Detailed Description
Aiming at the defect that high added value components in the carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon cannot be effectively separated and purified in the prior art, the invention provides a method and a device for separating a carbon nine-aromatic hydrocarbon mixture, which realize the separation and purification and comprehensive utilization of the components of the meta-trimethyl benzene, the mesitylene, the hemimellitene and the o-methyl ethylbenzene in the byproduct carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon in a large refinery aromatic hydrocarbon combined device, and are energy-saving, emission-reducing and environment-friendly.
According to the method, a refinery reformed carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon raw material is firstly added into a rectifying tower provided with internal components at a certain speed, and light components with lower boiling points than mesitylene are removed under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions.
The carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon with light components removed is fed into a rectifying tower with internal components at a certain speed, and under the specific conditions of temperature, pressure and reflux, mesitylene and o-methyl ethylbenzene with the boiling point very close to that of mesitylene are distilled out from the top of the tower and fed into an extraction rectifying tower. In the extractive distillation column, the binary extractant system absorbs mesitylene but not o-methyl ethylbenzene. O-methyl-ethylbenzene-rich vapor is distilled off from the top of the column as a byproduct. The rich liquid of the extractant absorbing the mesitylene is sent into an analysis tower according to a certain speed, and under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions, the high-purity mesitylene is analyzed as a product and escapes from the tower top. The lean extract liquid in the tower bottom returns to the extraction rectifying tower again for recycling.
The carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon from which the mesitylene and the o-methyl ethylbenzene which is very close to the boiling point thereof are removed enters a rectifying tower with internal components at a certain speed, and under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions, high-purity meta-trimethylbenzene products are extracted from a side line near the top of the tower, and the gas phase at the top of the tower is a component with the boiling point between that of the meta-trimethylbenzene and the mesitylene (containing o-toluene). The tower bottom is a component with boiling point higher than that of the pseudocumene.
The residual carbon nine-heavy aromatic hydrocarbon after removing the components of the pseudocumene enters a rectifying tower with internal components at a certain speed, and the components with boiling points between the pseudocumene and the hemimellitene are removed at the top of the tower under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions. The column bottoms are components containing mesitylene and having a boiling point higher than that of mesitylene. Feeding into a rectifying tower with internal components at a certain speed, and under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions, the components distilled from the tower top are mesitylene, indane and p-methyl isopropylbenzene with the boiling point close to that of mesitylene. Feeding the mixture into an extraction rectifying tower with internal components at a certain speed. The column bottoms yield other components boiling more than mesitylene (containing indane and p-methyl cumene).
In the extractive distillation column, the binary extractant system absorbs hemimellitene but not indane and p-methyl cumene at specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions. The indane-rich and p-methyl cumene vapors are distilled off from the top of the column as by-products. The rich liquid of the extractant absorbing the hemimellitene is sent into a resolving tower at a certain speed, and the high-purity hemimellitene is resolved out under specific temperature, pressure and reflux conditions and escapes from the tower top. The lean liquid in the tower bottom returns to the extraction rectifying tower again for recycling.
Through the steps, the complete separation of three trimethylbenzenes in the reformed carbon nine raw materials is completed, and the maximum effective utilization of resources is realized. The key is that the invention uses the property of very close boiling point and different molecular structures of components difficult to separate by superfractionation to select proper binary system polar solvent as extractant, and skillfully separates mesitylene from o-methyl ethylbenzene; and (3) separating the hemimellitene from the indane and the p-methyl isopropylbenzene.
Meanwhile, the technical scheme provided by the invention is more suitable for industrial production, and a super rectification technology, an extraction rectification technology, a thermal coupling technology and a thermal integration technology are used. Specifically, the trimellitic column is designed to be positive pressure, and the trimellitic steam at the side line of the column can be led back to a reboiler of the light component removal column to be used as a heat source to form thermal coupling; introducing o-methyl ethylbenzene steam at the top of the mesitylene extraction rectifying tower back to a heat source of a three-tower reboiler for removing the mesitylene to form thermal coupling; the indane and the p-methyl isopropylbenzene steam at the top of the hemimellitene extraction rectifying tower are led back to a heat source of a three-tower reboiler for removing the coupling to form thermal coupling; the steam condensate is collected according to the temperature steps and then used as a multi-section raw material, a semi-finished product feeding preheating heat source and a heat tracing heat source, so that the energy steps are utilized effectively. The energy consumption is saved, so that the production cost is effectively reduced, the whole production process is easy to control, the continuous operation is stable, the separation precision is high, the product purity is high, the product quality is reliable, the target product yield is high, and the method can be widely applied to the full separation of high-added-value pseudocumene, mesitylene and hemimellitene from the byproduct reformed carbon nine-heavy aromatics of a large-scale oil refinery so as to realize the efficient comprehensive utilization of precious resources.
