Problems solved by technology

The existence of light components such as acetaldehyde will affect the pressure of each distillation tower, and pressure fluctuations will affect the separation effect of the distillation tower, and acetaldehyde is easy to polymerize to form heavy components, thus affecting the quality of ethanol products
Moreover, the unreacted acetic acid is separated by rectification. This separation method will undoubtedly separate a large amount of ethanol and water from the top of the rectification tower, which requires a large amount of steam consumption. Generally speaking, this process needs to consume 1 of the entire process. / 2~1 / 3 steam consumption

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing ethanol by acetic acid hydrogenation and belongs to the technical field of alcohol substance production. The method overcomes defects of the existing ethanol purification process and improves ethanol product quality. Through deep and careful research, the inventor provides the method comprising that acetic acid undergoes a direct hydrogenation reaction to produce a crude ethanol product and the crude ethanol product is orderly subjected to ketone removal, ethyl acetate separation and degreasing and dehydration processes capable of removing acetic acid so that an ethanol product is obtained. The method effectively separate ketones and acetaldehyde produced by acetic acid hydrogenation, is conducive to improvement of distillation column separating effects, effectively reduces impurities in a product and improves final ethanol product quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing ethanol, more specifically, the present 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, Acetic acid, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, ethylene glycol, glycerin, nitromethane, pyridine and toluene are miscible in solvents such as disinfectants, beverages, thinners, environmental protection paints, pesticides, medicines...
