Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for obtaining acrylic acid from a reaction gas which contains acrylic acid, acrolein, water and impurities and which is formed during the catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene and acrolein.
- the process comprises quenching the reaction gas with a quenching liquid in a first section, whereby a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid are obtained.
- the process further comprises cooling the gas stream by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid in a second section, in which the aqueous liquid is collected and removed at a removal position at the lower end of the second section, indirectly cooled and at least part of the cooled aqueous liquid is fed back to the second section.
- the invention relates to an apparatus for obtaining acrylic acid from a reaction gas, comprising a first section for quenching the reaction gas with a quenching liquid to obtain a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid, and a second section for cooling the gas stream by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid.
- DE 197 40 253 A1 discloses a process for the fractional condensation of a hot gas mixture with a high proportion of non-condensable components.
- the process relates in particular to the production of acrylic acid by heterogeneously catalyzed gas phase oxidation.
- the hot gas mixture which has a high proportion of non-condensable components, is fractionally condensed by being fed from below into a column with separating internals and the condensable components are condensed out by cooling.
- a high-boiling fraction is condensed by distilling and condensing out the high-boiling fraction from the gas stream being fed upwards in countercurrent.
- An external cooling circuit is provided in the upper part of the column. In the cooling circuit, the condensation of the low boiling fraction from the gas flow that is guided upwards in countercurrent takes place. The condensation heat is removed externally in the cooling circuit by means of a heat exchanger, whereby the condensed low boiling fraction is withdrawn via a line, cooled and a portion of the cooled, condensed low boiling fraction is returned to the column via a line arranged above the extraction line. In the process, a portion of the condensed low boiling fraction is discharged.
- EP 1 097 916 A2 discloses a further process and a further device for producing acrylic acid.
- the reaction gas is fed to an absorption column and brought into contact there with an acrylic acid absorption solvent, whereby the reaction gas is cooled and absorbed.
- a liquid stream containing acrylic acid is obtained.
- the liquid stream containing acrylic acid is fed to a cooling device, cooled there, and then fed back into a middle section of the absorption column.
- the present invention is based on the object of specifying a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset, the energy requirement for cooling the withdrawn aqueous liquid is reduced and in which an optimization is achieved with regard to the energy consumption for cooling and the acrylic acid losses.
- the process according to the invention for obtaining acrylic acid from a reaction gas which contains acrylic acid, acrolein, water and impurities and which is formed in the catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene and acrolein comprises the following steps: a) quenching the reaction gas with a quenching liquid in a first section, whereby a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid are obtained, and b) cooling the gas stream by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid in a second section in which the aqueous liquid is collected and removed at a removal position at the lower end of the second section, indirectly cooled and at least a portion of the cooled aqueous liquid is returned to the second section.
- the aqueous liquid is cooled in several successive heat exchangers, wherein a first portion of the aqueous liquid is returned to the second section after the last heat exchanger at a first temperature at a first return position above the removal position and a second portion of the aqueous liquid is discharged at a first discharge position after a heat exchanger and before the last heat exchanger at a second temperature and is returned to the second section at a second return position which is below the first return position.
- the second section can also be referred to as a quenching or backwashing section.
- the aqueous liquid taken from the second section is thus cooled in several stages, each stage comprising at least one separate heat exchanger.
- the successive heat exchangers thus form a multi-stage cooling system in which the aqueous liquid is cooled to a lower temperature in each cooling stage.
- readily available coolants such as air or surface water are expediently used. It has been found that the energy requirement of the heat exchangers can be reduced by discharging a second portion of the aqueous liquid before the last heat exchanger and returning it to the second section, with essentially the same or only insignificantly higher acrylic acid losses. At the same time, however, the energy requirement for cooling the aqueous liquid is reduced, since the last heat exchanger only cools the first portion of the aqueous liquid and no longer the second portion of the aqueous liquid that has been discharged.
- the cooling medium used by the heat exchanger(s) located downstream of the first discharge position is cooled using energy.
- the cooling medium used by the or at least one of the heat exchangers, which located upstream of the first discharge position, is removed from the environment without cooling.
- downstream and upstream in this document refer to the flow direction of the aqueous liquid sampled.
- the method according to the invention takes into account that the energy required to cool the extracted aqueous liquid is different for the successive heat exchangers.
