Description

The production method of p-Xylol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of production method of p-Xylol.
Background technology
P-Xylol is the important source material of polyester industrial, mainly for the production of pure terephthalic acid (PTA) or pure terephthalic acid's dimethyl ester (DMT), and then gone to produce polyester (PET) by PTA and DMT, separating mixed dimethyl is the main production process of p-Xylol.Xylol is primarily of p-Xylol, m-xylene, o-Xylol and ethylbenzene composition, and the boiling point difference between each component is very little, but fusing point difference is comparatively large, can adopt crystallization process separating paraxylene.
Patent US5498822 discloses a kind of crystallization method of separating paraxylene, and the method is first carried out pre-cooled by pre-cooler to xylol raw material, is then separated by single-stage crystallisation process and obtains highly purified para-xylene product.In the crystallization production process of reality, the temperature difference of refrigerant temperature and xylol raw material is very large, p-Xylol in raw material is easily at the heat-transfer surface crystallization of pre-cooler, thus reduce the heat transfer effect of pre-cooler, pre-cooler can be blocked time serious, later crystallization process normally cannot be carried out, thus need often to clean pre-cooler.Carry out the running cost that pre-cooler cleaning will increase crystallization production process frequently, be also unfavorable for the continuous and steady operation of later crystallization process.In single-stage crystallisation process, for obtaining the higher rate of recovery, Tc is usually lower, gained paraxylene crystals temperature is also lower, therefore, when using pure p-Xylol liquid product to wash, the easily recrystallization precipitation in washing process of pure p-Xylol, and then blocking filtration channel, make washing process be difficult to carry out, be difficult to obtain good washing effect.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the energy consumption existed in the crystallization method of existing production p-Xylol is large, pre-cooler fouling is serious, the problem of crystal washing difficulty, provides a kind of production method of new p-Xylol.The method has that energy consumption is low, pre-cooler fouling is light, the advantage of crystal convenient for washing.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention adopts technical scheme as follows: a kind of production method of p-Xylol, comprises the following steps:
A) in the incoming stock tundish of xylol raw material, a part of raw material I turns back in raw material tundish after mother liquor heat exchanger and pre-cooler cool, and a part of raw material II enters in magma tank, and its Raw I is 1 ~ 100:1 with the ratio of the weight of raw material II;
B) magma in magma tank obtains pre-separation mother liquor and concentrated magma after thickener thickening, pre-separation mother liquor enters in crystallizer and carries out crystallization, concentrated magma is separated through solid-liquid separator and obtains filtrated stock and paraxylene crystals, filtrated stock enters in crystallizer and carries out crystallization, wherein, pre-separation mother liquor is 0.1 ~ 10:1 with the ratio of the weight of filtrated stock;
C) paraxylene crystals fusing after heating in melting tank, the p-Xylol of 5 ~ 30% weight returns solid-liquid separator as washings, and the p-Xylol of 70 ~ 95% weight is as product introduction products pot;
D) magma in crystallizer obtains paraxylene crystals and crystallization filtrated stock after solid-liquid separator is separated, and paraxylene crystals turns back in magma tank;
E) crystallization filtrated stock is divided into two strands, and first gang of crystallization filtrated stock I accounting for 5 ~ 95% weight returns in crystallizer, and second gang of crystallization filtrated stock II accounting for 5 ~ 95% weight enters mother liquor tank after mother liquor heat exchanger cools xylol raw material I.
In technique scheme, magma tank is adiabatic operation; Crystallizer is vertically scrape wall crystallizer, is taper bottom it; First burst of crystallization accounting for 5 ~ 95% weight is filtered female I liquid and is turned back to the vertical tapered section scraping wall crystallizer; Solid-liquid separator is whizzer, filter or crystal washing tower; Thickener is gravity settling tank, solid-liquid cyclone.
Preferred technical scheme, step a) Raw I is 10 ~ 60:1 with the ratio of the weight of raw material II.Preferred technical scheme, in step b), pre-separation mother liquor is 1 ~ 8:1 with the ratio of the weight of filtrated stock.Preferred technical scheme, in step c), the p-Xylol of 10 ~ 20% weight returns solid-liquid separator as washings, and the p-Xylol of 80 ~ 90% weight is as product introduction products pot.Preferred technical scheme, in step c), first gang of crystallization filtrated stock I accounting for 20 ~ 80% weight returns in crystallizer, and second gang of crystallization filtrated stock II accounting for 20 ~ 80% weight enters mother liquor tank after mother liquor heat exchanger cools xylol raw material I.
In technique scheme, before xylol raw material enters crystallizer, utilize crystallization filtrated stock to cool xylol raw material, reclaimed the cold of crystallization filtrated stock, decrease the energy consumption of precooling process.Xylol raw material after precooling does not directly enter in crystallizer, but turn back in raw material tundish, from raw material tundish, draw separately one raw material again enter in crystallizer and carry out crystallization, its benefit is: the flow entering the xylol raw material of pre-cooler can be very large, feed rate not by later crystallization device limits, thus the flow velocity of raw material in pre-cooler can be improved, to strengthen the heat transfer effect of pre-cooler, can prevent p-Xylol crystallization in precooling process from forming brilliant dirt simultaneously.The benefit arranging magma tank is: the raw material utilizing temperature higher heats up to crystal, both reclaimed the cold of crystal, and melted again part fine crystals, the magma after intensification is convenient to solid-liquid separation, and the crystalline temp obtained is higher, the recrystallization phenomenon of washings in washing process can be prevented; Melt portions fine crystals can improve the crystal mean particle size in magma tank, is convenient to follow-up solid-liquid separation, and the p-Xylol after fusing can enter in later crystallization device and carry out crystallization, can not cause product loss.Magma solid content in magma tank is lower, can not meet the feed needs of follow-up whizzer, therefore utilizes thickener to concentrate the magma in magma tank, to meet the feed needs of follow-up whizzer.Vertically scrape the knot wall phenomenon that wall crystallizer effectively can prevent crystal, and conical lower portion can carry out partial concentration to magma, makes the solid content in magma can meet the feed needs of follow-up whizzer, ensure that whizzer runs under optimum condition.For preventing the magma feed opening being blocked after concentrating, partial crystallization filtrated stock turns back to crystallizer from the tapered section of crystallizer and is used for washing away feed opening, and regulates the magma solid content in crystallizer, to guarantee that crystallisation process carries out continuously.
The crystallization using the crystallization method of production p-Xylol of the present invention to carry out p-Xylol is produced, the energy consumption for cooling of raw material precooling process has saved 31.8%, cleaning interval of pre-cooler maximumly can extend to 240 days by 90 days, efficiently solve the problem that the fouling of precool heat exchanger device is serious, in magma tank, utilize raw material to heat up to crystal, improve follow-up solid-liquid separation and crystal washing effect, the purity of para-xylene product reaches 99.9%, achieves good technique effect.
