Background
In recent years, coal-made glycol projects are hot, and more than 40 coal-made glycol projects are produced and constructed at present. Most of the coal-made glycol adopts coal as a raw material, and CO and H2 are respectively obtained through gasification, transformation, purification, separation and purification, wherein the CO is synthesized through catalytic coupling and refined to produce oxalate, and then the oxalate and H2 are subjected to hydrogenation reaction and are refined to obtain the glycol. The process flow is short, the cost is low, and the technology is the technology for preparing the ethylene glycol by the coal, which is the highest in concern at home at present. However, in the practical process of the technology for preparing ethylene glycol from coal, the CO generates dimethyl carbonate as a byproduct when a carbonylation reaction occurs. The byproduct dimethyl carbonate accounts for about 5-10% of the ethylene glycol production capacity, and the yield of a common coal-to-ethylene glycol project is dozens of thousands of tons or even millions of tons, so that the yield of the byproduct dimethyl carbonate is considerable. However, the by-produced dimethyl carbonate has a low purity and can be sold as a waste.
While high purity dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an excellent solvent. Is an environment-friendly green chemical product which is widely concerned in recent years. Dimethyl carbonate is very active in chemical property, can easily react with various hydroxyl compounds, can replace virulent phosgene, dimethyl sulfate, methyl chloride and the like as a carbonylation agent and a methylation agent, and is an important organic synthesis intermediate. Dimethyl carbonate has the characteristics of low toxicity and high evaporation speed, and has good compatibility with other solvents. It has been classified as a non-toxic chemical in western europe, and its application as a solvent, such as a solvent for special paints, a solvent for high-energy batteries, a solvent for medical production, etc., has been vigorously developed, and it can also be used as a spray. The dimethyl carbonate with higher purity can be used as a production raw material of the lithium battery electrolytic solution. However, the byproduct dimethyl carbonate produced in the process of preparing ethylene glycol from coal has more impurities, and the purification method is a problem which needs to be solved urgently.
