Abstract

The invention provides an energy-saving process for separating methanol, isopropanol and water through heat pump extraction and rectification. In the method for heat pump extraction and rectification separation of methanol-isopropanol-water mixture, a heat pump compressor is used to pressurize the steam at the top of the dehydration tower as a heat source at the bottom of the dehydration tower, and simultaneously complete the dehydration tower top steam itself Condensation; use the hot stream of extractant recovered from the bottom of the dehydration tower as the heat source for the intermediate reboiler of the demethanol tower. The present invention appropriately increases the temperature and pressure of the steam at the top of the dehydration tower through the heat pump compressor, which is used as a heat source to heat the kettle liquid, thereby realizing reasonable and effective energy circulation; the cost of the heat pump compressor of the present invention is lower than that of traditional external heat supply And the cost of cooling water, resulting in good economic benefits.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the field of separation and purification in the chemical industry, and specifically relates to a process for separating methanol-isopropanol-water by heat pump extraction and rectification. In the above method, heat pump technology is adopted to realize the recycling of heat energy. 【Background technique】 [0002] Both methanol and isopropanol are important organic chemical raw materials and solvents. Methanol is mainly used to make medicine, pesticide, formaldehyde, plexiglass, etc. It is also a solvent for paint dyes, nitrocellulose, etc. Isopropanol can be used to produce acetone, hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc., as well as raw materials for medicines and pesticides, as well as solvents in the production of coatings, inks, extractants, aerosols, etc. In the production of pharmaceutical factories, a large amount of methanol-isopropanol-water mixture will be produced, and the separation of methanol-isopropan...
