Background technology
As everyone knows, as generating acrylic acid, the method for the catalytic vapor phase oxidation reaction that adopts propylene is arranged.In obtain acrylic acid this method by propylene oxidation, two kinds of technologies are arranged, a kind of technology be by the oxidation of propene to acrolein with by propenal to the oxidation of acrylic acid subordinate phase respectively in different reactors with the two-stage oxidizing technology of under different conditions, carrying out, another kind of technology is to adopt one section oxidation style direct oxidation to acrylic acid technology.
Fig. 1 adopts two-stage oxidizing technology to generate vinylformic acid for illustrating, and then is generated an example of the process picture sheet of acrylate by vinylformic acid that generates and alcohol reaction.Propylene, water vapour and air are fed into first reactor as unstripped gas, and then are fed into second reactor.In first reactor and second reactor, be filled with for example catalyzer such as molybdenum series catalyst.Unstripped gas is through first reactor and second reactor, and the propylene in the unstripped gas is become and contains acrylic acid gas by two-stage oxidizing.Make this contain vinylformic acid gas and contact with water, form acrylic acid aqueous solution,, extract, separate above-mentioned extraction solvent at the separated from solvent tower at extraction tower to wherein adding suitable extraction solvent at the capture tower.
Then,, make crude acrylic acid, in rectifying tower, from this crude acrylic acid, isolate by product, obtain acrylic acid refined products thus at separated from acetic acid tower separating acetic acid.In addition, this vinylformic acid (refined products) is after esterification reaction tower is carried out esterification, through extraction tower and low boiling point component knockout tower, become the crude propylene acid esters, at rectifying tower separating by-products (high boiling point composition) from this crude propylene acid esters, thus, above-mentioned crude propylene acid esters becomes the refining thing of acrylate.In above-mentioned separated from solvent tower, separated from acetic acid tower, low boiling point component knockout tower and rectifying tower, the composition that contains vinylformic acid or acrylate is distilled.
And, because of the kind difference of acrylate, also pass through this operation sometimes as Fig. 2.At this moment, by product obtains as the tower bottoms of vinylformic acid knockout tower.
In acrylate preparation technology shown in Figure 2, respectively vinylformic acid, alcohol, acrylic acid, recovery alcohol are supplied to esterifier.In this esterifier, be filled with catalyzer such as strong acid ion exchange resin.The esterification reaction mixture of the formations such as generation ester, unreacted acrylic acid, unreacting alcohol and generation water of taking out from this reactor supplies to the vinylformic acid knockout tower.
Extract liquid at the bottom of the tower that contains unreacted acrylic acid at the bottom of the tower of this vinylformic acid knockout tower out.The part of liquid circulates to esterifier at the bottom of the tower.The part of liquid supplies to high boiling point component separating tower at the bottom of the above-mentioned tower, isolates the high boiling point composition at the bottom of tower.The high boiling point composition is supplied to high boiling point composition decomposition reactor (not shown) to be decomposed.Containing the valuable decomposition product that generates by decomposition is recycled in the technology.Position in institute's round-robin technology is according to processing condition and difference.High boiling point impurity such as polymkeric substance are removed and are discharged into outside the system from high boiling point composition decomposition reactor.
Distillate acrylate, unreacting alcohol and generation water from the cat head of aforesaid propylene acid separation column.The part of overhead product is recycled to the vinylformic acid knockout tower as phegma, and remaining supplies to extraction tower.Supply with the water of the pure usefulness of extraction to this extraction tower.Go out to contain the water supply of alcohol to pure recovery tower from tower bottom flow.Distillatory alcohol is recycled to esterifier.
Supply to the low boiling point component knockout tower from the effusive crude propylene acid esters of the cat head of extraction tower.In the low boiling point component knockout tower, extract low boiling point component out from this cat head, toward the technology internal recycle.Position in circulation technology is according to processing condition and difference.The crude propylene acid esters of removing low boiling point component supplies to treating tower.In treating tower, obtain highly purified acrylate from cat head.Be recycled in the technology because of containing a large amount of vinylformic acid in the liquid at the bottom of the tower.Position in circulation technology is according to processing condition and difference.In aforesaid propylene acid separation column, low boiling point component knockout tower and treating tower, the composition that contains vinylformic acid and acrylate is distilled.
