Abstract

In the present invention, a purified terephthalic slurry generated in the process of producing high-purity terephthalic acid by liquid-phase oxidation and hydrogenation purification using p-xylene as a starting material is separated into a primary mother liquor and primary crystals of the purified terephthalic acid. Terephthalic acid as well as p-toluic acid and other dissolved matter are cooled and precipitated in the separated primary mother liquor, and separated by filtration to separate out and recover low-purity terephthalic acid crystals, as a part of a raw material for the liquid-phase oxidation reaction of p-xylene. Terephthalic acid crystals are newly added to and mixed in the separated primary mother liquor, and thereafter the mixture is fed to a cooling tank adjusted to have a reduced pressure less than atmospheric pressure, and cooled by pressure relief, thereby improving the filterability of the precipitated matter. The amount of residual dissolved matter in a secondary mother liquor also separated by filtration is reduced.

Description

The treatment process of purified terephthalic mother liquor
Technical field
The present invention relates to the treatment process of purified terephthalic mother liquor,, in the technique of manufacturing highly purified purified terephthalic (PTA), the treatment process that the mother liquor that the solid-liquid separation from the purified terephthalic slurry is obtained (mother liquor) is processed effectively; This technique, that the dissolving crystallized of the crude terephthalic acid that will manufacture by the liquid-phase oxidation of p-Xylol is in the water of high temperature, high pressure, carry out after hydrofinishing carrying out cooling, generate the purified terephthalic slurry, then, carry out drying through solid-liquid separation and washing procedure, manufacture highly purified purified terephthalic (PTA).
Background technology
Take p-Xylol as raw material, in acetate solvate and under the existence of oxide catalyst, utilize oxygen-containing gas to carry out liquid-phase oxidation, manufacture crude terephthalic acid (CTA), afterwards, crude terephthalic acid is dissolved in the water solvent of high temperature, high pressure, under the existence of reducing catalyst, utilize hydrogen-containing gas to carry out hydrofinishing, obtain Purified Water solution, the cooling Crystallization Procedure that bleeds off pressure through pressure stage property ground is reduced, generate the purified terephthalic slurry again.Then, carry out the solid-liquid separation of this purified terephthalic slurry and reclaim crystallization, as fiber with, film the high purity terephthalic acid by the polyester manufacturing direction of, bottle use, manufacture purified terephthalic (PTA) crystalline powder that has passed through drying process.
In such manufacturing process, when generating highly purified terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (primary crystallization), the contained impurity such as 4-carboxyl benzaldehyde (4-CBA) of crude terephthalic acid are reduced into para Toluic Acid etc. by hydrogenation, bleed off pressure cooling after, generate the dissolved separation mother liquor of most para Toluic Acid (mother liquor).In addition, simultaneously, in separation temperature to become during saturated terephthalic acid also is dissolved in this mother liquor.
Therefore, proposed further to carry out cooling by this mother liquor, make to dissolve terephthalic acid and dissolved impurity is separated out, reclaim the low terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (secondary crystal) of purity, the oxidizing reaction of itself and p-Xylol is coexisted etc. and effectively utilize method (No. 56-35175, examined patent publication, No. 5-58948, Unexamined Patent).
On the other hand, also propose directly carry out or the processing such as distill respectively having isolated mother liquor (secondary mother liquid) after this low-purity terephthaldehyde acid crystal (secondary crystal), make water solvent for dissolving the crude terephthalic acid crystallization and reused etc. and effectively to use the method for secondary mother liquid.
But, the para Toluic Acid of containing a large amount of impurity that becomes purified terephthalic (PTA) crystallization in secondary mother liquid due to this motion, therefore, being only limited to a part directly uses as the water solvent that dissolves crude terephthalic acid (CTA) crystallization, after distilling respectively and process with 25~125 sections of reflux ratio 2~10 and number of theoretical platess, the washing water of the dissolved water using recycle-water as crude terephthalic acid or purified terephthalic (PTA) crystallization (primary crystallization) are used (No. 5-58948, Unexamined Patent).
The sensing of the reduction of the expansion needed along with polyester and economizing on resources in recent years, carrying capacity of environment, these motions are being applied to manufacture in high purity terephthalic acid's commercial apparatus.Therefore, the demand that a large amount of mother liquors is applied flexibly uprises, and thus, for the problem of practical application, also highlights.
As one of its problem, mother liquor is being carried out when cooling, although be cooled to final separation temperature quickly, now, due to the particle diameter of secondary crystal attenuates, the secondary crystal retrieving arrangement forms high loading and fine crystalline to the adhering to of refrigerating unit etc., obstruction etc., practicality in, existence bothers.Therefore, following improvement method has been proposed: mother liquor being bled off pressure when cooling, adopt a plurality of cooling tanks that periodically reduce pressure to make secondary crystal separate out (No. 2006-8671, JP).
