Description

The separation method that is used for producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of separation method that is used for producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol.
Background technology
Ethene is crucial petrochemical materials, and its large derived product mainly contains Vilaterm, oxyethane, terepthaloyl moietie, SE, vinylbenzene, vinyl acetate between to for plastic etc.
Production technique (the Gu Zhihua of existing ethylene prepared by catalytic dehydration of ethylene; The producing ethylene with ethyl alcohol state of the art and prospect [J]. chemical progress; 2006; 25 (8): production process 847-851) is: feed ethanol through preheater, vaporizer heating back all vaporization send the ethanol dehydration reaction system to react, after the reaction product (containing resultant of reaction ethene, water, unreacted ethanol etc.) of coming out from the dehydration reaction system is sent washing, scale to wash etc. to wash removal impurity; After compression, drying, get into ethylene rectification tower and carry out rectifying separation, obtain ethylene product from ethylene rectification tower top or cat head; And the ethanol of discharging from the tower still is sent to waste-water treatment tower with the mixed solution of components such as water together with the water wash column tower bottoms.
One of characteristics of existing method are to adopt soda-wash tower to remove the sour gas in the reaction product, but owing to material in the system that removes sour gas in the ethylene unit is dirtier, contain impurity such as some high boiling material and polymkeric substance, result in blockage easily.And the hypomere of existing alkali cleaning equipment does not have any inner member, forms the gas-liquid skewness easily herein, and it is undesirable to cause removing the sour gas effect; Not only cause final product purity lower; And, because the phenomenon of the stifled tower of soda-wash tower, cause in the soda-wash tower in the sour gas and not exclusively get into follow-up workshop section; With the operation that has a strong impact on follow-up tower, shorten the device operational cycle.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is that ethylene product purity is low in the technological process of production of producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol, and the problem that the device operational cycle is short provides a kind of method of new producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol.This method has simple to operate, removes sour gas to greatest extent, guarantees the characteristics of product purity and device long-term operation.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the technical scheme that the present invention adopts is following: a kind of separation method that is used for producing ethylene from dehydration of ethanol may further comprise the steps:
1. contain ethene, ethanol water and other impurity reaction product and get into water wash column from the bottom, water gets into water wash column from top, discharges with unreacted ethanol and other impurity at the bottom of the washing Tata, obtains the logistics I at the water wash column top;
2. logistics I gets into soda-wash tower from the bottom, obtains the logistics II at the soda-wash tower top;
3. logistics II therefrom, the bottom gets into ethylene rectification tower, is the ethylene product of 90~99wt% from ethylene distillation column overhead extraction purity, and the ethylene distillation tower bottoms is discharged into subsequent handling.
In the technique scheme, because the temperature of reaction discharging is higher, preferred version is removed impurity such as ethanol, acetaldehyde for adopting water wash column to its washing and cooling; Water wash column adopts packing tower or tray column, and its theoretical plate number is 2~40; Logistics preferred version after the washing washs it for adopting soda-wash tower, removes acid gas impurities such as carbonic acid gas, and soda-wash tower adopts the biological ethane soda-wash tower; The crude ethylene that obtains after the alkali cleaning is sent into the middle and lower part of ethylene rectification tower; Pass back in the tower from the trim the top of column mouth from gas part after the ethylene condenser condensation of ethylene distillation column overhead extraction; The part that do not reflux is as the ethylene product extraction, and extraction purity is the ethylene product of 90~99wt%.The reflux ratio of ethylene rectification tower is 1.2~3.5, and the phegma temperature is-15~-60 ℃.Ethylene rectification tower adopts packing tower or tray column, and its theoretical plate number is 50~120, and wherein rectifying section is 20~85 blocks of theoretical trays, and tower top pressure is 0.6~4.0MPaG, and tower top temperature is-15~-50 ℃.
The present invention after reactor tail gas gets into hypomere, because the effect of inner member has produced a new gas distribution, has reduced the polymerization meeting of aldehydes owing to adopt special soda-wash tower.Because newly-increased inner member has the certain amount of fluid passage, therefore be difficult for being stopped up by polymeric impurities, obviously improved the stifled tower phenomenon in the full scale plant.Full scale plant is used proof, and the stifled tower phenomenon of soda-wash tower has reduced by 50% at least, has obtained better technical effect.
