Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a chemical industry raw materials cyclic utilization technical field, concretely relates to ethylene recycling system.
Background
In the chemical synthesis process of ethylene as a raw material, such as the synthesis of vinyl acetate, the synthesis of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer, the synthesis of polyvinyl acetate, and the like, ethylene is generally in an excess state, and the single-pass utilization rate thereof is low. Ethylene is an expensive chemical raw material and needs to be recovered and recycled.
Chinese patent CN102516006B (ethylene recovery method and apparatus in vinyl acetate production process) discloses an apparatus for ethylene recovery: the upper section of a feeding plate of an acetic acid tower in a vinyl acetate production and rectification section is connected with an inlet of an absorption liquid buffer tank, an outlet of the absorption liquid buffer tank is connected with an inlet of an absorption liquid conveying pump, and an outlet of the absorption liquid conveying pump is connected with the lower section of an ethylene recovery tower; the ethylene recovery tower is a composite tower and is divided into an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is a washing section, and the lower section is an absorption liquid washing section. However, the purity of the ethylene finally obtained by this process is not good, and the impurities are not sufficiently removed, and still cannot meet the requirements of the downstream process. Therefore, there is a need to develop a device for recovering and purifying ethylene from industrial tail gas to recover and obtain ethylene raw material with high purity and low impurity content.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The utility model discloses it is anticipated that ethylene circulation recovery system is provided to the ethylene purity that the solution was retrieved from industrial tail gas is low with the high technical problem of impurity content.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
the ethylene recycling system comprises a heat exchange unit and a gas-liquid separation unit; the heat exchange unit comprises a first heat exchanger, the gas-liquid separation unit comprises a first gas-liquid separation tank, and the discharge end of a heat medium channel of the first heat exchanger is communicated with the first gas-liquid separation tank; the first gas-liquid separation tank is provided with a liquid ethylene outlet, the feed end of a refrigerant channel of the first heat exchanger is communicated with the liquid ethylene outlet, and a throttling expansion device is arranged between the refrigerant channel of the first heat exchanger and the liquid ethylene outlet.
The principle and the advantages of the scheme are as follows: the gas to be purified containing the ethylene enters a first heat exchanger to be cooled to be lower than the liquefaction critical temperature of the ethylene, and the liquefied ethylene is separated from substances (in a gaseous state) with lower liquefaction critical temperature in a first gas-liquid separation tank. The liquid ethylene obtained through the gas-liquid separation process obtains lower temperature through throttling expansion, and can be used as a cold source (also called as cooling medium, refrigerant and the like) of the first heat exchanger to enter a refrigerant channel of the first heat exchanger. The liquid ethylene used as a cold source is gasified by heat exchange and can be directly applied to the downstream process steps. The scheme has a good separation effect on the mixed gas containing ethylene and low critical temperature impurities. By low critical temperature impurity is meant that the highest temperature (boiling point) at which the material liquefies under pressure is less than the highest temperature at which ethylene liquefies. The critical temperature is the highest temperature at which liquefaction of a substance occurs under a certain pressure.
The scheme has the advantages that through ingenious design, the recycled object (ethylene) is not only an object cooled by condensation, but also a substance used as a cold source. The purification of the target substance ethylene is realized through the condensation and temperature reduction process, and the purified substance is used as a cold source (liquid ethylene can be used as the cold source only through further temperature reduction treatment), so that the recovered object ethylene is cooled and liquefied and is separated from non-condensable gas and the like (the liquefied critical temperature is lower than that of ethylene). And the cold source is heated and gasified by heat exchange at the same time, and can directly enter the next process. Since ethylene is charged in gaseous form to the reaction equipment in industrial synthesis processes, the condensed liquid ethylene cannot be directly fed to the next process due to temperature and conditions. In the scheme, the ethylene can be condensed, separated and purified, and the condensed ethylene can be processed into a state usable by a downstream process, thereby achieving two purposes.
The circulation operation of the scheme saves the cost of purchasing a cold source (for example, additionally purchasing nitrogen as the cold source) and the cost of additionally arranging a heating device to gasify the ethylene. Most importantly, the scheme can fully recycle the ethylene in the industrial tail gas, realizes energy conservation and emission reduction, and reasonably utilizes the effect of resources.
Further, the heat exchange unit further comprises a second heat exchanger, and the gas-liquid separation unit further comprises a second gas-liquid separation tank; the second gas-liquid separation tank is respectively communicated with the discharge end of a heating medium channel of the second heat exchanger and the feed end of a heating medium channel communicated with the first heat exchanger; the discharge end of the refrigerant channel of the first heat exchanger is communicated with the feed end of the refrigerant channel of the second heat exchanger.
By adopting the technical scheme, the second heat exchanger and the second gas-liquid separation tank are designed, so that high critical temperature impurities can be removed from the gas to be purified. High critical temperature impurity in this context means that the highest temperature at which the material liquefies under a certain pressure is greater than the highest temperature at which ethylene liquefies. In the second heat exchanger, the high critical temperature impurities in the gas to be purified are liquefied and subjected to gas-liquid separation with ethylene gaseous substances in a second gas-liquid separation tank. The cold source used by the second heat exchanger is the cold source (ethylene) flowing out of the first heat exchanger, and the gradual temperature rise of the cold source is realized while the temperature of the gas to be purified is gradually reduced, so that the ethylene is gradually gasified, and the gasified ethylene can be used in the next process flow (such as the synthesis of vinyl acetate and the synthesis of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer). The device can be suitable for the working condition of separating and purifying the ethylene from the gas to be purified containing more impurities with low critical temperature and impurities with high critical temperature.
Further, the discharge end of the refrigerant channel of the second heat exchanger is communicated with a first gaseous ethylene storage tank.
By adopting the technical scheme, the first gaseous ethylene storage tank is used for temporarily storing the gaseous ethylene.
Further, the first gas-liquid separation tank is communicated with a liquid ethylene storage tank.
By adopting the technical scheme, the liquid ethylene storage tank is used for storing the liquid ethylene used for starting the whole recycling process. When the equipment is just started, no cold source is arranged in the refrigerant channel, and the whole circulation recovery process can be started only by additionally adding the cold source in the initial state.
Further, a gas outlet is formed in the first gas-liquid separation tank and communicated with a torch system.
By adopting the technical scheme, in the first gas-liquid separation tank, the impurities with low critical temperature are separated and are in a gas state (namely non-condensable gas), and the impurities are discharged into the torch system through the gas outlet, so that the environment pollution caused by harmful gas is avoided.
Further, the heat exchange unit further comprises a third heat exchanger; and a gas outlet is formed in the first gas-liquid separation tank and communicated with the feed end of the refrigerant channel of the third heat exchanger.
By adopting the technical scheme, the temperature of the non-condensable gas discharged from the gas outlet of the first gas-liquid separation tank is very low (for example, the temperature is-90 to-85 ℃), and if the non-condensable gas is directly combusted, the ignition point of the non-condensable gas is difficult to reach. It is common in the art to provide a heating device for the gas. In the scheme, however, the non-condensable gas is used as a cold source, so that the temperature of the gas to be purified can be reduced, and the non-condensable gas can be heated for subsequent combustion treatment. Therefore, the use of non-condensable gases as a heat sink for the preliminary heat exchange achieves two objectives: primarily cooling the gas material to be purified (especially for the gas with higher initial temperature which can not directly enter the second heat exchanger); avoid additionally setting up other noncondensable gas heating device, practiced thrift the cost.
Further, the discharge end of the refrigerant channel of the third heat exchanger is communicated with a flare system.
By adopting the technical scheme, the torch system is conventional equipment for burning and treating waste gas materials and is easy to obtain.
Further, the gas-liquid separation unit further comprises a third gas-liquid separation tank, and the third gas-liquid separation tank is respectively communicated with the discharge end of the heat medium channel of the third heat exchanger and the feed end of the heat medium channel of the second heat exchanger.

Water can solidify and block up the pipeline under the condition of cryrogenic, and this scheme has set up third gas-liquid separation jar, separates earlier with materials such as water and detach, has just avoided during water gets into first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger, has avoided the jam of pipeline, has guaranteed technology smoothness nature and security. This arrangement is applicable to the case of separating and purifying ethylene from a gas to be purified containing a large amount of water.
Further, the first gaseous ethylene storage tank is also communicated with a second gaseous ethylene storage tank, and a diaphragm compressor is arranged between the first gaseous ethylene storage tank and the second gaseous ethylene storage tank.
By adopting the technical scheme, the obtained gaseous ethylene can be pressurized and compressed, and is convenient to store and transport.

The process comprises the following steps: the mixed gas A0 comes from tail gas discharged in the vinyl acetate synthesis process. The ethylene gas phase method synthesis process for producing vinyl acetate is that the vinyl acetate device adopts ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen as raw materials, passes through a fixed bed reactor loaded with palladium, a gold catalyst and potassium acetate as a cocatalyst, and synthesizes Vinyl Acetate (VAC) through gas phase oxidation at the temperature of 185 ℃ under 0.78MPa, and because the single-pass conversion rate of the synthesis reaction is low, the process adopts the method that the ethylene is required to be recovered and purified for reuse. The composition of the initial tail gas generated in the above process is (mole percent): 90.15% of ethylene, 1.11% of vinyl acetate, 1.14% of acetic acid, 1.87% of water, 2.15% of carbon dioxide, 1.03% of carbon monoxide, 0.31% of oxygen, 1.8% of nitrogen and other trace impurities. In the prior art, the ethylene gas is recovered after absorbing and purifying impurity gases such as carbon dioxide by hot carbonate, but the purity of the recovered ethylene gas is not high and is only below 95%.
In the process, a large amount of water (for example, through a molecular sieve drying tower) and all carbon dioxide (for example, a caustic washing tower) components are removed through pretreatment, and mixed tail gas A0 which can enter the circulating system is obtained. The main components of the mixed gas A0 are: ethylene, vinyl acetate, acetic acid (trace), water (trace), carbon monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen.
The material (mixed gas A0) enters the ethylene recycling system from a material inlet IV of the third heat exchanger 3. The process is basically the same as that of example 3, except that the gas mixture is subjected to gas-liquid separation in the third gas-liquid separation tank 12, and a trace amount of water, a trace amount of acetic acid and a part of vinyl acetate are liquefied and separated in the third gas-liquid separation tank 12, thereby further preventing water from entering the second heat exchanger 2, and further preventing pipeline blockage caused by solidification of water due to too low temperature. The process parameter settings of this example are detailed in table 3, and ethylene products with a purity of more than 99.5% can be obtained by this scheme.
