Description

Method for efficiently separating cyclohexanone and removing impurities in cyclohexanol
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cyclohexanone preparation, and in particular relates to a method for efficiently separating cyclohexanone and removing impurities in cyclohexanol.
Background
Cyclohexanone is a major intermediate for the production of caprolactam and adipic acid and is also an important industrial solvent. At present, the production methods of cyclohexanone mainly comprise a cyclohexane oxidation method, a cyclohexene hydration method and a phenol hydrogenation method, and in the process of catalyzing and dehydrogenating cyclohexanol generated by the production methods at a certain temperature to generate cyclohexanone, light component and heavy component impurities which are inevitably generated are more generated in the cyclohexane oxidation process.
The separating and refining flow of the cyclohexanone product and cyclohexanol as a dehydrogenation reaction raw material is generally as follows: and (3) sequentially dehydrating crude alcohol ketone (the crude alcohol ketone generated by oxidation, cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide decomposition and other reactions in the cyclohexane oxidation process) after the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation by a drying tower, removing light components by a light component removal tower, refining a cyclohexanone product by a cyclohexanone tower, separating heavy component impurities such as cyclohexanol and X oil by the cyclohexanol tower, and finally obtaining the cyclohexanol raw material of the cyclohexanone product and a dehydrogenation reactor. In the cyclohexanol separating tower, there is one small tower with 8 small tower plates and with reduced diameter, and the material in the bottom of the main tower overflows into the small tower to heat and distill, and the temperature of the small tower is controlled to control the outward throwing amount of heavy component and the purity of cyclohexanol in the tower top. In the flow, the operating pressure of the light component removal tower top is 20 KPaA-57 KPaA, the operating temperature of the corresponding tower top is 110 ℃ to 130 ℃, the operating pressure of the cyclohexanone refining tower top is about 5KPaA, the operating temperature of the tower bottom is about 100 ℃, the operating pressure of the cyclohexanol separation tower top is 5 KPaA-8 KPaA, the operating temperature of the corresponding main tower bottom is 116 ℃ to 130 ℃, and the operating temperature of the small tower bottom is 150 ℃ to 165 ℃.
The boiling points of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol are 155 ℃ and 161 ℃ respectively, and the boiling points of the cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol are close to each other; the boiling point (140-150 ℃) of light impurities such as methyl cyclopentanone, methyl cyclopentanol and the like is very similar to that of cyclohexanone; while the boiling point of heavy impurities such as amyl cyclohexane and butyl cyclohexyl ether is higher than that of cyclohexanol, the heavy impurities are azeotroped with cyclohexanol under the condition of reduced pressure rectification of an alcohol tower, the heavy impurities are distilled off from the top of the tower along with the cyclohexanol, and the heavy impurities accumulate in a rectification system along with long-time operation of the device, so that the content of intermediate components between the cyclohexanol and heavy components in raw alcohol ketone is always 10%. The boiling points of the separated substances are similar, and a larger reflux ratio is needed during separation, so that the separation energy consumption of the device is very large, the separation capacity of equipment is occupied, and a small amount of impurities enter cyclohexanone products at the top of the ketone tower, so that the quality of the cyclohexanone is reduced; in order to ensure the quality of cyclohexanone, the content of cyclohexanone in the ketone tower kettle has to be improved, so that the content of cyclohexanone in cyclohexanol of a dehydrogenation raw material is high, the conversion rate of cyclohexanol is reduced, the condensation side reaction of cyclohexanone is increased, and the selectivity of cyclohexanol dehydrogenation is reduced.
In the existing cyclohexanone dehydrogenation process:
patent 201610919752.7 discloses a method for efficiently separating and refining cyclohexanone products, which utilizes a single cyclohexanone tower to remove light components and simultaneously refine cyclohexanone, namely crude alcohol ketone generated by cyclohexanol dehydrogenation is dehydrated and then sent to the cyclohexanone tower, the light components are extracted from the top of the cyclohexanone tower, the cyclohexanone is extracted from the side line, and the heavy components of cyclohexanol and X oil are extracted from the bottom of the cyclohexanone tower. Patent 201610389965.3 discloses a method and a system for refining cyclohexanone and recycling cyclohexanol, wherein after alcohol-ketone mixture is sent to a light component removal tower to remove light components, a tower bottom material is sent to a cyclohexanone product tower, cyclohexanone is produced at the tower top of the ketone, a tower bottom produced material is sent to an alcohol refining tower, cyclohexanol is produced at the tower top of the alcohol, the alcohol is mixed with a proper amount of water and sent to a dehydrogenation reactor, after the dehydrogenation product is cooled and separated in gas-liquid mode, a gas phase and a liquid phase are sent to a dehydration tower, waste water containing trace oil at the tower top is sent to a cyclohexane extraction tower, and an extract is sent to an alcohol-ketone recovery tower to recover alcohol ketone. Patent 201510660301.1 discloses a process for producing cyclohexanone by dehydrogenation of cyclohexanol, wherein vaporized cyclic alcohol is fed into a dehydrogenation reactor, heavy substances in the product are separated out from the dehydrogenation product before hydrogen is separated out, heat contained in the reaction product is fully utilized, the production energy consumption of cyclohexanone is reduced, and side reactions caused by repeated distillation of cyclohexanol are reduced.
