Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of compound separation, in particular to a separation method of a dimethyl carbonate/methanol mixture.
Background
As an important industrial solvent and an organic synthesis intermediate, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is a green chemical raw material with low toxicity, excellent environmental protection performance, wide application and development prospect.
Methanol is also an important bulk organic chemical raw material and is widely used in various industrial processes.
The problem of separation of the dimethyl carbonate/methanol mixture has long been felt. The dimethyl carbonate/methanol system azeotropes at 63.5 ℃ with an azeotropic composition of approximately 70% methanol and 30% DMC. When dimethyl carbonate starts to rise from the last 80 th century as a novel green chemical raw material, the problem of separation of a coexisting system of dimethyl carbonate/methanol cannot be mostly bypassed regardless of the production or application of dimethyl carbonate.
The separation methods of the dimethyl carbonate/methanol mixture reported in the prior literature mainly comprise a pressure rectification method, an extraction rectification method, an azeotropic rectification method, a low-temperature crystallization method, a membrane separation method and the like. The pressure rectification method and the extraction rectification method are the mainstream separation methods. The steam consumption of the separation by the pressurized rectification method is high, the pressure and temperature requirements of the used equipment are high, the requirements on the equipment are high, and the relative energy consumption is high; the solvent extraction method has lower production cost, but is easier to remain solvent impurities in the product, so that the difficulty of further improving the purity is higher, and the method is difficult to be applied to the field with higher requirements on the purity; the low temperature crystallization process utilizes the characteristic that DMC has freezing point higher than that of methanol (-97.8 deg.c), and has DMC solidification crystallization at proper temperature, separation and distillation to obtain DMC with DMC recovering rate up to 95-96%. However, the azeotrope is crystallized at-35 ℃, then the temperature is increased for secondary distillation, the energy consumption is high, the operation is difficult, and the flow is complex. The membrane separation method requires a separation membrane with high cost, which is disadvantageous in reducing the cost. Based on this, it is necessary to provide a separation method of a dimethyl carbonate/methanol mixture which has a high separation effect, low energy consumption and is economical and practical.
At present, the patent proposes to use inorganic matters and water as a co-extractant to separate dimethyl carbonate from methanol, for example, the patent CN201911363417.3 extracts methanol into water phase through good intersolubility of methanol and water, and the salt only plays a physical role, so as to increase the density of water phase and accelerate the phase separation of oil and water.
Methanol is used as a small molecular polar organic compound, has a plurality of properties similar to water, and is easy to generate association reaction with salts to generate crystallization alcohol similar to crystallization water. Whereas the salt of the association product with the crystalline alcohol may exist stably over a range of temperatures. The continuous and efficient separation of dimethyl carbonate and methanol by utilizing the principle is not reported for obtaining high-purity DMC and methanol. Based on this, the present invention has been made.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described more fully hereinafter in order to facilitate an understanding of the present invention, and preferred embodiments of the invention are set forth, which are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for separating dimethyl carbonate from methanol, which includes steps S1 to S4 and/or S5 to S6 as follows:
and S1, carrying out reactive distillation on a sample to be separated containing dimethyl carbonate and methanol and a separation auxiliary agent through a reactive distillation tower.
And S2, secondarily mixing the overhead gas phase distillate obtained by the reaction rectification with a separation auxiliary agent, and carrying out oil-water phase separation.
And S3, feeding the oil phase separated in the step S2 into a coarse distillation tower to remove the separation auxiliary agent.
And S4, merging the water phase materials separated in the steps S1, S2 and S3 and tower bottom liquid, feeding the mixture into an auxiliary agent recovery tower, separating methanol from a separation auxiliary agent, obtaining a crude methanol product at the tower top, and recovering the separation auxiliary agent at the tower bottom. The recovered separation aid may be re-entered into the separation process.
And step S5, rectifying the tower top distillate of the step S3 further to obtain the high-purity DMC product (> 99.99 wt%).
And S6, rectifying the crude methanol obtained in the step S5 further to obtain a methanol product (> 99.85 wt%).
As described in the background art, the conventional separation method of dimethyl carbonate and methanol generally employs a pressure rectification method, an extractive rectification method, an azeotropic rectification method, a low-temperature crystallization method, a membrane separation method, and the like. The extraction separation method adopts an extracting agent which is generally an organic extracting agent such as glycol, and the organic extracting agent introduced by the method is used as an organic solvent, has an influence on the purity of methanol and has higher cost.