- the cooling medium can be taken from the environment without being cooled. For example, ambient air can be sucked in or surface water can be pumped into the heat exchanger. If the aqueous liquid is to be cooled to a temperature that is in the range of the ambient temperature or below the ambient temperature, energy, for example electrical energy, must be applied for the cooling. For example, the cooling medium must be cooled using electrical energy.
- the cooling power is shifted to heat exchangers, in which less energy, in particular electrical energy, has to be applied for the cooling power, since they can be operated with a cooling medium that can be taken from the environment without prior cooling. If the amount of the cooled volume flow is increased in the method according to the invention, an energy saving can advantageously result when carrying out the method with the same overall cooling power.
- the method according to the invention can be used in particular in an environment with relatively high temperatures, since in this case a relatively high proportion of the cooling capacity must be provided by heat exchangers that use cooling media that must be cooled by electrical energy. Shifting the cooling capacity to heat exchangers that use cooling media from the environment advantageously leads to energy savings in this case, even if a larger volume flow of the aqueous liquid is cooled to achieve a substantially equal total cooling capacity.
- a third portion of the cooled aqueous liquid is discharged at a second discharge position to at least one further heat exchanger upstream of the removal of the second portion at a third temperature and mixed with the second portion of the cooled aqueous liquid and then returned to the second section at the second return position with a second return temperature.
- a first return temperature corresponds to the first temperature at which the first portion of the aqueous liquid is returned to the second section after the last heat exchanger.
- the second return temperature is between the second and the third temperature, since the cooled aqueous liquid of the third portion, which has the third temperature, is mixed with the cooled aqueous liquid of the second portion, the temperature of which is lower than the third temperature.
- the energy requirement for cooling the withdrawn aqueous liquid can be optimized, taking acrylic acid losses into account. Losses in acrylic acid production, which may be slightly higher, are offset by significant energy savings for cooling the aqueous liquid.
- the cooling medium used by the heat exchanger(s) arranged upstream of the second discharge position is removed from the environment without being cooled.
- this embodiment of the method according to the invention shifts the cooling capacity even further to heat exchangers, in which less energy, in particular electrical energy, has to be applied for the cooling capacity, since they can be operated with a cooling medium which can be taken from the environment without prior cooling.
- the reaction gas passes through a first section in which a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid are obtained by quenching the reaction gas with a quenching liquid.
- the gas stream is also cooled by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid.
- the aqueous liquid is collected, for example, at the removal position at the lower end and removed there.
- the removed aqueous liquid is then cooled indirectly by means of successive heat exchangers and at least a portion of the cooled aqueous liquid is fed back to the second section, namely a first portion with a first return temperature at a first, upper return position and a second portion with a second, higher return temperature at the second Return position located between the first return position and the removal position.
- the two sections can be designed separately; however, they can also be integrated, for example, in a condensation column. If the two sections are designed in a common condensation column, the first section is arranged in particular below the second section. In this case, the two sections are separated in particular by a collecting tray, which thus forms the lower end of the second section.
- the collecting tray can have at least one chimney through which the reaction gas can rise from the first section and reach the second section.
- the aqueous liquid condensed in the second section collects on the collecting tray.
- the removal position is in particular slightly above the collecting tray at the lower end of the second section, but below the liquid level of the condensate, so that the aqueous liquid collected on the collecting tray can be led out of the second section to be indirectly cooled by the heat exchangers.
- a fourth portion of the aqueous liquid removed at the removal position is fed back to the first section so that it does not run dry.
- this fourth portion of the aqueous liquid of the condensation column below the collecting tray can be fed to the upper region of the first section so that the rising reaction gas is fed in countercurrent to this aqueous liquid returned to the first section.
- a fifth portion of the withdrawn aqueous liquid can be discharged from the second section for further extraction of the acrylic acid still contained in the aqueous liquid.
- This fifth portion can be further processed in a downstream extraction column for the recovery of acrylic acid portions.
- the first temperature is in particular in a range from 5 °C to 21 °C.
- the first temperature is, for example, in a range from 18 °C to 21 °C.
- the second temperature is in particular in a range from 21 °C to 30 °C.
- the second temperature is in a range from 23 °C to 27 °C.
- the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
- the third temperature is in particular in a range from 36 °C to 50 °C, preferably in a range from 35 °C to 45 °C.
- the third temperature can be in a range from 40 °C to 44 °C.
- the third temperature is higher than the second temperature.
- the second return temperature is in particular higher than the second temperature. It is in particular in a range from 37 °C to 50 °C, for example in a range from 25 °C to 42 °C.
