Abstract

Belonging to the technical field of alcohol substance production, the invention discloses a method for production of ethanol by acetic acid hydrogenation so as to solve the defects of ethanol purification processes in the prior art. Through intensive study, the inventor puts forward the process including: conducting hydrogenation on acetic acid directly to obtain a crude ethanol product, then separating unreacted acetic acid, removing ethyl acetate and removing water in order, thus obtaining the ethanol product. The method provided by the invention can effectively produce ethanol from the crude ethanol product produced in the acetic acid hydrogenation process, thus not only lowering the energy consumption of the separation process, but also effectively making up the petroleum energy shortage in China.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ethanol, more specifically, the invention relates to a method for obtaining ethanol product through hydrogenation of acetic acid to ethanol and refining process. Background technique [0002] Ethanol is the earliest and most widely used fatty alcohol, and it is also the main component of wine. Ethanol is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid at room temperature. Ethanol has a wide range of uses. For example, it can be used to produce chemical raw materials such as acetaldehyde, ether, ethyl acetate, ethylamine, ethyl acrylate, ethylene oxide, medicine, and pesticides. It can be mixed into gasoline and diesel oil, and can be mixed with water, Miscible with solvents such as acetic acid, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, ethylene glycol, glycerin, nitromethane, pyridine, and toluene, and can also be used as disinfectants, beverages, thinners, environmental protection paints, pesti...