In addition, in recent years,, also adopt the azeotropic separation method to replace the solvent extration that uses extraction solvent to carry out for acrylic acid from above-mentioned acrylic acid aqueous solution.In this azeotropic separation method, water is distilled for boil-off together dose, distillate the azeotropic mixture of water and azeotropic solvent, acrylic acid at the bottom of the tower from the cat head of azeotropic separation tower.
In addition, also can replace propylene and in the presence of catalyzer, carry out catalytic vapor phase oxidation reaction obtaining acrylic acid by using propane.Above-mentioned catalyzer uses for example Mo-V-Te system complex oxide catalyzer or Mo-V-Sb system complex oxide catalyzer etc.
In the occasion of methacrylic acid and methacrylic ester, use the iso-butylene or the trimethyl carbinol to replace propylene, make methacrylic acid treating thing and the refining thing of methacrylic ester through same oxidizing process and subsequent esterification technique with above-mentioned explanation.
In addition, method as preparation (methyl) acrylate (acrylate, methacrylic ester), also can adopt with acid etc. to make (methyl) acrylate of lower alcohol and higher alcohols carry out transesterification reaction the method for (methyl) acrylate of preparation higher alcohols as catalyzer.Thick (methyl) acrylate that this transesterification reaction obtains, through catalyst separating, concentrate, the operation of rectifying etc. makes refining (methyl) acrylate.
In the distillation process for refining of above-mentioned crude acrylic acid, crude methacrylic acid, crude propylene acid esters, crude methacrylic acid ester, in order to obtain rectification effect, generally adopt at the tray column of the various column plates of internal configuration or fill the packing tower of various fillers.
As column plate, there are bubble-cap formula column plate (bubble cap), uniflux tray, T type disc type valve tray, ballast tray, multiaperture-type column plate (sieve formula column plate), funnel-shaped column plate, corrugated plate dst not to have weir porous plate, flat no weir porous plate, deflector type column plate etc.
As filler, Raschig ring as ring packing, spiral ring, Pall ring etc. are arranged, as the Berl saddle packing of saddle type filler, the saddle packing (イ Application one ロ Star Network サ De Le) etc. of interlocking, as other filler, Goodloe packing, enlightening gram DNA releaxed circular DNA, MeMahon packing, vertical plate structured packing etc. are arranged.
The distillation process of (methyl) vinylformic acid or its ester is characterised in that, often contains the solid substance of polymkeric substance etc. in the process liquor in distillation process.(methyl) vinylformic acid and (methyl) acrylate are very easy polymeric materials.Therefore, in above-mentioned distillation process, polymerization be can suppress, nonetheless, acrylic acid dimer and other polymer material in process liquor, also often contained though in above-mentioned process liquor, add stopper.Because this solid substance also generates in distillation procedure, therefore general packing tower is not suitable for above-mentioned distillation process.In addition, in overflow pipe, generate solid substance easily.Therefore, in the preparation of (methyl) vinylformic acid or (methyl) acrylate, the preferred flat no weir porous plate that is used to constitute plate column (the public clear 49-15153 communique of reference example such as spy) that does not have overflow pipe that uses.
Flat no weir porous plate is by same plane peristome with above-mentioned communicating pores, so the steam that drops down onto the liquid of hypomere and rise to epimere from hypomere from epimere passes through peristome under identical conditions.Therefore, its port area can not all be used to allow liquid pass through, and owing to the effect of steam makes at ascent direction generation pressure therefore, have the shortcoming of the easy occlusion of openings of solid substance portion.Also known a kind of fine part of attempting the percentage of open area etc. by setting flat no weir porous plate makes commercial apparatus reach the technology of practicability, and (reference example such as spy open the 2000-300903 communique.)。But, still can not overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming that flat no weir porous plate is had basically.
