Description
METHOD FOR MAKING A CHLORHYDRINE BY REACTION BETWEEN
A POLYHYDROXYLATED ALIPHATIC AND A CHLORINATING AGENT
The present patent application claims the benefit of patent application FR 05.05120 and of patent application EP 05104321.4, both filed on 20 May 2005, and of provisional US patent applications 60/734659, 60/734627, 60/734657, 60/734658, 60/734635, 60/734634, 60/734637 and 60/734636, all filed on 8 November 2005, the content of all of which is incorporated here by reference.
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a chlorohydrin. It relates more specifically to a process for preparing a chlorohydrin from a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and a chlorinating agent.
Chlorohydrins are reaction intermediates in the preparation of epoxides.
Dichloropropanol, for example, is a reaction intermediate in the preparation of epichlorohydrin and of epoxy resins (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition, 1992, Vol. 2, page 156, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
According to known processes it is possible to obtain dichloropropanol in particular by hypochlorinating allyl chloride, by chlorinating allyl alcohol and by hydrochlorinating glycerol. This latter process has the advantage that the dichloropropanol can be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or from renewable raw materials, and it is known that natural petrochemical resources, from which the fossil materials are obtained, such as petroleum, natural gas or coal, for example, are limited in their terrestrial availability.
International application WO 2005/021476 and application WO 2005/054167 of SOLVAY SA describe a process for preparing dichloropropanol by reacting glycerol with hydrogen chloride. The hydrogen chloride may be gaseous or in the form of aqueous solutions.
The toxicity and the corrosiveness of these compounds complicate their preparation, purification, storage and transportation. Hydrogen chloride is toxic by contact, inhalation and ingestion (The Merck Index, Eleventh Edition, 1989, page 759). It is typically transported in the form of liquefied gas in pressurized containers. Aqueous hydrochloric acid is extremely corrosive (The Merck Index, Eleventh Edition, 1989, page 756) and requires apparatus made of special materials for its storage and its transportation. These drawbacks are disadvantageous to the processes for preparing organic chlorine products that make use of these chlorinating agents in one of their steps.
The aim of the invention is to provide a process for preparing chlorohydrin from a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof, and a chlorinating agent, which does not exhibit these drawbacks.
The invention accordingly provides a process for preparing a chlorohydrin from a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, from an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or from a mixture thereof, and from a chlorinating agent, the chlorinating agent comprising at least one of the following compounds: nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, an organic hydrocarbon compound, an organic halogen compound, an organic oxygen compound and a metal.
It has been found, surprisingly, that at least partly supplying the process for preparing chlorohydrin with a chlorinating agent comprising these compounds gives particularly good results. In particular the yield of the process for preparing the chlorohydrin is not adversely affected by the use of this chlorinating agent.
In the process according to the invention the organic hydrocarbon compound is selected from saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon is selected from acetylene, ethylene, propylene, butene, propadiene, methylacetylene and mixtures thereof, the saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon is selected from methane, ethane, propane, butane and mixtures thereof and the aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene.
In the process according to the invention the organic halogen compound is an organic chlorine compound selected from chloromethanes, chloroethanes, chloropropanes, chlorobutanes, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, monochloropropenes, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, chlorobutadienes, chlorobenzenes and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the organic halogen compound is an organic fluorine compound selected from fluoromethanes, fluoroethanes, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the organic oxygen compound is selected from alcohols, chloroalcohols, chloroethers and mixtures thereof.

The present patent application claims the benefit of patent application FR 05.05120 and of patent application EP 05104321.4, both filed on 20 May 2005, and of provisional US patent applications 60/734659, 60/734627, 60/734657, 60/734658, 60/734635, 60/734634, 60/734637 and 60/734636, all filed on 8 November 2005, the content of all of which is incorporated here by reference.

International application WO 2005/021476 and application WO 2005/054167 of SOLVAY SA describe a process for preparing dichloropropanol by reacting glycerol with hydrogen chloride. The hydrogen chloride may be gaseous or in the form of aqueous solutions.
The toxicity and the corrosiveness of these compounds complicate their preparation, purification, storage and transportation. Hydrogen chloride is toxic by contact, inhalation and ingestion (The Merck Index, Eleventh Edition, 1989, page 759). It is typically transported in the form of liquefied gas in pressurized containers. Aqueous hydrochloric acid is extremely corrosive (The Merck Index, Eleventh Edition, 1989, page 756) and requires apparatus made of special materials for its storage and its transportation.

The aim of the invention is to provide a process for preparing chlorohydrin from a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof, and a chlorinating agent, which does not exhibit these drawbacks.
The invention accordingly provides a process for preparing a chlorohydrin from a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, from an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or from a mixture thereof, and from a chlorinating agent, the chlorinating agent comprising at least one of the following compounds: nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, an organic hydrocarbon compound, an organic halogen compound, an organic oxygen compound and a metal.
It has been found, surprisingly, that at least partly supplying the process for preparing chlorohydrin with a chlorinating agent comprising these compounds gives particularly good results. In particular the yield of the process for preparing the chlorohydrin is not adversely affected by the use of this chlorinating agent.
In the process according to the invention the organic hydrocarbon compound is selected from saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon is selected from acetylene, ethylene, propylene, butene, propadiene, methylacetylene and mixtures thereof, the saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon is selected from methane, ethane, propane, butane and mixtures thereof and the aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene.

