Abstract

The invention provides a continuous purification method for crude acetonitrile. A lateral line condenser is arranged at a third rectifying tower, so that the heat energy of an acetonitrile final product can be adequately recovered, the load of a reboiler at the bottom of the third rectifying tower and the refrigerant quantity of an acetonitrile final product cooler can be effectively reduced, the energy consumption can be saved, and 500-600MJ of energy can be saved for each ton of the acetonitrile product; and distillate is returned from the top of the third rectifying tower, so that the accumulation of oxazole in a system can be reduced, the yield of the acetonitrile can be guaranteed as well, and the problem that the operation load of a first rectifying tower can be obviously increased since all the distillate on the top of the third rectifying tower returns to the first rectifying tower in the prior art can be improved. Furthermore, a corresponding pipeline for adding a polymerization inhibitor is increased on the conventional three-tower and one-kettle refining technology, so that the problem that the exposed devices are easy to polymerize in the existing acetonitrile purification process in China can be solved, and the continuous purification method has the advantages of being high in industrial application value, and high in acetonitrile final product purity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a continuous purification method of crude acetonitrile. Background technique [0002] Acetonitrile is an organic solvent with excellent properties and an important raw material for fine chemicals. It is used as an extractant to extract butadiene and isoprene from olefins and paraffins in petrochemical industry. It is an important synthetic raw material for organic synthesis, medicine, pesticides, surfactants, dyes and other fine chemicals. It is also used as a chromatographic The mobile phase solvent for analysis has been used as a DNA synthesis / purification solvent, a solvent for organic EL material synthesis, and a cleaning solvent for electronic components in recent years. These applications all have high requirements for the purity of acetonitrile. [0003] The methods for industrial production of acetonitrile include direct synthesis (such as the reaction of acetic acid or propane or ethanol with ammonia) and indirect met...
