Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for recovering a polyethylene glycol raffinate byproduct form an ethylene glycol process. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) adding phosphoric acid into the polyethylene glycol raffinate, controlling the pH value to be between 7 and 9, conveying the mixture to a preheater (1), and preheating; (2) allowing a preheated material to enter a scraper falling-film evaporator (2), discharging a material at the bottom of the evaporator into an intermediate tank (3), and allowing the material to enter the preheater (1) through a centrifugal separator (8); (3) conveying the mixture of water and alcohol on the top of the falling-film evaporator to a dehydration rectifying tower (3); (4) conveying a mixed alcohol material at the bottom of the tower to an ethylene glycol separating tower (4); (5) conveying the material at the bottom of the tower to a diethylene glycol separating tower (5); and (6) conveying the material at the bottom to a triethylene glycol separating tower (6), and collecting products on the top and bottom of the tower respectively. The method is simple, efficient and low in energy consumption, and is suitable for industrial application; and by the method, the utilization rate of the raffinate produced by ethylene glycol is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of recovery methods and devices for polyethylene glycol raffinate, in particular to a recovery method and device for polyethylene glycol raffinate, a by-product of an ethylene glycol process. Background technique [0002] As an important chemical raw material, ethylene glycol is widely used in fields such as fibers, engineering plastics, and industrial refrigerants. The method of industrial preparation and production of ethylene glycol usually adopts the direct pressurized hydration method using ethylene oxide as the raw material. This method uses a pipeline reactor without using a catalyst, and the reaction is 150-2000 ° C, 0.8-2.0 MPa to prepare ethylene glycol. , the conversion rate of ethylene oxide is close to 100%, the selectivity of ethylene glycol is about 90%, and the main by-products are diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol. [0003] Due to the limitations of this process, in addition to components such...