In the process according to the invention the organic oxygen compound is selected from alcohols, chloroalcohols, chloroethers and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the metal is selected from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, iron, nickel, copper, lead, arsenic, cobalt, titanium, cadmium, antimony, mercury, zinc, selenium, aluminium, bismuth and mixtures thereof.

The preparation processes may be carried out independently in batch mode or in continuous mode. It is preferred for at least one of the processes to be carried out in continuous mode. It is preferred more particularly for the continuous mode to be used for all of the preparation processes under consideration.
In the process according to the invention the chlorinating agent comprises hydrogen chloride.
The term " polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon " refers to a hydrocarbon which contains at least two hydroxyl groups attached to two different saturated carbon atoms. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may contain, but is not limited to, from 2 to 60 carbon atoms.
Each of the carbons of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon bearing the hydroxyl functional group (OH) cannot possess more than one OH group and must have sp3 hybridization. The carbon atom carrying the OH group may be primary, secondary or tertiary. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention must contain at least two sp3-hybridized carbon atoms carrying an OH group. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon includes any hydrocarbon containing a vicinal diol (1,2-diol) or a vicinal triol (1,2,3-triol), including the higher, vicinal or contiguous orders of these repeating units.
The definition of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon also includes, for example, one or more 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5- and 1,6-diol functional groups. The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may also be a polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol. Geminal diols, for example, are excluded from this class of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons.
The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons may contain aromatic moieties or heteroatoms, including, for example, heteroatoms of halogen, sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon and boron type, and mixtures thereof.
In the process according to the invention the chlorinating agent is obtained at least partly from a process for preparing allyl chloride and/or a process for preparing chloromethanes and/or a process of chlorinolysis and/or a process for oxidizing chlorine compounds at a temperature greater than or equal to 800 C.

The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons may contain aromatic moieties or heteroatoms, including, for example, heteroatoms of halogen, sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon and boron type, and mixtures thereof.
Polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons which can be used in the present invention comprise, for example, 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol), 1,2-propane-diol (propylene glycol), 1,3-propanediol, 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 2-chloro-1,3-propanediol (chloropropanediol), 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, cyclohexanediols, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-cyclo-hexanedimethanol, 1,2,3-propanetriol (also known as " glycerol " or " glycerin "), and mixtures thereof. With preference the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. More preferably the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon used in the present invention includes, for example, 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, chloropropanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol, and mixtures of at least two thereof. 1,2,3-Propanetriol or glycerol is the most preferred.
The esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be present in the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or may be produced in the process for preparing the chlorohydrin and/or may be prepared prior to the process for preparing the chlorohydrin. Examples of esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprise ethylene glycol monoacetate, propanediol monoacetates, glycerol monoacetates, glycerol monostearates, glycerol diacetates and mixtures thereof.
The term " chlorohydrin " is used here in order to describe a compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one chlorine atom attached to different saturated carbon atoms. A chlorohydrin which contains at least two hydroxyl groups is also a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Accordingly the starting material and the product of the reaction may each be chlorohydrins.
In that case the " product " chlorohydrin is more chlorinated than the starting chlorohydrin, in other words has more chlorine atoms and fewer hydroxyl groups than the starting chlorohydrin. Preferred chlorohydrins are chloroethanol, chloropropanol, chloropropanediol, dichloropropanol and mixtures of at least two thereof. Dichloropropanol is particularly preferred. Chlorohydrins which are more particularly preferred are 2-chloroethanol, 1-chloropropan-2-ol, 2-chloropropan-l-ol, 1-chloropropane-2,3-diol, 2-chloropropane-1,3-diol, 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol, 2,3-dichloropropan-l-ol and mixtures of at least two thereof.
The esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be present in the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon and/or may be produced in the process for preparing the chlorohydrin and/or may be prepared prior to the process for preparing the chlorohydrin. Examples of esters of the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprise ethylene glycol monoacetate, propanediol monoacetates, glycerol monoacetates, glycerol monostearates, glycerol diacetates and mixtures thereof.
The term " chlorohydrin " is used here in order to describe a compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one chlorine atom attached to different saturated carbon atoms. A chlorohydrin which contains at least two hydroxyl groups is also a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon. Accordingly the starting material and the product of the reaction may each be chlorohydrins.
In that case the " product " chlorohydrin is more chlorinated than the starting chlorohydrin, in other words has more chlorine atoms and fewer hydroxyl groups than the starting chlorohydrin. Preferred chlorohydrins are chloroethanol, chloropropanol, chloropropanediol, dichloropropanol and mixtures of at least two thereof. Dichloropropanol is particularly preferred.

The polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, or the mixture thereof in the process according to the invention may be obtained starting from fossil raw materials or starting from renewable raw materials, preferably starting from renewable raw materials.
By fossil raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of petrochemical natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas and coal, for example. Among these materials preference is given to organic compounds containing 2 and 3 carbon atoms. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is glycerol, allyl chloride, allyl alcohol and " synthetic "
glycerol are particularly preferred. By " synthetic " glycerol is meant a glycerol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is ethylene glycol, ethylene and " synthetic " ethylene glycol are particularly preferred. By " synthetic " ethylene glycol is meant an ethylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources. When the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon is propylene glycol, propylene and " synthetic " propylene glycol are particularly preferred. By " synthetic "
propylene glycol is meant a propylene glycol generally obtained from petrochemical resources.

One of these processes is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of sorbitol obtained by thermochemical conversion of glucose. Another process is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of xylitol obtained by hydrogenation of xylose. The xylose may for example be obtained by hydrolysis of the hemicellulose present in maize fibres. By " natural glycerol " or " glycerol obtained from renewable raw materials " is meant, in particular, glycerol obtained during the production of biodiesel or else glycerol obtained during conversions of animal or vegetable oils or fats in general, such as saponification, transesterification or hydrolysis reactions.
By fossil raw materials are meant materials obtained from the processing of petrochemical natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas and coal, for example.

Another process is, for example, the catalytic hydrogenolysis of xylitol obtained by hydrogenation of xylose. The xylose may for example be obtained by hydrolysis of the hemicellulose present in maize fibres. By " natural glycerol " or " glycerol obtained from renewable raw materials " is meant, in particular, glycerol obtained during the production of biodiesel or else glycerol obtained during conversions of animal or vegetable oils or fats in general, such as saponification, transesterification or hydrolysis reactions.
Among the oils which can be used to prepare natural glycerol, mention may be made of all common oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, copra oil, babassu oil, former or new (low erucic acid) colza oil, sunflower oil, maize oil, castor oil and cotton oil, peanut oil, soya bean oil, linseed oil and crambe oil, and all oils obtained, for example, from sunflower plants or colza plants obtained by genetic modification or hybridization.
It is also possible to employ used frying oils, various animal oils, such as fish oils, tallow, lard and even squaring greases.
Among the oils used mention may also be made of oils which have been partly modified by means, for example, of polymerization or oligomerization, such as, for example, the "stand oils" of linseed oil and of sunflower oil, and blown vegetable oils.
A particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal fats. Another particularly suitable glycerol may be obtained during the production of biodiesel. A third, very suitable glycerol may be obtained during the conversion of animal or vegetable oils or fats by transesterification in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, as described in documents FR 2752242, FR 2869612 and FR 2869613. More specifically, the heterogeneous catalyst is selected from mixed oxides of aluminium and zinc, mixed oxides of zinc and titanium, mixed oxides of zinc, titanium and aluminium, and mixed oxides of bismuth and aluminium, and the heterogeneous catalyst is employed in the form of a fixed bed. This latter process can be a process for producing biodiesel.
In the process for preparing a chlorohydrin according to the invention, the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof may be as described in the patent application entitled " Process for preparing chlorohydrin by converting polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons ", filed in the name of SOLVAY SA on the same day as the present application, and the content of which is incorporated here by reference.
Particular mention is made of a process for preparing a chlorohydrin wherein a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof whose total metal content, expressed in elemental form, is greater than or equal to 0.1 g/kg and less than or equal to 1000 mg/kg is reacted with a chlorinating agent.
In the process according to the invention it is preferred to use glycerol obtained starting from renewable raw materials.
It is also possible to employ used frying oils, various animal oils, such as fish oils, tallow, lard and even squaring greases.
Among the oils used mention may also be made of oils which have been partly modified by means, for example, of polymerization or oligomerization, such as, for example, the "stand oils" of linseed oil and of sunflower oil, and blown vegetable oils.

In the process for preparing a chlorohydrin according to the invention, the polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or the mixture thereof may be as described in the patent application entitled " Process for preparing chlorohydrin by converting polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbons ", filed in the name of SOLVAY SA on the same day as the present application, and the content of which is incorporated here by reference.
Particular mention is made of a process for preparing a chlorohydrin wherein a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof whose total metal content, expressed in elemental form, is greater than or equal to 0.1 g/kg and less than or equal to 1000 mg/kg is reacted with a chlorinating agent.
In the process according to the invention it is preferred to use glycerol obtained starting from renewable raw materials.
The process for preparing chlorohydrins according to the invention can be followed by the preparation of an epoxide.
The term " epoxide " is used herein to describe a compound containing at least one oxygen bridged on a carbon-carbon bond. Generally speaking, the carbon atoms of the carbon-carbon bond are adjacent and the compound may contain atoms other than carbon atoms and oxygen atoms, such as hydrogen atoms and halogens. The preferred epoxides are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, glycidol, epichlorohydrin and mixtures of at least two thereof.
The process for preparing the epoxide may be followed by a process for preparing epoxy resins.
The processes from which the chlorinating agent may have come are often combined. The heavy by-products of the synthesis of allyl chloride and epichlorohydrin are advantageously employed as a source of raw materials in a high-temperature chlorinolysis process for producing materials which are utilized commercially. These plants may, however, have other sources of raw materials.
Oxidation at a temperature of greater than or equal to 800 C is used in order to remove organic chlorine or oxygen wastes.
