Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vinyl chloride synthesis, and in particular to a full-process green synthesis method of vinyl chloride based on a mercury-free catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Vinyl chloride (C2H3Cl), with a boiling point of -13.4°C, is slightly soluble in water and is an important monomer in polymer chemical industry. At present, the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) mainly includes the acetylene method and the ethylene method. Although the ethylene oxychlorination method for preparing VCM is relatively less polluting, based on the characteristics of domestic energy endowment (rich in coal, poor in oil and little gas) and the need to balance a large amount of chlorine resources in the chlor-alkali industry, my country's VCM production route is still dominated by the calcium carbide acetylene method, which accounted for 81.3% of the market in 2019. The calcium carbide acetylene method produces VCM, that is, acetylene gas and hydrogen chloride gas are reacted under the action of mercuric chloride catalyst to generate crude vinyl chloride gas, and then purified, compressed and refined to obtain high-purity VCM. This route has a high reaction conversion rate, few side reactions, and simple equipment. However, the acetylene production process will produce mercury-containing waste liquid, high-boiling residual liquid, etc. If not handled properly, it will not only cause waste of resources, but also bring great pollution risks to the environment. Therefore, the development of mercury-free catalysts, resource processing of high-boiling residual liquid, and recovery and utilization of hydrogen chloride have become the key to the green production of VCM by the calcium carbide acetylene method, and are related to the sustainable development and market competitiveness of my country's VCM production.

[0003] Patent CN110227507B "A high-stability ultra-low mercury catalyst and its preparation method and application" discloses that the ultra-low mercury catalyst can effectively catalyze the preparation of VCM monomer, with an acetylene conversion rate of more than 97.2% and a VCM selectivity of more than 99.5%. However, the catalyst still cannot avoid the loss of mercuric chloride (<3.0%) during the reaction process, and fails to solve the treatment problems of mercury-containing waste liquid and high-boiling residual liquid.

[0004] Patent CN108558596B "An Improved Calcium Carbide Process for Synthesizing VCM" uses calcium carbide slag slurry instead of alkali solution to alkali wash the crude VCM gas, reducing the discharge of waste liquid. The main component of calcium carbide slag slurry is calcium hydroxide, which has a low solubility in water. During alkali washing, there will be problems such as incomplete washing and the need to regularly replace the alkali solution.

[0005] Patent CN104211563B "A VCM high boiling point recovery process and equipment" uses a packed distillation tower and its ancillary equipment to reduce and recycle high boiling points under normal pressure and pressurized conditions. The patent recovers 1,1-dichloroethane from high boiling liquid, while 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethane and other components are not further recycled.

[0006] In summary, it is necessary to develop a green synthesis method for vinyl chloride based on a mercury-free catalyst to completely solve the pollution problems such as mercury-containing waste liquid in the acetylene production process and realize the green production of VCM in the whole process of calcium carbide acetylene method.