- the temperature level in the second section can be shifted compared to a conventional return with only one return position.
- the withdrawal rate of the withdrawn aqueous liquid can be varied. If the cooled aqueous liquid is returned at a higher temperature at the second return position, in the method according to the invention the withdrawal rate of the aqueous liquid can be increased and at the same time the rate of the cooled aqueous liquid returned at the two return positions can be increased accordingly. In this way, an optimization can be carried out in which a higher temperature level is compensated by a larger volume of cooled aqueous liquid returned.
- the gas stream containing acrylic acid is cooled by bringing it into contact with the aqueous liquid.
- sour water is condensed, which, in addition to water, also contains significant amounts of acrylic acid and, in smaller proportions, other carboxylic acids.
- the aqueous liquid taken from the second section and then returned i.e. the sour water
- the energy consumption for cooling increases. If the aqueous liquid is returned at a higher temperature, the energy consumption for cooling is lower. At the same time, the temperature increase shifts the temperature profile of the column upwards. This increases the proportion of acrylic acid that reaches the upper condensation area and can be condensed.
- the acid water which is removed from the second section and the cooling circuit and fed to a downstream extraction column can advantageously have a higher acrylic acid content.
- the process according to the invention can thus be used to carry out very flexible optimization with regard to energy consumption, the acrylic acid content in the discharged acid water and the acrylic acid losses.
- the device according to the invention for obtaining acrylic acid from a reaction gas comprises a first section for quenching the reaction gas with a quenching liquid in order to obtain a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid.
- the device further comprises a second section for cooling the gas stream by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid.
- the second section has a removal opening at a removal position at the lower end of the second section and at least a first and a second return opening at a first and a second return position, each above the removal position, with the second return position being below the first return position.
- the device according to the invention further comprises a plurality of successive heat exchangers arranged in series between the removal opening and the second return opening for cooling aqueous liquid that has been withdrawn from the second section through the removal opening.
- a first return line connects the last heat exchanger to the first return opening for returning a first portion of the aqueous liquid to the second section at a first temperature
- a second return line connects, at a first discharge position, a first region after the first heat exchanger and before the last heat exchanger to the second return opening for discharging and returning a second portion of the aqueous liquid to the second section at a second temperature.
- the device according to the invention is particularly designed to carry out the method according to the invention. It therefore also has the same advantages as the method according to the invention.
- the device has a third return line which, in a second discharge position, connects a second region, which is arranged at least one further heat exchanger upstream of the first region, to the second return line for discharging a third portion of the aqueous liquid at a third temperature and for mixing the third portion with the second portion.
- this design of the device according to the invention makes it possible, in at least two different regions which are separated at least by a heat exchanger, to discharge aqueous liquid at different temperatures from the cooling circuit in addition to the first portion of the aqueous liquid returned via the first return line, and to return it to the second section via the second return line.
- This arrangement of the return lines enables the energy requirement of the heat exchangers to be optimized when the device is used to extract acrylic acid.
- the heat exchangers are in particular indirect heat exchangers in which thermal energy is transferred from the extracted aqueous liquid to another material flow, the cooling medium.
- the heat exchangers arranged in series cool the aqueous liquid extracted from the second section further through each heat exchanger. Multi-stage cooling can thus be carried out in which the aqueous liquid is cooled to a lower temperature at each cooling stage.
- the heat exchanger(s) arranged upstream of the second discharge position are selected from an air cooler and a water cooler.
- the first heat exchanger in the device according to the invention is an air cooler.
- a second heat exchanger arranged downstream of the first heat exchanger is, for example, a water cooler, for example a surface water cooler.
- the water used for cooling is, for example, taken from a river without being cooled.
- At least one further heat exchanger e.g. a third heat exchanger, which is located downstream of the second discharge position and upstream of the first discharge position is arranged, a cold water cooler.
- a cold water cooler In this case, water is used as the cooling medium, which has been cooled compared to the water used in the water cooler. Energy, in particular electrical energy, must be used for this.
- the cold water cooler can also be a brine-cooled heat exchanger.
- a glycol-water mixture is used as the cooling medium of the third heat exchanger.
- two heat exchangers are arranged downstream of the second discharge position and upstream of the first discharge position.
- one of these heat exchangers uses a glycol-water mixture as the cooling medium and the other of these heat exchangers uses water as the cooling medium, which has been cooled compared to the water used in the water cooler.
