Abstract

The invention discloses an ethanol dehydration fluidized bed process, which takes an ethanol aqueous solution as a material and a molecular sieve as a catalyst, and prepares an ethylene through conducting the dehydration reaction in a fluidized bed reactor. The process comprises the detailed steps that: a molecular sieve catalyst is added to the fluidized bed reactor through a catalyst entrance and the reactor is preheated by heat conducting oil, the ethanol aqueous solution is vaporized, preheated and then supplied to the fluidized bed reactor when reaching the reaction temperature of between 180 and 300 DEG C, the catalyst flows under the action of the airflow of the ethanol water and has the dehydration reaction with the airflow, the reacted gas undergoes the water washing and alkaline washing after the heat exchange, thereby obtaining the ethylene gas. The invention also discloses a high efficient fluidized bed reactor. The process has advantages of improving the heat exchange efficiency, reducing the catalyst consumption and energy consumption, saving costs and improving the ethanol conversion per pass and ethylene yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and in particular relates to a fluidized bed process for ethanol dehydration by using a molecular sieve catalyst and a fluidized bed reactor used in the process. Background technique [0002] Ethylene is the most important basic raw material in the petrochemical industry, and it is also the chemical with the largest output in the world. The development level of the ethylene industry represents the overall development level of a country's petrochemical industry. At present, the industrial production of ethylene at home and abroad adopts the route of petroleum raw materials, but petroleum resources are facing a serious shortage crisis. Therefore, in the case of increasing shortage of oil resources, it is necessary to seek a sustainable development path to solve the negative impact caused by the reduction of oil, which provides an unprecedented opportunity and challenge for the production ...
