Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial naphthalene production technology, specifically to the feedstock oil used in naphthalene distillation equipment and the production process using it as a feedstock. Background Technology
[0002] The main production unit for industrial naphthalene is the naphthalene distillation unit. The naphthalene distillation process is a single-furnace, double-tower, pressurized continuous distillation process. The raw material is dephenolized naphthalene oil. The product wash oil is collected from the bottom of the distillation unit, and the product industrial naphthalene is collected from the top. The phthalic anhydride unit uses industrial naphthalene as raw material to produce phthalic anhydride. During the production process, naphthalene slag is generated as a byproduct, which is sold to manufacturers of water-reducing agents for blending. The naphthalene slag produced from phthalic anhydride production is sold directly for approximately 1500-2000 yuan per ton, with low added value. In contrast, the dephenolized naphthalene oil used in the naphthalene distillation unit has a comprehensive price of approximately 5500-6000 yuan per ton, resulting in higher costs. Currently, Baohua Zhanjiang's phthalic anhydride unit has an annual phthalic anhydride production of 40,000 tons, of which approximately 35 tons of naphthalene slag are produced monthly. This amount is only enough for one truckload of external sales, requiring dedicated personnel and procedures for delivery, resulting in a large workload and low economic efficiency. Therefore, the overall cost-effectiveness of selling naphthalene slag externally is low. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a feedstock oil for a naphthalene distillation unit and a production process using it as a feedstock. This feedstock oil is obtained by scientifically proportioning raw naphthalene oil and naphthalene residue. Through the naphthalene distillation unit, process parameters are optimized to produce high-quality industrial naphthalene. At the same time, the industrial naphthalene is supplied to the phthalic anhydride unit as a feedstock. The two units are combined and balanced to improve overall efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] This invention provides a feedstock oil for a naphthalene distillation unit, comprising dephenolized naphthalene oil and naphthalene residue, wherein the weight ratio of the dephenolized naphthalene oil to the naphthalene residue is (90-105):1, and the naphthalene content of the feedstock oil is controlled at 72-76%. The dephenolized naphthalene oil is obtained by removing phenol from naphthalene oil taken from the side stream of the distillation tower of the tar distillation unit, and the naphthalene residue is a byproduct of the phthalic anhydride unit.
[0006] Preferably, the weight ratio of the dephenolized naphthalene oil to the naphthalene residue is (95-100):1.
[0007] Preferably, the weight ratio of the dephenolized naphthalene oil to the naphthalene residue is 100:1.
[0008] Preferably, the naphthalene content of the de-powdered naphthalene oil is 68-72%.
[0009] Preferably, the naphthalene residue contains 90%-94% naphthalene.
[0010] The present invention also provides a production process for feedstock oil using a naphthalene distillation unit, comprising the following steps:
[0011] 1) Add naphthalene residue through a pipeline to the dephenolized naphthalene oil tank and mix it in proportion to prepare raw material oil;
[0012] 2) The feedstock oil is fed into the single furnace double tower of the naphthalene distillation unit. After heat exchange with the bottom oil and the top industrial naphthalene, the primary distillation tower is heated at atmospheric pressure, and then pressurized in the rectification tower. The product wash oil is collected from the bottom of the rectification tower, and the product industrial naphthalene is collected from the top of the rectification tower.
[0013] 3) The above-mentioned industrial naphthalene is fed into the phthalic anhydride unit to produce phthalic anhydride, generating naphthalene residue as a by-product. The naphthalene residue is then fed into the dephenolized oil tank through a pipeline to produce raw material oil, and the process is repeated.
[0014] Preferably, after the heat exchange temperature between the feed oil and the bottom oil of the tower is set to 90-100℃, the heat exchange temperature between the feed oil and the industrial naphthalene at the top of the tower is set to 160-170℃.
[0015] Preferably, the outlet temperature of the reboiler in the primary distillation column is set to 235-245℃.
[0016] Preferably, the heating temperature of the furnace in the distillation column is set to 312°C.
[0017] Preferably, the return flow rate is set to 8m³ / s. 3 / h.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This invention uses a scientifically proportioned mixture of naphthalene residue and dephenolized naphthalene oil as raw material for the naphthalene distillation unit, thereby increasing the industrial value of the naphthalene residue. The industrial naphthalene produced is then used as a new raw material for the phthalic anhydride unit to produce phthalic anhydride. This not only reduces raw material costs but also combines the naphthalene distillation unit and the phthalic anhydride unit, greatly improving overall efficiency.
[0020] This invention controls the ratio of raw naphthalene oil to naphthalene residue to maintain the naphthalene content of the prepared raw oil at 72-76%, and adjusts the process parameters of the naphthalene distillation unit to precisely control the temperature and reflux flow of the distillation column, ensuring that the product quality meets 100% standards.
[0021] Currently, Baosteel Chemical Zhanjiang Co., Ltd. is the only chemical plant in China that shares both phthalic anhydride and naphthalene plants. It can directly transport materials via pipeline, which further saves transportation costs, allows for timely adjustments to the quality of raw materials and products for both plants, improves the flexibility of material allocation, reduces raw material costs, and enhances economic efficiency.
