Description

Energy-saving process method and device for purifying dimethyl carbonate by adopting four-tower heat integration
Technical Field
The invention relates to an energy-saving process method and an energy-saving device for purifying dimethyl carbonate by adopting four-tower heat integration, in particular to an energy-saving process method and an energy-saving device for producing a high-purity dimethyl carbonate product and a byproduct methanol product from a crude dimethyl carbonate raw material by adopting a four-tower heat integration device through a rectification process.
Background
Dimethyl carbonate is DMC, a colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor at normal temperature, is combustible, nontoxic and biodegradable. Dimethyl carbonate is an important organic chemical intermediate, and can be used for organic synthesis reactions such as carbonylation, methylation, methoxylation, carbonylation and the like due to the molecular structure of the dimethyl carbonate containing carbonyl, methyl, methoxyl and carbonylmethoxyl; because DMC is non-toxic, can replace virulent phosgene, methyl chloroformate, dimethyl sulfate and the like to be used as methylating agents or carbonylating agents, the safety of production operation is improved, and the environmental pollution is reduced; as a solvent, DMC can replace Freon, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, benzene, xylene and the like and is used for paint, cleaning solvent and the like; as a gasoline additive, DMC can improve its octane number and oxygen content, and then improve its antiknock; DMC is also used as an additive for detergents, surfactants and softeners, and in any case DMC has a very wide range of applications.
In the production process of the coal-to-ethylene glycol, substances such as dimethyl carbonate, methyl formate, methylal and the like can be by-produced to influence the stable operation of a system, the mixture which is not separated in the existing coal-to-ethylene glycol device and is rich in the dimethyl carbonate and the like is sold as cheap residual liquid, and along with the improvement of the environmental protection requirement and the further requirement of the comprehensive economy of the device, the developed technology-advanced dimethyl carbonate rectification process method has more and more remarkable economic benefits.
Chinese patent CN107400055A discloses a battery-grade dimethyl carbonate rectification and purification method and equipment, and provides a battery-grade dimethyl carbonate rectification and purification method and equipment, which comprise two rectification towers, namely a normal-pressure bulkhead rectification tower, a low-pressure bulkhead rectification tower and the like. The heat integration operation is carried out between the normal pressure bulkhead rectifying tower and the low pressure bulkhead rectifying tower, and the gas phase at the top of the normal pressure bulkhead rectifying tower provides the energy required by the separation for the low pressure bulkhead rectifying tower. This purification method has two major drawbacks: firstly, as is well known, dimethyl carbonate and methanol can form an azeotrope with a lower boiling point, wherein dimethyl carbonate and methanol are not completely separated, and the azeotrope can only be separated, so that a high-purity dimethyl carbonate product can be obtained, but the yield of dimethyl carbonate is greatly reduced along with the evaporation of methanol and the azeotrope thereof; the second defect is that the low-pressure bulkhead rectifying tower for extracting the dimethyl carbonate product is operated in high vacuum, the temperature of the top of the tower is very low (25-33 ℃), a large amount of low-temperature water is consumed as a condensing medium, and the operation cost is very high.
CN1271721A discloses a method for separating methanol and dimethyl carbonate azeotrope under pressure, which comprises two rectifying towers, namely a pressure rectifying tower and an atmospheric pressure rectifying tower, wherein the pressure rectifying tower and the atmospheric pressure rectifying tower are subjected to heat integration operation, and the gas phase at the top of the pressure rectifying tower provides energy required by separation for the atmospheric pressure rectifying tower. Although the method overcomes the defect that a large amount of low-temperature water is consumed in the CN107400055A, two large defects still exist: firstly, similar to the method provided by CN107400055A, dimethyl carbonate is not completely separated from methanol, only azeotrope can be separated, although higher purity dimethyl carbonate product can be obtained, the yield of dimethyl carbonate is lower along with the evaporation of methanol and azeotrope thereof; secondly, the dimethyl carbonate product is obtained from the tower bottom of the normal pressure refining tower, the product purity is not high, if the dimethyl carbonate product with higher purity (99.9%) is desired to be obtained, the operating pressure of the pressurized rectifying tower reaches 1.8MPa, the operating pressure is too high, the operating temperature is high, the equipment safety level is higher, and the investment is higher.
CN108299204A discloses a method and a device for separating dimethyl carbonate from coal-derived ethylene glycol raffinate, wherein the method comprises three rectifying towers, namely a light component removing tower, a crude DMC rectifying tower, a fine DMC rectifying tower and the like, the three rectifying towers are subjected to heat integration operation, and the crude DMC rectifying tower and the fine DMC rectifying tower provide energy required by separation for a reboiler of the light component removing tower. Although CN108299204A overcomes the defect that CN107400055A needs to consume a large amount of low-temperature water, there are two major defects: the first defect, according to the CN108299204A claim 2, "the operating pressure of the light component removal tower is 6-10Kpa, the temperature of the top of the tower is 42-49 ℃, the temperature of the bottom of the tower is 65-69 ℃", and the light component removal tower described in example 1 "the mixture of about 54% of methanol, about 45% of dimethyl carbonate and about 1% of water at the bottom of the tower is returned to the middle tank zone", and "the mixture enters the crude DMC rectification tower 2, 80% of methanol, 20% of dimethyl carbonate and trace amount of low boiling fraction are discharged from the top of the tower after rectification" described in example 1, all indicate that the separation method provided by CN108299204A does not completely separate dimethyl carbonate from methanol, and the large amount of dimethyl carbonate is lost at the bottom of the light component removal tower and the top of the crude DMC rectification tower, and the yield of dimethyl carbonate is very low; and the defect II is that the rectifying DMC rectifying tower does not adopt a partition plate tower structure, and the dimethyl carbonate product is extracted from the side line of the rectifying DMC rectifying tower, so that the high-purity dimethyl carbonate product cannot be obtained no matter the side line is positioned above the feeding material (inevitably carrying light components) or below the feeding material (inevitably carrying heavy components).
