Abstract

The invention provides a separation method and process of removing dimethyl ether impurities in chloromethane by using water as an absorbent, and belongs to the field of gas separation and purification. Based on the chemical theory that hydrogen bonds are formed by polar gas molecules and water, a significant difference of water solubility properties between chloromethane and dimethyl ether is used, water is used as an absorbent or a mixture of water and another material is used as an absorbent to replace traditional concentrated sulfuric acid, and a joint process formed by combining absorption and rectification is used, so as to separate a mixture of chloromethane and dimethyl ether safely and efficiently in low cost. By using the separation method and process, in which water is used as the absorbent, to treat a passivated tail gas produced by a dehydration apparatus, the removal rate of dimethyl ether is greater than 99%, the concentration of purified chloromethane can reach 99 mol%, and the recovery rate of the chloromethane can be kept at about 98%. Furthermore, because a chemical reaction is avoided, separated dimethyl ether from which chloromethane is removed through hydrolysis can be used as a byproduct, thus increasing the economic benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a separation method and process for removing dimethyl ether impurities in methyl chloride by using water (which may be pure water or a mixture of water and other substances) as an absorbent, and belongs to the field of gas separation and purification. Based on the chemical theory that polar gas molecules form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen ions in water, the method takes advantage of the significant difference in the solubility properties of methyl chloride and dimethyl ether in water, and uses water as the absorbent instead of traditional concentrated sulfuric acid, which is safe, efficient and low-cost. A mixture of methyl chloride and dimethyl ether is separated cost-effectively. Background technique [0002] Chloromethane (CH 3 Cl) is very important in the organic synthesis industry, and is widely used as a solvent, refrigerant, and methylating reagent. With the rapid development of organosilicon and special rubber synthesi...
