Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of renewable energy, in particular to a waste oil chemical pretreatment system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Developing biodiesel production projects not only meets the demand of the country to develop clean energy, but also meets the current national goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutral". According to industry test data, 2.0-2.5 tons of carbon emissions can be reduced per ton of biodiesel used in the whole cycle. According to the Dutch Double Counting certification of the largest global biomass energy consumption area, the European Union, compared with biodiesel produced from palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and other plant oils, biodiesel produced from waste oil, hogwash oil, acidified oil and other waste oils has higher carbon emission reduction properties and should be vigorously promoted. Waste oil is a widely available byproduct of edible oil processing, and compared with animal and plant oils and microbial oils, it is relatively inexpensive to use as a raw material for the production of second-generation biodiesel by hydrogenation and deoxidation.

[0003] However, waste oil has high fatty acid content and high acid value, and the hydrogenation and deoxidation reaction is carried out at high temperature and generates a large amount of water, which seriously affects the stability of the hydrogenation catalyst and causes the catalyst bed to be easily powdered and deactivated. In addition, waste oil also contains a large amount of metal, phospholipid, unsaponifiable matter and other impurities, which will also affect the stability of the hydrogenation catalyst on the surface of the hydrogenation catalyst. Therefore, when waste oil is used as a raw material to produce second-generation biodiesel, the device needs to be frequently shut down and the catalyst needs to be replaced, which cannot be operated stably for a long period of time, and the operating cost is high. In the current hydrogenation and deoxidation method for preparing second-generation biodiesel, conventional water method, acid washing, alkali washing, adsorption and other physical methods are usually used to pretreat waste oil. Although a part of the impurities can be removed, the overall efficiency is low, and the conventional physical pretreatment method cannot fundamentally solve the problem of high acid value of waste oil. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problem that the conventional water method, acid washing, alkali washing, adsorption and other physical methods used in the prior art have low impurity removal efficiency and cannot effectively reduce the acid value of waste oil, the present application provides a chemical pretreatment system that can effectively reduce the acid value of waste oil and remove impurities therein.

The heated oil phase product is introduced into the first gas-liquid separator 512 for further gas-liquid separation. The first gas-liquid separator 512 is used to separate the heated oil phase product into gas and liquid. Specifically, the oil phase product is heated to separate methanol and water from the oil phase product by using the difference in boiling points of water, methanol and fatty acid methyl ester. The remaining crude product containing fatty acid methyl ester and unreacted raw oil is discharged from the first gas-liquid separator 512 and introduced into a storage device for subsequent reaction. The first evaporation device 51 is connected to a steam heating pipeline, which is also connected to the first esterification reactor 21. Steam with a high temperature is introduced into the steam heating pipeline to transfer heat to the oil phase product in the first evaporation device 51 to promote the heating of the oil phase product. The cooled steam is then introduced into the first esterification reactor 21 to control the reaction temperature in the first esterification reactor 21.

The second gas-liquid separator 522 is used for separating the heated water phase product into gas and liquid. Specifically, the ion liquid, methanol and water are separated by flash evaporation by using the boiling point difference between the ion liquid and methanol and water, and methanol and water are obtained by evaporation, so as to separate the methanol, water and ion liquid; the separated methanol and water are discharged from the second evaporation device 52 for further separation. In order to reuse the separated ion liquid catalyst, reduce the consumption of catalyst of the waste oil chemical pretreatment system, and reduce the pretreatment cost, the second gas-liquid separator 522 is in communication with the catalyst preparation device 1. After the separated ion liquid catalyst is discharged from the second gas-liquid separator 522, it can be introduced into the catalyst preparation device 1 for preparation of the catalyst solution, thereby reducing the cost of the system. Among the separated ion liquid catalyst, there are some deactivated ion liquids. In order to reduce the influence of the deactivated ion liquid catalyst on the subsequent reaction, the second gas-liquid separator 522 is further provided with a separation device for separating the deactivated ion liquid catalyst and the recyclable ion liquid, and discharging the deactivated ion liquid from the second gas-liquid separator 522 for recycling and collection.

By using steam to heat the water phase product, the cooled steam after heating is then introduced into the first esterification reactor 21 for controlling the reaction pressure in the first esterification reactor 21.

In order to better promote the reaction of the raw oil and improve the recycling rate of the system, the outlet of the methanol separation device 7 is communicated with the reflux device 8, and the separated methanol with a purity of more than 99% is introduced into the reflux device 8. The reflux device 8 is communicated with the first esterification reactor 21, and the reflux device 8 can re-introduce the methanol with a purity of more than 99% into the first esterification reactor 21 for continuous reaction with the raw oil to generate fatty acid methyl ester and water, thereby achieving the effect of recycling of methanol. The waste water after distillation is discharged from the bottom of the methanol separation device 7 and introduced into the waste water storage device.

[0037] In specific use, methanol and ionic liquid catalyst are introduced into the catalyst configuration device 1 at the same time.
