Description

Method for separating butanone-isopropanol-ethanol azeotrope through three-tower pressure swing distillation
[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The invention belongs to the field of chemical separation and purification, relates to a method for separating butanone-isopropanol-ethanol azeotrope by three-tower pressure swing distillation, and particularly relates to a method for changing azeotropic composition and azeotropic point condition of a system by pressure change.
[ background of the invention ]
Butanone is an excellent organic solvent and an organic synthetic raw material, and is mainly used as various resin solvents in the paint industry; isopropanol is an important chemical raw material, can be used for organic synthesis, and can also be widely used as an antifreezing additive of petroleum fuel, automobile and aviation fuel and the like; ethanol is the most widely used alcohol and is an important organic synthetic raw material and an organic solvent. Butanone, isopropanol and ethanol need to be introduced in the production process of some chemical products and biological products, and the mixture formed by the butanone, the isopropanol and the ethanol also needs to be separated and purified in the post-treatment process. In the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction process, most of oxygen atoms in CO generate water, a small amount of water enters oxygen-containing organic matters such as aldol acid and the like, and short-chain oxygen-containing organic matters are easily dissolved in a water phase during oil-water separation, so that a certain amount of aldol acid oxygen-containing organic matters are contained in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water. The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water contains oxygen-containing organic matters of aldol ketonic acid esters with different carbon numbers, the composition is complex, the difficulty in separating and recovering the organic matters in the water is very high, and the effective separation can be realized by multi-step combined treatment of various separation methods. According to the composition of oxygen-containing organic matters in the high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water, a reasonable initial separation principle method and indexes are determined, and the method plays a very important role in optimizing and saving energy of a reaction water separation process. A ternary mixture of butanone, isopropanol and ethanol belongs to a near-boiling point system, the maximum temperature difference among the components is only 4 ℃, and the butanone, the isopropanol and the ethanol form binary azeotropes respectively. Under the conditions of normal pressure and high pressure, the azeotropic point of butanone-isopropanol and the vertex of ethanol are saddle points, the vertex of butanone and isopropanol are stable points, the azeotropic point of butanone-ethanol is an unstable point, a rectification boundary curve points to the azeotropic point of butanone-isopropanol from the azeotropic point of butanone-ethanol, and pure substances are ethanol-butanone-isopropanol in sequence from low boiling point to high boiling point; under the condition of low pressure, the azeotropic point of butanone-isopropanol, the top point of ethanol and the top point of butanone are saddle points, the top point of isopropanol is a stable point node, the azeotropic point of butanone-isopropanol disappears, the rectification boundary disappears, and the pure substances are butanone-ethanol-isopropanol in the sequence from low boiling point to high boiling point. By adopting the traditional rectification separation method, a larger reflux ratio and a larger number of theoretical plates are needed, and the separation of the mixture can not meet the purity requirement of enterprises. Therefore, a special separation method is used to separate the ternary mixture. The pressure swing distillation is widely applied to related fields due to the advantages of simple process, no introduction of other solvents, strong heat integration and the like.
The patent (102992985A) discloses a method and a device for recovering butanone from a methanol-ethanol-butanone-benzene-water system by three-tower pressure swing rectification heat integration separation, wherein butanone is recovered from the methanol-ethanol-butanone-benzene-water system by a heat integration pressure swing rectification process, but the separation and purification of ethanol are not realized, and the mixed system does not contain isopropanol.
The patent (CN101244983A) discloses a method for separating and recovering organic matters in low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water, which adopts a series of rectification separation methods to effectively and orderly separate and recover methanol, ethanol, normal propyl alcohol, acetone and butanone in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction water, wherein the acetone yield is more than 87%, and the rest product yields are more than 90%.
The patent (CN105254532A) discloses a method for separating acetonitrile-methanol-benzene ternary azeotrope by three-tower pressure swing distillation, the mixture forms an azeotrope between two components under normal pressure, and efficient separation and recovery of acetonitrile-methanol-benzene under different operating pressures are realized by utilizing the pressure sensitive characteristic of azeotropic composition. The method is suitable for separating systems of acetonitrile-methanol-benzene and the like which form azeotrope pairwise, and is not suitable for separating butanone-isopropanol-ethanol azeotrope.
The invention adopts a method for separating butanone-isopropanol-ethanol azeotrope by three-tower pressure swing distillation, and has obvious economic, environmental and social benefits. By utilizing the characteristics that the azeotropic composition of a butanone-isopropanol-ethanol ternary system and the azeotropic point change along with the pressure change, the change conditions of a residual curve and a rectification boundary along with the pressure are researched. Butanone, isopropanol and ethanol form a binary minimum azeotrope under normal pressure, a connecting line between the two azeotropic points forms a rectification boundary, and a rectification area is divided into two areas. Under the condition of low pressure, the azeotropic point of butanone and isopropanol disappears, no rectification boundary is formed, and the boiling point sequence of each pure substance in the ternary system under high pressure and low pressure changes. The method is suitable for a ternary azeotropic system with the mass fraction of butanone being 0.7, the mass fraction of isopropanol being 0.1 and the mass fraction of ethanol being 0.2. Therefore, the separation method has certain guiding significance for the separation of the ternary azeotrope sensitive to the pressure.
