AI Technical Summary
In the existing butene oxidative dehydrogenation process, the COD in the wastewater is seriously excessive. The washing in the quenching section and internal circulation section of the acid washing tower causes acid compounds and acetaldehyde to be washed into the wastewater, which increases the cost of wastewater treatment. In addition, the acetaldehyde in the generated gas can easily cause blockage of the pipeline between the generator and compressor sections. When the generated gas at the top of the quenching tower needs to be compressed before entering the acetaldehyde washing tower, the acetaldehyde content is high, which affects the economic benefits and stable operation of the unit.
A combined system of quench washing tower and stripping tower is adopted. Most of the wastewater in the bottom of the quench washing tower is returned to the quench section for further treatment, while a small portion enters the stripping tower for further stripping. Combined with alkali neutralization, this reduces wastewater discharge and acetaldehyde accumulation, thereby lowering energy consumption.
It effectively reduces COD in wastewater, prevents acetaldehyde accumulation in the generator gas compressor system, reduces equipment costs and energy consumption, simplifies the process flow, and improves the economic efficiency and stability of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of butene oxidative dehydrogenation to butadiene production technology, and in particular relates to a system for removing oxygen-containing compounds from the gas generated in the butene oxidative dehydrogenation to butadiene production reaction. Background Technology
[0002] Butadiene is a core raw material for chemical products such as synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, nylon 66, adiponitrile, and 1,4-butanediol. The butene oxidative dehydrogenation process is one of the mainstream production routes due to its high conversion rate and selectivity. However, this process has significant drawbacks: the content of oxygen-containing organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones (e.g., acetaldehyde, acetic acid) generated by side reactions is high, resulting in large volumes of wastewater that are difficult to treat.
[0003] The main reaction of butene oxidative dehydrogenation is the reaction of butene with oxygen to produce butadiene and water. Side reactions include deep oxidation to produce CO2 and CO, and oxidative degradation to produce oxygen-containing organic compounds such as acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ketones, and alcohols. To separate oxygen-containing impurities from C4 hydrocarbons, industrial processes commonly employ water washing. However, the introduction of large amounts of washing water leads to a surge in the total wastewater volume within the system, requiring subsequent high-cost biological treatment.
[0004] The current mainstream industrial process employs a dual-tower purification system of "quench cooling and acid washing + aldehyde washing." The specific process is as follows: After waste heat recovery, the reaction products separate into gas and liquid phases. The gas phase enters the quench tower, where it is cooled stage by staged circulating water and neutralized with alkali solution to remove acetic acid. The liquid phase, after waste heat recovery, mixes with the bottom water; part of it is recycled back to the quench tower for reuse, while the remainder is directly sent for biochemical treatment. The gas from the top of the quench tower is pressurized by a compressor and enters the bottom of the aldehyde washing tower, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the washing water injected from the top, efficiently removing acetaldehyde and other light oxygen-containing compounds. The purified gas enters the downstream oil absorption unit to purify butadiene products, while the aldehyde-containing wastewater from the bottom of the tower is sent to a stripping tower, where acetaldehyde is separated by steam heating and stripping. The bottom water of the stripping tower is cooled and reused at the top of the aldehyde washing tower, forming a local water circulation to reduce fresh water consumption. Despite this, the system still suffers from low wastewater circulation efficiency and the risk of residual oxygen-containing organic matter, necessitating the development of new water treatment technologies or process optimization schemes to improve environmental friendliness and economic efficiency.
[0005] Patent CN103965005B discloses a deacidification process for butene oxidative dehydrogenation product gas: a split-type water-cooled tower is used, with a water-cooled section at the bottom and a saturated section at the top. The butene oxidative dehydrogenation product gas enters from the bottom of the water-cooled section and comes into countercurrent contact with the washing water injected at the top of the tower, removing organic acids and some aldehyde oxygen-containing compounds. Subsequently, the water effluent from the water-cooled section is introduced into the saturated section, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the raw material air to strip acetic acid and acetaldehyde. The stripped air is then returned to the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor as raw material. The gas at the top of the tower is compressed and then transported to the aldehyde washing tower, where residual aldehydes are further removed by washing water. This process has two major flaws: First, oxygen-containing compounds (such as acetic acid and acetaldehyde) are recycled back to the reactor with the stripping air, which easily leads to an enrichment effect in the system, inducing more side reactions, aggravating catalyst carbon buildup and deactivation, and significantly reducing service life; Second, the water cooling system does not introduce alkaline solution to neutralize acidic substances, resulting in acidic wastewater. This requires the use of stainless steel for pipes, valves, instruments and equipment that come into contact with wastewater, which significantly increases the investment cost of the equipment.
