Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry and relates to an energy-saving process for solvent recovery in the production process of butadiene rubber. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of butadiene rubber, the polymerization reaction conversion rate is affected by the quality of the polymerization raw materials and the polymerization process conditions. The single-pass conversion rate of the polymerization reaction reaches 80%-90%. Among them, the unreacted 10%-20% butadiene is flashed out in the glue tank and recycled to the polymerization kettle after refining; the butadiene polymerization process is completed by solution polymerization. The polymerization reaction requires a large amount of solvent. The solvent is stripped out in the flash evaporation and condensation section of the glue tank and then recycled to the polymerization kettle after refining in the solvent refining section.

[0003] The existing butadiene production process uses solvent dehydration tower, solvent deweighting tower and butadiene recovery tower for solvent recovery and refining; or the solvent dehydration tower and solvent deweighting tower are combined into one tower, and the solvent is extracted from the side line; or the solvent deweighting tower uses two-effect or three-effect distillation. At present, the function of the solvent dehydration tower is to separate the butadiene from the solvent in the recovered crude solvent and remove the water and light component impurities in the recovered solvent; during the solvent dehydration process, butadiene, water, light components of the solvent and other impurities are removed from the top of the tower. The material at the top of the solvent dehydration tower enters the butadiene recovery tower to complete the separation of butadiene and solvent; the task of the solvent deweighting tower is to remove the heavy component impurities in the recovered solvent. Because the solvent dehydration tower of the existing process technology not only dehydrates, but also separates the butadiene from the solvent in the crude solvent, the reflux volume of the solvent dehydration tower is very large, and the steam and circulating water consumption of the dehydration tower is large, resulting in high energy consumption of solvent refining. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention aims to provide an energy-saving process for solvent recovery in the production process of butadiene rubber, wherein butadiene and a solvent are recovered together through a solvent deweighting tower, butadiene is not recovered separately, so that the amount of steam and circulating water used in the process of recovering the solvent and butadiene can be reduced, energy consumption can be reduced, and thus production costs can be reduced; at the same time, through process optimization, a butadiene recovery tower system is eliminated, the number of equipment is reduced, and construction investment is saved.

[0005] The invention discloses an energy-saving process for solvent recovery in the production process of butadiene rubber. In the production process of butadiene rubber, the solvent flashed out from the rubber liquid tank, butadiene and the crude solvent recovered by condensation are dehydrated in a solvent dehydration tower, and then a double-effect or triple-effect distillation is adopted to remove heavy component impurities in the solvent and recover the solvent and butadiene. The first solvent dehydration tower is used to recover butadiene and part of the solvent, and the second solvent dehydration tower or the second solvent dehydration tower and the third solvent dehydration tower are used to recover the solvent and remove the heavy component.

[0006] This energy-saving process eliminates the butadiene recovery tower (the butadiene recovery tower is used to recover butadiene in the solvent alone), and butadiene and solvent are recovered together through the solvent degravation tower 1. After recovery, the recovered solvent is mixed with the solvent recovered by the solvent degravation tower 2 or the solvent degravation tower 2 and the solvent degravation tower 3, and then circulated into the polymerization kettle of the polymerization unit, which can reduce the use of steam and circulating water in the process of solvent and butadiene recovery, thereby reducing energy consumption. At the same time, through process optimization, the butadiene recovery tower system is eliminated, the number of equipment is reduced, and construction investment is saved.

[0007] The energy-saving process for solvent recovery of the present invention is further described below: The equipment for solvent removal and double-effect distillation in the production of butadiene rubber adopts energy-saving technology of solvent recovery such as Figure 1 As shown, the process is as follows: The crude solvent containing butadiene flashed out from the glue tank and the crude solvent recovered by condensation enter the middle of the solvent dehydration tower, where the water in the crude solvent is removed. Part of the solvent, butadiene and water come out from the top of the solvent dehydration tower, which are condensed by the dehydration tower condenser, and the condensate flows into the dehydration tower reflux tank. In the reflux tank, the oil phase and the water phase are separated, the water phase is discharged into the sewage system, and the oil phase is sent to the solvent dehydration tower as reflux through the dehydration tower reflux pump. The dehydration tower kettle is the solvent that has been dehydrated, which is sent to the solvent dehydration tower by pressure difference. In the solvent de-weighting tower 1, part of the solvent and butadiene removed from the heavy components are evaporated from the top of the tower. The solvent and butadiene vapor phase evaporated from the top of the tower enter the cooler of the de-weighting tower 1 for condensation and cooling, and then flow into the reflux tank. The solvent and butadiene mixture in the reflux tank is partially sent to the top of the solvent de-weighting tower 1 as reflux by the reflux pump of the de-weighting tower 1. Part of the butadiene solvent mixture is mixed with the refined solvent from the reflux pump of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 and sent to the refined solvent tank as a qualified refined solvent and butadiene mixture, and then recycled to the polymerization unit. The bottom of the solvent de-weighting tower 1 contains the solvent containing the heavy components, which is pumped to the solvent de-weighting tower 2 by the bottom liquid pump of the de-weighting tower 1.

