The invention discloses a
chloroform /
ethanol / water
system extraction variable-pressure rectification process for comprehensive utilization of latent and
sensible heat, which realizes efficient and comprehensive utilization of energy through three-
tower operation of an extraction reduced-pressure rectification
tower T1, an extraction rectification
tower T2 and a
solvent recovery reduced-pressure rectification tower T3. The tower top steam of the
extractive distillation tower T2 is used for heating the tower bottom liquid of the extractive decompression
distillation tower T1 to vaporize the tower bottom liquid, and meanwhile, the tower top steam of the
solvent recovery decompression
distillation tower T3 is used for carrying out heat exchange on part of the
liquid phase of the middle plate of the extractive decompression
distillation tower T1; the problem that the tower top temperature of the
solvent recovery vacuum distillation tower T3 is between the tower top temperature of the extraction
vacuum distillation tower T1 and the tower kettle temperature, and traditional heat integration cannot be achieved is solved, and
latent heat utilization is achieved. In addition, the tower kettle liquid of the solvent recovery
vacuum distillation tower T3 is used for heating the tower kettle liquid of the extraction distillation tower T2 and the extraction vacuum distillation tower T1, and
sensible heat utilization is achieved. According to the process,
heat energy is fully utilized,
energy consumption is reduced, the purity and yield of
chloroform,
ethanol and water are improved, and the equipment cost is reduced. And the adopted extracting agent is small in dosage, relatively weak in volatility, small in loss, easy to recover and environment-friendly.