Above-mentioned solid substance is also in the distillation purification operations, because (methyl) vinylformic acid or its ester are heated and newly separate out or generate.So, cause that these solid substances adhere to, pile up or are accumulated on the column plate of distillation tower inside and in the positions such as space of filler, thereby the pressure reduction between causing at the bottom of cat head and the tower rises, gas-to-liquid contact state deteriorating and then result in blockage etc.Its result not only makes the rate of recovery of purpose resultant reduce, and the problem of continuous operation of hindering stable distillation tower and so on is arranged.
Therefore, in (methyl) vinylformic acid, (methyl) acrylate both sides' preparation section, people wish to develop and had a kind ofly not only addressed the above problem, but also can stably obtain the distillation process for refining of the said products with the high rate of recovery.

Though in technology, also contain the material beyond the above-claimed cpd sometimes,, as long as its kind is to the preparation of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like and does not refiningly have a dysgenic material that just there is no particular limitation.
In above-mentioned distillation process, use to have corrugated plate dst and do not have weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate distillation tower as column plate.Above-mentioned distillation process is so long as can distill the operation of the composition that contains (methyl) acrylic acid or the like, and just there is no particular limitation.As this operation, can list for example as described above, extraction process; Solvent and the isolating operation of vinylformic acid with extraction solvent etc.; The vinylformic acid that is separated is carried out the purified operation; The azeotropic separation operation; The separated from acetic acid operation; A part of purified operation with organic solvent; And the unit operation of extraction, distillation etc. etc.According to the present invention, in the system that relatively is easy to generate above-mentioned solid substance, for example in the higher system of the concentration of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like in above-mentioned composition, can obtain better effect, more particularly, when above-mentioned distillation process is the operation of refining (methyl) acrylic acid or the like, can obtain better effect.
Above-mentioned distillation tower, so long as corrugated plate dst can there be the distillation tower that weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate are provided with as column plate, just there is no particular limitation.As this distillation tower, the distillation tower that can use tray column for example etc. generally in chemical factory, to use.The stage number that is provided with in the above-mentioned distillation tower (hop count) can be set aptly according to the various conditions such as kind of object material and column plate, in the occasion of distillation (methyl) acrylic acid or the like, and usually preferably 10~50.
Above-mentioned corrugated plate dst does not have the weir porous plate, as Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 5, is a kind of porous plate that for example is processed into corrugated plate shape, and it is that cross-sectional shape is the plate of wave mode, and has a plurality of communicating poress.Above-mentioned corrugated plate dst does not have the weir porous plate, and it is so long as a kind of porous plate that can make ventilation and logical liquid reach appropriate balance in the still-process of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like gets final product, but preference such as percentage of open area are 5~30% porous plate.
Corrugated plate dst does not have in the porous plate of weir, and any one that can be in the lateral parts of part, mountain or the paddy of the part on mountain, paddy is provided with communicating pores.And, there is not the cross-sectional shape of weir porous plate about corrugated plate dst, be called " mountain " connecting the upside of protuberance upper end with the center line of the intermediate point height of recess lower end, be called " paddy " at the downside of center line.In addition, " side " is meant from the face between top to the bottom of paddy on mountain.
In addition, above-mentioned " wave mode " is meant mountain in cross-sectional shape and paddy repeated shapes continuously, and is formed at the shape that becomes inclination from the top on mountain to the surface of the plate of the bottom of paddy.Above-mentioned " wave mode " can be for example to resemble the sinusoidal wave shape that is formed mountain and paddy by the successive curve, also can be for example as the shape that pulse wave is formed by the hypotenuse connection, the shape that is formed by the combination of alternate line.In addition, above-mentioned " wave mode " is to be repeated to constitute by the cell configuration that mountain and paddy constitute, and this cell configuration can be identical, also can be different.