[0006] Patent CN213357400 U discloses an oxide removal device for the production of crude butadiene from butene oxidative dehydrogenation. The gas generated from the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, after heat recovery and quenching in an acid washing tower, is cooled by a gas compressor and cooler before directly entering an oil absorption and desorption unit. The C4 component separated in the oil absorption and desorption unit enters an extraction tower from the bottom; acetaldehyde and other oxides are removed by circulating water as the extractant. This process, involving oil washing followed by water washing for aldehyde removal, exacerbates oxide contamination of the solvent oil, requiring more frequent solvent oil regeneration. Furthermore, some oxygen-containing compounds, such as acetaldehyde, are readily soluble in C6 oil and have low boiling points, but during regeneration, improper temperature control may lead to condensation reactions (such as the formation of metaldehyde), resulting in more difficult-to-volatile products. Additionally, the presence of the aldehyde washing tower increases the complexity of the device and water consumption.
[0007] CN117732189A, CN104098212A, and CN104418693B all disclose energy-saving methods for butadiene production from butene oxidative dehydrogenation product gas, and also describe the mainstream process of butene oxidative dehydrogenation.
[0008] The main problems currently existing in the operation of the production facilities are:
[0009] (1) Due to the rinsing of the quenching section and the internal circulation section in the acid washing tower, acid compounds and most of the acetaldehyde are washed into the wastewater. The wastewater in the acid washing tower is directly discharged into the downstream system, resulting in the COD of the discharged wastewater seriously exceeding the standard, which increases the cost of downstream sewage treatment.
[0010] (2) In the conventional process, the generated gas from the top of the quench tower is compressed and then enters the aldehyde washing tower to remove acetaldehyde. However, the generated gas from the top of the acid washing tower has a high acetaldehyde content. During the process of entering the aldehyde washing tower, it is easy to cause blockage of the pipeline between the raw press sections due to acetaldehyde condensation, which affects the long-term stable operation of the raw press.
[0011] (3) In actual operation, fresh water can be used in the quench tower to reduce the oxygen-containing compounds in the generated gas. Although different methods are adopted in various patents, the use of fresh water cannot be eliminated.
[0012] (4) The increased washing water volume of the quenching acid washing tower not only requires a large amount of fresh water, but also causes the amount of wastewater discharged from the tower bottom to increase several times, and the wastewater treatment cost increases accordingly, which seriously affects the overall economic benefits of the butene oxidation dehydrogenation unit.
[0013] (5) In actual operation, the operating pressure of the stripping tower is relatively high, the reboiler of the stripping tower consumes a lot of steam and has high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0067] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0068] 1) In this utility model, the bottom wastewater of the quenching and washing tower is sent to the stripping tower for treatment, avoiding direct discharge of the bottom wastewater of the quenching and washing tower, reducing the amount of wastewater discharged and avoiding COD exceeding the standard in the discharged wastewater.
[0069] 2) In this utility model, the formaldehyde washing tower is reduced, and the acid washing and formaldehyde washing are completed simultaneously in a quenching washing tower. This avoids the acetaldehyde-containing generated gas coming out of the top of the quenching washing tower from the acetaldehyde condensation in the generated gas compressor system, which would cause blockage of the inter-section pipeline, thereby reducing equipment costs and lowering investment expenses.
[0070] 3) In this utility model, a portion of the stripping purified water at the bottom of the stripping tower is recycled back to the quenching and stripping tower as washing water, which can significantly reduce the amount of fresh water used, reduce wastewater output and stripping energy consumption.
[0071] 4) For existing industrially operating equipment, the oxygen-containing compound removal system of this invention can be used without large-scale modification, additional investment, or energy consumption.
[0072] 5) The single-stage enhanced circulation elution method is adopted in the elution section of the quenching elution tower, which can increase the circulating water volume in the elution section to elute oxides in the generated gas. Compared with the multi-stage enhanced circulation elution in existing industrial technologies, the process is simpler and consumes less energy.
