The invention provides the improved method that unreacting acetal is reclaimed in a kind of butynediols synthetic reaction product from butynediols synthesis reactor downstream.

Description

Improved formaldehyde recovery method
Technical field
During butanediol is manufactured by the raw material comprising acetylene, formaldehyde and hydrogen, for commercial petroleum chemical plant For operation, the cost associated with the recycling of unreacting acetal is critical.The present invention relates to a kind of improved method, institute State method be used for optimize the unreacting acetal from butynediols reactor product recycling in energy use.More specifically Ground, methods described includes:The stream comprising unreacting acetal is fed in butynediols synthesis reactor downstream and is maintained at special Tower under fixed condition;Removed from tower and include the top stream of formaldehyde, water and methanol, for recycling and handling to remove Methanol;And removing includes the bottom steam of butynediols, water, methanol and the formaldehyde less than 1wt% (by weight) from tower, For further handling with the butanediol of quality needed for producing.It is accomplished by the following way energy-optimised:In overhead product condensation Rise steam (has been produced) in tower reboiler by steam condensate in device/steam lift unit, and has passed through tower reboiler The middle compressor transmission used carrys out the steam of condenser/steam lift unit;Or carried in overhead condenser/steam The steam condensate rise steam simply produced in device unit in tower reboiler is risen, and transmits condenser/steam lifting The steam produced in device unit is with as needed for other techniques.
Background technology
In the current method of manufacture butanediol, acetylene and formaldehyde are converted to butynediols, and butynediols is hydrogenated again And form butanediol.By acetylene and formaldehyde synthesizing butynediol for example in K.Weissermel, H.-J.Arpe,《Industry is organic Chemical (Industrielle Organische Chemie) [Industrial Organic Chemistry]》, the 5th edition, It is described in page 1998, Wiley-VCH, 110 and 111.In addition to copper, in appropriate circumstances, in this synthesis In usually used catalyst can include bismuth and silica (SiO2) or aluminum oxide (Al2O3).Butynediols is hydrogenated to Butanediol has been described many times.For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,068,468 is disclosed and urged by the nickel-copper of solid supported Hydrogenation of the agent to butynediols, and U.S. Patent No. 4,153, No. 578 thunder Buddhist nuns for describing at a particular pressure by suspension Nickel-molybdenum (Raney nickel-molybdenum) catalyst hydrogenates the two-phase method of butynediols.Patent publication DD-A 272 644 disclose by nickel-SiO2Catalyst is to the hydride suspension of aqueous butynediols, EP-B 0 319 208, DE-A 19 41 633 and DE-A 20 40 501 discloses the general method for hydrogenation for being applicable to butynediols.
Butynediols can be by preparing comprising following reactant mixture in reaction vessel:The aqueous solution containing formaldehyde, Acetylene and suspended catalyst.For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,584, No. 418A describes a kind of prepared in single container for closing Into the method for the cupfic acetylide catalyst of butynediols, wherein making acetylene bubbling by reactor under 90 DEG C and atmospheric pressure. In another example, U.S. Patent No. 5,444, No. 169A disclose it is a kind of in the presence of suspended catalyst by containing formaldehyde The aqueous solution by the method with acetylene reaction and synthesizing butynediol, wherein the solution by several reactors in cascaded fashion Conveying, the solution discharged from first reactor of cascade to penultimate reactor is supplied to next reaction in cascade Device, acetylene is introduced in each reactor, and is only rich in butynediols from last reactor discharge in cascade Solution.Catalyst is separated with solution in each independent reactor of cascade above last reactor, to prevent from urging Agent escapes reactor.
In each example of the butynediols manufacturing step of butanediol manufacture method, unreacting acetal is useful group Point, it should be recovered and recycle, so that whole process is commercially more favourable.This is generally by finally by butine Glycol synthesis reactor effluent is fed in destilling tower to complete, wherein remove methanol, formaldehyde and water from tower top, and from bottom of towe Remove butynediols, water and methanol and a small amount of formaldehyde.This can be the operation of energy-intensive;If butynediols reacts Device is operated under relatively low formaldehyde conversion, then especially so.In order to obtain the formaldehyde of low concentration, it is necessary to longer stop Time, and large-scale butynediols reactor is needed to use, or even with a series of this kind of reactors, this causes very High capital cost.In order that with the formaldehyde of higher concentration, it is necessary to which the reactor residence time of much shorter, this causes to reclaim formaldehyde High-energy cost.Therefore need a kind of for this recovery and the method for the simple economy of recycling.