Above-mentioned flat no weir porous plate such as Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 6 are the flat boards with a plurality of communicating poress.Above-mentioned flat no weir porous plate is so long as to make ventilation and logical liquid reach the porous plate of appropriate balance in the still-process of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like just passable, and preference such as percentage of open area are 5~30% porous plate.In addition, in Fig. 3~6, the solid arrow among the figure is represented the flow of vapor direction in the distillation tower, dotted arrow express liquid flow direction.
In the distillation procedure of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like, use flat no weir porous plate usually.In general, owing in the distillation tower of the no weir of use porous plate overflow pipe (ダ ウ Application カ マ one) is not set, therefore complete section area of distillation tower can be used in gas-to-liquid contact, thereby makes being uniformly dispersed of liquid.In addition, also has treatment capacity than bubble-cap formula column plate feature efficiently.
But as mentioned above, flat no weir porous plate is by same plane peristome with above-mentioned communicating pores.Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, the liquid under the downward paragraph of epimere with pass through communicating pores from hypomere inversely to the steam that epimere rises.Therefore, because port area is not all to be used for allowing liquid pass through, and be subjected to the pressure on ascent direction that causes by steam, so have the shortcoming that solid substance stops up communicating pores easily.This shortcoming can solve by aperture or percentage of open area are adjusted to a certain degree.
It is different with flat no weir porous plate that corrugated plate dst does not have the weir porous plate, and the former is not because the peristome of communicating pores is to be in same planely, so liquid mainly flows downward from the part of paddy, and steam then passes through from the part on mountain.Solid substance in the liquid focuses on the bottom of the part of paddy, is discharged to hypomere, and therefore, solid substance is difficult to sedimentation and accumulation.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, corrugated plate dst does not have in the communicating pores of weir porous plate, and vertically by communicating pores, steam then passes through communicating pores along the axis direction of communicating pores to liquid.Therefore, suppress the obstruction of the communicating pores that causes by solid substance on the structure easily.
In addition, by the processing of corrugated plate shape, the occasion in being arranged at same distillation tower, its surface-area can be bigger than flat no weir porous plate, also more communicating pores can be set.
And then even just in case solid substance stops up the communicating pores of the part of paddy, the communicating pores of the lateral parts that liquid also can be by mountain part and mountain or paddy falls, and therefore, compares with flat no weir porous plate, can make the ground steady running of distillation tower longer time.And, if open greatly a little than the aperture of the communicating pores of the part of the paddy that is easier to pass through, then can obtain better effect to solid substance.
In addition, even the communicating pores of paddy part is blocked, the communicating pores of lateral parts can be used for gas-to-liquid contact, and therefore, the dispersion of liquid keeps evenly.Utilize this characteristic, can solve the problems such as adhering to, pile up, accumulate of solid substance.
And then, contain in processing in the distillation of liquid of (methyl) acrylic acid or the like, find to form or accumulate the phenomenon of polymkeric substance at the column plate back side.Its one of the main reasons can list and is back to or increases attached to residence time of the liquid at the column plate back side etc.Because flat no weir porous plate is the back side (following) is planar, be difficult to fall attached to following liquid, so its residence time is elongated easily.
Corrugated plate dst does not have the weir porous plate because the shape of its structure makes its back side form and tilts, and thus, is present in the downward easily drippage of liquid at the column plate back side, and this is the major cause that can be avoided above-mentioned shortcoming.
In addition, corrugated plate dst does not have the weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate is same, and structure is very simple, therefore, has the very cheap advantage of construction cost of the manufacturing cost, setup fee etc. of distillation tower.
So, in the porous plate of flat no weir, for the solid substance that makes generation falls, suppress the generation of the solid substance in the distillation tower, must make aperture ratio bigger, and not have in the porous plate of weir, compare with flat no weir porous plate at corrugated plate dst, in order to suppress the generation of the solid substance in the distillation tower, do not need hole diameter enlargement.
