production method | 1. direct catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride in the presence of palladium-alumina (or copper molybdate) catalyst, hydrogenation at 160 ℃ and 5.8MPa can produce succinic anhydride. The conversion rate was 98.8%. The selectivity of succinic anhydride is 100%. 2. Succinic acid dehydration method Succinic acid is heated to above 260 ℃, or a certain amount of tetrahydronaphthalene and toluene are added, and at the same time heated to above 200 ℃, succinic anhydride can be dehydrated. The content and yield of succinic anhydride prepared are about 90%. The dehydration process of succinic acid can also be carried out in the presence of dehydrating agent acetic anhydride, phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus oxychloride, etc. For example, succinic acid and phosphorus oxychloride are heated and refluxed to allow the hydrogen chloride gas to escape, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect the 160-165°C (5.33kPa) fraction, and the white block succinic anhydride is obtained after cooling. There are several preparation methods. (1) The maleic anhydride catalytic hydrogenation method uses maleic anhydride as raw material, under the catalysis of palladium/alumina under the pressure of 160 ℃ and 5.88 MPa, and can also use copper molybdate as catalyst, 1, 4-dioxane as solvent, and hydrogenation at 120~160 ℃ and 20.26 MPa pressure to obtain the product. Succinic acid is dehydrated at about 260 ℃ in ordinary rectification equipment to obtain the product. It can also be dehydrated with chemical dehydrating agents such as acetic anhydride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus pentoxide, etc., or a certain amount of tetrahydronaphthalene and toluene are added with succinic acid, and the product is dehydrated by heating at 200~212 ℃. |
