Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of the two sets of devices is that except for changing the reactor to a fixed bed, the others are basically a replica of the petroleum ethylene process, and the technology used in the 1980s has not had much innovation and change, and it has not yet completely targeted ethanol. A competitive device designed for the characteristics of dehydration to ethylene
The cooling of the product often needs to consume a large amount of cooling water, and the waste water produced increases the load of the sewage treatment system; due to the high operating temperature of the quench tower, organic substances such as ethanol, ether, and aldehydes in the crude ethylene product are brought into the system due to incomplete cleaning. Alkali washing section, which leads to the blockage of the alkali washing tower from time to time

Abstract

The present invention is the process of producing ethylene with ethanol obtained through fermenting biomass as the material, and provides one biomass path of preparing ethylene. The present invention features the coupling of ethanol distilling process and chemically catalytic ethylene preparing process. The ethylene producing process includes: distilling 5-45 % concentration ethanol solution to obtain mixed ethanol-water vapor, heating the mixed ethanol-water vapor to 150-350 deg.c, catalytic reaction in a gas-solid reactor to obtain coarse ethanol product, cooling, gas-liquid separating to eliminate components with boiling point higher than 70 deg.c and obtain ethylene gas, and washing, drying and refining to obtain ethylene product. The ethylene producing process has low comprehensive power consumption, low cost and high marketability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical industry, in particular to a process for selectively dehydrating ethanol as a raw material to generate ethylene. Background technique [0002] Ethylene is an extremely important organic chemical basic raw material, known as the "mother of petrochemical industry", mainly used to produce polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, dichlorodioxane, ethylbenzene, Various important organic chemical products such as phenylethane, styrene, vinyl acetate, etc. At present, ethylene production methods at home and abroad are mainly produced by catalytic cracking of petroleum raw materials. In recent years, new breakthroughs have been made in the research on the production of ethylene from non-petroleum raw materials. For example, patent CN1569783A and patent CN1317468A reported a new method of hydrogenation of acetylene as raw material to prepare ethylene Process, patent CN86104433A ...
