Description

Partition wall tower type isopropanol solution molecular sieve membrane distillation separation and purification method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of preparation of high-purity isopropanol by dehydration separation and purification of isopropanol solution, and particularly relates to a partition tower type isopropanol solution molecular sieve membrane rectification separation and purification method.
Background
The concentration of a crude isopropanol aqueous solution (hereinafter referred to as an "isopropanol solution") obtained by a hydration method is about 20-60% (w/w), the water concentration is 40-80%, and other small amount of impurities include organic matters such as fatty alcohols and the like and trace amount of water-soluble heavy metal impurities, and the isopropanol aqueous solution needs to be further dehydrated and purified to obtain an isopropanol product with higher purity, for example, the purity is greater than or equal to 99.9% (w/w). However, since isopropanol and water form an azeotrope, for example, the azeotropic composition at atmospheric pressure consists of 87.4% isopropanol concentration, 12.6% water, 80.31 ℃ azeotropic temperature, 82.45 ℃ boiling point of isopropanol at atmospheric pressure, 100 ℃ water, and the azeotrope formed by the isopropanol-water solution is a binary azeotropic system with the lowest boiling point. Therefore, general rectification cannot be achieved to obtain isopropanol with higher purity, and special separation methods such as azeotropic (co) rectification with an azeotropic agent (benzene, etc.), energy-saving azeotropic rectification with a dividing wall column, extractive rectification with an extractant (ethylene glycol, etc.), salt-added extractive rectification, gap extractive rectification, pressure swing rectification, membrane distillation, etc. must be used. The method comprises a special rectification method, a pervaporation membrane, a membrane contactor, a Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA), adsorption rectification combined with adsorption and rectification and the like, and is used for separating and purifying the isopropanol solution, wherein the adsorption rectification is a brand new isopropanol dehydration process.
The existing Dividing Wall Column azeotropic Distillation (DWC) method is to arrange a vertical partition in a common rectifying Column, which is equivalent to a Petlyuk Column (thermocouple distillation or side line stripping) in thermodynamics, the addition of the partition realizes the functions of two columns, namely 3 pure component products (isopropanol, water and cyclohexane entrainer) can be obtained by only one rectifying Column, compared with the conventional two-Column azeotropic distillation process, one rectifying Column and auxiliary equipment thereof can be saved, the energy consumption is saved by 15%, and the investment and the cost are correspondingly reduced. The specific operation process comprises the steps of enabling an isopropanol solution to enter a common rectification section from a position located at the top of a partition plate, adding cyclohexane or other entrainer and the isopropanol solution to perform azeotropic rectification at a position close to the top of an upper section of a rectification tower, changing the azeotropic composition of an original isopropanol-water binary system, finally forming a system consisting of two different phase areas of isopropanol-water, enabling the isopropanol solution (the isopropanol content is greater than that of an azeotropic component) in a second phase area to enter a dehydration side (one side of the partition plate) section for rectification, obtaining an isopropanol product from the bottom of the dehydration side tower, enabling the isopropanol solution (the water content is greater than that of the azeotropic component) in a first phase area to enter the other side of the partition plate, namely a side line rectification section, obtaining water from the bottom of the tower, distilling the top of a bulkhead rectification tower to obtain a cyclohexane-isopropanol-water ternary azeotropic system, heating and supplementing cyclohexane, and forming cyclohexane in a phase splitter as the entrainer to return to the bulkhead rectification tower for recycling, and the water with the heaviest component obtained from the phase separator is returned to the side rectifying section as reflux, thereby realizing the dividing wall column rectifying process. Compared with the conventional two-tower azeotropic distillation, the method only saves energy consumption, investment and cost, but has quite large use and circulating consumption as a cyclohexane entrainer, and the purity of an isopropanol product is influenced and cannot reach more than 99.9 percent because an isopropanol-water binary system is added into a third component.
The existing separation technology such as molecular sieve membrane or pervaporation membrane utilizes the characteristic that the separation technology has selective separation due to the difference of osmotic pressure in an isopropanol-water binary azeotropic system, can effectively overcome the obstacle of azeotropic point, and is widely applied to various azeotropic systems such as ethanol, isopropanol, glycol and the like. However, the existing techniques such as molecular sieve membrane separation are often combined with conventional rectification in the process of separating or purifying isopropanol solution, for example, an independent molecular sieve membrane separation system is arranged in the middle of two-tower conventional rectification, and is not integrated in the process flow, so that the equipment has poor multi-stability and high investment and production cost. In addition, the molecular sieve membrane is also often used directly in the process of isopropanol solution skipping azeotropic point and isopropanol refining, thus a rectifying tower for conventional rectification in the phase II region of an isopropanol-water binary system can be saved. However, due to the limited amount of molecular sieve membrane permeation, when the product isopropanol with purity of 99.9% is obtained by entering the membrane separation system from the stream with high water content and approximate azeotropic composition, the circulation amount and separation number of the membrane separation system are greatly increased, which leads to the greatly increased investment and cost of the whole system. Therefore, the production of a high-purity isopropyl alcohol product from an aqueous isopropyl alcohol solution is rarely carried out in the actual industry by a combined process of one conventional rectification column and a multistage membrane separator.
Disclosure of Invention
