Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of natural gas chemical industry, energy utilization and waste heat recovery, and in particular to a device for preparing acetylene by partial oxidation of natural gas and an energy-saving method. Background Art

[0002] Acetylene is a very important organic chemical raw material, widely used in metal processing and the preparation of chemical products such as ethylene and vinyl chloride. The partial oxidation of natural gas to produce acetylene is one of the main methods for preparing acetylene at present, and it is also a clean acetylene production technology suitable for my country's national conditions. In this process, the preheated natural gas and oxygen are fully mixed, and part of the natural gas is burned to provide heat for the remaining natural gas to crack. The cracked gas is terminated by rapid cooling to obtain low-temperature cracked gas, and the product acetylene and synthesis gas are obtained through subsequent separation and other processes. This process has the characteristics of high reaction temperature, easy polymerization of certain products, millisecond-level reaction and rapid termination. Rapid cooling is an important part of the process, which not only affects the yield and quality of acetylene products, but the heat loss during the process is also one of the important issues restricting the development of the process.

[0003] In traditional processes, water or oil is often used to form a water curtain or oil curtain in the quench chamber after the combustion chamber to quench the high-temperature cracking gas. In addition, there are many other patented technologies for quenching high-temperature cracking gas. Patent CN 1064947 C uses water as a quenching medium to recirculate it in a closed system, avoiding the consumption of the quenching medium during the process; Patent US 3242225 uses aromatic oil as a quenching agent, and the cracking gas eventually drops to 200-300°C. The high-temperature heat of the quenching agent is used to heat soft water to produce high-temperature water vapor, thereby improving the utilization rate of waste heat; Patent CN 102329189 A uses circulating room-temperature synthesis gas as a quenching medium, converts the cracking gas from high temperature to medium temperature without introducing new impurities to terminate the reaction, and recovers the remaining heat; Patent CN108218653A uses circulating room-temperature cracking gas as a quenching medium to cool the high-temperature cracking gas and recover heat, which reduces the energy consumption of the separation and compression processes to a certain extent.

[0004] Although the above devices and processes can terminate the reaction, the high-temperature cracking gas in the traditional process is directly reduced from more than 1300℃ to 80-100℃, and the heat is absorbed by the quenching water or oil, and no other efficient utilization is performed, resulting in a large amount of energy loss and economic losses. In addition, the carbon black water after quenching volatilizes a large amount of aromatics in the subsequent device to pollute the environment. When aromatic oil is used as the quenching medium, a part of it will be cracked and consumed under high temperature conditions during the quenching process, and the cracking gas components are complex, which requires regular replenishment of aromatic oil and increases the difficulty of separation; using synthesis gas as the quenching medium, although heat loss is avoided to a certain extent, the subsequent separation and compression processes will consume a lot of energy, resulting in low overall heat utilization; using room temperature cracking gas as the quenching medium, the content of acetylene and cracking intermediates increases greatly, making the vessel wall more prone to coking. Although the subsequent patents have recovered heat to a certain extent, they are single-purpose and still have a lot of losses, resulting in low heat utilization of part of the high-temperature cracking gas. Summary of the invention
