Description

A kind of technology of producing ethylene by ethanol dehydration
Technical field
The present invention relates to chemical technology field, being specifically related to a kind of is the technology that the material choice dehydration generates ethene with ethanol.
Background technology
Ethene is a kind of very important organic chemical industry's basic raw material, be called as " mother of petrochemical complex ", be mainly used to produce multiple important organic chemical industry's products such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, oxyethane, ethylene glycol, dichloro dioxane, ethylbenzene, phenylethane, vinylbenzene, vinyl acetate between to for plastic.At present, ethylene production mainly adopts the production of petroleum catalystic pyrolysis both at home and abroad, the research that non-petroleum is produced ethene in recent years has new breakthrough, has reported to be that novel process, the patent CN86104433A of raw material hydrogenation preparing ethene reported that the method, the patent CN86102492A that produce ethene and propylene with ethane and propane selectivity have reported that the ethane low-temperature oxidative dehydrogenation produces method, patent CN1131190C and the patent CN1269341A of ethene and reported a kind of ethane oxidizing and cracking process to produce ethylene with acetylene as patent CN1569783A and patent CN1317468A; Patent CN1092171C, patent CN1280117A have reported method and the device with methane converting High-efficient Production ethene.But the inevitable demand side of these methods is to a fossil resource shortage and the serious difficult problem of environmental pollution, and the producing ethylene by ethanol dehydration technology is to be raw material with the ethanol that derives from agricultural byproducts, can avoid the dependence to petroleum resources like this.To oil-poor and based on agricultural the country and regional, production alcoholic acid raw material is easy to get and is guaranteed, established enough raw material bases for producing ethene, producing ethylene with ethyl alcohol seems and is even more important, and it is strong and have the technology of the market competitiveness that its key factor is to study a kind of new economy.Patent CN1884232A has reported a kind of microwave chemical method of preparing ethylene by catalytic dehydration of ethanol, this method is to be catalyzer with phosphoric acid salt, ethanol is that dehydration obtains ethene under the microwave of 300MHz~300GHz in frequency, but this method does not provide a kind of complete process program.Generally speaking, preparing ethylene by dehydrating ethanol has Sustainable development, the characteristic of clean and safe, and its feedstock pathway is as follows:
Figure A20071013361000031
Alcohol production just begins in Ancient Times in China, is the renewable resources technology the most ripe, that experience is the abundantest of producing up to now, along with the generation of " oil crisis " in the world wide for the first time in 1976, makes bio-ethanol begin large-scale industrialization production.Be used to produce the alcoholic acid raw material and mainly contain starchiness class, molasses class, cellulosic class, sulphite papermaking wastewater and wild plant class etc.Industrial alcohol is produced more much lower than edible ethanol to the requirement of impurity, and its sophisticated purifying technique extensively adopts distillation technique, and Distallation systm has single tower, double tower, multitower differential distillation and heat pump distillation.The effect of distillation tower is that ethanol and volatile impunty and a part of water are separated from the maturing fermentation mash, and gets rid of the poor liquid of being made up of solid substance, non-volatility impurity and most of water, and the finished product alcohol gas obtains finished product alcohol through the water cooler condensation.In alcohol production, the distillation energy consumption accounts for 60%~70% of total energy consumption, and be cooled water, waste liquid etc. of wherein a large amount of heat energy are taken away and caused damage, and 1 ton of 95% alcohol gas is cooled to 25 ℃ from 85 ℃ and discharges 1.06 * 10 6KJ heat is equivalent to the 290kwh electric flux, if lower the temperature with 10 ℃ of cold water, water temperature rises to 45 ℃ of needs and consumes nearly 12 tons of water coolants.
Ethanol dehydration obtains the research of ethene and carries out comparison early, occurs being produced by the thermo-cracking of hydro carbons such as petroleum naphtha and Sweet natural gas the full scale plant of ethene afterwards, in the very fast ethanol dehydration method that replaced of developed country, has almost become whole sources of ethene at that time.But because the difference and the ethanol dehydration method of various countries' situation self have, some developing countries do not abandon the method for this production ethene.
The research of producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol mainly contains catalyzer and technical study two portions, and wherein catalyst research is comparatively active.Since logical superheated silicon-dioxide and aluminum oxide obtained ethene with ethanol first, the scholar had carried out extensive studies to the catalyzer that uses, and from the data of report, the catalyzer that producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol relates to has activated alumina, SiO 2-Al 2O 3, atlapulgite, phosphoric acid or barium white carried catalyst, Al 2O 3-MgO/SiO 2, molecular sieve etc., wherein activated alumina and HZSM-5 molecular sieve catalytic effect are better.Mass space velocity 0.3~the 0.7h of the use of activated alumina -1, 350~500 ℃ of temperature; High speed development along with catalysis technique, molecular sieve research and development and the application in each field become the research focus, patent CN86101615A has reported that a kind of major ingredient is the producing ethylene with ethyl alcohol catalyzer of ZSM-5 molecular sieve and aluminium hydroxide, 250~390 ℃ of this catalyzer use range, ethanol air speed 1-4h -1Patent CN101024194A has reported a kind of metal composite modified HZSM-5 molecular sieve catalyst and preparation method; Patent CN1923367 has reported the preparation and the application in the preparation biological ethane thereof of composite modified catalyst, but need be with rare gas element CO, N 2Be carrier, for product separation has brought inconvenience.No matter adopt which kind of catalyzer, be strong endothermic reaction because ethanol dehydration generates ethene, the about 46.8kJ/mol of reaction heat, the heat and mass condition also is the factor that influences technological process.Therefore except that the invention of carrying out the novel efficient catalyzer and study on the modification, adopting new reaction that is suitable for producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol and separating technology is the direction of following biological ethane industrial development.