In addition, because the usage quantity of secondary mother liquid enlarges, therefore proposed to make secondary mother liquid further to contact with the synthetic sorbing material such as SEPABEADS (Mitsubishi Chemical's system) and eliminated para Toluic Acid's method.(No. 2006-8671, JP)
In above situation, the inventor etc. have proposed the treatment process of a mother liquor: under the existence of terephthaldehyde's acid crystal, a mother liquor is carried out to flash distillation (bleeding off pressure) and/or heating evaporation, make vaporized solvent vapour condense, reclaim, obtain the recycle-water that foreign matter content further reduces, thus, increase the amount of re-using.The treatment process of this mother liquor, not to use the distillation tower of 2~10 reflux ratio, 25~125 number of theoretical plates to distill respectively, but the condensation water that can produce by obtaining evaporation operation reclaims the further method (WO2009/141968) of the water medium of reduction of para Toluic Acid.

Summary of the invention
The problem that invention will solve
As mentioned above, when the method that separated mother liquor from terephthalic acid refinement (mother liquor) is separated into respectively to secondary crystal and secondary mother liquid and carries out effectively utilizing is applied to utility unit, the suspension that mother liquor generates by method of cooling is because suspended particles (secondary crystal) are fine and have adhesivity, therefore, there is difficult point in processing, in the separation of these suspended particles (secondary crystal), can cause the obstruction of strainer or the decline of the rate of recovery.
On the other hand, secondary mother liquid is because dissolved impurity is residual, when the dissolved water of using as hydrofinishing recycles, need the processing such as evaporation or distillation, to this, when direct circulation is used not carrying out any processing, there is the restricted problem of its purposes and usage quantity thereof.
The object of the invention is to: when manufacturing purified terephthalic, with simple treatment process and good strainability Separation and Recovery low-purity terephthaldehyde acid crystal (secondary crystal) from isolated mother liquor together with primary crystallization (mother liquor).
In addition, the object of the invention is to: recycle the low-purity terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (secondary crystal) with good strainability Separation and Recovery in the part by the manufacture raw material at terephthalic acid, improve yield of terephthalic acid, and then reduce the dissolved impurity amount in mother liquor one time, and reduce generation and the wastewater treatment load of the water re-used.
For solving the means of problem
Usually, the purified terephthalic slurry is depressed (0.2~0.9MPa) solid-liquid separation adding, and separates mother liquor (mother liquor) and obtains with the temperature of about 120~170 ℃ under pressure.Therefore, the present inventor etc. add in this mother liquor, mix terephthaldehyde's acid crystal after, being supplied to the decompression be adjusted in subatmospheric cooling tank, bled off pressure cooling, make crystallization, thus, arrival can obtain the treatment process of the cooling suspension of the filtering feature excellence that adhesivity is improved.
In order to solve above-mentioned problem, the invention provides a kind for the treatment of process of purified terephthalic mother liquor, it is characterized in that, the crude terephthalic acid that to manufacture by the liquid-phase oxidation of p-Xylol is dissolved in the water under high temperature, high pressure, after carrying out hydrofinishing, carry out coolingly, generate the purified terephthalic slurry, while making this slurry manufacture highly purified purified terephthalic, comprise following operation:
One separation process: crystallization (primary crystallization) and the mother liquor (mother liquor) of isolating purified terephthalic from this purified terephthalic slurry;
Cooling suspension generates operation: add terephthaldehyde's acid crystal in described isolated mother liquor (mother liquor) after, being supplied to reduces pressure is adjusted into and is bled off pressure coolingly in subatmospheric cooling tank, generates thus cooling suspension; And
Secondary separation operation: carry out filtering separation under the pressure by this cooling suspension more than normal atmosphere, terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (secondary crystal) of Separation and Recovery low-purity.
In addition, it is characterized in that, in described one separation process, under pressure by this purified terephthalic slurry more than the vapour pressure of the approximately temperature of 120~170 ℃ and these slurries (approximately 0.2~0.9MPa), mother liquor (mother liquor) is separated, at described cooling suspension, generate in operation, add terephthaldehyde's acid crystal in isolated mother liquor (mother liquor) after, be supplied to and bled off pressure coolingly in the cooling tank under the decompression that is adjusted into about 1.3~53kPa (approximately 10~400mmHg), generate thus cooling suspension.
In addition, it is characterized in that, generate in operation at described cooling suspension, isolated mother liquor (mother liquor) is prepared into slurries and adds terephthaldehyde's acid crystal with the ratio of 0.05~1 % by weight with water.
In addition, it is characterized in that, generate in operation at described cooling suspension, terephthaldehyde's acid crystal that isolated mother liquor (mother liquor) is added be by the purified terephthalic crystallizing and drying crystalline powder.