In addition, in the porous plate of no weir, become well though reduce the distillatory effect (plate efficiency) that the aperture can make each piece not have the weir porous plate, the pressure reduction that each piece does not have the weir porous plate becomes big.Its result, the overall pressure reduction (pressure difference at the bottom of cat head and the tower) of distillation tower increases, and the increased pressure of tower bottom makes (boiling point increases) temperature of tower bottom rise thus, thereby the generation of solid substance is increased.
The invention is characterized in, carry out in the purified method in that (methyl) vinylformic acid and/or (methyl) acrylate are imported distillation tower, as above-mentioned distillation tower, it is inner use corrugated plate dst do not have weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate the two.
Among the present invention, by be provided with the corrugated plate dst that can reduce the communicating pores aperture do not have the weir porous plate and from prevent to stop up viewpoint consider to be necessary to make the bigger flat no weir porous plate of communicating pores aperture ratio the two, can reach effective distillation (methyl) acrylic acid or the like at least, prevent that pressure reduction at the bottom of distillation tower cat head and the tower from rising and prevent the purposes such as distillation tower inside obstruction that solid substance causes.
Corrugated plate dst does not have number being set and ratio being set of weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate, can not have the aperture of communicating pores in the porous plate of weir, every pressure reduction that is produced, every with respect to settings that suit such as distillatory effects according to each.Among the present invention, corrugated plate dst does not have several ratios is set is preferably 1: 1 of weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate~4: 1.If above-mentioned corrugated plate dst does not have the several ratio of being provided with of weir porous plate less than 1, when high-level efficiency distillatory viewpoint was selected the communicating pores aperture, the solid substance that produces on the porous plate of flat no weir often caused the continuous operation time of distillation tower to shorten.If above-mentioned corrugated plate dst does not have the several ratio of being provided with of weir porous plate greater than 4, then often cause the overall pressure reduction increase of distillation tower and the temperature of tower bottom to rise, therefore be easy to generate solid substance, thereby the continuous operation time of distillation tower shortens.
In distillation tower inside, corrugated plate dst does not have weir porous plate and flat no weir porous plate can each plot alternately configured, also can press the piece of defined respectively and count alternately configured, also can dispose by kind, and can dispose brokenly.Among the present invention, the porous plate of the hypomere setting in distillation tower inside is preferably corrugated plate dst is not had the weir porous plate.
At tower bottom, in reboiler,, make that liquid flies upward at the bottom of the tower that contains gas and solid substance simultaneously, thereby make solid substance easily attached to the back side of the column plate of foot owing to being caused the spittle by the gas that boiled.This solid substance is residual in the porous plate of flat no weir easily, but because corrugated plate dst does not have weir porous plate (as mentioned above) is to be made of the plate that tilts, so at column plate back side generation liquid-flow, thereby solid substance is washed.
In that being set continuously, the polylith corrugated plate dst do not have the occasion of weir porous plate, make that hypomere disposes across on the direction that the part of the mountain of waveform successive direction or ripple and paddy extends, liquid is preferred to the consideration of horizontal direction dispersive viewpoint to this distributing style in the distillation tower from improving, and special preferred vertical disposes across.
In addition, in the occasion that the flat no weir of polylith porous plate is set continuously, consider to horizontal direction dispersive viewpoint from improving in the distillation tower liquid, though can dispose the cross-sectional shape of the identical communicating pores of percentage of open area and the different flat no weir porous plate of configuration of communicating pores respectively at last hypomere.
Among the present invention, do not have the cross-sectional shape of weir porous plate about above-mentioned corrugated plate dst, the height of ripple is preferably 1/2~1/20 with respect to the ratio (height/wavelength of ripple) of wavelength.And " wavelength " be meant from the summit on mountain to the horizontal throw on the summit on adjacent mountain, according to the tower diameter of distillatory object material, distillation tower and distillation condition etc. and different, is preferably 20~6,000mm." height of ripple " be meant from the summit on mountain to the vertical range of the lower-most point of paddy, with distillation condition etc. and different, is preferably 10~300mm according to the tower diameter of distillatory object material, distillation tower.
