Abstract

Belonging to the field of production technologies for alcohol substances, the invention discloses a method for production of ethanol by direct hydrogenation of acetic acid. In order to solve the defects of an ethanol purification process in the prior art, improve the ethanol product quality and reduce energy consumption, the inventor specifically puts forward a technological process through in-depth and meticulous research. The process includes: subjecting acetic acid to direct hydrogenation to obtain a crude ethanol product, then removing ketone components, separating unreacted acetic acid and ethyl acetate, and removing water in order, thus obtaining the ethanol product. The method provided by the invention can effectively separate ketone, acetaldehyde and other substances generated in the hydrogenation process, thus facilitating improving the separation effect of a distillation tower and effectively reducing impurities in the product. Therefore, the quality of the final ethanol product can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ethanol, more specifically, the invention relates to a method for directly hydrogenating acetic acid into ethanol and obtaining ethanol product through a 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 pai...