In addition, it is characterized in that, in described secondary separation operation, from the purity of this cooling suspension Separation and Recovery, low terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (secondary crystal) is used as the part of raw material of the liquid phase oxidation reaction of described p-Xylol.
In addition, it is characterized in that, in described secondary separation operation, be used as dissolving the part of the water of crude terephthalic acid from the isolated mother liquor of this cooling suspension (secondary mother liquid).
In the present invention, by mother liquor of the suspension to having added in advance, mixed terephthaldehyde's acid crystal, bled off pressure cooling, be dissolved in the material of separating out in mother liquor, the such crystallinity impurity of terephthalic acid and para Toluic Acid particularly, the terephthalic acid crystalline particle that added of take is separated out or is adsorbed as core and is attached to this crystal surface, generate as the impurity that adds the growth of terephthalic acid crystalline particle, therefore think that adhesivity, filterableness are improved.
Then, low-purity terephthaldehyde's acid crystal (secondary crystal) that this cooling suspension further adheres to as impurity by filtering separation is reclaimed, but the filterableness of this suspension of the serious inequality of the size distribution of the suspension crystallization particle after growth is improved, the tack of secondary crystal also is improved, thereby can obtain the suspension of practicality.
As the part of the manufacture raw material of the terephthalic acid of the liquid-phase oxidation of p-Xylol and supply with the secondary crystal of recovery, much less the terephthalic acid that partial crystallization goes out, both made as the reaction intermediates such as para Toluic Acid of impurity also oxidized and contribute to improve the terephthalic acid utilization ratio, and, the terephthaldehyde's acid crystal that adds, mixes also is recycled recovery, without manufacturing loss.
On the other hand, isolated secondary mother liquid with do not add terephthaldehyde's acid crystal and utilize the existing isolated secondary mother liquid of method to compare, can significantly reduce as the dissolution of metals of para Toluic Acid's content of dissolved impurity and trace etc., also can increase the amount of re-using that is cycled to used in the water solvent that hydrofinishing uses.In addition, the dissolved impurity minimizing in secondary mother liquid refers to when as trade effluent, carrying out wastewater treatment, the minimizing of the carryings capacity of the environment such as oxygen requirement chemically (COD).
In addition, although any terephthalic acid all has effect to the terephthaldehyde's acid crystal added, mix, but preferably dry terephthalic acid, particularly purified terephthalic (PTA) crystallization is the use of high purity terephthalic acid's goods, to reducing para Toluic Acid's content, presents effect.Think this be because crystal surface because the drying of terephthaldehyde's acid crystal enlarges (roughness on pore, surface increases) or sensitization, the amount of adsorptive power and absorption increases, have with terephthalic acid the terephthalic acid crystal surface that the dissolved impurity of the affinity on physical chemistry is added and adsorb in a large number, the residual impurity in secondary mother liquid reduces.
Although these effects make the foreign matter content of secondary crystal increase, the intermediates such as para Toluic Acid, along with the increase of the ratio of recovery, bring desirable result to improving the phthalic acid utilization ratio.
The invention effect
According to the present invention, by by add the crystallization of terephthalic acid in mother liquor, be cooled to lower than after under normal atmosphere bleeding off pressure, carry out the simple processing operation of filtering separation formation, more remarkable to the practical function that improves these primary treatment methods of foreign matter content in the filterableness that generates Crystallization Separation, the rate of recovery that improves secondary crystal and reduction secondary mother liquid.That is, the stability increase that the improvement of filterableness makes filtration velocity improve and filter, and can make strainer less, and can carry out stable continuous or semi-continuous running.In addition, by steady running, improved the rate of recovery of secondary crystal, the equipment cost of strainer and maintain the expense of management and the labor force reduces.
In addition, owing to reclaiming the part of secondary crystal as the oxidizing reaction raw material, re-used, therefore, the raising of the rate of recovery of secondary crystal goes far towards to improve the utilization ratio of crude terephthalic acid and purified terephthalic.
And then the minimizing of the dissolved impurity of secondary mother liquid (para Toluic Acid) is related to the raising of the rate of recovery of secondary crystal, and the ratio that secondary mother liquid is cycled to used in the water that dissolves crude terephthalic acid can be increased, new dissolved water can be cut down.Therefore, wastewater treatment capacity, carrying capacity of the environment all reduce.
In addition, the minimizing of the secondary mother liquid amount recycled, much less can reduce wastewater treatment capacity, and the loads such as COD (oxygen requirement of chemistry) of waste water are reduced, and be related to the minimizing of all wastewater treatment lifting capacity, and the effect in practicality is remarkable.
In addition, owing to having reduced the dissolved impurity in the secondary mother liquid (para Toluic Acid), therefore, do not need the further processing (No. 2006-8671, JP) contacted with synthetic sorbing material, obtain the simple treatment process of effect of the present invention when being the processing with a mother liquor.
