Description

Process system and process method for producing paraxylene in high yield
Technical Field
The invention relates to a production method of paraxylene, in particular to a process system and a process method for producing paraxylene in a more yield mode.
Background
Para-xylene is one of the important basic organic raw materials in the petrochemical industry, is mainly used for Preparing Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), and is widely applied to the production fields of chemical fibers, synthetic resins, pesticides, medicines, plastics and the like. According to statistics, in 2019, the capacity of PX in China is greatly increased by 1190 ten thousand tons, the total capacity reaches 2503 ten thousand tons, and the capacity is increased by 70.4%, so that the PX capacity is the highest increased in recent years.
The C 8 aromatics include ortho-xylene, para-xylene, meta-xylene, and ethylbenzene four isomers, with the para-xylene market being greatest, so it is generally more desirable in industry to enhance or even maximize the production of para-xylene from a particular C 8 aromatic feedstock. Because of their similar chemical structures and physical properties and identical molecular weights, para-xylene-poor C 8 aromatics are generally converted into a mixture of C 8 aromatics with equilibrium concentration through isomerization reaction, and meanwhile, the para-xylene products with high purity are obtained through disproportionation and transalkylation reactions of toluene and C 9 aromatics, and then through technical means such as rectification, adsorption separation and the like, the para-xylene-poor C 8 aromatics are subjected to isomerization reaction again in a system cycle, and the toluene and the C 9 aromatics are subjected to disproportionation and transalkylation reactions.
The separation of paraxylene is generally carried out industrially by crystallization and adsorption separation, and the adsorption separation is used more. The raw materials for adsorption separation are mixed C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons, the para-xylene is preferentially adsorbed by utilizing the different selectivities of four isomers of the C 8 aromatic hydrocarbons, and then the para-xylene on the adsorbent is desorbed by using a desorber. The extracted liquid is a paraxylene-rich material, and a high-purity paraxylene product is obtained through rectification; the raffinate is a paraxylene-lean material, the resolving agent is separated from the raffinate tower, and the equilibrium concentration C8 aromatic hydrocarbon mixture is obtained through isomerization reaction, and then the paraxylene is recycled for fractionation.
In the process, the selectivity of para-xylene in the disproportionation and transalkylation reaction of toluene and C 9 aromatic hydrocarbon is less than 30%, so that the circulation amount of a disproportionation and transalkylation unit is large, and the energy consumption of the device is increased; meanwhile, the product benzene is taken as a product outlet device and is not fully utilized, so that the total yield of the paraxylene is further reduced.