[0073] 6) A branch line for washing wastewater is also provided at the position of the high concentration of acetaldehyde-rich liquid in the washing section of the quenching and washing tower. The high concentration of acetaldehyde-rich liquid is sent into the stripping tower for stripping, which solves the problem of acetaldehyde accumulation inside the quenching and washing tower, enhances the acetaldehyde washing effect, reduces the overall washing water load of the quenching and washing tower, and reduces the energy consumption of the stripping tower.
[0074] 7) Add alkaline solution to the elution section of the quenching and elution tower to accelerate the removal of acidic substances from the generated gas.
[0075] 8) The top of the quenching and washing tower is supplemented with industrial circulating water and wastewater treated and recycled water, preferably wastewater treated and recycled water.
[0076] 9) The top of the stripping tower adopts a liquid phase total reflux form. The gas phase at the top of the stripping tower gas-liquid separator is sent to the downstream incineration system for treatment, and the liquid phase at the bottom of the stripping tower gas-liquid separator is all returned to the top of the stripping tower. This avoids the existing industrial units from discharging the liquid phase wastewater at the bottom of the stripping tower gas-liquid separator, which would cause the wastewater COD to exceed the standard and affect subsequent treatment.
[0077] 10) The stripping tower adopts low-pressure operation, with an operating pressure of 0~0.2MPag, preferably 0.03~0.1MPag. The low operating pressure greatly reduces the steam consumption of the stripping tower reboiler and minimizes the energy consumption of the unit. Attached Figure Description

The product gas 16 at the top of the quenching and washing tower T1, after being washed and having oxygen-containing compounds removed, enters the downstream product gas compression system. The wastewater 3 from the bottom of the gas-liquid separator V1 is mixed with the wastewater outlet 4 from the bottom of the quenching and washing tower T1. After being pressurized by the bottom pump P2 of the quenching and washing tower, most of the bottom wastewater is cooled by the lower cooler E2 of the quenching and washing tower from the main wastewater line 5. This mixture then mixes with the enhanced washing circulating water from the enhanced washing circulating water line 7 of the washing section of the quenching and washing tower T1, which is pressurized by the enhanced washing circulating pump P1, and is distributed to the upper part of the quenching section of the quenching and washing tower T1. A small portion of the bottom wastewater is sent to the stripping tower T2 after heat exchange with the stripping purified water from the bottom wastewater branch line 17 via the primary heat exchanger E3. The enhanced washing circulating water from the enhanced washing circulating water line 7 is pressurized by the enhanced washing circulating pump P1 and then branched into the upper branch line 8. This mixture is then mixed with the alkali solution in the alkali solution inlet pipe 9 to perform enhanced washing of oxygen-containing compounds in the generated gas within the tower. Reclaimed water 12 is transported by reclaimed water buffer tank V2, then by reclaimed water transfer pump P4 and cooled by upper cooler E1 of quench stripping tower before being sent to the top of the stripping section of quench stripping tower T1. Stripped purified water after stripping in stripping tower T2 is pressurized by bottom pump P3 in purified water circulation loop 24 and then undergoes a heat exchange with the bottom wastewater from quench stripping tower T1 via primary heat exchanger E3. After being cooled by stripped purified water cooler E4, it is divided into two parts. One part is returned to the upper section of quench stripping tower T1 and mixed with enhanced stripping circulation water from upper branch 8 and alkali solution from alkali solution inlet pipe 9 before being sent into quench stripping tower T1.

