With reference to fig. 1, the separation method in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
and a, enabling a material flow extracted from an ethylene oligomerization reaction termination kettle to enter an octene removal tower system, extracting an octene-rich material flow from the top of the octene removal tower system, enabling the material flow to enter a hexene removal tower system, and then extracting a material flow containing octene and toluene from the tower kettle of the hexene removal tower system.
Feeding the stream extracted from the tower bottom of the hexene removal tower system into an octene rectifying tower system, and extracting a toluene-rich stream containing 1-octene and 1-octene isomer from the tower top of the octene rectifying tower system through excessive evaporation, wherein the toluene-rich stream contains 90-99% wt of toluene, 1-octene is 1-10% wt and 1-octene isomer is 0.5-5% wt; a crude 1-octene stream is extracted from a tower kettle of an octene rectifying tower system, and the crude 1-octene stream is refined to be sequentially subjected to a desulfurization unit, a dechlorination unit, a deoxidization unit and a dehydration unit to obtain a refined 1-octene stream, wherein the refined 1-octene stream contains more than 99.5% wt of 1-octene, less than 1ppm (wt) of toluene, less than 1ppm (wt) of sulfur, less than 1ppm (wt) of chlorine, less than 1ppm (wt) of oxygen and less than 1ppm (wt) of water.

Wherein in step a, a octene removal column system (5) and a hexene removal column system (12) are involved.
Specifically, ethylene oligomerization reaction adopts ethylene and hydrogen as reaction raw materials, toluene is used as a reaction solvent, reactants rich in 1-octene are generated under the action of a catalyst, the ethylene oligomerization reactants (1) generated by ethylene oligomerization and isooctanol (2) enter a termination kettle (3) together to terminate the reaction, and a material flow (4) extracted from the bottom of the termination kettle is a heterogeneous mixture of hydrogen, ethylene, butene, hexene, methylcyclopentane, methylene cyclopentane, toluene, octene, n-octane, isooctanol, decene, dodecene, ethylene oligomers and deactivated catalyst. This stream (4) enters a octene removal column reboiler (9) of a octene removal column system (5). Because the material flow (4) contains ethylene oligomer, deactivated catalyst and other solid matters, a tray or a filler of the octene removal tower can be blocked, a stripping section of the octene removal tower is eliminated, and the material flow (4) enters the octene removal tower (5) from an inlet of a reboiler (9), so that the separation effect of a rectifying section of the octene removal tower can be improved, components with boiling points close to that of 1-octene such as n-octane and the like are removed from the material flow (10), and the purity of the 1-octene in a product can be effectively improved. And after the tower kettle extract stream of the octene removal tower is pressurized by a tower kettle pump (6), part of the octene removal tower kettle stream I (7) is extracted from the system, and part of the octene removal tower kettle stream II (8) and the stream (4) are converged and returned to the octene removal tower system again.
Wherein, the tower bottom material flow I (7) and the tower bottom material flow II (8) of the octene removing tower are a mixture of n-octane, isooctanol, decene, dodecene, ethylene oligomer and deactivated catalyst. Since the ethylene oligomer is present in the stream either as a solid or as a melt, the deactivated catalyst is present as a solid, the deoctena column bottoms stream I (7) and the column bottoms stream II (8) are heterogeneous solid-liquid mixtures. In order to prevent the pump and the heat exchanger from being blocked, in the invention, a tower bottom pump (6) of the octene removal tower adopts a slurry pump type, and meanwhile, a reboiler (9) of the octene removal tower cancels a thermosiphon heat exchange mode and adopts a forced heat-taking heat exchange mode so as to strengthen the flow of a material flow in the reboiler (9) and prevent the internal tube bundle from being blocked.
The 1-octene-rich material flow (10) is extracted from the reflux tank bottom of the octene removal tower and enters a hexene removal tower system (12). The 1-octene rich stream (10) is a mixture of butene, hexene, methylcyclopentane, methylenecyclopentane, toluene, octene, wherein the toluene content is 40% wt-50% wt and the octene content is 35% wt-45% wt.
