The present invention relates to an improved method for producing methyl methacrylate or methyl acrylate by reacting methacrolein or acrolein with methanol and molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalyst containing Pd metal or a Pd alloy. As a method for producing industrially useful methyl methacrylate or methyl acrylate, a new route (that is, a process that can also be called an oxidative esterification reaction) has been developed to produce methacrolein or acrolein all at once using methanol and molecular oxygen. It has been in the spotlight recently. This method has shorter steps and higher yield than the previously proposed two-step method of converting aldehyde to acid and then to ester, and is of great significance as a new method for producing industrially useful polymer raw materials. It is something that you have. Such a process is carried out by reacting methacrolein or acrolein with molecular oxygen in an excess of methanol.
The presence of a catalyst containing Pd is essential. Reaction at 150℃
Preferably, the process proceeds at a sufficient rate even at a low temperature of 30°C to 90°C, and the selectivity to the methyl ester based on methacrolein or acrolein is
It shows a high value of over 90%. However, as is clear from the inventions disclosed in JP-A-57-50941 and JP-A-57-50942, this reaction requires a low concentration of methacrolein or acrolein of about 4 to 10%. The drawback was that productivity per unit was low. Improving the productivity per reactor reduces the amount of expensive Pd used, which is of great significance from an economic standpoint. However, in order to reduce the amount of Pd used per reactor, methacrolein or acrolein was
When attempting to achieve a high conversion rate by conducting the reaction at a high concentration of 30% to 30%, a rapid decrease in the reaction rate is observed, as will be explained later, even though a high selectivity is obtained, which is almost unchanged. There was a problem that the conversion rate did not improve. For this reason, it has not necessarily been successful in increasing the productivity of the methyl ester. The present inventors have intensively investigated a method for improving the productivity of methyl methacrylate or methyl acrylate in the presence of methanol and a catalyst containing Pd metal or Pd alloy, and found that the water generated during the reaction affects the reaction rate. It was discovered that this had a significant effect, and this was the beginning of the present invention. When reacting methacrolein or acrolein at a high concentration of 20% to 38% by weight with methanol and molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalyst containing Pd metal or Pd alloy, the water in the reaction system is reduced to 3.5% by weight or less. This is an improved method for producing methyl methacrylate or methyl acrylate, characterized in that the reaction is carried out while removing the methyl methacrylate or acrylate. In the method of the present invention, it is important to carry out the reaction while removing the water produced by the reaction and the water supplied to the reaction system together with the raw materials. Preferably, the water in the reaction system is removed during the entire reaction period. Water is removed to keep the content below 3.5% by weight. Table 1 shows the influence of the water content in the reaction system on the production of methyl methacrylate when methyl methacrylate is produced using methacrolein, methanol, and molecular oxygen. Although a rigorous analysis is not sufficient as to why such a small amount of water suppresses the production of the methyl ester, the present inventors speculate that water acts as a catalyst in the reaction. This phenomenon is thought to strongly adsorb to palladium and suppress the progress of the main reaction, and is a phenomenon that is always observed in the reaction if the catalyst contains O-valent Pd, regardless of the type of other metals in the system. I found that. Such findings were completely unexpected. According to this method, in addition to improving the productivity of the methyl ester and reducing the amount of Pd used, it is possible to set a high concentration of methacrolein or acrolein by conducting the reaction while removing water in the reaction system. However, it has become possible to achieve a high conversion rate, and in such cases, the amount of methanol recycled will be significantly reduced, which has the advantage of significantly reducing the cost required for the methanol recovery process. It is known that in this reaction, when water is present in the reaction system, water reacts instead of methanol and methacrylic acid or acrylic acid is partially produced as a by-product, but according to the method of the present invention, methacrylic acid or They have also discovered that the by-product of acrylic acid is suppressed, and as a result, the selectivity of the ester can exceed 95%. In the reaction of the present invention, water in the reaction system is removed,
Over the entire reaction period, the water content is preferably 3.5
To maintain the concentration below % by weight, the reactants are usually brought into contact with a general inorganic dehydrating agent or an organic dehydrating agent inside and/or outside the reaction system, or the water produced within the reaction system is dehydrated in an appropriate manner. A method of extracting water from the system using an azeotropic agent is preferably used.