No weir porous plate during distillation must make it often wetting by liquid.In case dry (state that does not just have stopper) just is easy to generate solid substance.If aforementioned proportion is greater than 1/2, then being trapped in corrugated plate dst does not have the degree of depth increase of the liquid above the porous plate of weir, the pressure reduction that causes every corrugated plate dst not have the weir porous plate becomes excessive, cause the overall pressure reduction of distillation tower to increase, column bottom temperature is risen, thereby solid substance takes place easily, the continuous operation time of distillation tower is shortened.If it is identical with flat no weir porous plate that aforementioned proportion less than 1/20, then becomes, the liquid-flow of wave mode part becomes very little, is difficult to remove the solid substance that is produced, and therefore, the continuous operation time of distillation tower is shortened.
Among the present invention, the communicating pores aperture that corrugated plate dst does not have a weir porous plate is preferably less than the communicating pores aperture of flat no weir porous plate.Specifically, the corrugated plate dst communicating pores aperture a that do not have a weir porous plate is preferably 1.1~3.0 with the ratio b/a of the communicating pores aperture b of flat no weir porous plate.If aforementioned proportion is less than 1.1, though then corrugated plate dst does not have the alleviation effects height of the pressure reduction of the distillation tower that the weir porous plate brings, in the porous plate of flat no weir, stop up easily, the continuous operation time of distillation tower is shortened.If aforementioned proportion is greater than 3, then the speed relative different of the gas that blows out from the communicating pores of two kinds of no weir porous plates increases, and the air-flow in the distillation tower is got muddled, and is easy to generate solid substance thus, so just often makes the continuous operation time shortening of distillation tower.
Do not have communicating pores in weir porous plate and the above-mentioned flat no weir porous plate about above-mentioned corrugated plate dst, it is circular that the shape of cross section of communicating pores (shape of peristome) is generally, but also can be non-circular for rectangle, ellipse, polygon etc.In addition, the shape of cross section of a communicating pores can be single shape, also can be changed to other shape by certain shape continuously.And for above-mentioned communicating pores, the vertical sectional shape of communicating pores is generally rectangle, but also can be following than other shapes such as the trapezoidal of the last length of side or wall clock shapes.
In addition, in a no weir porous plate, the communicating pores of identical cross-sectional shape can only be set, the communicating pores of multiple different cross section shape also can be set.And, in the no weir porous plate, can be by communicating pores be set evenly distributedly on the monoblock porous plate, also can by uneven distribution communicating pores (for example the central part at porous plate is provided with some communicating poress more, at the periphery of porous plate some communicating poress is set less) is set.
Above-mentioned corrugated plate dst does not have the communicating pores aperture of weir porous plate, is generally 10~40mm, yet preferred this scope of the present invention.In addition, the communicating pores aperture of above-mentioned flat no weir porous plate is preferably 10~50mm.Among the present invention, in these no weir porous plates, the communicating pores of same apertures can only be set, the communicating pores in multiple different apertures also can be set.
Above-mentioned distillation tower also can have above-mentioned no weir porous plate other structures in addition in the scope of not damaging effect of the present invention.As this other structures, can list traverse baffle that the stock liquid supplying opening place that for example is arranged in the distillation tower is used for making the stock liquid baffling of being supplied with, be used to prevent top board that the stock liquid of traverse baffle splashes upward, be used for the reboiler of the stock liquid heating that supplies to distillation tower, at various nozzles that liquid flow path disposes aptly, other column plates except that the porous plate of above-mentioned no weir and above-mentioned filler etc.
In the above-mentioned reboiler, can use those at the known reboiler that uses during liquid at the bottom of the heating distillation Tata.Above-mentioned reboiler generally is divided into occasion that is provided with and the occasion that is provided with outside tower in tower, among the present invention, preferably be provided with outside tower.Pattern as reboiler has no particular limits.Can list the various heat exchangers of liquid heating usefulness at the bottom of the tower of vertical fixed tube template, horizontal fixed tube template, U word cast, double cast, spiral type, square (angle Block ロ Star Network) type, template, thin film evaporation type etc. particularly.
