Method and device for purifying polymerization liquid in EVOH production process
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method and a device for purifying polymerization liquid in an EVOH production process.
Technical Field
Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) and Polyamide (PA) are called world three-high barrier resin, the barrier property of the resin is about ten thousand times of that of common polyethylene, and the resin is widely applied to the fields of packaging materials, automobile oil tanks, oxygen-resistant floor heating pipes, textile and medical materials and the like. In 2011, the worldwide annual capacity of the EVOH is about 12.6 ten thousand tons, the annual consumption total is about 11 ten thousand tons, the domestic annual consumption total is about 7300 tons, and the selling price is about 6 ten thousand yuan/ton. It is expected that by 2015 and 2020, world EVOH demand will reach 13 and 18 million tons, respectively, and asian regions will be the regions where EVOH is the fastest growing. The current EVOH production technology is mainly monopolized by Nippon Coli, synthetic chemistry and Taiwan Changchun.
EVOH is generally prepared by polymerizing ethylene and vinyl acetate by a conventional method such as emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization or suspension polymerization, and then saponifying the resulting product. In the copolymerization process of ethylene and vinyl acetate, the reaction efficiency is low, so that besides ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a large amount of methanol as a solution, a large amount of unreacted ethylene and vinyl acetate exist in the outlet of the reactor, wherein a large amount of unreacted ethylene can be recovered after decompression flash evaporation, and the unreacted vinyl acetate needs to be recovered through a recovery process.
CN102942649A discloses a preparation method of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, which comprises the following steps: dissolving vinyl acetate and an oil-soluble initiator into monohydric alcohol with 1-5 carbon atoms, introducing ethylene gas to keep the reaction pressure at 5-50 atmospheric pressure, stirring and heating to 45-75 ℃, stirring at the speed of 25-500 rpm, and keeping the temperature to react for 0.5-10 hours to obtain an EVA solution; and adding 1-40% of alkali liquor into the EVA solution, stirring and heating to 50-85 ℃, keeping the temperature for reaction for 0.5-12 hours, cooling to room temperature, adding water for cleaning, and drying at 30-200 ℃ to obtain the EVOH.
CN 204607899A has disclosed ethylene recovery system in EVOH production process, including the flash tank that is connected with feed line and ejection of compact pipeline simultaneously, the compressor, the condenser, vapour and liquid separator, the EVOH solution from polymerization system will be from the feed line lets in to the flash tank and carries out the flash distillation, liquid component flows into downstream device through ejection of compact pipeline after the flash distillation, ethylene gas gets into tubular condenser condensation to 10 ℃, the gas-liquid mixture after the condensation gets into vapour and liquid separator, mix in vapour and liquid separator and the fresh raw materials ethylene that lets in through the ethylene inlet line, the liquid that the separation produced gets back to the flash tank, ethylene gas is then directly let in to the compressor, get back to polymerization system cyclic utilization after the compression. The utility model is only a device for recycling unreacted ethylene.
The invention provides a method and a device for purifying polymerization liquid in an EVOH production process, which aim to solve the problem in the prior published patents, wherein most of the prior published patents focus on the EVOH production preparation process, and the prior published patents focus on less problems of purification of the polymerization liquid in the EVOH production process.

In the technical scheme of the invention, the flash tank is provided with stirring mainly for fully volatilizing the ethylene component wrapped in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, so that the removal efficiency of the ethylene component can be increased on one hand, and the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be uniformly mixed on the other hand, thereby preventing the product chromaticity from being influenced by local overheating.
According to the technical scheme, the crude ethylene material flow is cooled by a vertical cooler and then sent to a downstream separation device, other components are carried when ethylene components volatilize, if ethylene needs to be recycled, a device for purifying ethylene needs to be added, when the ethylene components at the top of a flash tank are discharged from the flash tank, a vertical heat exchanger is adopted for condensation, the condensation is carried out to 12-40 ℃, the other components carried by the ethylene can directly return to the flash tank again, a gas-liquid separation tank does not need to be arranged at the outlet of a condenser, the purity of recycled ethylene is greatly improved, and the recycled ethylene can be directly recycled after pressurization.
