Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical distillation, and particularly relates to a system for separating 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization products, and a method for separating 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization products. Background Art

[0002] 1-Hexene is an organic compound mainly used in the manufacture of fragrances, dyes and synthetic resins.

[0003] The conventional process for separating 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization products is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the ethylene trimerization product S01 is passed into the light-removing tower C2-T, and the obtained bottom liquid phase logistics S02 is directly passed into the decene recovery tower C10-T, and the solvent is completely vaporized by the decene recovery tower C10-T, and then the solvent discharged from the top gas phase of the decene recovery tower is recondensed and enters the solvent recovery tower C6-T, and is discharged and separated from the bottom of the solvent recovery tower C6-T. The gas phase product S04 is separated from the top of the solvent recovery tower C6-T and enters the purification tower C4-T, and the light component by-product is obtained at the top of the tower, and hexene is obtained in the bottom of the tower.

[0004] Therefore, the recovery and utilization of solvents in the traditional method requires at least two distillation towers, and the concentration of the intermediate component, namely the solvent, is prone to peak in the tower, that is, the intermediate component is prone to back-mixing, thereby reducing the separation efficiency and increasing energy consumption.

[0005] CN1609083A uses two series-connected distillation towers to refine 1-hexene. In terms of the process, a side-line discharge tower is used to complete the heavy and light removal tasks in one tower, which reduces production costs and device investment compared to the traditional three-tower series connection. However, the patent does not significantly reduce energy consumption, only about 7%.

[0006] CN113166001A is directed to the product obtained by oligoethylene in the presence of a Ziegler type catalyst. It is usually necessary to separate the linear alpha-olefin product (LAO) with multiple distillation columns until the desired carbon number, but multiple distillation columns can cause energy and capital intensive problems. It is proposed that the use of at least one dividing wall tower to separate the LAO product can reduce these burdens. However, the dividing wall tower of this method requires at least one reboiler and one condenser, and the heat at the top and bottom of the tower cannot be effectively utilized.

[0007] Therefore, there is still a need in the art to further study the method for separating 1-hexene from the ethylene trimerization product. Summary of the invention

In one embodiment, after the ethylene trimerization product S01 is treated, the resulting liquid phase enters the lightness removal tower C2-T. The lightness removal tower C2-T is, for example, a distillation tower, and the ethylene trimerization product S01 is distilled in the lightness removal tower C2-T, and the separated ethylene is discharged via the tower top outlet, and the liquid phase logistics S02 is discharged from the tower bottom outlet.

If the position of the solvent outlet is the 30th plate, the position of the solvent component inlet should be the 31st plate.

[0053] The DWC distillation tower is a fully thermally coupled distillation technology. The partition cleverly divides the distillation tower into two parts, namely the pre-separation tower and the main tower.

The solvent component after heat exchange is decompressed by the pressure reducing valve C6, cooled by the cooler C7, and separated by the separator C8. Part of it returns to the next-door tower DWC, and part of it is recycled to the ethylene trimerization reactor; the heavy component after heat exchange returns to the bottom of the next-door tower DWC.

[0060] The light component S03 obtained from the light removal tower C2-T is passed into the purification tower C4-T to separate the light component by-product (mainly butene) and the product 1-hexene. The light component by-product can be flared.

[0061] The above system of the present invention is used for separating 1-hexene from ethylene trimerization products, and the separation method comprises the following steps:
