Modeling of CO2-assisted liquid phase oxidation of para-xylene catalyzed by transition metals/bromide
Chemical Engineering Science(2015)
摘要
The promoting effect of CO2 on liquid phase oxidation of para-xylene (PX) catalyzed by transition metals/bromide was investigated in batch experiments under conditions of industrial interests such as temperature, pressure, and catalyst. On the basis of free radical chain reaction mechanism of alkyl aromatics oxidation, the kinetic model of CO2-assisted PX oxidation involving six parameters was developed. The model fits the PX oxidation kinetics well with narrow confidence intervals of rate constants under conditions of various CO2 addition, temperatures, and catalysts. It was found that the presence of CO2 could obviously promote the chain initiation reactions that are the rate-limiting steps, while it has no impact on the propagation reaction kinetics. Only the rate constant concerning chain initiation was dependent of different experimental conditions while other model parameters were kept constant. The promoting function of CO2 can be ascribed to the formation of active peroxocarbonate that results from a synergistic interaction of CO2 and O2. This postulated specie may participate in the generation of free radicals by oxidizing CoІІ to CoІІІ. Hopefully, the kinetic model proposed in this work can be used to optimize the CO2 assisted PX oxidation process and bring insights into PX oxidation mechanism with the presence of CO2.
