Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating propylene glycol methyl ether from water through liquid-liquid extraction-extraction distillation, and a device applicable to the method. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, performing liquid-liquid extraction on an aqueous solution with 7.8mol% of propylene glycol methyl ether by using an extraction agent, namely 2-ethylhexoic acid, when the purity of raffinate water at the bottom of a liquid-liquid extraction tower is up to 99.9mol% or above, conveying the raffinate to an extraction distillation tower, and performing extraction distillation; and adding the extraction agent, namely the 2-ethylhexoic acid into the upper part of an extraction distillation tower, collecting water from the tower top, collecting a mixed liquid of 2-ethylhexoic acid and propylene glycol methyl ether, and conveying the mixed liquid to a distillation tower for separation, wherein a product collected from the top of the distillation tower is propylene glycol methyl ether, the purity of the propylene glycol methyl ether is up to 99.9mol% or above, and the tower bottom extraction agent, namely the 2-ethylhexoic acid can be recycled. The device mainly comprises a liquid-liquid extraction tower (LET), an extraction distillation tower (EDT), a distillation tower (DT), condensers (C1), (C2) and (C3), return tanks (D1) and (D2), reboilers (R1) and (R2), a mixer (Mix) and a diverter (Fs).

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the field of separation and purification in the chemical industry, and specifically relates to a method for separating propylene glycol methyl ether and water through liquid-liquid extraction-extractive distillation. Extraction tower, then adopt extractive rectification tower, rectification tower liquid-liquid extraction-extractive rectification to separate the method of propylene glycol methyl ether and water. 【Background technique】 [0002] Propylene glycol methyl ether (PM) is an important "universal solvent", detergent, emulsifier, and can also undergo esterification with acetic acid to form one of the most commonly used esters with high industrial demand in surface coatings Propylene glycol methyl Ether acetate, water are by-products of this reaction. Therefore, the dehydration of propylene glycol methyl ether is an important and necessary operation in this process. The separation process is the most energy-consuming l...
