Background technology
Dehydrated alcohol is widely used in Chemical Manufacture raw material, organic solvent and railroad fuel etc., and wherein the dehydrated alcohol as railroad fuel claims alcohol fuel again.The external interdependency of China's energy constantly increases at present, and the energy security problem becomes increasingly conspicuous; The problem of environmental pollution of China has seriously restricted fast development of national economy; China's agriculture, rural areas and farmers problem is outstanding.It is significant to addressing the above problem to greatly develop the fuel ethanol production technology.
In traditional high concentration ethanol technological process of production, the ethanol dehydration process is what to separate with the ethanol rectifying, and concrete technical process as shown in Figure 1.The cat head gas phase 5 that obtains behind the ethanol raw material 1 process ethanol rectifying tower 2 enters condenser 15, the liquid phase material that condensation obtains enters backflow storage tank 7, wherein the Partial Liquid Phase material returns ethanol rectifying tower 2 as phegma 8, remaining liquid phase 13 enters revaporizer 14, enter absorbing unit 11 behind the revaporization after the gas phase 16, obtain the high concentration ethanol product 12 that needs after the absorption.In this flow process after rectifying, condensation obtains volume ratio is formed (the ethanol volume ratio is 97.6%) near the ethanol-water azeotropic thing liquid aqueous ethanol, because the absorbing unit inlet feed is that gas phase and pressure are greater than 150kPa, this liquid aqueous ethanol is before entering absorbing unit, need flash to gaseous state and forced feed once more, this can cause the waste of a large amount of heat energy undoubtedly.
Patent CN101525272 discloses a kind of ethanol distillation dehydration energy saving technique and equipment, as shown in Figure 2, principal character is after ethanol cat head gas phase enters condenser, only carry out partial condensation, enter the molecular sieve adsorption unit after the compressed machine compression of gas phase after the partial condensation, liquid phase is returned rectifying tower as phegma; The absolute pressure of compressor outlet is 100~700kPa.Wherein energy consumption of compressor is higher, floor space big and strictness limits for the gas phase discharge stability.The present invention has proposed a kind of improved ethanol distillation, dewatering process and equipment on this basis.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has provided an improved ethanol distillation dehydration production technique and equipment, can effectively reduce the process energy consumption, saves the high concentration ethanol production cost, has huge economic benefit and social benefit.
A kind of improved ethanol distillation dehydration production technique of the present invention, technical scheme is:
The ethanol rectifying tower adopts pressurized operation, and the absolute pressure of control compression rectification column overhead is 150~700kPa, and tower top temperature is 84 ℃~135.0.Compression rectification cat head gas phase entering part condenser, uncooled gas phase directly enters the adsorption dewatering unit, and liquid phase is returned rectifying tower as phegma.
The equipment of ethanol distillation dehydration production technique comprises ethanol compression rectification tower, fractional distillating tube, backflow storage tank, reboiler and absorbing unit; Compression rectification tower 2 cat head gas phases 5 materail tubes are connected to fractional distillating tube 6 inlets, and fractional distillating tube outlet material pipe coupling is to 7 imports of backflow storage tank, and the materail tube of storage tank gaseous phase outlet 9 is connected to absorbing unit 11 imports; Backflow storage tank liquid phase material returns the ethanol rectifying tower as phegma 8.
As shown in Figure 3, the cat head gas phase 5 entering part condensers 6 that obtain behind ethanol raw material 1 process ethanol rectifying tower 2 compression rectifications, the mixture that obtains enters backflow storage tank 7, liquid phase material wherein returns ethanol rectifying tower 2 as phegma 8, gaseous phase materials 9 enters absorbing unit 11, obtains the high concentration ethanol product 12 that needs after the absorption.
Distinctive feature of the present invention is: after ethanol compression rectification column overhead gas phase enters condenser, only carry out partial condensation, the gas phase after the partial condensation directly enters the molecular sieve adsorption unit, and liquid phase is returned rectifying tower as phegma.So just avoided evaporating the thermal waste of being brought after the condensation of aqueous ethanol steam elder generation in the traditional technology, simultaneously because the rectifying tower overhead vapours only carries out partial condensation, therefore also reduced the condensation load of rectifying tower overhead condenser, nor traditional atmosphere gas is pressurizeed with setting up compressor, can realize that technology is simpler, the purpose that energy consumption is lower.
In the described technology, the purpose of compression rectification is to make to satisfy the gaseous phase materials conditional request that enters the absorbing unit needs by the cat head gaseous pressure that comes out, and is 150~700kPa so the pressurizing tower tower top pressure reaches absolute pressure, and tower top temperature is 84 ℃~135.0 at this moment.
The present invention can effectively reduce the condensation load of heat energy, kinetic energy consumption and rectifying tower cat head in the high concentration ethanol production process, reduces the alcoholic acid production cost, has a good application prospect.
