The invention discloses a method for refining
methanol through a dividing wall column combined with a
heat pump. The method comprises the steps of preheating coarse
methanol, then introducing the coarse
methanol into the dividing wall column with a stripping section shared, and conducting rectification treatment; obtaining light component impurities from the part, located at the feed side, of the top of the dividing wall column, and extracting the light component impurities after condensation is conducted; obtaining heavy component impurities containing non-volatile impurities at the column bottom; obtaining refined methanol vapor from the part, located at the non-feed side, of the top of the dividing wall column wherein after the energy grade of the refined methanol vapor is raised through pressurization of a compressor, the refined methanol vapor is used as a heat source of a dividing wall column
reboiler, and obtaining refined methanol after heat exchange and condensation are completed. The invention further discloses a device for refining methanol through the dividing wall column combined with the
heat pump. By means of the method and device for refining methanol through the dividing wall column combined with the
heat pump, heat is utilized reasonably, and process
energy consumption is greatly lowered; the operation capacity is large, and the
energy conservation effect is remarkable; the equipment size is small, and the occupied area is reduced; operation is conducted under a normal pressure condition,
corrosion to equipment caused by the impurities is avoided,
material requirements of the equipment are lowered, and equipment investment is saved; the
impurity separation capability is great, and an obtained product is high in purity and good in quality.