- At least one further heat exchanger e.g. a fifth heat exchanger, which is arranged downstream of the first discharge position, is a liquid gas evaporator, by which the sour water is cooled even further after the first discharge position.
- the second return line connects the outlet of the cold water cooler with the second return opening.
- the third return line connects the outlet of the water cooler with the second return line.
- a mixer is arranged between the third return line and the second return line, which mixer mixes the third portion of the aqueous liquid with the second portion of the aqueous liquid.
- Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the basic structure of the device corresponds to an arrangement as described in DE 197 40 253 A1.
- the device comprises a condensation column 1 with a first section 2 and a second section 3.
- reaction gas containing acrylic acid, acrolein, water and impurities that arise during the catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene and acrolein is introduced into a sump area.
- the hot reaction gas is cooled by quenching, i.e. by direct cooling. This creates a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a gas stream containing acrylic acid flowing upwards in countercurrent.
- a collecting tray 4 is arranged through which the gas stream containing acrylic acid can pass, e.g. through at least one chimney.
- the collecting tray 4 separates the first section 2 from the second section 3.
- the two sections 2 and 3 are formed in a condensation column 1.
- the gas stream rising in the second section 3 is also cooled by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid. Quenching also takes place in the second section 3, i.e. direct cooling of the rising gas stream by means of an aqueous liquid guided in countercurrent. The gas stream is finally led out of the condensation column 1 via the outlet opening 5.
- the aqueous liquid that collects on the collecting tray 4 and contains condensed components of the rising gas stream is also known as sour water.
- this liquid also contains significant amounts of acrylic acid and, in smaller proportions, other carboxylic acids.
- the sour water is taken from the second section 3.
- a removal opening 6 is provided at a removal position just above the upper surface of the collecting base 4.
- the sour water is subjected to multi-stage cooling via this removal opening 6.
- This multi-stage cooling comprises several heat exchangers, which are generally designated 8, and a large number of lines, which are generally designated 9.
- the sour water is removed via line 9-1 at the removal opening 6 via a pump 7 and fed to a first heat exchanger 8-1 via line 9-2.
- the first heat exchanger 8-1 is an air cooler.
- the first heat exchanger 8-1 cools the removed sour water.
- the extracted sour water is fed via another line 9-3 to a second heat exchanger 8-2, where it is cooled further.
- the second heat exchanger 8-2 is designed as a water cooler, which uses surface water as the cooling medium.
- the extracted sour water is fed to a third heat exchanger 8-3 via another line 9-4, which cools the sour water even further.
- the third heat exchanger 8-3 uses a glycol-water mixture as a cooling medium, which has a temperature of 32 °C, for example. It can serve as a heating medium in the process and extract heat from the sour water circuit.
- the cooled acid water passes via line 9-5 to a fourth heat exchanger 8-4, which is designed as a cold water cooler.
- cooled water is used as the cooling medium, which has a lower temperature than the surface water used by the water cooler.
- the cooled acid water enters the line 9-6. There, the acid water is divided into a first portion and a second portion at a first discharge position 16-1.
- the first portion is passed on in line 9-6 to a fifth heat exchanger 8-5, which is designed as a liquid gas evaporator.
- the extracted sour water is cooled even further.
- the first portion of the even further cooled sour water passes through a first return line 11-1 through a first return opening 10-1 at a first return position back to the second section 3.
- the first return position is located in the upper area of the second section 3, i.e. at the top of the condensation column 1.
- the cooled sour water is led downwards, i.e. in countercurrent to the rising reaction gas, whereby the reaction gas is cooled and acrylic acid, among other things, is enriched in the aqueous liquid.
- the aqueous liquid then collects on the collecting tray 4.
- a second return line 11-2 For discharging the second portion of the cooled sour water at the first discharge position 16-1, a second return line 11-2 is provided, which connects a region after the first heat exchanger 8-1 and before the last heat exchanger 8-5 with a second return opening 10-2 for returning the second portion of the sour water to the second section 3.
- the second return line 11-2 branches off at the first Discharge position 16-1 from line 9-6, which connects the fourth heat exchanger 8-4 with the fifth heat exchanger 8-5.
- the second return opening 10-2 is arranged at a second return position which is arranged between the withdrawal position and the first return position.
- the second temperature at which the second portion of the sour water is returned is higher than the first temperature at which the first portion of the sour water is returned, since the second portion of the sour water has not been cooled by means of the fifth heat exchanger 8-5.
