Description

System and method for preparing propylene from isopropanol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of propylene, and further relates to a system and a method for preparing propylene from isopropanol.
Background
In recent years, China has a strong demand for propylene, and propylene recovery in ethylene plants and refineries is a main source of propylene.
Acetone is produced as a byproduct in the process of preparing phenol by an isopropyl benzene method, and with the rapid development of the domestic phenol market and the wide use of the technology for preparing phenol by the isopropyl benzene method, the demand is basically balanced, so that a large amount of acetone growing faces to the continuous market and is low. In addition, acetone may also be produced or by-produced by a number of chemical processes. In order to use acetone efficiently, it is desirable to develop a route for converting acetone into isopropanol and dehydrating the isopropanol to propylene.
The domestic production scale of phenol prepared by the cumene method is large, the propylene can be recycled by using the isopropanol dehydration and separation as a matching technology of the phenol preparation process by the cumene method, so that the propylene does not need to be supplemented or is supplemented less in the cumene method process, the operation cost is reduced, and the benefit is remarkable.
At present, the research and development of catalysts aiming at preparing propylene by dehydrating isopropanol and the research on the process are few at home and abroad. Only the Mitsui company of Japan develops a process for directly preparing propylene by dehydrating isopropanol, and the process is also a matched technology for the propylene recycling application of the process for preparing phenol by an isopropyl benzene method. The materials after the isopropanol dehydration reaction are recycled, the processes of dehydration, alkali washing, light and heavy removal and a propylene rectifying tower are omitted, the propylene is not purified, and the aim is not to obtain the high-purity propylene.
Chinese patent CN108530257A relates to a method for co-producing cumene and propylene by benzene and isopropanol, which comprises the steps of contacting benzene and isopropanol with a molecular sieve catalyst to synthesize cumene and propylene under effective reaction conditions; the effective reaction conditions include at least: the molar ratio of benzene to isopropanol is in the range of greater than 0 to less than 2. The method can be used for the industrial production of coproducing cumene and propylene.
Chinese patent CN103508833A provides a method for preparing propylene by dehydration of isopropanol, which comprises: contacting isopropanol with a catalyst under isopropanol dehydration reaction conditions to dehydrate the isopropanol to produce propylene, wherein the catalyst is produced by a process comprising the steps of: preparing a gel system containing a template agent and an aluminum source; then removing the solvent in the gel system and roasting to obtain mesoporous nano alumina; wherein the template agent is block copolyether shown as a formula (1); wherein R1 is an amino-substituted hydrocarbyl group, and x, y and z are each independently 1 to 100; the aluminum source is organic aluminum salt.
CN1025182C relates to the production of propylene in high yield and selectivity by dehydration of isopropanol in the presence of a gamma-alumina catalyst with an average pore diameter of 30 to 150 and a standard deviation (σ n) of 10 to 40, based on statistical calculations of pore diameter and micropore volume.
The above patents do not relate to systems and processes. Related process research and patents are not reported in China.
Some similar processes are known for the production of olefins. For example, ethylene from ethanol and isobutylene from tert-butanol. However, these methods cannot be used for producing propylene from isopropanol.
Therefore, the development of a system for preparing propylene from isopropanol is a technical problem to be solved urgently at present.
