Abstract

The invention relates to a method for refining polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (PODE). The method is mainly used for solving the problem that the property of a PODE product is affected due to the presence of methanol. The problem of the influence of methanol on the separation of the PODE product is well solved by adopting the technical scheme of the method for refining PODE; according to the method, alkane or halogenated alkane having a boiling point of 30-100 DEG C is used as an azeotropic agent to remove methanol in the PODE crude product by virtue of azeotropic distillation; and the method comprises the following steps: adding the azeotropic agent and the crude product into an azeotropic distillation tower, carrying out azeotropic distillation to distill an azeotrope formed by methanol and the azeotropic agent out from the tower top and enabling purified PODE to flow out from the tower bottom; enabling the azeotrope obtained at the tower top to enter a solvent recovery tank and be in contact with water and naturally layering to obtain an oil layer containing the azeotropic agent and a water layer containing methanol. The method can be used in the refining production of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether as a diesel additive.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the method for refining polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether, especially remove polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether dimer (referred to as PODE 2 ) method of methanol in the crude product. Background technique [0002] With the sharp increase of energy consumption in modern society, the increasing shortage of petroleum resources, and the increasing pressure on the environment, it is urgent to develop new clean diesel fuels. The use of oxygen-containing compounds as diesel additives is a convenient and effective measure without adding additional devices or changing the engine structure, and has become a new idea for the development of the petroleum industry. [0003] Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (PODE) is an oxygen-containing compound with the general formula: CH 3 O(CH 2 O) n CH 3 , where n is an integer ≥ 1 (generally the value is less than 10, for PODE with different n, PODE is used below n express). Polyoxymethylene...