- the second section 3 of the condensation column 1 thus has a plurality of return openings, generally designated 10, at which a cooled aqueous liquid is returned at different temperatures at different return positions.
- a further fifth portion of the extracted acid water is discharged from line 9-2 via an extraction line 13 and fed to a downstream extraction column 15.
- the extracted acid water is further processed in the extraction column 15 to recover acrylic acid portions.
- acrylic acid is obtained from a reaction gas containing acrylic acid, acrolein, water and impurities, which is formed during the catalytic gas phase oxidation of propylene and acrolein.
- the reaction gas is fed to the first section 2 of the condensation column 1 and cooled there by quenching with a quenching liquid. This results in a liquid stream containing acrylic acid and a countercurrent gas stream containing acrylic acid, which rises in the condensation column 1.
- a portion of the liquid stream containing acrylic acid is removed from the first section 2 via a side draw (not shown) and acrylic acid is obtained therefrom.
- the gas stream containing acrylic acid passes through a chimney of the collecting tray 4 into the second section 3 of the condensation column 1. There, the gas stream is cooled by bringing it into contact with an aqueous liquid.
- the aqueous liquid is guided in countercurrent to the rising gas stream so that acrylic acid is enriched in the aqueous liquid. It collects on the collecting tray 4.
- the aqueous liquid, ie the sour water is removed at a removal position at the removal opening 6 at the lower end of the second section 3 and cooled in several successive heat exchangers 8. The removal position is therefore arranged below the liquid level of the sour water collecting on the collecting tray 4.

- a volume flow of 36.70 m 3 /h is fed back to the first section 2 of the condensation column in line 9-2 via column line 14. Furthermore, acid water with a volume flow of 14.51 m 3 /h is discharged from line 9-2 via extraction line 13 and fed to extraction column 15.

- the sour water is then passed through the second heat exchanger 8-2, where it is cooled to 42 °C.
- the cooling capacity of the second heat exchanger 8-2 required for this is 6,612 kW.
- the sour water is then fed to the third heat exchanger 8-3 and cooled to 39 °C.

- the power consumption required for cooling of the fifth heat exchanger 8-5 is 1,400 kW. Since the fifth heat exchanger 8-5 is a liquid gas evaporator, it also takes this energy from the sour water.
- the second portion is returned to the second section 3 of the condensation column 1 via the second return opening 10-2 at the second return temperature of 24.7 °C at the second return position.
- the temperature profile in section 3 of the condensation column 1 increases in comparison to a process in which no portion of the acid water is discharged and returned at a higher temperature. This increases the acrylic acid content in section 3.
- a volume flow of 14.51 m 3 /h at 62.7°C with 9.97% acrylic acid results in section 3.
- the device of the second embodiment essentially corresponds to the device of the first embodiment, which is why only the differences from the device of the first embodiment are discussed below.

- the first heat exchanger 8-1 and the second heat exchanger 8-2 are arranged upstream of the second discharge position. These two heat exchangers 8-1, 8-2 are characterized by the fact that the cooling medium they use, i.e. the ambient air and the surface water, is taken from the environment without cooling and does not need to be cooled separately, in particular for use in the heat exchangers 8-1, 8-2.
- the cooling medium they use i.e. the ambient air and the surface water

- the power consumption required for this is 9,464 kW.
- line 9-4 around 70% of the sour water is discharged at the second discharge position 16-2 at a temperature of 42°C.
- the remaining portion, approximately 30%, is fed to the third heat exchanger 8-3 and cooled to 35 °C. This requires an output of 2,453 kW.
- the sour water is then fed to the fourth heat exchanger 8-4 and cooled to 25 °C. This requires an electrical output of 3,291 kW.
- the first portion of the sour water is cooled to 20.9 °C in the fifth heat exchanger 8-5 and returned to the second section 3 at the first return position through the first return opening 10-1.
- the power consumption of the fifth heat exchanger 8-5 is 1,400 kW, as in the first embodiment.
- the acid water is discharged after the second heat exchanger 8-2 at a higher temperature of e.g. 42 °C.
- this portion is then variably mixed with another portion of the acid water, which was brought to a lower temperature by the second and third heat exchangers 8-2, 8-3.
- this way it is possible to return the acid water in variable quantities and at variable temperatures via the second return opening 10-2 to the second section 3. This enables process optimization in favor of energy savings while controlling acrylic acid losses.
