Description

Process for the preparation of diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series with improved 2,4-MDA selectivity
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of diamines and polyamines of diphenylmethane series, in particular to a preparation method of diamines and polyamines of diphenylmethane series, which improves the selectivity of 2,4-MDA
Background
The di-and polyamines (DAM) of the diphenylmethane series are understood to mean the following types of amines and mixtures of amines:
here, n represents a natural number of 0 or more, and n=0 is referred to as diaminodiphenylmethane, abbreviated as diamine; n is n>At 0, the polyamine-based polyphenylmethanes, simply referred to as polyamines, and mixtures of these two types are referred to as diamines and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series. Wherein NH in DAM 2 The products derived from the substitution of the groups entirely by NCO groups are diisocyanates of the diaminodiphenylmethane series, polyisocyanates of the diaminodiphenylmethane series or polyisocyanate of the diiminopolyphenylene polymethylene series or diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diaminodiphenylmethane series (hereinafter referred to as MDI) which are used for the production of polyurethanes.
Methods for the preparation of DAM are generally well known in the art and are described in A number of published patents and publications, such as U.S. Pat. No. 2009/024777, EP-A-451442 and WO-A-99/40059, where DAM is prepared by A continuous, semi-continuous or discontinuous reaction process, typically using aniline to react with hydrochloric acid to form aniline hydrochloride, followed by addition of formaldehyde to the reactor to form DAM hydrochloride, followed by neutralization, water washing and separation of the organic and inorganic phases to give crude DAM, purification to give DAM, and phosgenation to give monomeric or polymeric MDI.
In conventional large-scale industrial production processes, all aimed at the production of highly selective 4, 4-methylenedianiline (4, 4-MDA), as in JP 2012 131720a, relates to a process for producing methylenedianiline derivatives (MDA derivatives) in the presence of a zeolite catalyst in high yield and high selectivity to 4,4 MDA; JP 2013 095724a relates to a process for preparing aromatic polyamines in high yield in the presence of a zeolite catalyst, wherein 4,4 MDA can be obtained with high selectivity; CN 114829000a provides a method for heterogeneous synthesis of methylenedianiline involving a catalytic material that can achieve high 4,4-MDA isomer molar ratios.
Since 2,4-MDA is the main component in the preparation of MDI-50, the isomer ratio in DAM directly affects the MDI-50 production. However, in the prior art, the technical solutions disclosed in the above documents cannot effectively prepare DAM with high selectivity of 2,4-MDA, and further cannot regulate the content of 2,4-MDA isomer according to the requirement of downstream products.
