Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of separation of multicomponent azeotrope, in particular to a method for separating a tertiary butanol-ethanol-water ternary azeotropic system by a double-tower reactive extraction side-stream rectification process.
Background
Tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol are important chemical raw materials. Tert-butanol is a colorless crystal with a camphor odor and is liquid in the presence of a small amount of water. It is used as solvent for paint and medicine, and as fuel additive for internal combustion engine to prevent carburetor from icing and antiknock agent. As an intermediate for organic synthesis and an alkylation raw material for producing a tert-butyl compound, methyl methacrylate, tert-butyl phenol, tert-butylamine and the like can be produced and used for synthesizing medicaments and spices. The isobutene with the purity of 99.0 to 99.9 percent can be prepared by dehydrating the tertiary butanol. The ethanol is flammable and volatile colorless transparent liquid at normal temperature and normal pressure, has low toxicity, and can not be directly drunk as pure liquid; has special fragrance and slight irritation; slightly sweet and accompanied by pungent and spicy taste. Inflammable, its steam can form explosive mixture with air, and it can be dissolved in water in any ratio. Can be mixed with chloroform, diethyl ether, methanol, acetone and other organic solvents, and has a relative density of 0.816. The ethanol has wide application range, and can be used for preparing acetic acid, beverages, essence, dye, fuel and the like. In medical treatment, ethanol with the volume fraction of 70-75% is also commonly used as a disinfectant and the like, and has wide application in national defense chemical industry, medical treatment and health, food industry, industrial and agricultural production.
Aqueous solution of tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol is often formed in the production process of the actual chemical industry and the pharmaceutical industry. If the waste water is directly discharged, environmental pollution and resource waste are caused, so that the waste water has a great prospect of recycling the waste water. Under normal pressure, the tert-butyl alcohol and the ethanol form azeotropy with water, and the tert-butyl alcohol and the ethanol cannot be separated by adopting common rectification and are difficult to separate. And the traditional rectification has high energy consumption, low energy utilization rate and large carbon dioxide emission, so special rectification is required. How to separate the mixed solution of tertiary butanol, ethanol and water with energy conservation and high efficiency becomes a problem which needs to be solved urgently.
CN109678668 discloses a method for separating ethanol-tert-butanol-water by rectification, which comprises the steps of carrying out pre-dehydration treatment, azeotropic treatment, steam stripping treatment and rectification treatment on raw materials containing ethanol, tert-butanol and water, and then separating the ethanol and the tert-butanol to obtain products of ethanol and tert-butanol; and an entrainer is added in the azeotropic treatment stage and is used for removing water in the residual materials. The method has complex treatment process and high cost.
