Description

Separation method for preparing isopropylbenzene by hydrogenolysis of alpha, alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol
Technical Field
The invention relates to a raw material treatment method for producing CHP by peroxidation of isopropylbenzene, belonging to the technical field of petrochemical industry.
Background
PO (propylene oxide, CAS number 75-56-9, molecular formula C) 3 H 6 O) is an important organic chemical product of propylene derivative, and is an important raw material for producing polyurethane, polyether and surfactant.
Industrial propylene oxide production methods include chlorohydrin method, co-oxidation method (Halcon method) and hydrogen peroxide direct oxidation method (HPPO method). Among them, the chlorohydrin method is one of the main methods for producing Propylene Oxide (PO) in China, and the domestic proportion is about 48%. The chlorohydrin method has the advantages of serious equipment corrosion, large amount of waste water and solid waste, serious environmental pollution and the like, and the method can realize phase-out in China. The direct oxidation method of hydrogen peroxide (HPPO method) has high cost of hydrogen peroxide, the economy is affected, and the running of the HPPO method in China has certain defects.
The co-oxidation method is also called co-production method or indirect oxidation method, and is characterized by that the reaction of organic peroxide and propylene is used to produce epoxypropane, at the same time the organic alcohol is by-produced, and mainly includes three processes of PO/TBA (MTBE), PO/SM and POCHP. The PO/MTBE method has the defects of longer flow and large equipment investment, and meanwhile, the MTBE market is gradually atrophic because the MTBE is forbidden to enter the oil blending market, so that the PO/MTBE process gradually loses the market in China. The PO/SM method has long process flow, large equipment investment, large waste water and waste gas amount, and along with the domestic large-scale smelting integration project, a plurality of PO/SM processes are intensively invested in domestic time, and the domestic SM market is seriously excessive, so that the release of PO productivity can be influenced in time.
Compared with other co-oxidation processes, the cumene co-oxidation process (POCHP) has obvious characteristics: short process route, less equipment investment, no product linkage, etc. The cumene co-oxidation method for generating propylene oxide is industrially utilized by Japanese Sumitomo, and comprises the following steps: the cumene is oxidized into Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) by air at a certain temperature and pressure, then the Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) is epoxidized with propylene to generate propylene oxide, and alpha, alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol generated by the epoxidation reaction is subjected to hydrogenolysis reaction to generate cumene, and the cumene is recycled to the peroxidation reaction, so that the recycling of the cumene is realized.
The difficulty in the cumene co-oxidation method is the hydrogenolysis reaction of α, α -dimethylbenzyl alcohol, and the separation of the hydrogenolysis reaction solution is very important. The hydrogenolysis reaction liquid comprises cumene and water generated by the reaction, unreacted hydrogen, alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone and other substances, alpha, substances such as alpha-dimethylbenzyl alcohol, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol and the like are easy to emulsify with water, so that the reaction liquid has poor phase separation effect, water phase entrainment in oil phase cumene affects the refining of the cumene, and oil phase entrainment in the water phase affects the wastewater treatment.
Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned industry problem, a high-efficiency and running stable α, α -dimethylbenzyl alcohol hydrogenolysis reaction liquid separation system is needed, which not only can reduce the amount of free water entrained in the separated oil phase cumene, but also can avoid affecting the stability of the cumene refining system, and simultaneously can reduce the oil phase entrained in the water phase, and avoid affecting the downstream environmental protection treatment.
