필요한 단점이 있다. In the case of producing acrylic acid using glycerol in the same manner as described above, due to the acrolein produced by the dehydration reaction of glycerol two times in succession, polymers are produced at the bottom of the distillation column or the reboiler of the distillation column due to the acrolein produced. It may be done. In addition, the blockage of the acrylic acid reaction tube occurs, there is a disadvantage that a separate device for removing acrolein, for example, a degassing column is separately required in the recovery process of acrylic acid.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 아크릴산의 제조과정 중 아크롤레인이 생성되지 않아 추후 아크롤레인을 제거하기 위한 추가공정 장치가 요구되지 않고, 제조비용을 절감하고, 제조설비 규모를 줄일 수 있는 아크릴산의 제조방법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, the present invention does not require acrolein during the manufacturing process of acrylic acid, and thus does not require an additional process device for removing acrolein later, and thus reduces manufacturing cost and reduces the size of manufacturing facilities. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method.

본 발명은 a) 글리세롤 또는 글리세롤 수용액을 탈수반응시켜 제1생성물을 얻는 단계; b) 상기 a) 단계에서 수득된 제1생성물을 산화반응시켜 제2생성물을 얻는 단계; 및 c) 상기 b) 단계에서 수득된 제2생성물을 탈수반응시켜 아크릴산을 얻는 단계를 포함하는 아크릴산의 제조방법을 제공한다.The present invention comprises the steps of a) dehydrating glycerol or aqueous solution of glycerol to obtain a first product; b) oxidizing the first product obtained in step a) to obtain a second product; And c) dehydrating the second product obtained in step b) to obtain acrylic acid.

본 발명에 따른 아크릴산의 제조방법은 아크릴산의 제조과정 중 아크롤레인이 생성되지 않아 추후 아크롤레인을 제거하기 위한 추가공정 장치가 요구되지 않고, 제조비용을 절감하고, 제조설비 규모를 줄일 수 있다. The method for producing acrylic acid according to the present invention does not produce acrolein during the production of acrylic acid, and thus does not require an additional process device for removing acrolein later, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and reducing the size of manufacturing facilities.

본 발명에 따른 아크릴산의 제조방법은 a) 글리세롤 또는 글리세롤 수용액을 탈수반응시켜 제1생성물을 얻는 단계; b) 상기 a) 단계에서 수득된 제1생성물을 산화반응시켜 제2생성물을 얻는 단계; 및 c) 상기 b) 단계에서 수득된 제2생성물을 탈수반응시켜 아크릴산을 얻는 단계를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다. Acrylic acid production method according to the present invention comprises the steps of a) obtaining a first product by dehydrating glycerol or aqueous solution of glycerol; b) oxidizing the first product obtained in step a) to obtain a second product; And c) dehydrating the second product obtained in step b) to obtain acrylic acid.

본 발명에 있어서, 상기 글리세롤 수용액은 물의 함량이 50 중량% 이하인 것이 바람직하고, 물의 함량이 30 중량% 이하이면 더 바람직하다. 물의 함량이 50 중량%를 넘으면 기화하기 위해 사용되는 에너지가 다량 필요하고, 배수처리에도 막대한 비용이 들기 때문에 아크릴산 제조방법을 공업화 하기에 비효율적이다.In the present invention, the aqueous glycerol solution is preferably 50% by weight or less, more preferably 30% by weight or less. If the water content is more than 50% by weight, a large amount of energy used to vaporize is required, and the drainage treatment is expensive, which is inefficient for industrializing the acrylic acid production method.

본 발명에 있어서, 상기 a) 단계의 탈수반응에 의해 하이드록시 프로피온알데히드를 포함하는 제1생성물을 얻고, 상기 b) 단계의 산화반응에 의해 하이드록시 프로피온산을 포함하는 제2생성물을 얻으며, 상기 제2생성물을 탈수반응시켜 아크릴산을 얻을 수 있다. In the present invention, a first product containing hydroxy propionaldehyde is obtained by the dehydration reaction of step a), and a second product containing hydroxy propionic acid is obtained by the oxidation reaction of step b), 2 The product can be dehydrated to obtain acrylic acid.

그러나, 본 발명에 따른 아크릴산의 제조방법은 탈수반응을 연속으로 행하지 않고, 산화반응과 번갈아 행함으로써, 종래와 달리 아크롤레인을 생성시키지 않은 장점이 있다. However, the method for producing acrylic acid according to the present invention has the advantage of not generating acrolein, unlike the prior art, by alternately performing the dehydration reaction with the oxidation reaction.

