Description

There is the method for the integrated separating ethylene glycol of heat and 1,2-butyleneglycol
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method, particularly a kind of energy-saving process method of separating-purifying ethylene glycol from the liquid product of hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol with the integrated separating ethylene glycol of heat and 1,2-butyleneglycol.
Background technology
Ethylene glycol is a kind of important basic organic chemical industry raw material, is mainly used in producing polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with terephthalic acid copolymerization.In addition, ethylene glycol also can be used for producing frostproofer, lubricant, softening agent, nonionogenic tenside and explosive etc., and purposes widely.China is the consumption big country of ethylene glycol, being constructed and put into operation in recent years along with a collection of large-scale PET device, rapid to the increase in demand of ethylene glycol, the output of current domestic ethylene glycol far can not satisfy the demands, China's ethylene glycol in 2010 import volume be 664.4 ten thousand tons, estimate that the import volume of ethylene glycol in 2011 will more than 7,000,000 tons, therefore, the ethylene glycol industry of China has good development prospect.
Be that the operational path of raw material production ethylene glycol has multiple with coal, what wherein have most industrial prospect is be coupled producing oxalic ester through synthetic gas, then by the route of producing ethylene glycol from hydrogenation of oxalic ester.In the liquid-phase reaction product of hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol, except containing except the lower material of the boiling point such as methyl alcohol, ethyl glycolate, also containing a small amount of 1,2-propylene glycol and 1,2-butyleneglycol etc. and ethylene glycol boiling point close to and easily with ethylene glycol azeotropic, be difficult to the material that is separated by conventional distillation, wherein 1,2-butyleneglycol and ethylene glycol boiling point closest, be separated with ethylene glycol is the most difficult.
About the separation of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butyleneglycol, especially the process for separating and purifying of hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol liquid product rarely has report both at home and abroad.CN101928201 proposes by saponification reaction, the technical scheme purification synthetic gas glycol rude products going methyl alcohol, hydrogenation reaction, three tower conventional distillations and adsorption treatment.Because of 1,2-butyleneglycol in three-tower rectification separating-purifying process and ethylene glycol generation azeotropic in technical scheme involved by this patent, the two separation completely unrealized, and bring the product loss of ethylene glycol, reduce product yield.Adoptable ethylene glycol separating-purifying alternative techniques is the technique that conventional distillation combines with azeotropic distillation, need four knockout towers (hereinafter referred to as common four tower separating technologies), its technical process be barkite hydrogenation liquid product successively through light constituents such as the first knockout tower methanol removals, to remove the light constituents such as ester class through the second knockout tower, through the 3rd knockout tower (i.e. azeotropy rectification column) separating ethylene glycol and 1,2-butyleneglycol, refine through the 4th knockout tower the ethylene glycol product obtaining higher degree.Common four tower separating technologies achieve the separation completely of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butyleneglycol, and sepn process is simple, and ethylene glycol yield is high, purity is high, ISOUV value is high.
But, also there is following shortcoming in above-mentioned common four tower separating technologies: 1) due to methanol content in the liquid product of hydrogenation of oxalate for preparing ethylene glycol very high (being about 80%), the methyl alcohol removed wherein causes the hot and cold energy consumption of the first knockout tower very high, accounts for 60 ~ 80% of whole process energy consumption; 2), after the 3rd knockout tower adds entrainer, overhead vapours amount is comparatively large, and due to tower top azeotrope temperature higher, the cold needed for this some vapor of condensation is comparatively large, accounts for the second that whole process energy consumes; Therefore, if the overhead vapours of the 3rd knockout tower can be utilized, carry out heat by the 3rd knockout tower and the first knockout tower integrated, system will have certain energy saving space.If consider, the temperature of the overhead vapours of the 4th knockout tower and tower reactor liquid is high compared with the bottom temperature of the first knockout tower again, and the tower reactor ethylene glycol product of the 4th knockout tower needs cooling further to collect storage, 4th knockout tower and the first knockout tower are carried out heat integrated, system will have the further energy saving space.
