Problems solved by technology

However, the heat used in the current dimethyl ether production process comes from the medium-temperature and medium-pressure steam produced by the circulating fluidized bed boiler, which consumes a lot of energy and consumes a large amount. The remaining heat of the steam after use is difficult to be utilized, and the heat loss is high. , causing a waste of energy and increasing the production cost of dimethyl ether

Embodiment 1

[0020] The dimethyl ether production method of the present embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0021] 1) The raw material methanol enters the methanol vapor-liquid separator, and is vaporized into methanol vapor by heating at 260°C. The methanol vapor is further heated to 320°C by the heat exchanger and enters the dimethyl ether reactor. In the presence of a catalyst, methanol dehydration occurs at 380°C Reaction generates crude methyl ether gas;

Abstract

The invention discloses a production method for dimethyl ether, which comprises the following steps: 1) feeding a raw material methanol into a methanol vapor-liquid separator, vaporizing the methanol into methanol vapor by heating, further heating the methanol vapor to 320-325 DEG C by a heat exchanger, feeding the methanol vapor into a dimethyl ether reactor, and in the presence of a catalyst, carrying out a methanol dehydration reaction at a temperature of 380-395 DEG C, so that crude methyl ether gas is generated; and 2) after the crude methyl ether gas obtained in the step 1) is preheated to 119-121 DEG C by a crude methyl ether preheater, feeding the crude methyl ether gas into a distillation system, passing the crude methyl ether gas through a reboiler of the distillation system so as to heat the crude methyl ether gas by using low-pressure vapor, so that a fine dimethyl ether product is produced by distilling. According to the production method, a situation that a dimethyl ether system obtains enough heat, so that the production is running stably is ensured; the stepped utilization of vapor is realized, and the heat of vapor is maximumly utilized, and therefore, a problem that when an original dimethyl ether system uses medium-pressure vapor, a large amount of low-pressure vapor is emptied, so that the wasting of resources is caused, is solved; and the method saves resources, reduces the production cost, and has good economic benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of dimethyl ether production, and in particular relates to a method for producing dimethyl ether. Background technique [0002] Dimethyl ether, abbreviated as DME, is a colorless, oxygen-containing compound with a slight ether fragrance. It has been widely used as an anesthetic, aerosol, refrigerant and various organic synthesis raw materials in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries; it can also be directly Used as engine fuel and domestic fuel. [0003] According to the steps, the production method of dimethyl ether can be divided into one-step synthesis gas method and two-step methanol dehydration method, and the two-step methanol dehydration method is further divided into methanol gas-phase catalytic dehydration method and methanol liquid-phase catalytic dehydration method. Since there are still many risks in the application of one-step synthesis gas to DME in engineering, especially large-scale equ...