An ethylene-rich stream (11) is produced at the top of a reflux tank of the octene removal tower, the ethylene-rich stream (11) is a mixture of hydrogen and ethylene, wherein the ethylene content is more than 99% wt, and the ethylene is recovered and then is participated in ethylene oligomerization.
The operating pressure of the octene removal column system (5) is-80 kPa (g) to-60 kPa (g), preferably-75 kPa (g) to-65 kPa (g). The operation temperature of the tower top is 75-85 ℃, and the temperature of the tower bottom is 140-160 ℃. The top of the tower adopts circulating water as a condensing medium, and the bottom of the tower adopts superheated steam of 1.2MPa as a heating medium. Under the operating pressure, the temperature of the tower kettle is generally kept at 140-160 ℃, at this time, the ethylene oligomer in the material flow (4) entering the octene removal tower system can be kept in a molten state, a large number of side reactions can not be generated due to high temperature, and the blockage of the tower kettle pump (6) can be effectively prevented.
A hexene removal column system (12) is used to remove hexene from the stream. After the tower top material flow (10) of the octene removal tower system enters the hexene removal tower system (12), a material flow (13) is extracted from the tower bottom of the hexene removal tower system. The stream (13) is a mixture of octenes and toluene, wherein the toluene content is 50% wt to 60% wt and the 1-octene content is 40% wt to 50% wt. Stream (13) then enters octene rectifying column system (15). The top stream (14) of the hexene removal column system is taken, the stream (14) is a mixture of butene, hexene, methylcyclopentane and methylenecyclopentane, wherein the content of 1-hexene is more than 85% wt, and the refined 1-hexene can be obtained by continuing the multistage rectification of the stream (14).
The operating pressure of the hexene removal column system (12) is from 0kPa (g) to 50kPa (g), preferably from 10kPa (g) to 20kPa (g). The operation temperature of the tower top is 63-73 ℃, and the temperature of the tower bottom is 115-125 ℃. The top of the tower adopts circulating water as a condensing medium, and the bottom of the tower adopts 0.4MPa superheated steam as a heating medium.
In step b, an octene rectifying column system (15) is involved.
Specifically, after the bottoms take-off stream (13) of the hexene removal column system (12) enters the octene rectifying column system, a toluene-rich stream (18) is taken from the top of the octene rectifying column system by excessive evaporation, the stream (18) contains octene and toluene, wherein the toluene content is 90-99% wt, the 1-octene content is 1-10% wt, and the 1-octene isomer content is 0.5-5% wt. The overhead stream (18) of the octene rectifying column system contains 1-10% wt 1-octene (e.g., 5-10% wt) to effectively remove 1-octene isomers present in octene, allowing a substantial portion of the isomers to be withdrawn overhead, thereby increasing the purity of 1-octene in the bottoms stream (16). And, when the 1-octene content in the toluene-rich stream (18) is higher than 10% by weight, the improvement in the separation effect of the 1-octene isomers is not significant, the improvement in the purity of the 1-octene product is not significant, but more 1-octene is lost in the process. Therefore, the control stream (18) contains 1-10wt% of 1-octene, so that not only can most of isomers be ensured to be extracted from the top of the tower, but also excessive loss of 1-octene can be avoided, the separation requirement of an octene rectifying tower system (15) is reduced, and the purity of 1-octene in the crude 1-octene stream (16) extracted from the tower kettle is ensured.
A crude 1-octene stream (16) is withdrawn from the bottoms of an octene rectifying column system, the stream (16) comprising 1-octene and minor amounts of isomers thereof (e.g., cis-2-octene, trans-2-octene, cis-4-octene, trans-4-octene, etc.), the stream (16) having a toluene content of <1ppm (wt), an octene content of >99.9 wt, a 1-octene content of >99.5 wt, and a 1-octene isomer content of <0.5 wt.