Wu Shouhui in petrochemical 1983,12 (10): 642-649 it is pointed out that impurities contained in cyclohexanol can increase the thermal instability of cyclohexanol itself, with an increase of 3-4% in high boiling substances when 90-91% of cyclohexanol by industrial rectification is passed through a superheater, and with 98-98.8% of cyclohexanol, almost unchanged. The dehydrogenation selectivity is reduced by about 4% when using industrially distilled cyclohexanol compared to pure cyclohexanol, so that the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation feed should be refined to reduce the impurity content in cyclohexanol as much as possible, for example by adding a cutting tower in the alcohol ketone rectification system. However, no specific method is given. Patent 200410097596.8 proposes a method for obtaining high-purity cyclohexanol from cyclohexane oxidation products, wherein a raw material is an alcohol tower distillate containing 80% -95% of cyclohexanol, residual low-boiling components and cyclohexanone are removed by vacuum distillation, and then the residue is subjected to normal pressure or pressure distillation to remove substances such as amyl cyclohexane and butyl cyclohexyl ether which are difficult to separate from cyclohexanol in vacuum distillation, thereby obtaining cyclohexanol with purity of more than 99%. However, the "residual low boiling point component and cyclohexanone removed by vacuum distillation" of the method contains not only about 43% of cyclohexanone but also about 45% of cyclohexanol, and more than 10% of intermediate components such as butylcyclohexyl ether and pentylcyclohexane which are azeotroped together with cyclohexanol, and if this material is returned to the system, the intermediate components are still accumulated in the system, and if this material is discharged from the system, the material consumption is increased. The patent 201620707871.1 discloses a device for removing impurities of butyl cyclohexyl ether in the production process of cyclohexanone, which is characterized in that a rectifying tower is added behind a cyclohexanol evaporator to carry out normal pressure or pressurized rectification on crude cyclohexanol, and part of butyl cyclohexyl ether is discharged from a tower kettle to a heavy component tank, so that the aim of reducing the content of intermediate components in the crude cyclohexanol is fulfilled. But the content of butyl cyclohexyl ether in the discharged tower kettle liquid is only 25-35%, and the rest components are cyclohexanol, which means that 2-3 times of cyclohexanol with butyl cyclohexyl ether is treated as a byproduct, thereby increasing material consumption. Patent 201610837394.5 discloses a process for preparing cyclohexanone by dehydrogenating cyclohexanol, wherein the equipment of the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation procedure consists of a cyclohexanol evaporator, a vapor-liquid separator, a normal pressure or pressurized rectifying tower and a cyclohexanol dehydrogenation reactor; the rectifying tower is only provided with a stripping section, and the tower kettle is provided with a reboiler. The technology can greatly reduce the concentration of the methylcyclohexanone, the heptanone and the analogues thereof contained in the materials of the cyclohexanone rectification process and the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation process, and reduce the circulation and accumulation of the methylcyclohexanone, the heptanone and the analogues thereof in the cyclohexanone rectification process and the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation process. However, the materials discharged from the tower kettle of the process still contain about 30 percent of cyclohexanol, thereby increasing material consumption. In addition, these impurities, which are very low in content, are removed from the column bottom under normal pressure or pressurized conditions, requiring high energy consumption.
One common point of these patent technologies is that no new energy saving technology is introduced, but some combinations and improvements are made on the separation flow, and the energy consumption of the device is still large. When refining the intermediate components in the cyclohexanol fed to the dehydrogenation reactor, the engineering design and operating conditions of the cyclohexanol tower are not optimized to remove impurities in the cyclohexanol, but only after the dehydrogenation reactor is fed to the dehydrogenation reactor and heated by cooling, the impurities are separated and partially removed by means of tank flash evaporation or tower rectification, which requires additional energy consumption, and the amount of treated material cannot be too large, otherwise the energy consumption will be higher.
