Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reactive distillation process method and device thereof, specifically be meant a kind of novel process method and device thereof that utilizes reactive distillation next door tower synthesis of acetic acid isopropyl ester, synthetic, the product of isopropyl acetate can be separated and purify to be incorporated in the tower and finish.
Background technology
Isopropyl acetate is a kind of important Organic Chemicals and organic solvent, have good alkali resistance, hydrophobicity, isopropyl acetate has than present widely used ethyl acetate and the more superior performance of n-butyl acetate, its solubility property is better than ethyl acetate, and its volatile performance is better than n-butyl acetate.Therefore can substitute ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, be applied to industries such as medicine, coating, printing ink, tackiness agent.The technology of present industrial production isopropyl acetate has the acid alcohol esterification process, Virahol and ethyl acetate ester-interchange method (CN1785955A), and acetate and propylene direct esterification method (CN 1260203C) etc., and wherein widespread use is the acid alcohol esterification process.
Traditional acid alcohol esterification process production technique is: adopt acetate and Virahol to do the raw material esterification and produce isopropyl acetate, this method is made catalyzer with the vitriol oil or highly acidic resin, in reactor, react, obtain near the equilibrated reaction mixture, there are a series of by products to generate simultaneously, with the mixture rectifying in distillation tower that obtains thus, distill out the mixture that approaches Virahol, isopropyl acetate and water ternary heterogeneous azeotrope.Then the organic phase of the ternary heterogeneous azeotrope that obtains is thus carried out fractionation by distillation.The main drawback of this technology is to form complicated azeotrope between water, Virahol and the isopropyl acetate etc., be difficult for further being refined into the high purity isopropyl acetate, all bring certain difficulty for the refining of product and raw material recovery, and the aftertreatment of reactant will be through neutralization, washing to remove sulfuric acid, and there are problems such as equipment corrosion is serious, side reaction is many, product separation is difficult, production cost is high, wastewater treatment trouble in this technology.
The appearance of reaction rectification technique has successfully solved this problem.The reactive distillation synthesis technique organically is coupled reaction process and rectification and purification process, reactant acetate and Virahol are in reaction, reaction product isopropyl acetate and water in time leave reaction zone, reactant acetate and the concentration of Virahol in reaction zone have been improved, thereby the carrying out that has suppressed reversed reaction, so reactive distillation can effectively improve the transformation efficiency of speed of reaction and acetate.Patent CN1194957C discloses the method for a kind of reactive distillation coproduction ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate, esterification takes place with Fischer-Tropsch process alcohol mixture and acetate and generates ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate in this method under the effect of acid catalyst, mixture with ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate shifts out reaction tower as overhead product then, this overhead product obtains containing the organic phase and the water of ester mixture after the condensation phase-splitting, reclaim ethyl acetate and isopropyl acetate through a series of rectifyinges from organic phase then.
But still there is certain defective in above-mentioned reaction rectification technique: the reactive distillation cat head obtains the complicated binary or the mixture of ternary azeotrope, need follow-up a series of rectifying tower further to separate and just can obtain highly purified isopropyl acetate product with extraction tower, and the air-teturning mixed phenomenon of intermediate component in the conventional polynary rectifying can occur, thermodynamic(al) efficiency is lower.This causes energy consumption and facility investment higher, is unfavorable for increasing economic efficiency.
And utilize reactive distillation next door tower technology effectively to address the above problem.Reactive distillation next door tower is that reactive distillation processes is applied in the tower of next door, is the integrated chemical production technical of a kind of height.In the tower of reactive distillation next door, the isopropyl acetate product is extracted out by side line, in a tower, finish tasks such as esterification, isopropyl acetate purification simultaneously, a rectifying tower and a condenser have been saved, and reactive distillation next door tower can effectively be avoided the back-mixing effect of intermediate component in the conventional polynary rectifying, and the thermodynamic(al) efficiency of process is higher, thereby cut down the consumption of energy and facility investment, increase economic efficiency.