And refining the crude 1-octene stream (16) to obtain a refined 1-octene stream (17) after the crude 1-octene stream (16) sequentially passes through a desulfurization unit, a dechlorination unit, a deoxidization unit and a dehydration unit, wherein in the stream (17), the 1-octene content is more than 99.5% wt, the 1-octene isomer content is less than 0.5% wt, the toluene content is less than 1ppm (wt), the sulfur content is less than 1ppm (wt), the chlorine content is less than 1ppm (wt), the oxygen content is less than 1ppm (wt) and the water content is less than 1ppm (wt).
The operating pressure of the octene rectifying column system (15) is-90 kPa (g) to-60 kPa (g), preferably-80 kPa (g) to-70 kPa (g). The operation temperature of the tower top is 70-80 ℃, and the temperature of the tower bottom is 80-90 ℃. The top of the tower adopts circulating water as a condensing medium, and the bottom of the tower adopts 0.4MPa superheated steam as a heating medium. The octene rectifying tower system (15) can select the operation pressure of-80 kPa (g) to-70 kPa (g), under the pressure, the relative volatility of 1-octene and toluene is larger, and the separation capacity of the octene rectifying tower system (15) can be increased.
In step c, a toluene rectifying column system (19) is involved.
Specifically, a toluene-rich stream (18) extracted from the top of the octene rectifying tower system enters the toluene rectifying tower system (19), and then a stream I (20) and a stream II (21) are extracted from the bottom of the toluene rectifying tower. Stream I (20) and stream II (21) are both streams comprising 1-octene and 1-octene isomers, wherein the content of 1-octene isomers is 5% wt to 20% wt, the 1-octene content is 80% wt to 95% wt, and the toluene content is <1% wt.
Therefore, a large amount of 1-octene isomers in the 1-octene can be extracted from the system through the tower kettle of the toluene rectifying tower, so that the 1-octene in the tower kettle extracted material flow of the octene removing rectifying tower system is ensured to have higher purity.
A crude toluene stream (22) was taken from the top of the toluene rectifying column, the toluene content in stream (22) being >99.9% wt. The crude toluene stream (22) is then further refined and passed sequentially through a deoxygenation unit and a dehydration unit to produce a refined toluene stream (23). In stream (23) the toluene content is >99.9% wt, the oxygen content is less than 1ppm (wt) and the water content is less than 1ppm (wt).
The toluene rectifying column system (19) is operated at a pressure of 0kPa (g) to 50kPa (g), preferably at a pressure of 10kPa (g) to 20kPa (g). The operation temperature of the tower top is 110-120 ℃, and the temperature of the tower bottom is 120-130 ℃. Air is used as a condensing medium at the top of the tower, and 0.4MPa superheated steam is used as a heating medium at the bottom of the tower. The toluene rectifying tower system (19) adopts air as a condensing medium due to overhigh temperature at the top of the tower, so that the corrosion phenomenon caused by overhigh heat exchange temperature difference due to the use of a circulating water heat exchanger is prevented.
Thus, the tower top extract stream (18) of the octene rectifying tower system can be separated to obtain toluene after passing through the toluene rectifying tower system (19), so that the side reaction of the upstream ethylene oligomerization reaction is ensured to be as few as possible; and the 1-octene isomer can be separated as much as possible, thereby ensuring that the high-quality 1-octene can be produced from the tower bottom of the octene rectifying tower.
In step d, the extracted material flow I (20) of the tower kettle of the toluene rectifying tower is converged with the tower kettle extracted material flow (13) of the hexene removing tower system, and enters the octene rectifying tower system (15) for further rectification, so that part of 1-octene is recovered.

