Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of compound preparation, and relates to production of small-molecule compounds, in particular to a method for preparing liquid HCN by an ammoxidation method and a reaction gas absorption system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydrocyanic acid is an important chemical raw material and is widely used. Hydrocyanic acid is a highly toxic chemical and cannot be transported. The synthesis of hydrocyanic acid is matched with downstream products. Main synthesis methods of hydrocyanic acid include: propylene nitrile by-product method, natural gas ammoxidation method, light oil cracking method, methanol ammoxidation method, and formamide dehydration method.
[0003] The natural gas ammoxidation method for synthesizing HCN is mature, and accounts for the largest proportion of about 60% in the total amount of HCN synthesized in the world, and a single device reaches more than 100,000 tons / year. In China, the largest industrialization scale is more than 30,000 tons / year, and the economic and technical indicators of the most competitive hydrocyanic acid production method. The methanol ammoxidation method for synthesizing HCN has developed rapidly in China, with more than 30 production devices, the largest single capacity of 25,000 tons / year, and a total capacity of 300,000 tons / year. Due to the stable performance of the catalyst, the easy availability of methanol raw materials, the mild production conditions, and the high yield of hydrocyanic acid, it has obvious cost advantages and has become a relatively competitive method for producing hydrocyanic acid.
[0004] The natural gas ammoxidation method or the methanol ammoxidation method for synthesizing HCN has reaction gas containing HCN, NH3, H2O and inert gas. The existing method for preparing liquid HCN first uses sulfuric acid to remove ammonia to form an ammonium sulfate solution, and removes the dissolved HCN in the ammonium sulfate solution, then absorbs HCN with water, and then analyzes and rectifies to produce liquid HCN, while discharging the ammonium sulfate solution balance absorption liquid to avoid the accumulation of HCN oligomers in the absorption liquid and induce the intensification of HCN polymerization. A typical process for preparing liquid HCN includes steps such as sulfuric acid deamination, HCN analysis, HCN absorption, HCN rectification, and heat exchange between low-temperature rich liquid and high-temperature lean liquid, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0005] All the disclosed reaction gas absorption methods at present are ammonia and water, HCN absorption respectively, ammonia absorbent is divided into two kinds, one is ammonium dihydrogen phosphate absorbs ammonia to generate monohydrogen phosphate, the other is sulfuric acid absorbs ammonia to generate ammonium sulfate, for example, the method disclosed in patent document CN107500313A. The existing HCN refining process is introduced from foreign technology, which has been used for a long time and the process is relatively mature and stable; and for large-scale process equipment, the reaction structure and process are not easily changed; in addition, the existing technology generally believes that when using sulfuric acid to absorb ammonia, the generated ammonium sulfate may have a negative impact on the physical absorption of HCN, so it is not thought that HCN, NH3 and H2O in the reaction gas are treated by one-step absorption. However, the ammonia in the reaction gas is absorbed into ammonium sulfate solution, HCN needs to be resolved, and HCN in the sulfur ammonium solution is removed; the HCN-containing steam enters the system again, consumes steam and increases the energy consumption of HCN absorption; a small part of water in the reaction gas is discharged with the ammonium sulfate solution, and most of it enters the rectification lean liquid and is continuously discharged from the HCN rectification tower, increasing the treatment amount of the rectification lean liquid. Under the development trend of advocating energy-saving and consumption-reducing process, the existing technology for processing the reaction gas of ammonia oxidation method for synthesizing HCN is not short and economical.

