Definitions

  • the invention relates to the production of methanol from a synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon oxides, wherein passing the synthesis gas through a first, preferably water-cooled reactor in which a portion of the carbon oxides is catalytically converted to methanol, and wherein the obtained synthesis gas and methanol vapor Mixture a second, preferably gas-cooled reactor feeds, in which a further portion of the carbon oxides is converted to methanol.
  • Such a process for the production of methanol is known, for example, from EP 0 790 226 B1.
  • the methanol is produced in a cyclic process in which a mixture of fresh and partially reacted synthesis gas is first fed to a water-cooled reactor and then to a gas-cooled reactor in which the synthesis gas is converted to methanol on a copper-based catalyst.
  • the methanol produced in the process is separated from the synthesis gas to be recycled, which is then passed as a coolant in countercurrent through the gas-cooled reactor and preheated to a temperature of 220 to 280 0 C before it is introduced into the first synthesis reactor.
  • FR 2 533 554 A1 describes a process for preparing alcohols from synthesis gas in two reactor stages, wherein a liquid fraction rich in methanol and higher alcohols is separated from the product of the second reactor stage by condensation from the gas stream.
  • the gas stream is at least partially recycled to the first reactor stage to increase the ratio H 2 / CO to a value> 1.8.
  • Intermediate condensation of methanol between the two reactor stages should be avoided in order to reduce the water content of the resulting mixture and thereby facilitate the subsequent dehydrogenation of the alcohols.
  • U.S. Patent 4,968,722 discloses a process for the production of methanol in which the methanol product is removed by absorption between two reactor stages to thereby increase the product yield of the equilibrium reaction in the second reactor stage.
  • an intermediate condensation is described as disadvantageous since it requires large heat exchange surfaces.
  • EP 0 483 919 A2 describes a process for the production of methanol, in which the reaction of the synthesis gas takes place in a plurality of fluidized bed reactors connected in series, wherein a separation of methanol formed by cooling and condensation takes place between the reactor stages.
  • the object of the invention is to reliably avoid the condensation of methanol on the second reactor, in particular when using highly active catalysts.
  • the dew point of the entering into the second reactor mixture depends essentially on the methanol concentration.
  • the dew point of the mixture is significantly lowered to about 40 ° C. (namely, the temperature in the preceding methanol separator), so that there is no danger of methanol condensation in the second reactor, since the distance the temperature of the reactor components from the dew point is also sufficiently large at the outlet of the second reactor to reliably avoid dew point undershoot.
  • the methanol yield of the second reactor stage can be increased since the reaction equilibrium is shifted to the product side or a higher reaction potential for the conversion of the gas in the second reactor is created.
  • a particularly economical use of the system is achieved if the withdrawn from the methanol separator gas stream is preheated in the gas / gas heat exchanger before it is fed to the second reactor. As a result, the heat is kept in the system and used for necessary heating of the gas stream to the required reaction temperature in the second reactor.
  • the invention also extends to a plant for the production of methanol from a synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon oxides, which is suitable for carrying out the method described above.
  • the plant comprises a first, preferably water-cooled, reactor in which part of the carbon oxides is catalytically converted to methanol, a second, preferably gas-cooled, reactor to which the gas mixture obtained from the first reactor is fed via a line and in which another part of the carbon oxides is reacted to methanol, and a methanol separator for separating the methanol from the synthesis gas.
  • a gas / gas heat exchanger for cooling the gas mixture obtained from the first reactor is provided following the first reactor.
  • At least one additional heat exchanger for further cooling of the gas mixture is provided between the gas / gas heat exchanger and the methanol separator.
  • a line leads from the methanol separator to the inlet of the second reactor, via which the separated synthesis gas is fed to the second reactor for further reaction.
  • the conduit is preferably passed through the gas / gas heat exchanger to preheat the syngas to the required reaction temperature while achieving optimum utilization of the thermal energy.
  • the single figure shows schematically a plant for carrying out the process according to the invention
