Problems solved by technology

In the method proposed by the patent CN1216973, a very large amount of stream is passed through a solid catalyst in the form of gas and liquid, but only 0.1%~0.4% of the material is converted, and the water is in a liquid state during the reaction, which is very important for the catalyst. Performance and operating conditions have high requirements, and the reactor structure is complex, which increases the difficulty of the actual operation of the plant

Abstract

The invention discloses a technological method for purifying 1,4-butanediol and co-producing tetrahydrofuran. The technological method comprises the following steps: a raw 1,4-butanediol material flow containing 2-(4-hydroxyl butoxy) tetrahydrofuran enters a 1,4-butanediol refining tower, and a 1,4-butanediol product is produced at the side line of the refining tower; and material flows rich in the 1,4-butanediol at the top and bottom of the refining tower enter a tetrahydrofuran reactor, dehydration cyclization is continuously carried out for producing the tetrahydrofuran through a palladium carried sulfonating ion exchange resin catalyst in the presence of hydrogen; after reaction, a raw tetrahydrofuran material flow enters a gas-liquid separator, a gas phase flow is reused or is discharged, and a liquid phase enters an azeotropic distillation tower; and azeotrope of tetrahydrofuran and water is obtained at the tower top and is separated to obtain the tetrahydrofuran product, liquid at the tower bottom enters a dehydration tower, and a material flow at the tower bottom returns to the tetrahydrofuran reactor. According to the technological method, the tetrahydrofuran with the high selectivity is produced while the 1,4-butanediol product with the high purity is separated out, the seperation problem of the 2-(4'-hydroxyl butoxy) tetrahydrofuran in the 1,4-butanediol product flow is solved, and the production cost is greatly reduced; and the technological method is suitable for industrial application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for refining crude 1,4-butanediol stream and co-producing tetrahydrofuran. Background technique [0002] 1,4-Butanediol is an important basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of tetrahydrofuran, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), γ-butyrolactone and polyurethane (PU). In recent years, due to the rapid growth in demand for thermoplastic elastic fibers and elastomers, the demand for PTMEG (polytetramethylene ether glycol) and PTMG (polytetrahydrofuran ether) as monomers has been strong, making the upstream raw material 1,4-butanedi The demand for alcohol is also growing rapidly, and major 1,4-butanediol producers in the world, such as BASF and DUPON, have expanded their production capacity. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a low-toxic solvent with high polarity, low boiling point and excellent performance. It is widely used as a solvent for surface coatings, anti-corrosion coatings and film coatings....
