Description

[0002] At present, the methanol content in the methanol product obtained by directly synthesizing methanol from synthesis gas is generally below 96%. Methanol of this specification cannot meet the raw material demand of most chemical products. Therefore, methanol distillation is currently the most common way to obtain refined methanol. Its basic principle is to separate most of the impurities other than methanol in crude methanol by distillation, so as to obtain refined methanol products that meet the use needs.

[0003] The three-tower methanol distillation (cocurrent double-effect distillation) process widely used in methanol refining at present is that crude methanol is sequentially distilled and separated through a pre-distillation tower, a pressure distillation tower, and an atmospheric distillation tower, and methanol products are obtained at the top discharge of the pressure tower and the top discharge of the atmospheric tower. The separation order is that the light components in the crude methanol are removed by the pre-distillation tower, and the crude methanol in the tower bottom enters the pressure distillation tower. The condensation latent heat of the methanol vapor at the top of the pressure tower is used as the reboiling heat source of the atmospheric tower to achieve cocurrent double-effect distillation, and the fusel alcohol is extracted from the atmospheric tower side line, and the wastewater is discharged from the atmospheric tower bottom. This method is a common crude methanol refining process. The energy consumption of the methanol distillation process is about 417-3223.7MJ / ton of refined methanol product. The production energy consumption is relatively high.
