Abstract

The invention relates to a method for sequential separation and azeotropic recovery of ethyl benzene / styrene and mainly aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art that the reduction of the polymerization loss of styrene and the reduction of the operating energy consumption cannot be simultaneously achieved in an ethyl benzene / styrene separation industrial device. The method comprises the following steps of: a) making ethyl benzene and styrene containing tower bottoms of a benzene-toluene tower enter an ethyl benzene / styrene separating tower to obtain ethyl benzene containing tower top gas material current I and styrene containing tower bottom material current II; b, putting the material current II in a refined styrene separation tower for separation, putting the material current I in an ethyl benzene / water azeotropic evaporator, heating an ethyl benzene / water mixture from the outside to obtain the ethyl benzene / water azeotropic material current III exchanging heat, partially returning the condensed material current I to the tower top, and partially circulating the condensed material current I to a reaction area; and c), compressing the material current III, and transferring the compressed material current III to the reaction area, wherein an operating pressure of the ethyl benzene / styrene separation tower top is 5 to 20kPaA. The technical scheme better solves the technical problems and can be applied to the industrial production requiring the separation of the ethyl benzene.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ethylbenzene / styrene sequential separation azeotropic heat recovery method. Background technique [0002] Styrene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials, used to manufacture polystyrene PS and EPS, ABS and SAN and other copolymer resins, styrene / butadiene copolymer latex SB, styrene-butadiene rubber and latex SBR, unsaturated Polyester and others such as styrene / methyl methacrylate latex, methyl methacrylate / butadiene / styrene copolymer MBS, ion exchange resins and drugs, etc. [0003] The key to the rectification part of the styrene production process is the separation of ethylbenzene and styrene. Since the difference between the boiling points of ethylbenzene and styrene is very small, the difference is only 9°C under normal pressure. Therefore, for the separation of ethylbenzene / styrene (generally Styrene at the top of the tower is required to be less than 2%, and ethylbenzene at the bottom of t...
