Description

Method and device for producing isopropanol and co-producing methyl acetate by two-tower reaction-variable pressure mixed rectification and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of separation and rectification, relates to a multi-component azeotrope separation technology and a reaction rectification and pressure swing rectification technology, and particularly relates to a method, a device and an application for producing isopropanol and co-producing methyl acetate by two-tower reaction-pressure swing mixed rectification.
Background
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), which is called IPA for short, is a very important chemical product and raw material, and is commonly used as a disinfectant and preservative because of its excellent disinfecting and sterilizing effects. In recent years, the demand of disinfectants is increased in a global normalized situation of new crown blight, so that the demand of isopropanol is increased day by day. The traditional method for producing isopropanol comprises direct hydration and indirect hydration of propylene, namely propylene directly or indirectly reacts with water under the action of a catalyst to generate the isopropanol as the name suggests. The indirect hydration method is also called propene sulfuric acid hydration method, but the method has serious equipment corrosion caused by large consumption of catalyst sulfuric acid, low product selectivity and high energy consumption, and the method is gradually eliminated in China. The current commercial production of isopropanol is a direct hydration method, but the method adopts a gas or liquid phase direct hydration method or a gas-liquid mixed phase hydration method, so that the single-pass conversion rate of propylene is low, or the reaction condition is harsh, the requirement on the purity of raw materials is high, and the catalyst is expensive. In fact, one method for producing isopropanol is the acetone hydrogenation method, but the raw material acetone used in the method is high in cost, and the yield of the process is generally lower than that of the direct hydration method. Therefore, it is very important to find a more efficient, green and compact method for producing isopropanol.
Methyl acetate (Methyl acetate), also known as Methyl acetate, is an important basic organic chemical raw material, is used as an organic pollutant which is not limited to be used for emission, can reach the environmental protection standard, gradually replaces solvents such as acetone, butanone, ethyl acetate, cyclopentane and the like, is a green environment-friendly fast-drying solvent and an important chemical raw material, and is widely applied to the fields of coatings, printing ink, automobile industry, spices, foaming agents, polymer solvents, adhesives, medicinal chemicals and the like.
Chinese patent publication CN201210261305.9 provides a continuous reaction rectification process for synthesizing isopropanol and rectification equipment thereof, the method adopts homogeneous basic catalyst sodium methoxide, and although the product isopropanol with the mass fraction of more than 99% is obtained, the participation of the homogeneous catalyst makes the preparation process complicated due to the need of separating the homogeneous catalyst, thereby greatly increasing the process cost and energy consumption.
Chinese patent publication CN201210349759.1 provides a catalytic rectification process for synthesizing isopropanol by ester exchange method and a production apparatus thereof, the method uses heterogeneous cation exchange resin as a catalyst, which avoids the recovery of alkali salt catalyst, but in order to obtain isopropanol product with mass fraction greater than 99%, the method still needs four rectification towers to complete the production of isopropanol, and the process is still complicated.
Chinese patent publication CN107501042B provides a method for preparing isopropanol by hydrolyzing isopropyl acetate, which, despite the simple process, involves water to make the system heterogeneous, and presents a ternary azeotrope of isopropanol-water-isopropyl acetate. As is well known, the azeotrope-containing system has great separation difficulty, so that the separation difficulty and the separation cost are greatly increased, the purity of the isopropanol is greatly reduced, and only the isopropanol with the purity of 99 percent can be obtained.
By contrast, the present patent application is intrinsically different from the above patent publications.
