production method | heptanal is produced by carbonylation of 1-hexene with synthesis gas (CO H2) and then by air oxidation. heptanal was prepared from heptene -1 and synthesis gas by carbonylation, and then heptanoic acid was obtained by air oxidation. First, 1-heptene synthesis gas (carbon monoxide + hydrogen), recycle gas and catalyst solution are fed into the carbonylation reactor at 94-150 ℃ and 1.30MPa; the aldehydes were separated from the reaction product by reduced pressure flash distillation, and the catalyst and the reconstituted fraction could be recycled. The aldehydes are then fed to an oxidative conductor for oxidation in air at a pressure of less than 0.69MPa in a mixed transition metal catalyst system. Where the aldehyde is almost completely converted, separation and recycling is not required. After removing the trace catalyst contained in the obtained product, the product is sent to a two-column rectification system to remove the reconstituted fraction (which can be used as fuel) in the first column, and the top material is sent to the second column to obtain the product branched acid. |