구체적으로 종래와 같이 탈수반응을 연속적으로 행하는 단계를 포함하는 아크릴산의 제조방법에서는 첫번째 탈수반응에서 HOCH2-CH=CH2OH이 생성되는데, 이는 호변이성(tautomerism)에 의해 CHO-CH2-CH2OH(하이드록시 프로피온알데히드)로 변한다. 상기 첫번째 탈수반응에서 생성된 하이드록시 프로피온알데히드는 탈수반응을 한번 더 거쳐 아크롤레인으로 변하게 되고, 상기 아크롤레인을 산화시키면 아크릴산을 얻게 된다. Specifically, in the method for producing acrylic acid, which includes continuously performing a dehydration reaction as in the related art, HOCH 2 -CH = CH 2 OH is generated in the first dehydration reaction, which is CHO-CH 2 -CH due to tautomerism. 2 OH (hydroxy propionaldehyde). The hydroxy propionaldehyde produced in the first dehydration reaction is converted to acrolein through one more dehydration reaction, and oxidizing the acrolein gives acrylic acid.

그러나, 본 발명에서는 탈수반응을 한번만 해서 하이드록시 프로피온알데히드를 얻은 다음 상기 하이드록시 프로피온알데히드를 산화시켜 하이드록시 프로피 온산(CH2OH-CH2-COOH)을 얻고 이것을 탈수반응시켜 아크릴산을 얻는다. 따라서, 본 발명에서는 아크롤레인을 생성시키지 않아 추후 아크롤레인을 제거하기 위한 추가공정 장치가 요구되지 않고, 제조비용을 절감하고, 제조설비 규모를 줄일 수 있다.However, in the present invention, hydroxy propionaldehyde is obtained by dehydration only once, and then hydroxy propionaldehyde is oxidized to obtain hydroxy propionic acid (CH 2 OH-CH 2 -COOH), which is dehydrated to obtain acrylic acid. Therefore, the present invention does not generate acrolein, so that no further processing apparatus for removing acrolein is required later, and manufacturing cost can be reduced and manufacturing equipment scale can be reduced.

According to the acrylic acid production method of the present invention, after carrying out the dehydration reaction of glycerol or aqueous solution of glycerol, the gaseous reaction product produced by the dehydration reaction is subjected to the gas phase oxidation reaction, and then dehydration reaction can be performed to obtain acrylic acid.

예를 들면, 연결한 3개의 반응관을 가진 탠덤(tandem)형 반응기를 이용할 수 있다. 구체적으로 각 3개의 반응관에서 있어서, 탈수반응용 촉매가 채워진 탈수반응기에서 탈수반응이 일어나고; 상기 탈수반응기와 연결되고 산화반응용 촉매가 채워진 산화반응기에서, 상기 탈수반응기에 생성된 생성물이 이송되어 산화반응이 일어나며; 상기 산화반응에 의해 생성된 반응물이 상기 산화반응기와 연결되어 탈수 반응용 촉매가 채워진 탈수반응기에 이송되어 탈수반응이 이루어질 수 있다. For example, a tandem reactor with three connected reaction tubes can be used. Specifically, in each of the three reaction tubes, dehydration reaction occurs in the dehydration reactor filled with the catalyst for dehydration reaction; In an oxidation reactor connected to the dehydration reactor and filled with a catalyst for oxidation reaction, a product generated in the dehydration reactor is transferred to cause an oxidation reaction; The reactant produced by the oxidation reaction may be connected to the oxidation reactor and transferred to a dehydration reactor filled with a catalyst for dehydration reaction to perform a dehydration reaction.

또한, 1개의 반응관을 가진 싱글형 반응기를 사용할 수도 있다. 상기 싱글형 반응관의 반응가스 입출구 측에 탈수반응용 촉매를 충전하고, 반응관의 중앙측에 산화반응용 촉매를 충전하여, 반응관이 입구에서부터 출구까지 차례로 탈수반응, 산화반응 및 탈수반응을 행하는 형태를 사용할 수 있다. 상기 반응기에서 나오는 아크릴산은 기체 상태이므로 흡수탑에서 액체상태의 아크릴산으로 만들고, 물분리탑에서 공비증류제를 사용하여 물분리탑 상부로는 물과 공비증류제를, 물분리탑 하부로는 실질적으로 아크릴산만을 얻을 수 있다. 이후에 통상적인 증류법을 이용해 아크릴산의 순도를 높이거나, 결정화 장치를 이용해 보다 순도 높은 아크릴산을 얻을 수 있다.It is also possible to use a single reactor with one reaction tube. The reaction gas inlet and outlet side of the single type reaction tube is filled with a catalyst for dehydration reaction, and an oxidation reaction catalyst is charged at the center side of the reaction tube, so that the reaction tube sequentially undergoes dehydration, oxidation and dehydration from the inlet to the outlet. The form to perform can be used. Since acrylic acid from the reactor is a gaseous state, it is made of acrylic acid in a liquid state in an absorption tower, and an azeotropic distillation agent is used in the water separation tower, and water and an azeotropic distillation agent is substantially above the water separation tower, and substantially below the water separation tower. Only acrylic acid can be obtained. Thereafter, the purity of acrylic acid may be increased by using a conventional distillation method, or higher purity acrylic acid may be obtained by using a crystallization apparatus.
