Description

Purification method of coal-to-ethylene glycol byproduct ethanol based on membrane separation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hollow fiber membrane separation application, in particular to a purification method of ethanol as a byproduct in the preparation of ethylene glycol from coal based on a membrane separation method.
Background
At present, the ethanol production method mainly comprises a biological fermentation method and a chemical synthesis method. The production technology for preparing ethanol from the synthesis gas in the chemical synthesis method is mature, the production cost is obviously lower than that of a grain route, and the method has stronger competitiveness and wide development prospect. Three types of ethanol are produced by the synthesis gas, namely, the ethanol is directly produced by the synthesis gas; secondly, preparing ethanol by a synthesis gas biological method; thirdly, the synthesis gas is hydrogenated by acetic acid to prepare ethanol. In addition, there is another ethanol production technology, which is the purification and utilization of ethanol which is a byproduct of chemical industry, and the ethanol has the remarkable advantage of low cost as a byproduct of chemical products, but because of the characteristics of the byproduct, the ethanol contains more kinds of organic impurities and water, and if the ethanol is required to obtain a qualified ethanol finished product, the ethanol is required to be separated and purified.
Because of the azeotropic point of ethanol and water, the traditional method cannot directly obtain absolute ethanol, and the existence of water can also influence the separation of ethanol from other organic impurities in byproduct ethanol, such as methanol, dimethyl carbonate and the like. The industrial absolute ethanol is mainly produced by adopting methods such as extractive distillation, adsorption separation and the like, and the traditional ethanol dehydration modes have the problems of complex process, high energy consumption, serious pollution and the like. The membrane dehydration technology is a novel separation technology, and has the outstanding advantages that the separation process is not limited by the gas-liquid balance of components, and the separation of the azeotropic mixture of ethanol and water is realized with low energy consumption. At present, a technology for separating and purifying ethanol by adopting a rectification and separation membrane technology is adopted, such as an environment-friendly and energy-saving production process method of ultra-dry absolute ethyl alcohol disclosed in China patent CN115340442A, which describes that the technology adopts the separation membrane technology and a molecular sieve adsorption device as core technologies, and a rectification device is matched for recycling process wastewater; chinese patent CN108083979A discloses a method and a device for producing ethanol, which describe a dehydration process for preparing ethanol by adopting synthesis gas by adopting a rectification and separation membrane technology as a process.
However, the process route of the scheme is mainly focused on solving the problem of separation of ethanol and water, and separation and purification of ethanol cannot be realized under the working condition that the byproduct ethanol material contains light and heavy organic components, water and other impurities; in addition, the rectifying tower is arranged in front of the separation membrane device, and positive pressure operation is needed by the rectifying tower so as to provide positive driving force for the separation membrane, but positive pressure can influence the rectifying separation efficiency, and meanwhile, the steam grade requirement is improved.
Disclosure of Invention

(3) And (3) sending the ethanol film finished product obtained in the step (2) into a refining tower for refining, and finally obtaining the finished product ethanol.
Further, in the step (2), the operation pressure of the feed liquid side of the hollow fiber separation membrane is 100-400 kpa, and the operation temperature is a temperature corresponding to the saturation vapor pressure of the feed material, and is overheated by 10-30 ℃.
Further, in the step (2), the water content of the ethanol film finished product is controlled to be 0.05-0.5 wt%.
Further, in the step (2), the obtained ethanol film finished product vapor is not condensed, and is sent into the refining tower in the step (3) in a saturated gas phase form, and the temperature of the ethanol film finished product is 90-120 ℃.
Further, in the step (3), the reflux ratio of the refining tower is controlled to be 0.1-10, the volume ratio of the flow extracted from the side line to the reflux amount of the tower top is controlled to be 1:2-1:5, and the operating pressure of the refining tower is controlled to be-0.05-0.1 MPa (G).
Further, in the step (3), heat exchange is performed between the ethanol finished product steam extracted from the side line of the refining tower and the byproduct ethanol material fed by the hollow fiber membrane separation device, so as to further reduce the operation energy consumption.
Further, in the step (2), the membrane adopted by the hollow fiber membrane separation unit is a preferential water permeable membrane, which may be an organic membrane, an inorganic membrane or an inorganic-organic composite membrane.
In the step (2), the hollow fiber membrane separation units are connected in series, parallel or series-parallel by 1-100 hollow fiber membrane separators so as to achieve different treatment requirements and production capacities.

(3) According to the invention, the membrane separation product is not condensed and enters the refining tower in a vapor form, so that the energy utilization rate in the system is improved, and the heating load of the refining tower is further reduced;
(4) The method adopts a mode of extracting the finished product steam from the side line of the refining tower to collect the ethanol finished product, so that light component and heavy component impurities can be removed simultaneously in the one-step rectification process;
(5) According to the invention, the heat exchange is carried out on the finished product steam extracted from the side line of the refining tower and the ethanol feed, so that the energy utilization rate in the system is improved, and the operation energy consumption of the whole system is reduced.