[0008] In the solvent de-weighting tower 2, the solvent removed from the heavy component is evaporated from the top of the tower, and the solvent vapor evaporated from the top of the tower enters the solvent de-weighting tower 1 reboiler as its heat source. The vapor phase is condensed in the de-weighting tower 1 reboiler. The condensate is heat-exchanged with the dehydration tower feed solvent in the solvent second preheater, and then cooled by the de-weighting tower 2 cooler and flows into the de-weighting tower 2 reflux tank. The solvent in the reflux tank is partially sent back to the top of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 as reflux by the de-weighting tower 2 reflux pump, and part of it is mixed with the refined solvent and butadiene mixture from the solvent de-weighting tower 1 reflux pump and sent to the refined solvent tank and then to the polymerization unit for recycling. The bottom of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 contains the solvent containing the heavy component, which is sent to the residual liquid recovery tower by differential pressure to further recover the solvent.

[0009] The equipment for solvent removal and triple-effect distillation in the production of butadiene rubber adopts energy-saving technology of solvent recovery such as Figure 2 As shown, the process is as follows: The crude solvent containing butadiene flashed out from the glue tank and the crude solvent recovered by condensation enter the middle of the solvent dehydration tower, where the water in the crude solvent is removed. Part of the solvent, butadiene and water come out from the top of the solvent dehydration tower, which are condensed by the dehydration tower condenser, and the condensate flows into the dehydration tower reflux tank. In the reflux tank, the oil phase and the water phase are separated, the water phase is discharged into the sewage system, and the oil phase is sent to the solvent dehydration tower as reflux through the dehydration tower reflux pump. The dehydration tower kettle is the solvent that has been dehydrated, which is sent to the solvent dehydration tower by pressure difference. In the solvent de-weighting tower 1, part of the solvent and butadiene removed from the heavy component are evaporated from the top of the tower. The solvent and butadiene vapor phase evaporated from the top of the tower enter the cooler of the de-weighting tower 1 for condensation and cooling, and then flow into the reflux tank. The solvent and butadiene mixture in the reflux tank is partially sent to the top of the solvent de-weighting tower 1 as reflux by the reflux pump of the de-weighting tower 1. Part of the butadiene solvent mixture is mixed with the refined solvent from the reflux pump of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 and the reflux pump of the de-weighting tower 3, and then sent to the refined solvent tank as a qualified refined solvent and butadiene mixture, and then recycled to the polymerization unit. The bottom of the solvent de-weighting tower 1 contains the solvent containing the heavy component, which is pumped to the solvent de-weighting tower 2 by the bottom liquid pump of the de-weighting tower 1.

[0010] In the solvent de-weighting tower 2, the solvent removed from the heavy component is evaporated from the top of the tower, and the solvent vapor evaporated from the top of the tower enters the solvent de-weighting tower 1 reboiler as its heat source. The vapor phase is condensed in the de-weighting tower 1 reboiler. The condensate is heat-exchanged with the dehydration tower feed solvent in the solvent second preheater, and then cooled by the de-weighting tower 2 cooler and flows into the de-weighting tower 2 reflux tank. The solvent in the reflux tank is partially sent back to the top of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 by the de-weighting tower 2 reflux pump as reflux, and part of it is mixed with the refined solvent and butadiene mixture from the solvent de-weighting tower 1 reflux pump and the refined solvent from the de-weighting tower 3 reflux pump and then sent to the refined solvent tank and then recycled to the polymerization unit. The tower kettle of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 is the solvent containing the heavy component, which is pumped to the de-weighting tower 3 by the tower kettle of the de-weighting tower 2.

[0011] In the solvent de-weighting tower, the solvent removed from the heavy component is evaporated from the top of the tower, and the solvent vapor evaporated from the top of the tower enters the reboiler of the solvent de-weighting tower 2 as its heat source. After the vapor phase is condensed and cooled in the reboiler of the solvent de-weighting tower 2, it flows into the reflux tank of the solvent de-weighting tower 2. The solvent in the reflux tank is partially sent back to the top of the solvent de-weighting tower 3 by the reflux pump of the heavy de-weighting tower 3 as reflux, and part of it is mixed with the mixture of the fine solvent and butadiene from the reflux pump of the solvent de-weighting tower 1 and the fine solvent from the reflux pump of the heavy de-weighting tower 2 as the refined solvent, and then sent to the refined solvent tank and then to the polymerization unit for recycling.
