Embodiment 1

[0018] The crude ethylene from the ethylene drying system enters the ethylene rectification tower for separation, the ethylene containing light components is separated at the top of the tower, and the heavy components are separated at the bottom of the tower. The flow rate of each component of crude ethylene is: hydrogen 0.070 kg / h, methane 0.070 kg / h, carbon monoxide 0.557 kg / h, ethylene 1,274.518 kg / h, ethane 7.060 kg / h, propane 1.555 kg / h, acetaldehyde 0.113 kg / h Hour, ether 5.631 kg / h, heavy component 33.957 kg / h. The reorganization of the ethylene rectification tower bottom is 83.977 kg / h, of which ethylene is 18.618 kg / h. The vapor phase at the top of the ethylene rectification tower enters the bottom of the light-removing tower with a flow rate of 5060.536 kg / h. The top temperature of the ethylene rectification tower is -24.8°C, the pressure is 2.15MPaG, the bottom temperature is 9.5°C, the number of theoretical plates in the whole tower is 80, and the feed position is ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a separation refining method for ethylene preparation through ethanol dehydration, and mainly solves the problems of separation of products in ethylene preparation through ethanol dehydration, especially low ethylene yield and high energy consumption which exist in former literatures. A mixture containing ethylene, ethane and C3 and C3+ hydrocarbons and light components go into an ethylene rectification tower, light component-containing ethylene is separated out at the tower top, the gas phase goes into a light component-removing tower, and a heavy component rich in ethylene is discharged from a tower kettle; after the light component-containing gas-phase ethylene is rectified by the light component-removing tower, a tower top gas phase is congealed to separate out gas-phase light components, the congealed liquid is used as a reflux and returns to the light component-removing tower, a bottom liquid phase in the light component-removing tower is partially used as a reflux and sent to the top of the ethylene rectification tower through compression by a pump, and the rest is an ethylene product; the heavy component rich in ethylene goes into the top of a heavy component steam stripping distillation tower, a tower top gas phase of the steam stripping distillation tower returns to the middle-lower part of the ethylene rectification tower, and a heavy component containing a little ethylene is obtained at the tower bottom. With adopting of the above technical scheme, the problems in the prior art are relatively well solved, and the separation refining method can be used for industrial production of ethylene preparation through ethanol dehydration.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a separation and refining method for preparing ethylene by ethanol dehydration. Background technique [0002] Ethylene is an important bulk organic chemical raw material, mainly used to produce polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene oxide / ethylene glycol, ethylbenzene / styrene, vinyl acetate and other organic chemical products. At present, domestic and foreign ethylene production methods mainly adopt the catalytic cracking method of petroleum raw materials. In recent years, new breakthroughs have been made in the production of ethylene from non-petroleum raw materials, especially the technology of ethanol dehydration to produce ethylene. The technology uses ethanol from agricultural and sideline products as raw materials, which can avoid dependence on petroleum resources. For countries and regions that are poor in oil and dominated by agriculture, the raw materials for ethanol production are easily available and guaranteed, whi...
