Abstract

The invention relates to a toluene disproportionation process for producing high-purity benzene. The process comprises the following steps that: (1) a raw material containing more than 90 percent of toluene counted in percentage by weight enters a rectification system for removing impurities in order to improve the concentration of the toluene as the raw material (counted in percentage by weight)to more than 97 percent; and the water content is less than 300 ppm; and (2) the purified raw material passes through a reactor of a fixed bed and is contacted with a catalyst for reaction to obtain benzene and xylene under the condition of critical hydrogen; the reaction temperature is between 300 and 500 DEG C; the reaction pressure is between 0.5 and 5.0 MPa; the weight space velocity of the raw material is between 0.1 and 15.0 hours<-1>; and the molar ratio of hydrogen to toluene is 0.2-10.0:1. The process solves the technical problems that a benzene product has low purity; the disproportionation process strictly limits the combination of the reaction material and has instable reaction activity and more sub-reaction when the toluene is processed in the prior art.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a toluene disproportionation process for producing high-purity benzene. Background technique [0002] Toluene disproportionation (including toluene shape-selective disproportionation) is an important unit in the production of aromatics, and is the main method for industrial production of benzene and xylene. The usual toluene disproportionation process adopts the process that the toluene-containing raw material directly enters the reactor for reaction. The raw material buffer tank in the advanced process of toluene raw material is mixed with circulating toluene and then mixed with hydrogen, and then heated and then contacted with the catalyst in the reactor for reaction; the reacted material is cooled and separated into gas phase and liquid phase. The liquid phase enters the subsequent rectification system to separate non-aromatic, benzene, toluene, xylene and other products, and the unreacted toluene is recycled back to the re...
