The present invention belongs to the field of
petrochemical industry, and discloses a method for selective hydrogenation of butadiene extraction
tail gas and a selective hydrogenation apparatus thereof. The method for selective hydrogenation of butadiene extraction
tail gas comprises: (1) an
alkyne-containing
tail gas from a butadiene extraction unit is fed into a
raw material tank, optionally impurities entrained in the
alkyne-containing tail gas are removed before being fed into the
raw material tank; (2) a C4
raw material in the raw material tank is pressurized by a
feed pump to a pressure required for reaction, then merged with a circulated C4
stream from a first-stage reactor outlet
buffer tank and fed into a first-stage mixer, wherein it is mixed with
hydrogen gas, and fed into the first-stage reactor to undergo a first-stage
hydrogenation reaction, and a first-stage reaction
stream obtained by the reaction is fed into the first-stage reactor outlet
buffer tank; the
hydrogen gas required for the reaction in the first-stage reactor is fed through a first
feeding mode or a second
feeding mode: the first
feeding mode comprises: all the
hydrogen gas required for the reaction is fed through the first-stage reactor outlet
buffer tank, and then fed into the first-stage reactor through a first
route at an outlet of the first-stage reactor outlet buffer tank; the second feeding mode comprises: a part of the hydrogen gas required for the reaction is fed through the first-stage reactor outlet buffer tank, and then fed into the first-stage reactor through the first
route at an outlet of the first-stage reactor outlet buffer tank; and the other part of the hydrogen gas is fed through the first-stage mixer, and then fed into the first-stage reactor; (3) there is no gas-phase
discharge from the first-stage reactor outlet buffer tank, and a liquid-phase product is divided into at least two streams, the first
stream is returned to the first-stage reactor as the circulated C4 stream, and the second stream is used as a feed to a stabilization
tower or subjected to further hydrotreatment prior to being fed into the stabilization
tower; (4) a C4 hydrogenation product is recovered after separation in the stabilization
tower.
