Description

The method of Separated ether by rectification and azeotropic distillation, ethanol and sour water
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of separating process of chemical industry, the rectifying of particularly a kind of ether, ethanol and sour water and the separation method that component distillation combines.
Technical background
Along with developing rapidly of China's economic construction, adopt ethanol constantly to increase as the demand of solvent, according to estimates, year demand is about 4,000,000 tons at present, and domestic annual production only is 200~3,000,000 tons, does not satisfy the demand in market far away, still needs the part import.Generally adopt ethanol as solvent in many building-up processes of medicine, chemical industry and pesticide intermediate, especially under acid (solid acid or mineral acid) catalyzer existence condition, ethanol is produced ether easily, so just form ethanol, ether and acidic aqueous solution easily, ethanol, ether and water all can form azeotrope, the azeotropic point and the composition that form azeotrope are shown in Table 1
Material The azeotropic point temperature (℃) Azeotropic is formed
Water+ethanol 78.17℃ 4.4% (water) 95.6% (ethanol)
Water+ether 34.15℃ 1.3% (water) 98.7% (ether)
Can the azeotrope that produce be (ethanol+water+ether), and therefore, can ethanol+water+ether effectively separate, be related to ethanol and reclaim and recycle.At present ethanol+ether+sour water separates general gap rectification method etc. and takes off ether earlier in the industrial production, steam ethanol then, adopt this method separating alcohol and ether, isolating ether and purity of alcohol is generally about 94% and 91%, and a yield only is about 87% and 80%, separate not thoroughly, can cause again the difficulty of removal process and energy consumption height.Simultaneously contain certain ethanol in the sour water and ether easily throws into question to environment.
Summary of the invention
The present invention will provide a kind of new separation method, adopt rectifying and the component distillation method separating alcohol+ether+sour water that combines, and separate back ethanol and recycle, and ether can be used as other solvent and uses, and ethanol and ether content are lower in the sour water simultaneously.
The technical scheme of finishing the foregoing invention task is: the method for Separated ether by rectification and azeotropic distillation, ethanol and sour water, and step is as follows:
At first adopt rectifier unit separating alcohol+ether+sour water mixing solutions, after the separation, cat head is an ether, is ethanol+sour water at the bottom of the tower;
