Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recovering ethanol and co-producing ethylene glycol. A purpose of the invention is mainly to solve the problems of difficult ethanol separation and recovery, difficult 1,4-dioxane wastewater treatment and high separation energy consumption in the prior art. According to the technical scheme, a mixed solution stream containing water, ethanol and 1,4-dioxane andan ethylene oxide stream containing ethylene oxide are fed into a reactor, contact under the conditions suitable for a reaction of ethylene oxide and water, and are subjected to a reaction to obtaina crude product stream containing ethylene glycol, ethanol and 1,4-dioxane; the crude product stream is fed into a first separation tower and is separated to obtain a crude ethanol stream containing ethanol and 1,4-dioxane and an ethylene glycol stream; and the crude ethanol stream containing ethanol and 1,4-dioxane is fed into a second separation tower to obtain an ethanol stream and a 1,4-dioxane stream. With the technical scheme of the invention, the problems in the prior art are well solved. The method of the invention can be applied to ethanol recovery process production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for ethanol recovery and co-production of ethylene glycol, specifically, a process for recovering ethanol from a 1,4-dioxane solvent. Background technique [0002] Ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, molecular formula C 2 h 6 O, according to GB / T394.1-2008 industrial alcohol national standard, excellent grade ≥ 96% vol, first grade ≥ 95% vol; according to GB / T678-2002 absolute ethanol national standard, chemical purity ≥ 99.5wt%, water content ≤ 0.5 %wt; analytical purity ≥99.7%wt, water content ≤0.3%wt; superior grade ≥99.8%wt, water content ≤0.2%wt; ethanol has a wide range of uses, ethanol can be used to manufacture acetic acid, beverages, flavors, dyes, fuels Wait. Ethanol with a volume fraction of 70% to 75% is also commonly used as a disinfectant in medical treatment, and it is widely used in national defense chemical industry, medical and health care, food industry, and industrial and agricultural production....