The invention adopts the association reaction of water soluble salt and methanol to generate crystalline alcohol compound, separates dimethyl carbonate from methanol by the relatively stable crystalline alcohol compound, and enables the dimethyl carbonate to be well separated from the methanol by secondary phase separation. Compared with the traditional separation method, the separation method provided by the invention has the advantages that the adopted separation auxiliary agent is simple and easy to obtain, is easy to separate from methanol, can be continuously utilized, and has high separation effect, lower energy consumption, economy and practicability.
In some embodiments, the water-soluble salt is selected from at least one of a sodium salt, a magnesium salt, a calcium salt, a copper salt, a zinc salt, and a barium salt. Further, the water-soluble salt is at least one selected from the group consisting of chlorides and sulfates of the above-mentioned metal cations.
In a specific embodiment, the water-soluble salt is preferably calcium chloride, zinc chloride, barium chloride, sodium sulfate, and copper sulfate, more preferably calcium chloride, zinc chloride, barium chloride. This is because the crystalline alcohol associates of calcium chloride, zinc chloride, barium chloride have a higher methanol association ratio or have better stability of the association, and are less likely to decompose in a relatively low temperature range, facilitating separation.
In one embodiment, different separation aids are adopted in the reaction rectification and oil-water phase separation processes, the operation separation effect is better, but the recovery of the separation aids is relatively complex: separate processing is required.
Further, in the separation auxiliary agent, the mass content of the water-soluble salt is 20-50%. Further, in the separation step, the volume ratio of the separation aid to the sample to be separated is (0.5-5): 1. Wherein the mass content of the dimethyl carbonate in the sample to be separated is 20-80%.
It will be appreciated that in order to continue the separation process, the concentration of the water-soluble salt in the separation aid after recovery of the separation aid needs to be monitored in real time and water replenished in an appropriate amount according to the monitoring result.
The following are specific examples.
Examples 1 to 6
In examples 1 to 6, 20kg of a sample to be separated containing dimethyl carbonate and methanol (dimethyl carbonate content: 30%) was treated by using a process flow chart shown in FIG. 1, and the sample and the separation aid were fed into a reactive rectifying column at normal temperature in a predetermined ratio. The theoretical plates of the reactive rectifying tower are 40, the separation auxiliary agent enters from the upper part of the 15 th plate, and the separation sample enters from the 30 th plate. Obtaining distillate rich in dimethyl carbonate from the top of the tower, wherein the top temperature is 75-85 ℃, and the reflux ratio is 1-4:1; the mixed liquor rich in methanol is obtained from the tower kettle, and the temperature of the tower kettle is 85-95 ℃. Cooling the tower top distillate, mixing with separating assistant in certain proportion, separating oil from water in separating tank, and adding dimethyl carbonate in the upper layer oil phase over 98%. The upper oil phase material enters a crude distillation tower for rectification, the reflux ratio is 0.5-5, the temperature of the top of the tower is 89-91 ℃, and the dimethyl carbonate which does not contain residual impurities and has the content more than 98% compared with the raw materials is obtained. If the raw material comes from byproducts of producing other esters based on transesterification, the product can be reused in the transesterification as a reaction raw material. If the starting material is from a dimethyl carbonate production line, further purification is required to bring the product to the commercial dimethyl carbonate requirements.
The tower bottoms of the reaction rectification tower, the water phase separated from the oil phase and the crude distillation tower are combined together (the embodiment 2 is treated separately, the principle process is the same and is not repeated), and the mixture enters an auxiliary agent recovery tower. The number of the tower plates of the auxiliary agent recovery tower is 40, feeding is carried out from the upper part of the 25 th tower plate, the feeding temperature is 60-65 ℃, and the tower top temperature is 64-65 ℃, so that methanol with the concentration of more than 97% is obtained; the temperature of the tower kettle is 110-130 ℃, and the separation auxiliary agent with the methanol content less than 2% is obtained. After the separation auxiliary agent is properly supplemented with water, the separation auxiliary agent enters into circulation for repeated use. The purity of the methanol obtained from the top of the tower can meet most of market applications with low requirements. If the product is sold as a national standard product, the product needs to be further purified.
The mass content and yield of the separation aids, dimethyl carbonate and methanol products used in the steps of examples 1 to 6 are shown in the following Table 1, and the other conditions are the same. The further purification steps are identical to the purification process flows of the prior art and will not be described further here.
