Abstract

The present invention is a method for separating ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol through extraction and rectification. Position feeding, while the extractant is fed in the upper part of the extractive distillation tower, in the extractive distillation tower, 1,2-butanediol is extracted from the top of the tower, and ethylene glycol and extractant are extracted from the bottom of the tower and then enter the extraction Extractant recovery tower; in the extractant recovery tower, the ethylene glycol product is extracted from the top of the tower, and the extractant is extracted from the tower kettle to exchange heat with the raw material through a heat exchanger, and then return to the upper part of the extractive distillation tower after passing through the cooler The feed port is recycled, and at the same time, the extractant lost from the top of the two rectification towers is replenished at the upper feed port of the extractive distillation tower; the extractive distillation tower and the extractant recovery tower are both operated under negative pressure, and the top of the tower The pressure is below 10kPa. The method separates the system by using a liquid-phase high-boiling point extractant to obtain 1,2-butanediol products and ethylene glycol products with a molar fraction of 99.9%. The process is simple, the equipment investment is low, the energy consumption is low, and the separation effect is good. .

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of separation of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol, and relates to a method for extracting and rectifying separation of ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol. Background technique [0002] In the process of coal to ethylene glycol and biomass to ethylene glycol, by-products will be produced. In order to ensure the indicators of ethylene glycol products, by-product streams containing ethylene glycol will be produced during the separation and purification process. Contains products such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and butanediol. In these products, ethylene glycol and 1,2-butanediol have an azeotropic point, which causes 1,2-butanediol in the raw material to form an azeotrope with ethylene glycol and evaporate from the top of the tower, resulting in the collection of ethylene glycol. rate drops. Therefore, how to efficiently and energy-savingly separate 1,2-butanediol from ethylene glycol products is ...