[0043] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples and figures.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] Example 1 provides a reaction gas absorption system for the production of liquid HCN by the ammoxidation process.
[0046] A reaction gas absorption system for treating reaction gas containing HCN, NH3, H2O and inert gas, comprising an absorption device 1, a rectification device 3, the absorption device 1 being provided with a reaction gas inlet, a sulfuric acid solution inlet, an absorption rich liquid outlet and a tail gas outlet; the rectification device 3 being provided with an absorption rich liquid inlet, an absorption lean liquid outlet and a liquid HCN outlet; the sulfuric acid solution inlet being connected with a sulfuric acid supply device 4, the absorption rich liquid outlet being connected with the absorption rich liquid inlet; the liquid HCN outlet being connected with a liquid HCN collection device 7.
[0047] In order to reduce the treatment amount of the ammonium sulfate solution, the absorption lean liquid outlet is connected with the sulfuric acid solution inlet, and further connected with an ammonium sulfate recovery device 8.
[0048] In order to improve the heat utilization rate of the system, the reaction gas absorption system further comprises a heat exchanger 2, which is provided with a rich liquid flow channel and a lean liquid flow channel capable of heat exchange with each other, and the flow directions of the two are opposite. The absorption rich liquid outlet is connected with the absorption rich liquid inlet through the rich liquid flow channel, and the absorption lean liquid outlet is connected with the sulfuric acid solution inlet through the lean liquid flow channel.
[0049] In order to control the temperature of the absorption lean liquid returned to the absorption device 1, a cooling device is further provided on the pipeline between the outlet end of the lean liquid flow channel and the sulfuric acid solution inlet. The cooling device can be a water cooling device, and can further comprise a low-temperature water cooling device.
[0050] Specifically, the absorption device 1 can be an absorption tower, such as one or a combination of a packed tower and a plate tower. The tail gas outlet is connected with a tail gas treatment device 5 for treating the tail gas to meet the emission standard.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rectification device 3 is a rectification tower, such as one or a combination of a packed tower and a plate tower. The top of the rectification tower is provided with a liquid HCN outlet and a polymerization inhibitor inlet, the middle of the rectification tower is provided with an absorption rich liquid inlet, and the bottom of the rectification tower is provided with an absorption lean liquid outlet. The polymerization inhibitor inlet is also connected with a polymerization inhibitor adding device 6.
[0052] Based on the above reaction gas absorption system, a method for preparing liquid HCN by the ammonia oxidation method is provided, and the steps are as follows:
[0053] Reaction gas absorption: the reaction gas containing HCN, NH3, H2O and inert gas is introduced into the absorption device 1, and at the same time, the deamination neutralization reaction is carried out by introducing the sulfuric acid solution, and H2O and HCN are absorbed to generate absorption rich liquid. The reaction gas is natural gas or the mixed gas product of the methanol ammonia oxidation method for synthesizing HCN, and the inert gas refers to the gas that hardly causes physical state change and does not react with other products or reagents in the subsequent separation and treatment steps such as absorption and rectification, for example, nitrogen. The neutralization tail gas discharged from the tail gas outlet of the absorption device 1 is sent to the tail gas treatment device 5 for treatment.
[0054] Rectification and analysis: the absorption rich liquid is sent to the rectification device 3 for rectification and analysis to obtain liquid HCN and absorption lean liquid.
[0055] Absorption lean liquid treatment: the absorption lean liquid is divided into two parts, and the first part of the absorption lean liquid is mixed with sulfuric acid to form the sulfuric acid solution, and then introduced into the absorption device 1 together, and the second part of the absorption lean liquid is recovered to ammonium sulfate. Unlike the use of high-concentration sulfuric acid solution in the prior art, the mass concentration of free sulfuric acid in the sulfuric acid-containing solution in this embodiment is 2-8%, and the pH is preferably 1.0-5.0, and the temperature of the sulfuric acid-containing solution is 0-10°C, which is used for neutralization reaction and cooling absorption of the reaction gas. More preferably, considering the absorption effect and cost, the temperature of the sulfuric acid-containing solution is 3-8°C, and the pH value is 2.5-3.5. The concentration of ammonium sulfate in the sulfuric acid-containing solution is limited by the balance, and is different according to different natural gas ammonia oxidation methods or methanol ammonia oxidation methods, and is generally 5-15%.
[0056] In this way, the absorption of NH3, HCN and H2O can be completed at one time in the absorption device; at the same time, the absorption lean liquid generated after the rectification of the liquid HCN, i.e. the ammonium sulfate solution, is partially returned to the absorption device 1 for recycling, and only part of the absorption lean liquid is used for recovering ammonium sulfate, so that the amount of absorption lean liquid is greatly reduced. Overall, the process is more concise, and the energy consumption is reduced.
[0057] The temperature of the neutralization tail gas discharged after absorption is 0-20°C, and the temperature is preferably 5-15°C; the tail gas after absorption does not contain NH3, and the volume content of HCN is less than 0.05%.
[0058] To further utilize the cold energy of the liquid in the absorption device 1, the first part of the absorption lean liquid is mixed with sulfuric acid and fed into the absorption device 1 after heat exchange with the absorption rich liquid in the heat exchanger 2, and the absorption rich liquid is fed into the rectification device 3. In this way, the absorption rich liquid can be used to cool the absorption lean liquid with a higher temperature, so that the temperature of the sulfuric acid-containing solution fed into the absorption device 1 can be more conveniently controlled at a lower level.
[0059] In addition, an acidic polymerization inhibitor is also introduced into the rectification device 3 to inhibit the polymerization reaction of HCN, which can be any one of concentrated sulfuric acid, SO2, concentrated acetic acid, and hydroxyacetic acid.
[0060] When the rectification device 3 is a rectification column, the absorption rich liquid is introduced from the middle of the rectification column, the acidic polymerization inhibitor is introduced from the top of the rectification column, the liquid HCN is drawn from the top of the rectification column, and the absorption lean liquid is drawn from the bottom of the rectification column.
[0061] The top of the rectification column can be kept at normal pressure, slightly negative pressure (≥80 kpaA), or slightly positive pressure (≤20 kpaG).
[0062] The temperature of the absorption rich liquid introduced from the middle of the rectification column is 50-100°C, preferably 70-90°C, and the mass content of HCN in the solution is 0.5-2.0%, preferably 1.0-1.5%.
[0063] The temperature of the absorption lean liquid flowing out from the bottom of the rectification column is 80-120°C, preferably 90-110°C, and the mass content of HCN in the absorption lean liquid is less than 0.05%.
[0064] The liquid HCN is collected from the top of the rectification column, with a temperature less than -10°C and a concentration of 95.0-99.9%.

[0068] After the ammonia oxidation reaction, the gas composition content was analyzed under stable conditions, and the average molecular weight of the reaction gas was calculated to be 22.6, and the flow rates of the gas components were as shown in Table 1.

The absorption rich liquid temperature, absorption tower top temperature, absorption liquid H2SO4 concentration and rectification tower lean liquid ammonium sulfate concentration are changed for related experiments.
