Properties and stability
1. Low boiling flammable liquid with ether smell. The industrial product is a racemic mixture of two optical isomers. Propylene oxide is a flammable and explosive chemical and its vapors will decompose. Excessive amounts of acidic salts (such as tin chloride, zinc chloride), alkalis, and tertiary amines that may contaminate propylene oxide should be avoided. Non-corrosive to metals. Due to its effect on certain rubbers and plastics, care should be taken when selecting gaskets and valves. Due to its low boiling point, high volatility, flammability, and active chemical properties, care should be taken to prevent it from being close to sparks, static electricity, heat sources, acids, alkali, etc. Partially miscible with water [solubility in water at 20°C is 40.5% (weight); solubility of water in propylene oxide is 12.8% (weight)], miscible with ethanol and ether, and with methylene chloride, pentane, and pentene , cyclopentane, cyclopentene, etc. form a binary azeotrope.
2. It has extremely active chemical properties, especially it can react with compounds containing active hydrogen to generate various derivatives. For example, it reacts with water to form 1,2-propanediol; reacts with ammonia to form isopropanolamine; reacts with alcohol to form hydroxy ether; reacts with fatty acid to form hydroxy ester; reacts with hydrogen halide to form halohydrin; reacts with propylene glycol to form polypropylene glycol ; Oxidation generates acetic acid; reacts with glycerin to generate polyether triol; reacts with carboxylic acid to generate ester, etc. When it passes through pumice at 500°C, it is partially rearranged to produce acetone and propionaldehyde. It reacts with chlorine in anhydrous state to generate chloroacetone and 1-chloro-2-propanol. Acetic acid is produced during oxidation, and isopropanol is produced by reduction with sodium amalgam.

Storage method
1. Storage precautions [30] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. The storage temperature should not exceed 29°C. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
2. Propylene oxide is a low-boiling, flammable liquid. Its vapor can spontaneously ignite or explode in the air. It should be stored and transported according to the regulations on toxic and dangerous goods. Storage tanks and reactors should be covered with inert gas. The temperature and pressure of the container should be kept below 25°C and 0.3Mpa. Implement relevant fire and explosion safety measures. Storage and transportation containers should be made of stainless steel.
Synthesis method
1. Chlorohydrin method: Propylene, chlorine, and water are hypochlorous at normal pressure and 60°C to generate chloropropanol, which is then saponified, condensed, and distilled. Process flow: (1) Propylene hypochlorination: Pass propylene and chlorine into water respectively for gas-liquid phase reaction. The reaction temperature is 35-50°C, and the molar ratio of propylene to chlorine is (1.1-1.2): 1. Water and chlorine first react to form hypochlorous acid, and then propylene reacts with hypochlorous acid to form chloropropanol. In order to reduce side reactions and avoid the generation of dichloropropane, the concentration of chloropropanol should not be too high, generally not higher than 6%-7%; chlorine should not be excessive. In addition to excessive chlorine causing an increase in the by-product dichloroethane, it also There is a risk of explosion; when passing chlorine and propylene into the reactor, direct contact between the two gases should be avoided as much as possible. Generally, the chlorine gas inlet is located below the propylene inlet, and the water inlet is located at the bottom.
(2) Chloropropanol removal Hydrogen chloride reaction: Add water-containing chloropropanol into the saponification kettle, then add 10% lime milk, and stir to perform the saponification reaction. During the process, attention must be paid to the adding method of materials. If chloropropanol is added to lime milk, the resulting When propylene oxide is in an alkaline medium, it will hydrolyze to form propylene glycol. Therefore, for the dehydrochlorination of chloropropanol, alkali must be added to the chloropropanol to obtain the highest possible yield of propylene oxide. The propylene oxide formation reaction is immediately evaporated to avoid hydrolysis. (3) Purification of propylene oxide: After condensation, the steamed propylene oxide is sent to the distillation tower for distillation to obtain the finished product.
2. Direct oxidation method: It is produced by oxidizing propylene with oxygen or air under the action of silver catalysis.
3. Indirect oxidation method: ethylbenzene (or isobutane, cumene, etc.) is oxidized to produce ethylbenzene hydroperoxide (or tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide) Benzene, etc.), obtained by epoxidation reaction with propylene in the presence of catalysts such as molybdenum naphthenate.
4. Electrochemical chlorohydrin method: This method uses the principle of electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (or potassium chloride, sodium bromide, sodium iodide) to generate chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide. Propylene is introduced into the zone to generate chloropropanol. In the cathode zone, chloropropanol reacts with sodium hydroxide to generate propylene oxide.
5. Peroxide method: The main process is the production of organic hydrogen peroxide, and propylene is oxidized with peroxide. Whether the reaction is producing organic hydrogen peroxide or transferring the oxygen of the peroxide to propylene molecules in the presence of a catalyst, it is a liquid phase reaction. In addition to the main product propylene oxide, this method also has co-products. At present, the Haakon process of ethylbenzene and Haakon process of isobutane have been industrialized.
(1) Ethylbenzene Haakon method: ethylbenzene is used as raw material and oxidized to produce ethylbenzene hydroperoxide. Under the action of catalysts such as copper naphthenate, the propylene epoxidation reaction is performed to obtain propylene oxide. At the same time, α-phenylethyl alcohol is obtained, and styrene can be obtained after dehydration.
The reaction temperature of ethylbenzene oxidation is 130~150℃, the pressure is 0.07~0.14 MPa, the selectivity of generating ethylbenzene hydroperoxide is 90%, the epoxidation temperature is 50~120℃, the pressure is normal Pressure 0.1 ~ 0.864 MPa. For example, add 0.4% manganese naphthenate-sodium naphthenate (nMo /nNa=2, molar ratio) as the catalyst, reacted at 100°C for 1.5 h, and obtained the conversion rate of ethylbenzene hydroperoxide 99%, and the option of generating propylene oxide The property is 78%. The reaction product can be distilled to obtain the finished product propylene oxide, while α-phenylethyl alcohol is treated with TiO3-Al2O3As a catalyst, it is dehydrated at 250~280℃ and converted into styrene 100%, with a selectivity of 92%. The characteristics of this method are: low cost, economical and reasonable, less three wastes, and co-production of styrene.
(2) Isobutane Haakon process: It uses isobutane as raw material, reacts with propylene through the oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide to obtain propylene oxide and tert-butanol. The process is similar to the ethylbenzene Haakon process. similar. The preparation of tert-butyl hydroperoxide is at 100~110℃ without a catalyst. Usually tert-butyl hydroperoxide is used as a secondary initiator, and the reaction of propylene epoxidation isThe conditions are reaction temperature 121°C and pressure 4.1 MPa. It was carried out in the presence of molybdenum catalyst, the reaction time was 0.5 h, the yield of propylene oxide was 88% (calculated as peroxide), and the selectivity was 81%. This method can co-produce tert-butyl alcohol with a yield of about 60%.
