The present invention relates to a method for separating and recovering unreacted alcohol, and more particularly, to a method for separating and recovering unreacted alcohol capable of separating and recovering unreacted alcohol in a single process.
In the distillation process, the continuous process is recognized as a low labor-intensive process as well as a high energy efficiency as compared with the batch process. However, in the case of the batch process, since the process has flexibility, Type products can be separated from one distillation column, and various kinds of manufacturing processes can be performed in a short time. Therefore, in order to separate unreacted alcohol, it is necessary to use a method of reacting alcohol such as butanol and octanol by a batch process. After such reaction, unreacted alcohol and solvent Etc. are boiled at the same time, and the recovered alcohol mixture is subjected to an additional separation step, whereby the unreacted alcohol can be separated.
As described above, since various kinds of products can be separated from one distillation column and various kinds of manufacturing processes can be performed in a short time, even though the batch process is mostly used when the unreacted alcohol is separated , Since the additional separation step must be separately performed in order to separate unreacted alcohol contained in the recovered alcohol mixture, a large amount of operation cost is required, and there is a high possibility of product loss. The advantage is not maximized.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for separating and recovering unreacted alcohol in a single process, and a method for separating and recovering unreacted alcohol capable of re-feeding separated unreacted alcohol as a starting material .

Meanwhile, the method of separating and recovering unreacted alcohol according to the present invention may be carried out by adjusting the operating conditions such as the reflux ratio, the reflux amount, the degree of vacuum, and the amount of heat energy supplied, as described above, And the unreacted alcohol contained in the unreacted alcohol is separately separated and recovered. The process apparatus used in the method for separating and recovering the unreacted alcohol according to the present invention is not so different from the usual process, , The process apparatus used in the separation and recovery method of the unreacted alcohol according to the present invention will be briefly explained.
FIG. 1 is a process diagram illustrating a method for separating and recovering unreacted alcohol according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. Referring to FIG. 1, the unreacted alcohol is separated from the unreacted alcohol by reacting the reactants containing the alcohols in a reactor (or a reactor) in the production process in which two kinds of alcohols having different boiling points are reactants, (Ii) supplying a reaction product containing two unreacted alcohols to the
The conventional unreacted alcohol separation method separates unreacted alcohols according to the kind by separating all the components except for the reaction products by increasing the degree of vacuum and condensing them after evaporating the unreacted alcohol. That is, in other words, a reactor, a distillation column and a condenser are used, but unlike the present invention, there is a difference in that the product by the last device is an alcohol mixture rather than an unreacted alcohol. Hereinafter, It is possible to separate unreacted alcohols in one process without any additional process, unlike the conventional unreacted alcohol separation process.
The separation and recovery method of the unreacted alcohol according to the present invention is characterized in that when the above processes (reaction, distillation and condensation) are performed, the reflux ratio, the reflux rate, And the amount of heat energy supplied, the unreacted alcohol contained in the reaction product is separated and recovered in the same process. Meanwhile, various production processes using the alcohol as a reactant include a process for producing an intended product by reacting with an alcohol, for example, when the present invention is applied to a process for producing a plasticizer, 100) can be supplied with raw materials necessary for the production of alcohol and a plasticizer.
When the alcohol mixture is fed to the
Here, when the unreacted alcohol separated from the alcohol mixture is, for example, unreacted butanol and unreacted octanol, the purity of the unreacted butanol is 98.5 wt% or more, preferably 98.9 wt% or more, Is 99.0 wt% or more, and the purity of the unreacted octanol is 97.0 wt% or more, preferably 97.3 wt% or more, more preferably 97.5 wt% or more.
As described above, the reflux ratio among the operating conditions (the reflux ratio, the reflux amount, the degree of vacuum, and the thermal energy supply) for allowing the unreacted alcohol to be separated and recovered in the same process will be described first. The reflux ratio is a ratio of an alcohol mixture which is refluxed to the
The reflux rate refers to the flow rate of the alcohol mixture which is refluxed to the

Lastly, the supply of the thermal energy is performed when the degree of vacuum of the
The four operating conditions (reflux ratio, reflux amount, vacuum degree, and heat energy supply) discussed above have the characteristic of facilitating the separation of unreacted alcohol, and the remaining operating conditions except for the vacuum degree are adjusted independently Although the unreacted alcohol may be separated, it is preferred that at least two operating conditions be adjusted together.
Meanwhile, the unreacted alcohol separated as described above can be supplied to the
If the unreacted alcohol such as high purity butanol and high purity octanol is directly reused in the same process, the unreacted alcohol can be separated and recovered in a separate process and then supplied to the reactor again Not only the cost can be reduced, but also the cost of raw materials can be reduced. Thus, the cost of separating and recovering unreacted alcohol can be drastically reduced.

