Embodiment 1

[0028] The specific steps of the by-product recovery process of synthesis gas to ethylene glycol in this embodiment are:

[0029] In the first step, the mass percent of ethylene glycol in the crude product 1 of ethylene glycol produced from syngas is 45%, the mass percent of methanol is 51%, the mass percent of ethanol is 0.5%, the mass percent of water is 1%, ethanol Acetate methyl ester 0.5%, impurity 2%, this ethylene glycol crude product 1 enters the middle part of 1# methanol recovery tower 11, 1# methanol recovery tower 11 top is condensed and produced a small amount of non-condensable gas 3, recovers in 1# methanol The by-product methanol 2 is recovered from the side line of the tower 11, and the by-product methanol with a purity greater than or equal to 99.5% is recovered in this step (the purity refers to the mass fraction of methanol in the recovered methanol solution), and the recovered by-product methanol can be used as a raw material for the preparation of the synt...

Embodiment 2

[0041] The recovery process of the present embodiment is the same as that of the embodiment 1, and the content of each component of the ethylene glycol crude product 1 is the same as that of the embodiment 1, except that the concrete parameters of each tower are different in the present embodiment.

[0042] In this embodiment, the diameter of 1# methanol recovery tower 11 is 60 mm, with a total of 40 theoretical plates, operated under reduced pressure, the liquid feed position is at the 23rd theoretical plate, the reflux ratio R=2, the liquid feed temperature is 65° C. The temperature is 50°C, the temperature of the tower kettle is 67.8°C, and the reflux temperature is 59.5°C. The recovery rate of the by-product methanol extracted from the 1# methanol recovery tower 11 is: the quality of methanol recovered by the 1# methanol recovery tower / the quality of methanol in the crude ethylene glycol product=39%.

[0043] The diameter of the degreasing tower 12 is 250 mm, and there are...

Embodiment 3

[0049] The recovery process of this embodiment is the same as that of Example 1, except that the specific parameters of each tower in this embodiment are different, and the content of each main component of the ethylene glycol crude product 1 is that the mass percent of ethylene glycol is 56 %, the mass percentage of methanol is 40%, the mass percentage of ethanol is 0.5%, the mass percentage of water is 1%, methyl glycolate is 0.5%, and impurities are 2%.

[0050]In this embodiment, the diameter of 1# methanol recovery tower 11 is 80mm, with 40 theoretical plates in total, operated under normal pressure, the liquid feed position is at the 25th theoretical plate, the reflux ratio R=2, the liquid feed temperature is 65°C, and the tower top The temperature is 56°C, the temperature of the tower kettle is 90°C, and the reflux temperature is 60°C. The recovery rate of the by-product methanol extracted from the 1# methanol recovery tower 11 is: the mass of methanol recovered by the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a technology for recovery of by-products generated during preparation of ethanediol from synthesis gas. According to the recovery technology, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and methyl glycolate are recovered by means of a 1# methyl alcohol recovery column, a de-esterification column, a 2# methyl alcohol recovery column, a membrane recovery component and an ester recovery column, and a 1,2-butanediol and ethanediol azeotrope is obtained at the top of a product column to serve as an antifreezing agent raw material. By the adoption of the recovery technology, recovery of by-products can be achieved, raw material cost is reduced remarkably, economical benefits are increased, sewage discharge is reduced, and environment protection is facilitated. Furthermore, processing equipment is simple in structure and convenient to install, energy consumption is low, and economic benefits are high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of coal chemical industry, and in particular relates to a by-product recovery process for producing ethylene glycol from synthesis gas. Background technique [0002] Methanol, ethanol, 1,2-butanediol and some esters are produced in the coal-to-ethylene glycol process in the prior art, and the recovery of these by-products is not seen in the existing coal-to-ethylene glycol process route According to the report, a great waste of raw materials has been caused. Therefore, the present invention mainly studies the by-product recovery process of syngas to ethylene glycol. [0003] Patent CN101928201A discloses a purification process for the crude product of coal-based ethylene glycol. The purification process is purified from the crude product of coal-based ethylene glycol through saponification reaction, demethanol removal, hydrogenation reaction, three-tower rectification and adsorption treatment. Produce high-quality e...