  • a mixture of fresh and recirculated synthesis gas is passed through a line 1 into a first synthesis reactor 2.
  • This first reactor 2 is preferably a tube reactor known per se, in which, for example, a copper-based catalyst is arranged in tubes 3.
  • a coolant used under elevated pressure boiling water which is introduced in the conduit 4.
  • a mixture of boiling water and steam is withdrawn in line 5 and leads to the energy of a steam drum, not shown, known per se.
  • the synthesis gas entering the first reactor 2 is preheated to a suitable temperature sufficient to respond to the catalyst. It is also possible initially to heat the synthesis gas only to a temperature below the response temperature of the catalyst and to achieve the further preheating over the hot water jacket in the reactor. The water temperature must of course be above the response temperature of the catalyst.
  • the gas temperature at the inlet of the first reactor 2 at 180 to 250 0 C and the pressure in the range of 2 to 12 MPa (20 to 120 bar), preferably in the range of 4 to 10 MPa (40 to 100 bar).
  • the coolant, which is withdrawn via the line 5, usually has a temperature in the range of 220 to 280 0 C.
  • In the first reactor 2 are in an exothermic reaction, depending on the state of the catalyst 40 to 80% of the through the line 1 in the Reactor 2 given carbon oxides implemented.
  • a first mixture essentially consisting of synthesis gas and methanol vapor, is withdrawn via line 6, the methanol content being 4 to 10% by volume, usually 5 to 8% by volume.
  • This mixture is preferably passed completely through a gas / gas heat exchanger 7 to lower the temperature below the dew point of the methanol by heat exchange with synthesis gas recycled via the line 8.
  • the dew point temperature depends essentially on the concentration of the methanol and is at a methanol concentration at the outlet of the first reactor 2 of, for example. 7 mol% at about 125 0 C.
  • the gas / liquid mixture passes through at least one further heat exchanger 9 in order to lower the temperature even further.
  • This second heat exchanger is preferably air or water cooled.
  • the gas / liquid mixture is then fed to a methanol separator 10, in which the liquid methanol phase is separated from the gas phase.
  • the largely methanol-free gas stream is via the line. 8 - 7 - KEIL & SCHAAFHAUSEN
  • the so preheated gas stream reactor via line 8 to a second synthesis 11 supplied, for example, is configured with a copper-based catalyst as provided with cooling tubes 12 fixed bed reactor.
  • the catalyst is preferably provided on the shell side, but may also be arranged in the tubes as in the first reactor 2.
  • synthesis gas which is introduced via the line 13 at a temperature of 40 to 150 0 C and the second reactor 11 in cocurrent with the brought up via the line 8, preheated in the gas / gas heat exchanger 7 gas stream flows through from the first reactor 2.
  • the temperature of the cooling gas at the inlet to the second reactor 11 is determined by the mixing ratio between recirculated and fresh synthesis gas and is chosen the lower the higher the reactivity of the introduced via the line 8 gas flow into the second reactor 11.
  • the synthesis gas serving as a coolant is preheated in the second reactor 11 and then flows through the line 1 to the first reactor 2.
  • the synthesis gas entering the first reactor 2 should have hydrogen and carbon oxides in approximately the following proportions:
  • a product mixture essentially containing synthesis gas and methanol vapor leaves the second reactor 11 through a line 14 and flows in a known manner through a cooler, not shown, with methanol being condensed. Subsequently, gases and liquid are separated in a separation tank and the crude methanol product is removed and purified by distillation. The gases are then passed with the aid of a compressor as synthesis gas to be recycled (recycle gas) via the line 13 through the second reactor 11 and, after the preheating thus carried out, into the first reactor 2. Some of the gases are removed from the cycle (purge), as usual, to limit the accumulation of inert components.

Abstract

Pour la fabrication de méthanol à partir d'un gaz de synthèse contenant de l'hydrogène et des oxydes de carbone, le gaz de synthèse est guidé à travers un premier réacteur de préférence refroidi par eau dans lequel une fraction des oxydes de carbone est transformée en méthanol par catalyse. Le mélange obtenu contenant du gaz de synthèse et de la vapeur de méthanol est guidé vers un deuxième réacteur de préférence refroidi par gaz, dans lequel une fraction ultérieure des oxydes de carbone est transformée en méthanol. Le mélange extrait du premier réacteur est guidé à travers un échangeur thermique gaz/gaz dans lequel le mélange est refroidi jusqu'à une température inférieure à son point de rosée. Puis, dans un séparateur de méthanol, le méthanol est séparé du flux de gaz et extrait tandis que le flux de gaz résiduel est acheminé vers le deuxième réacteur.
