The extraction and rectification separation method of unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of separation method of chemical industry, the extraction and rectification separation method of particularly a kind of unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane.
Background technology
Unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane all are important basic Organic Chemicals and organic chemical industry's solvents, indane is a raw material of making synthetic resins, unsym-trimethyl benzene is widely used in Chemical Manufacture, can be used for preparing VITAMIN, dimethylbenzene, trimellitic acid 1,2-anhydride, sym-trimethylbenzene, durol and pyromellitic acid anhydride etc., the two all is present in the by product-cracking heavy aromatics of ethylene production, it is about 5% wherein to contain unsym-trimethyl benzene, indane 1~2%.Because the existence of indane is totally unfavorable to catalyzer in the trimethylbenzene subsequent reactions, so need be with the two thorough separation.
Because unsym-trimethyl benzene boiling point (168.0 ℃) and indane boiling point (176.0 ℃) are approaching, as if with the conventional distillation method to its further separation and purification, then energy consumption is too big, has directly influenced the further development and use of this part resource.With 2008 was example, China's cracking heavy aromatics annual production is about 3,000,000 tons, if wherein unsym-trimethyl benzene separates purification with indane, can produce 150000 tons of unsym-trimethyl benzenes, about 30,000 tons of indanes per year, resource is fully used, also can increases the business economic benefit greatly.
Summary of the invention
The extraction and rectification separation method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane, this method is raw material (containing 80% unsym-trimethyl benzene, 20% indane) with industrial unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane mixture, with the tetramethylene sulfone is solvent, carry out the extracting rectifying operation, separate the purification unsym-trimethyl benzene, reclaim indane simultaneously, solvent sulfolane can be recycled through regeneration.Present method is compared with the common distillating method that routine is used, and product purity is higher, and the rate of recovery is higher, and energy consumption is lower.
The technical scheme of finishing the foregoing invention task is: the extraction and rectification separation method of a kind of unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane, it is characterized in that step is as follows,
(1). with the tetramethylene sulfone is the solvent of extracting rectifying, and itself and raw mix are added extractive distillation column with certain proportioning;
(2). after the separation, cat head is high purity unsym-trimethyl benzene (〉=99.5%), and the tower still is solvent sulfolane+indane;
(3). tower still material is sent into solvent regeneration tower and is carried out distillation procedure, and the cat head production is indane (〉=98%), and the tower still is a solvent sulfolane;
(4). the indane of cat head extraction can be directly as the synthetic resins raw material; Tower still solvent sulfolane can be sent extractive distillation column back to and be recycled.
" certain proportioning " of solvent of the present invention and raw mix is meant: the mass ratio of solvent and raw mix is 2/1-4/1, and best proportion is 3/1.
The technical process of sepn process is seen shown in Figure 1, and separating apparatus adopts optimizes processing condition, can obtain the high purity unsym-trimethyl benzene after the separation, simultaneously the indane rate of recovery 〉=97%.
Advantage of the present invention: adopt technical process shown in Figure 1 and optimized parameters, raw material is that industrial unsym-trimethyl benzene and indane mixture (contain 80% unsym-trimethyl benzene, 20% indane), with the tetramethylene sulfone is solvent, at first carry out the extracting rectifying operation through extractive distillation column T1, overhead product is the unsym-trimethyl benzene of purity 〉=99.5%, tower kettle product distills processing through solvent regeneration tower T2, indane in the recyclable raw material of one side, the solvent sulfolane of extracting rectifying is recycled, operate by two towers, can obtain the unsym-trimethyl benzene product of purity 〉=99.5%, and make the indane rate of recovery 〉=97% simultaneously.Compare with the common distillating method that routine is used, product purity is higher, and the rate of recovery is higher, and energy consumption is lower.
Simultaneously, because the whole process solvent can be recycled, production cost is lower, and can not throw into question to environment.
