The present invention relates to a method for producing xylenes, and more particularly to a method for producing xylenes from toluene and benzene with high selectivity by using fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate as a catalyst. Various methods have been known for producing xylenes, which are extremely useful industrially, by methylating toluene or benzene. 57688, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 120292/1983) and a method using crystalline borosilicate (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1982-120292)
55500), etc. have been reported. However, the method using crystalline aluminosilicate has the problem that the selectivity of xylene decreases because the disproportionation reaction occurs simultaneously with the methylation reaction, and the method using crystalline borosilicate has the problem that the selectivity of xylene decreases.
The methylating agent is not effectively used in the methylation reaction,
There is a problem in that a large amount of byproducts are produced due to side reactions other than the methylation reaction. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted extensive research in order to develop a method that can overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional techniques and produce xylenes with high selectivity. As a result, they discovered that the selectivity of xylenes and the conversion rate of toluene and benzene as raw materials can be improved by using crystalline borosilicate containing fluorine as a catalyst, and have completed the present invention. That is, the present invention provides a method for producing xylenes, which comprises using fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate as a catalyst in producing xylenes by methylating toluene or benzene in the presence of a catalyst. It is something. The catalyst used in the method of the present invention is, as mentioned above, a fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate, which is generally obtained by subjecting it to a fluorination treatment. Various types of crystalline borosilicate can be used here, such as those disclosed in JP-A-53-55500;
JP-A-55-7598, JP-A-56-84313,
Examples include crystalline borosilicate described in JP-A-57-123817 and JP-A-57-129820. There are various methods for preparing these crystalline borosilicic acids, but generally they can be prepared by adding various silica sources, boron sources, and crystallizing agents to an aqueous medium and carrying out a hydrothermal reaction. For example, ammonium type crystalline borosilicate is prepared as follows. That is, first, an aqueous solution containing boric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, and tetrapropylammonium bromide (solution A), an aqueous solution of water glass consisting of silicon oxide, sodium hydroxide, and water (solution B), and an aqueous sodium chloride solution (solution C) were prepared, respectively. Then, solutions A and B are added dropwise to solution C, the pH of the mixed solution is adjusted as necessary, and this is heated in an autoclave. Thereafter, crystalline sodium borosilicate is obtained through cooling, washing, drying and firing processes. Further, the obtained crystalline sodium borosilicate is treated with an aqueous ammonium nitrate solution to obtain ammonium-type borosilicate. The borosilicate thus obtained is in powder form, but it can also be molded by adding a binder such as alumina sol. If the crystalline borosilicate obtained by the above method is used as a catalyst as it is, the selectivity for xylenes will not be sufficient and it will be difficult to maintain high catalytic activity for a long period of time during the reaction. Can not. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, such a crystalline borosilicate is subjected to a fluorination treatment to obtain a fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate as a catalyst. This fluorination treatment can be carried out by various methods, and in short, any treatment that introduces fluorine into the crystalline borosilicate to produce a fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate is sufficient. Specifically, crystalline borosilicate is contacted with an organic fluorine compound such as chlorofluorocarbon gas at 400 to 600°C, or treated with hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride, boron trifluoride,
Possible methods include contact treatment with monofluoroacetic acid or the like in a liquid phase. There are various kinds of fluorocarbon gases, including fluorocarbon-11 (CFCl 3 ), fluorocarbon-12 (CFCl 2 ), fluorocarbon-13 (CF 3 Cl), and fluorocarbon-21.
(CHFCl 2 ), Freon-22 (CHFCl), Freon-23
(CHF 3 ), Freon 113 (CF 2 ClCFCl 2 ), Freon-
114 (CF 2 ClCF 2 Cl) etc.
Alternatively, when preparing crystalline borosilicate,
In addition to a silica source, a boron source, etc., a fluorine source can be added at the stage of the hydrothermal reaction to make the crystalline borosilicate contain fluorine. In this case, the fluorine source is
Liquid ones such as hydrofluoric acid and sodium fluoride are preferred. The fluorine-containing crystalline borosilicate obtained by the above treatment is molded as it is or with the addition of a suitable binder such as alumina, and then heated at 550 to 1000°C.
The baked peaches are used as a catalyst for the methylation reaction, that is, the reaction for producing xylenes. The raw material compound used in this methylation reaction is toluene, benzene, or a mixture thereof, while the methylating agent is not particularly limited, but examples include methanol, dimethyl ether, methyl chloride, methyl bromide, etc., especially methanol. is preferred. The amount of the methylating agent to be used may be determined as appropriate depending on the type of raw material compound or reaction conditions, but usually the ratio of the raw material compound toluene or benzene to the methylating agent is 1:10 to 1:1. 20:1
(molar ratio), preferably 1:2 to 5:1 (molar ratio)
shall be. The method of the present invention may be carried out using toluene or benzene as a raw material, an appropriate methylating agent, and the above-mentioned catalyst, and other conditions are not particularly limited. If we show the general conditions,
Reaction temperature: 350 to 650°C, preferably 400 to 600°C, reaction pressure: normal pressure to 10 Kg/cm 2 G, weight hourly space velocity (WHSV): 0.1 to 20 hr -1 , preferably 0.5 to 10 hr -1
It is. According to the method of the present invention as described above, there are few side reactions such as suppression of decomposition of the methylating agent, and as a result, the conversion rate of toluene and the selectivity of xylene are improved. At the same time, since the catalyst has a very long life, continuous operation can be performed while maintaining high catalyst activity for a long period of time. Therefore, the method of the present invention is extremely advantageous and has high utility value as an industrial method for producing xylene. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples.