Wherein the toluene-rich stream (18) withdrawn from the top of the column has a toluene content of 95% by weight, a 1-octene content of 4.68% by weight, a 1-octene isomer content of 0.32% by weight and a ratio of 1-octene to 1-octene isomer of 14.625. In the crude 1-octene stream withdrawn from the bottom of the column, the octene content is >99.9% wt, the 1-octene content is >99.5% wt, and the 1-octene isomer content is <0.5% wt. The operating pressure of the octene rectifying tower is-70 kPa (g), the temperature of the tower top is 75 ℃, and the temperature of the tower bottom is 87 ℃.
Step c: the top product stream of the octene rectifying tower system is fed into the toluene rectifying tower system, and a stream I (20) and a stream II (21) containing 1-octene and 1-octene isomers are extracted from the tower bottom of the toluene rectifying tower system.

In step c, a crude toluene stream (22) is taken out from the top of the toluene rectifying tower system, the crude toluene stream (22) is refined, and is sequentially subjected to a deoxidizing unit and a dehydrating unit to obtain a refined toluene stream (23), wherein the oxygen content in the refined toluene stream (23) is less than 1ppm (wt), the water content is less than 1ppm (wt), and the mass fraction is 99.95%.
In the step b, the crude 1-octene material flow (16) extracted from the tower kettle of the octene rectifying tower system is refined, so that the crude 1-octene material flow is sequentially subjected to a desulfurization unit, a dechlorination unit, a deoxidization unit and a dehydration unit to obtain a refined 1-octene material flow (17), wherein in the refined 1-octene material flow (17), the toluene content is 0.3ppm (wt), the sulfur content is less than 1ppm (wt), the chlorine content is less than 1ppm (wt), the oxygen content is less than 1ppm (wt), the water content is less than 1ppm (wt), the 1-octene isomer content is 0.3% wt, and the 1-octene purity reaches 99.70%.
Example 2
This example differs from example 1 in that the 1-octene content of the toluene-rich stream withdrawn from the top of the octene rectifying column system is different.
Specifically, in this example, the operating pressure of the octene rectifying column system was-70 kPa (g), the overhead temperature 76 ℃, and the bottoms temperature 87 ℃ so that the 1-octene content in the toluene-rich stream withdrawn overhead of the octene rectifying column system was 9.2% wt. At this time, in the toluene-rich stream (18), the toluene content was 90.25% by weight, the 1-octene content was 9.2% by weight, the 1-octene isomer content was 0.55% w, and the ratio of 1-octene to 1-octene isomer was 16.7.
Thus, in the refined 1-octene stream (17) obtained after the same refining step as in example 1, toluene content was 0.25ppm (wt), sulfur content was less than 1ppm (wt), chlorine content was less than 1ppm (wt), oxygen content was less than 1ppm (wt), water content was less than 1ppm (wt), 1-octene isomer content was 0.28% wt, and 1-octene purity was 99.72%.
Comparative example
This comparative example differs from example 1 in that the 1-octene content of the overhead product stream of the octene rectifying column system is more than 10% wt.
Specifically, in this comparative example, the operating pressure of the octene rectifying column system was-70 kPa (g), the overhead temperature was 76.4 ℃, the bottoms temperature was 87 ℃, and the toluene-rich stream withdrawn from the top of the octene rectifying column system contained more than 10% by weight of 1-octene. At this time, in the toluene-rich stream (18), the toluene content was 79.2% by weight, the 1-octene content was 20% by weight, the 1-octene isomer content was 0.8% by weight, and the ratio of 1-octene to 1-octene isomer was 25.
Thus, in the refined 1-octene stream (17) obtained after the same refining step as in example 1, toluene content was 0.2ppm (wt), sulfur content was less than 1ppm (wt), chlorine content was less than 1ppm (wt), oxygen content was less than 1ppm (wt), water content was less than 1ppm (wt), 1-octene isomer content was 0.26% wt, and 1-octene purity was 99.74%.
As can be seen from this, the purity of 1-octene in this comparative example was improved to a limited extent as compared with example 1, but the ratio of 1-octene to 1-octene isomers in the toluene-rich stream taken from the top of the octene rectifying column system was large and the loss of 1-octene was relatively large.