Most of the bottom wastewater is cooled by the lower cooler E2 of the quenching and washing tower from the main wastewater line 5. It is then mixed with the enhanced washing circulating water from the lower branch line 10 of the enhanced washing circulating water line 7 of the washing section of the quenching and washing tower T1 after being pressurized by the enhanced washing circulating pump P1. The mixture then returns to the upper part of the quenching section of the quenching and washing tower T1. A small portion of the bottom wastewater is sent to the stripping tower T2 after exchanging heat with the stripping purified water from the bottom wastewater branch line 17 and the primary heat exchanger E3. The stripping section of the quenching and washing tower T1 takes enhanced washing circulating water from the enhanced washing circulating water line 7. After being pressurized by the enhanced washing circulating pump P1, the water is mixed with the alkali inlet pipe 9 in the upper branch line 8 and then used for enhanced washing of oxygen-containing compounds in the generated gas. Reclaimed water 12, after passing through reclaimed water buffer tank V2, is pumped by reclaimed water transfer pump P4 and mixed with stripped purified water 26. It is then cooled by the upper cooler E1 of the quench stripping tower and sent to the top of the stripping section of quench stripping tower T1. Stripped purified water from stripping tower T2 is pressurized by the bottom pump P3 in the purified water circulation loop 24 and undergoes a heat exchange with the bottom wastewater from quench stripping tower T1 in the primary heat exchanger E3. After cooling by stripped purified water cooler E4, it is divided into two parts. One part 11 returns to the upper section of quench stripping tower T1 and is sent into quench stripping tower T1. The other part 26, mixed with reclaimed water 14, is cooled by the upper cooler E1 and enters the top of the stripping section of quench stripping tower T1. The remaining portion of stripped purified water cooled by stripped purified water cooler E4 is discharged from stripped purified water discharge branch 25 to the downstream biochemical treatment unit. Wastewater in stripper T2 is stripped by heating in the stripper reboiler E5. The oxygen-containing gas phase 19 collected from the top of stripper T2 is cooled by the stripper top cooler E6 and then enters the stripper top gas-liquid separator V3. The gas phase 21 at the top of the stripper top gas-liquid separator V3 goes to the downstream incineration system, and the liquid phase 22 at the bottom is pressurized by the stripper top reflux pump P5 and then returned to the upper part of stripper T2.
[0085] Option 3:
[0086] like Figure 3As shown, the product gas 1 from the butene oxidative dehydrogenation reaction is cooled and then enters the product gas-liquid separator V1. The top gas 2 is sent to the quench section of the quench stripper T1 to contact the washing water inside the tower to remove acids and oxygen-containing compounds such as acetaldehyde. The product gas 16 from the top of the quench stripper T1, after being washed to remove oxygen-containing compounds, enters the downstream product gas compression system. The bottom wastewater 3 of the product gas-liquid separator V1 is mixed with the bottom wastewater outlet pipe 4 of the quench stripper and then pressurized by the bottom pump P2 of the quench acid washing tower. Most of the bottom wastewater is cooled by the lower cooler E2 of the quench stripper from the main bottom wastewater line 5 and then returned to the upper part of the quench section of the quench stripper T1.

The stripped purified water after stripping in stripping tower T2 is pressurized by the bottom pump P3 in the stripping purified water circulation loop 24 and then mixed with the bottom wastewater 17 from the quench washing tower T1 in the primary heat exchanger E3. The purified water is then divided into two parts. One part, stripped purified water 29, is mixed with the acetaldehyde-rich high-concentration liquid 27 extracted from the quenching section of the quenching washing tower T1 in the secondary heat exchanger E7. This mixture is then further divided into two parts: one part (8) is mixed with the alkali solution in the alkali inlet pipe 9 and sent to the quenching section of the quenching washing tower T1; the other part (10) is mixed with recycled water 16 and cooled by the upper cooler E1 before being sent to the top of the quenching washing tower T1.

[0099] Table 1 Comparison of results from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 2
[0100]
[0101] In summary, this invention, by feeding the wastewater from the bottom of the quenching and washing tower T1 into the stripping tower T2 for treatment, results in a significantly lower COD value compared to the wastewater discharged in the comparative example, thus solving the problem of excessive COD in wastewater. Simultaneously, this invention reduces the use of the aldehyde washing tower, avoiding the problem of acetaldehyde agglomeration in the compressor system caused by the high acetaldehyde concentration in the generated gas from the top of the quenching tower, which could lead to blockage of the inter-stage pipelines. Furthermore, the acetaldehyde concentration in the washed generated gas is not significantly higher than in the comparative example, simplifying the process and reducing equipment costs. The lower operating pressure also significantly reduces steam consumption compared to the comparative example, greatly reducing steam consumption in the stripping tower reboiler and lowering stripping energy consumption. Moreover, by feeding a portion of the stripping purified water from the bottom of the stripping tower T1 into the washing section of the quenching and washing tower T1 as washing water, the amount of fresh water used is significantly reduced, wastewater output is decreased, and investment costs are lowered.
