Remove in MTP technique, the method and system of recycle DME
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method and depropanizing tower system that remove and recycle dme (DME) in a kind of preparing propylene from methanol (MTP) technique, belong to Coal Chemical Industry, gas chemical industry field.
Background technology
Low-carbon alkene (ethene, propylene etc.) as important basic chemical raw materials, the catalytic cracking/cracking of main source and petroleum naphtha, solar oil (all from oil).China's oil shortage of resources, petroleum import interdependency increases year by year, limits the development of producing ethene and propylene product with petrochemical industry route to a certain extent.
The market has openings of China's ethene and propylene is comparatively large, and at present, due to the impact by ethane cracking ethene, the market has openings of domestic ethene reduces gradually, and the market has openings of propylene is still very large.The propylene only produced by petroleum cracking route can not meet the demand in market far away, and the new technology therefore developing propylene enhancing is extremely urgent to expand propylene source, and preparing propylene from methanol technology is one of important method solving this present situation.
MTO and MTP is mainly contained by the Technology of preparing low carbon olefinic hydrocarbon with methanol.MTO (MethanoltoOlefin) refers to by preparing low carbon olefinic hydrocarbon with methanol (ethene and propylene).MTP (MethanoltoPropylene) refers to by methyl alcohol preparing propone.At present, two kinds of techniques have industrial applications, respectively have its advantage.Adopt these Technology preparing low-carbon olefins, as the important supplement means of traditional petrochemical industry route ethene, for many coals, oil-poor, weak breath China will there is very important strategic importance.
The patented technology in this field of report is a lot of both at home and abroad at present, as Chinese patent CN202246473, CN101050160A etc., mainly lays particular emphasis on MTP, MTO Technology aspect.What CN202246473 patent solved is the Moisture Content of propylene product, and CN101050160A patent discloses the alkene with 3 carbon atoms from the method for separation of olefins with 4 carbon atoms.In MTP technique, how dme (DME) removes and recycle this vital problem from propylene product does not but have report.The boiling point of DME and propylene, propane are close, are difficult to be separated by traditional rectifying tower, if the propylene product of preparation is because of containing DME impurity, be that source is prepared low-carbon alkene technology and is subject to huge restriction with methyl alcohol by making, the benefit of propylene product will greatly reduce.Developing a kind of simple, that DME removes and recycles efficiently process system can from the process of industrialization of the aspect propelling methanol-to-olefins technology such as energy consumption, process cost, cost of equipment.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide the method and system removing and recycle dme (DME) in a kind of simple preparing propylene from methanol (MTP) technique efficiently.Hydro carbons wherein containing three carbon atoms in patent of the present invention is abbreviated as C3 hydrocarbon, and the hydro carbons containing more than four carbon atoms is abbreviated as C4
+hydrocarbon, DME/ methyl alcohol represents the mixing solutions of DME and methyl alcohol.The main nail alcohol of MTP technique (in DME reactor) under the effect of catalyzer generates DME, DME/ methyl alcohol (in MTP reactor) under the effect of MTP catalyzer generates the hydro carbons of different carbonatoms, hydro carbons is separated through rectifying tower and obtains propylene product, attached product ethene, LPG, gasoline products.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, remove in a kind of MTP technique of the present invention, the method for recycle DME, contain methane, ethane, ethene, propylene, C3 hydrocarbon, C4+ hydrocarbon and unreacted DME material from upstream to enter depropanizing tower and carry out rectifying separation, directly dissolve with methanol solution DME is injected in depropanizing tower, methane, ethane, ethene, propylene, C3 hydrocarbon are steamed from tower top, and C4+ hydrocarbon and DME/ methyl alcohol distillate and enter extracting and separating tank at the bottom of tower.In extracting and separating tank, DME/ methyl alcohol enters methanol distillation column after being separated with C4+ hydrocarbon, and the refining DME/ methyl alcohol steamed through methanol distillation column sends into DME reactor, is DME in DME reactor by methanol conversion.DME and the newly-generated DME of dissolve with methanol enter MTP reactor as raw material, carry out cycling and reutilization, and reaction generates the hydro carbons of different carbonatoms.A C4+ hydrocarbon part returns MTP reactor as recycle hydrocarbons and reacts, and another part is as LPG output of products.DME, C2 ~ C6 hydrocarbon catalyzed reaction can be generated small molecule hydrocarbon product by MTP reactor catalyst.
