Problems solved by technology

[0007] What the present invention is to solve is that when the prior art separates and purifies the stream containing ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, the use of ordinary rectification requires a high reflux ratio and the number of theoretical plates, resulting in large investment and high energy consumption. The technical problem of harsh separation conditions or unsatisfactory separation effect by ordinary azeotropic distillation method provides a new reaction-azeotropic distillation method for separating streams containing ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating glycol and 1,2-butanediol, which mainly solves the problems of high investment and energy consumption due to the fact that a very high reflux ratio and very high number of theoretical plates are required when a common rectification method is employed to separate and purify a material flow containing glycol and 1,2-butanediol, and severe separation conditions or a non-ideal separation effect when a common azeotropic rectification method is employed. The method better solves the problem by employing the technical scheme that the material flow containing glycol and 1,2-butanediol and a reactor enters from the upper part and the lower part of a reaction-azeotrope rectification tower respectively, a generated reaction product forms an azeotrope with glycol at the same time, a tower kettle obtains a material flow containing 1,2-butanediol, and after the azeotrope distilled from the tower top is subjected to condensation phase splitting, a glycol-rich phase at the lower layer is further refined to form a glycol product. The method can be used for industrial production of separating the material flow containing glycol and 1,2-butanediol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reaction-azeotropic distillation method for separating streams containing ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, which can be used to separate and purify ethylene glycol from oxalate hydrogenation liquid phase products, and can also be used for other streams containing ethylene glycol The separation of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol streams can also be used to prepare and separate and purify the entrainer used for separating ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol streams by reactive distillation technology. Background technique [0002] Ethylene glycol is an important basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used for copolymerization with terephthalic acid to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, ethylene glycol can also be used in the production of antifreeze, lubricants, plasticizers, non-ionic surfactants and explosives, etc., and has a wide range of uses. my country is a big consumer of ethylene glycol. ...