Example
Isolation of Unreacted Alcohol
[Example 1]
After the plasticizer preparation reaction, a mixture containing 17.8 wt% of octanol, 3.5 wt% of butanol, 78.4 wt% of plasticizer (GL-500, LG Chem) and 0.3 wt% of water remaining in the reactor was fed The distillation and condensation were carried out to separate and recover the unreacted alcohol. At this time, as shown in the following Table 1, starting at the atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) for the first time, Vacuum was operated at a vacuum of 40 mmHg for 60 minutes, and the reflux ratio in the process was changed from 2 until the operating time of 25 minutes to 4.15 after 60 minutes. By changing the operating conditions, high purity unreacted alcohol was selected Lt; / RTI >
[Example 2]
As shown in Table 1, instead of controlling the reflux ratio in the process, the reflux rate was 1,500 kg / hr until the operating time of 10 minutes, 2,500 kg / hr until 20 minutes, 3,500 kg / hr, 2500 kg / hr until 45 minutes, 1,500 kg / hr until 55 minutes, and 200 kg / hr until 60 minutes, thereby obtaining a high purity unreacted alcohol .
[Example 3]
As shown in Table 1 below, the reflux rate was changed from 2 minutes to 45 minutes, from 2,000 kg / hr to 55 minutes, from 55 minutes to 55 minutes, instead of operating at a vacuum degree of 40 mmHg until 60 minutes. Minute, unreacted alcohol of high purity was selectively obtained in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the amount of the unreacted alcohol was adjusted to 100 kg / hr.
[Example 4]
As shown in the following Table 1, the operation was performed at 130 mmHg instead of operating at a vacuum degree of 40 mmHg from 25 minutes to 60 minutes. The reflux rate was 500 kg / hr for the operation time of 5 minutes, 750 kg / hr / hr, 1,000 kg / hr for 15 minutes, 1,500 kg / hr for 20 minutes, 2,200 kg / hr for 25 minutes, 3,000 kg / hr for 30 minutes, 2,400 kg / hr for 35 minutes, 1,700 kg / Hr of 1,400 kg / hr until 55 minutes, 1,300 kg / hr until 60 minutes, and a heat of 0.5 Gcal / hr from the operation time of 30 minutes to 60 minutes. To obtain a high purity unreacted alcohol selectively.
[Example 5]
As shown in Table 1 below, instead of performing the stepwise vacuum for up to 25 minutes, only up to 5 minutes, and after the stepwise vacuum for 60 minutes, the operation was performed for 40 minutes instead of 40 mmHg of vacuum. The reflux ratio in the process High-purity unreacted alcohol was selectively obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the time until 10 minutes was 2, the time was 3 minutes until 20 minutes, 3.5 after 30 minutes, and 4.15 after the last 40 minutes.
[Example 6]
As shown in the following Table 1, the reflux ratio in the process was 1.25 until the operation time of 10 minutes, 1.5 after 20 minutes, The high-purity unreacted alcohol was selectively obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the heat was supplied at a rate of 0.5 Gcal / hr from the beginning of the operation to the end of the operation from the beginning to the end of 40 minutes .
[Comparative Example 1]
As shown in Table 1 below, only the degree of vacuum in the operating conditions was the same as in Example 1, except for the remaining operating conditions, and the unreacted alcohol was separated from the alcohol mixture.
Evaluation of Purity of Isolated Unreacted Alcohol
[Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1]
As a result of carrying out in the same manner as Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1, it was confirmed that the operation conditions such as reflux ratio, reflux rate, vacuum degree and heat energy supply amount were controlled, 6, unreacted alcohols, that is, unreacted butanol and unreacted octanol were separated in high purity through the same in-process distillation column, and in the case of Comparative Example 1 in which the operating conditions in the process were not controlled, the alcohol mixture Only the plasticizer (GL-500) and the solvent were separated, and the purity of the unreacted alcohol separated from the distillation column is shown in Table 2 below. In Table 2, 'purity' indicates the degree of pure alcohol, and the purity of butanol was determined using the relational expression 'butanol / (butanol + octanol) * 100 (%)' Was determined using the relational expression 'octanol / (butanol + octanol) * 100 (%)'.
As shown in Table 2, it can be seen that, in Examples 1 to 6, high-purity butanol was separated from the top of the distillation column and high-purity octanol was separated from the bottom (Btm). Particularly, in the case of the third embodiment in which the degree of vacuum and the reflux rate are simultaneously adjusted, it can be seen that the separation time is shortened (it takes 55 minutes to separate), and as a result, (Comparison of Examples 2 and 3). Further, when the degree of vacuum is low and it is difficult to separate the unreacted alcohol, the unreacted alcohol can be more easily separated through the supply of thermal energy as in the fourth embodiment.
In addition, it is also possible to dramatically shorten the separation time (that is, to shorten the time required for the step-by-step vacuum to reach the high vacuum more quickly) In addition, even when the vacuum can not be quickly reached because a stepwise vacuum is required for a certain period of time, the thermal energy is supplied as in the sixth embodiment, so that the separation time (I.e., completion of unreacted alcohol separation in operation time of 40 minutes). On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Example 1, only the plasticizer (GL-500) and the solvent were separated from the alcohol mixture, and further purification steps were required to separate the unreacted alcohol.