According to document and patent search result, both at home and abroad seldom to the technical study of preparing ethylene by dehydrating ethanol.At present there is the production equipment of two cover producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol in China, a cover for external import, another set of be China's independent research.The weak point of two covering devices is except that reactor changes fixed bed into, other are the reprint of oil ethylene process substantially, and what adopt is the technology eighties in last century, no too many innovation and change, the competitive device that does not also design at the preparing ethylene by dehydrating ethanol characteristics fully so far.With concentration is 95% liquid ethanol, is 350~400 ℃ in temperature, and the activated alumina katalysis is produced ethene down and is still current main flow technology.Shortcoming is that system stability is poor, the production energy consumption height, and also ton ethene water loss is huge, and caustic scrubber easily stops up.
In the traditional technology, the raw material of producing ethene is 25 ℃ of liquid ethanol, must be through preheating, evaporation, overheated and react 4 processes, the heat energy of technological process consumption is calculated as follows: the thing thermal capacitance data that check in ethanol, ethene, water by chemical handbook, under isobaric condition, the thermal change of material is thermal capacitance C by formula P=A+BT+CT 2+ DT 3, heat is with formula Q = n ∫ T 2 T 1 C p , m dT Calculate, the evaporation of water enthalpy is 40.66kJ/mol, and alcoholic acid evaporation enthalpy is 38.72kJ/mol, and the reaction heat that calculates 240 ℃ of following ethanol dehydrations generation ethene is 47.53kJ/mol, and production process energy consumption distribution situation is seen Fig. 1.
As seen from Figure 1, the energy consumption of traditional biological ethylene production have an appointment 88% at water component, about 42% preheating or the evaporation that all is used for raw material in the ethanol.And steam superheating to temperature of reaction institute heat requirement less than twenty percent, the reaction heat that ethanol dehydration generates ethylene process consumption also only accounts for about 44% of whole energy consumption, so the cost of energy of conservation preheating and evaporation is one of emphasis of patent of the present invention.
In the traditional technology, the product that ethanol dehydration reaction obtains is removed sour gas such as carbonic acid gas after cooling off with quench tower (or claiming water wash column) again with soda-wash tower, process system fluctuation of service, the big and easily stifled tower of soda-wash tower of water consumption.Under catalyst action, the 1mol ethanol synthesis generates 1mol ethene and 1mol water, if alcohol concn is 95%, 53% (mol ratio) of then having an appointment in the product component is water; If is raw material with 50% ethanol, then about 71% (mol ratio) is water vapor in the product, and the temperature of product is generally about 350 ℃, and the condensation latent heat of water vapor is 40.66kJ/mol.The cooling of product often needs to consume a large amount of water coolants, and the waste water that is produced has increased the weight of the load of Sewage treatment systems; Because the service temperature height of quench tower, organic substances such as ethanol, ether, aldehydes are not thoroughly brought alkali cleaning workshop section into because of cleaning in the crude ethylene product, thereby cause the obstruction of soda-wash tower to happen occasionally.
The present invention is to be that catalytic material dehydration generates the novel process of producing ethene with ethanol, and this technology has been coupled, and ethanol distillation is purified and the technology of catalytic dehydration system ethene, by heat exchange network optimization the energy of system is fully utilized.Technology has reasonably solved the big and soda-wash tower blockage problem of water consumption, crude ethylene makes ethene reduce in the loss for the treatment of process through condensation separation, washing, drying and absorption and low temperature fractionation operation, improved ethylene yield, especially in conjunction with making alcohol production ethene have powerful competitive power behind the novel molecular sieve.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the producing ethylene with ethyl alcohol technology that the cover production process is integrated and entire system is optimized, this technology is by energy consumption, the material consumption of ethanol purification with the optimization reduction producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol of coupling, entire system heat exchange and the production technique of catalysis system ethene method, the deficiency of having avoided above-mentioned prior art to exist simultaneously.
The objective of the invention is to realize by following technical measures:
A kind of catalytic dehydration of ethanol is produced ethylene process, with ethanol distillation and chemical catalysis system ethylene process PROCESS COUPLING, concentration is that 5~45% ethanol obtain the alcohol-water mixed vapour through Distallation systm, entering after this alcohol-water mixed vapour continues to be heated to 150~350 ℃ and obtaining product through catalyst action in the gas-solid catalyticreactor is crude ethylene, after the crude ethylene cooling, use gas-liquid separation device to remove its mid-boiling point and obtain ethylene gas greater than 70 ℃ of components, ethylene gas is successively by washing, the dry and refining ethylene product that obtains.
