Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of waste gas treatment and ammonia recovery, and particularly relates to a method for ammonia recovery and utilization in acetic acid ammoniation synthesis of acetonitrile. BACKGROUND
[0002] Acetonitrile is a widely used solvent, which can be used as a separation solvent for hydrocarbon oil, can separate butadiene from C4 hydrocarbon, can separate propylene, isoprene and methyl acetylene from hydrocarbon fractions, and can extract and separate fatty acids from vegetable oil and fish liver oil. Acetonitrile is also an important organic intermediate, which can be used to synthesize various medicines and pesticides. In medicine, it is used to synthesize a series of important medicine intermediates such as vitamin B1, methotrexate, chloroquine, adenine and dextromethorphan. In pesticides, it is used to synthesize pyrethroid insecticides and pesticide intermediates such as ethoxyfen. In addition to the above applications, acetonitrile can also be used as an organic synthesis raw material, a component of a catalyst or a transition metal complex catalyst, used in vinyl coatings, alcohol denaturants, and has many uses in fabric dyeing, lighting, perfume manufacturing and photosensitive material manufacturing.
[0003] The current industrial synthesis method of acetonitrile is acetic acid ammoniation method. The acetic acid ammoniation method has fewer impurities in the product, the product is pure, the purity is high, and the separation process is simple. However, a large amount of waste gas containing ammonia, acetonitrile, acetone and carbon dioxide is generated in the process of synthesizing acetonitrile, and the environmental protection problem becomes a bottleneck problem of acetonitrile production by acetic acid ammoniation, which seriously restricts the production of acetonitrile. The waste of excess ammonia causes the high production cost of acetonitrile, and reduces the market competitiveness of acetonitrile.
[0004] Some related patents mention that water or sulfuric acid can be used to spray and absorb ammonia. When water is used for spraying, part of the acetonitrile will enter the ammonia water during the later separation, resulting in poor quality of the ammonia water, high treatment difficulty, waste of raw materials, and generation of heat in the absorption process, part of the organic gas volatilizes into the atmosphere, causing pollution. The use of sulfuric acid for spraying requires high equipment requirements due to the strong corrosion of sulfuric acid. In addition, the reaction produces ammonium sulfate solution. Due to the presence of ammonia and nitrogen components in the solution and the high salt content, the solution must be distilled and desalted first, then treated by deamination, and then biologically treated after deamination is completed, so as to reach the sewage discharge standard, resulting in high difficulty in sewage treatment. These two methods have their own shortcomings, and satisfactory research results have not been achieved, so it is urgent to develop a method for ammonia recovery and utilization in the process of acetic acid ammoniation synthesis of acetonitrile.

[0009] (3) normal pressure rectification: the residual kettle liquid after recovery of ammonia gas is introduced into a normal pressure rectification tower by a pump for normal pressure rectification, and acetonitrile crude products are taken out from the side line, the acetonitrile crude products taken out are sampled and detected to contain many impurities, and high-content acetonitrile finished products are obtained after further rectification and purification; the gas phase discharged from the top of the normal pressure rectification tower is condensed into liquid phase by a condenser, and the mass content of acetone in the liquid phase is 85-95%; the liquid taken out from the kettle of the normal pressure rectification tower is the extraction agent, which is returned to the extraction absorption tower to continue absorbing the tail gas, thereby being recycled; when the content of the extraction agent in the liquid taken out from the kettle of the normal pressure rectification tower is lower than 80%, fresh extraction agent is supplemented in time; the mass content of acetonitrile in the acetonitrile crude products is 80-90%.
[0010] Specifically, the extraction agent in step 1 is ethanolamine or N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), and preferably is ethanolamine; the flow rate of the extraction agent is 1.5-6.5 cubic meters / hour.
[0011] Specifically, the operation temperature of the extraction absorption tower in step 1 is 40-70℃, and preferably is 55-65℃; the flow rate of the tail gas is 1.0-3.0 m / s.
[0012] Specifically, the operation pressure of the pressurized ammonia distillation tower in step 2 is 1.0-2.0 Mpa, and preferably is 1.3-1.8 Mpa; the feed flow rate is 3-8 cubic meters / hour.
[0013] Specifically, the operation temperature of the pressurized ammonia distillation tower in step 2 is 115-135℃.
[0014] Specifically, the liquid ammonia reflux ratio of the pressurized ammonia distillation tower in step 2 is 5-10:1.
[0015] Specifically, the operation temperature of the normal pressure rectification tower in step 3 is 120-150℃, and the feed flow rate is 2.8-7.8 cubic meters / hour.
[0016] Specifically, the reflux ratio of the atmospheric rectification tower in step 3 is 5-10:1.
[0017] The content in the present application is the mass content.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] (1) The extractant is used to absorb the tail gas, selectively absorb ammonia and acetonitrile, and discharge carbon dioxide to prevent equipment blockage;
[0020] (2) The pressurized ammonia distillation is used, which improves the concentration of recovered liquid ammonia compared with atmospheric ammonia distillation, and reduces the water content in liquid ammonia by 75%;
[0021] (3) The extractant can be reused, which not only saves raw material cost, but also reduces the generation of sewage and protects the ecological environment compared with the conventional process.
