Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, and is used for mainly solving the problem of high separation energy consumption in the prior art. The problem is better solved by adopting the technical scheme that the method includes the following steps: a) coarse ethylene glycol enters a product tower, an azeotrope of 1,2-butanediol and ethylene glycol is obtained at the tower top, and ethylene glycol is obtained at a tower kettle; b) the azeotrope of 1,2-butanediol and ethylene glycol enters an azeotropic rectification tower, an azeotropic agent is added from the tower top of the azeotropic rectification tower, an azeotrope of ethylene glycol and the azeotropic agent is obtained at the tower top, and the 1,2-butanediol product is obtained in the tower kettle; c) the azeotrope of ethylene glycol and the azeotropic agent is condensed, then enters a phase splitter, and is divided into an upper-layer material flow rich in the azeotropic agent and a lower-layer material flow rich in ethylene glycol; the upper-layer material flow returns to the tower top of the azeotropic rectification tower; and d) the lower-layer material flow enters an azeotropic agent recovery tower, a tower top material flow is circulated to the azeotropic rectification tower, and a tower kettle material flow is circulated to a product tower. The method can be used in industrial production of separation of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol. Background technique [0002] As an important organic chemical raw material, ethylene glycol (EG) is widely used in the production of polyester fiber, antifreeze, lubricant and other industries. There are a variety of process routes for the synthesis of ethylene glycol, and the current industrial route is mainly petroleum ethylene. With the increasing scarcity of petroleum resources, the development of the process route of producing ethylene glycol from coal-based syngas has been paid more and more attention. The quality of ethylene glycol products needs to be separated in the subsequent purification process, especially the boiling point of 1,2-butanediol is similar to that of ethylene glycol, so the separation is difficult. [0003] In the hydrogenation reaction of dimethyl oxalate, when the hydrogenation catalyst contains acidic or basic groups, there are four main...