Dehydrating agents include inorganic dehydrating agents that are inert to raw materials and products and do not interfere with oxidation reactions, such as zeolite (molecular sieve), silica gel, alumina,
Magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, etc. are preferred. In addition, organic dehydrating agents such as acetal,
Examples include ketals, orthoesters of carboxylic acids, trialkylorthoborates, and alkoxycycloalkanes. Particularly preferred are acetals and ketals, such as dimethoxymethane, dimethoxyethane, dimethoxypropane, dimethoxycyclohexane, and the like. When an acetal or ketal is used as the organic dehydrating agent, the alcohol produced by dehydration also participates in the reaction, so it is usually advantageous in terms of operation to use an acetal or ketal having a methanol residue. In addition, the dehydration azeotropic agent may include a compound that has the property of being able to azeotrope with the water in the reaction system and distilling the water in the system out of the system as an azeotrope, such as n-hexane, n-heptane. etc. are preferable. Of course, before subjecting to the reaction of the present invention, the raw materials, reaction solvent,
It is preferable to lower the water content in reactants such as oxygen, oxygen-containing gas, and catalysts. Further, the method using a dehydrating agent as described above and a dehydrating azeotropic agent can be used in combination. In the present invention, it is important to maintain the water content in the reaction solution at 3.5% by weight or less during the entire reaction period, and therefore the dehydration method is not limited to the above method. In carrying out this method, methacrolein or acrolein used as a raw material is generally produced industrially by the oxidation of isobutylene and/or t-butanol or propylene, but it cannot be obtained by any other method. Anything is fine. It is preferred to use substantially anhydrous methanol, particularly pure methanol. The raw materials may be supplied by either feeding methacrolein or acrolein and methanol separately to the reactor, or by mixing them in advance and feeding them. The concentration of methacrolein or acrolein in methanol is from 1% to 50% by weight, preferably from 5 to 38% by weight, more preferably from 20 to 38% by weight. The molecular oxygen used as the oxidizing agent is pure oxygen gas or a mixture thereof diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen, preferably air. The amount of oxygen required is greater than or equal to the stoichiometric amount required for the reaction, preferably less than the stoichiometric amount.
It is sufficient if the amount is 1.2 times or more, and at least 0.5 mole of oxygen is required per mole of methacrolein. The catalyst used in the present invention is palladium alone or palladium plus other different elements such as lead, mercury, thallium, bismuth, tellurium, nickel, chromium, cobalt, cadmium, indium, tantalum, copper,
Zinc, zirconium, hafnium, tungsten, manganese, silver, rhenium, antimony, tin, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, platinum,
It may contain gold, titanium, aluminum, boron, silicon, etc. It may further contain an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound. Preferably, a catalyst containing at least one element selected from palladium and lead, mercury, thallium, or bismuth, and if necessary at least one member selected from an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound, is used. preferable. These catalyst components may be used alone or supported on supports such as silica, alumina, titania, carbonates, hydroxides, and the like. The amount of these catalysts used is not particularly limited, but 0.04
It is preferable to use ~0.5Kg. Although the reaction temperature can be carried out at a high temperature of 100℃ or higher,
A range of 30-90°C gives high selectivity. Further, although a wide range of pressure can be used, from reduced pressure to increased pressure, it is usually carried out at a pressure of 1 to 20 kg/cm 2 . Preferably, the reaction according to the invention is carried out in liquid phase. In this case, it is desirable to maintain the pH of the reaction system at 6 to 9 by adding an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound (for example, oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, carboxylate, etc.) to the reaction system. , which is advantageous in reducing side reactions. Although a solvent is not particularly required in this reaction system, an inert solvent such as a saturated hydrocarbon may be present in the reaction. The reaction time is not particularly limited and cannot be determined unambiguously because it varies depending on the concentration of methacrolein or acrolein, the amount of catalyst composition used, the reaction temperature, the pressure, and the type of reactor, but it is usually 20 minutes. ~4 hours. The present invention can be carried out either batchwise or continuously. As the continuous reactor, a tank reactor with a stirrer, a bubble column reactor, and a perfusion reactor are used. Therefore, depending on the type of reactor, such as a suspended bed type or a fixed bed type, the form of the catalyst is selected to be powdery or granular. Examples of the present invention will be described below. "%" in the example

%) was used, but the reaction was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1. After the reaction is complete, the concentration of water in the reaction solution is 1.48%.
The conversion rate of acrolein was 78.3%, the yield of methyl acrylate was 73.8% (selectivity 94.3%), and a small amount of acrylic acid (selectivity 0.59%) was produced as a by-product. Example 15 The catalyst 32 gr used in Example 1 was placed in a 300 ml complete mixing tank type glass reactor equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser, a gas inlet pipe, and a reaction liquid circulation pipe with a dehydrator.
40 gr of methacrolein, 66 gr of methacrolein dimethyl acetal, and 94 gr of methanol (if methacrolein dimethyl acetal decomposes into methacrolein and methanol, the methacrolein concentration in the entire reaction solution is equivalent to 38% at this time) were charged, and the mixture was heated under atmospheric pressure. , air is blown at a rate of 60/hr to 40℃.
The reaction was carried out in batch mode for 4 hours. During the reaction, constantly draw out the reaction solution and
After passing through a fixed bed of X4 (manufactured by Dow Chemical), it was returned to the reactor. After the reaction was completed, the water content in the reaction solution was 2.3%, the MMA concentration was 19.4%, and the concentrations of methacrolein and methacrolein dimethyl acetal in the solution were 14.6% and 14.5%, respectively.
