Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of separation, and in particular relates to a separation process of ethyl acetate and butanone. Background Art
[0002] Ethyl acetate and butanone are both commonly used organic solvents, widely used in dyes, coatings, detergents, pharmaceuticals and other industries. Ethyl acetate and butanone are azeotropic and miscible, and cannot be separated by direct distillation or pressure swing distillation.
[0003] The prior art proposes the idea of using ethylene glycol, DMSO, NMP, etc. as extractants for extractive distillation to separate ethyl acetate and butanone. Although theoretical simulation calculations are feasible, it is found through practical applications that the extractants cannot achieve the expected separation effect, and ethyl acetate and butanone cannot be separated. There is currently no good solution for the separation and purification of the mixed solution of the two. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a separation process of ethyl acetate and butanone. Ethyl acetate and butanone are two substances in different distillation regions, and the azeotrope is not sensitive to pressure changes. The present invention introduces a new additive (ethanol) to form a distillation boundary line with one end sensitive to pressure changes, and then uses pressure swing distillation to separate ethyl acetate and butanone. The three components of the ethanol / ethyl acetate / butanone ternary mixture in the present invention form azeotropes between each other, and the two distillation boundary lines formed at the same time gradually approach near the ethanol / ethyl acetate azeotrope, forming a distillation boundary line clamping point. The binary azeotrope formed by ethanol / ethyl acetate is sensitive to pressure changes, and a pressure swing distillation process design method for overcoming the distillation boundary line clamping point through pressure optimization is proposed, and the separation of ethyl acetate and butanone is achieved by using a three-tower process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted are: One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a separation process of ethyl acetate and butanone, comprising the following steps: the operating pressure of a butanone separation tower is pressurized, a butanone-ethyl acetate-ethanol mixture to be treated enters the middle of the butanone separation tower, a first top produced liquid of the butanone separation tower is continuously passed into an ethanol separation tower, and a butanone product is continuously produced from the bottom of the butanone separation tower; the operating pressure of the ethanol separation tower is negative pressure, a second top produced liquid of the ethanol separation tower is continuously passed into an ethyl acetate separation tower, and an ethanol product is continuously produced from the bottom of the ethanol separation tower; the operating pressure of the ethyl acetate separation tower is normal pressure, a third top produced liquid of the ethyl acetate separation tower is returned to the butanone separation tower, and an ethyl acetate product is continuously produced from the bottom of the ethyl acetate separation tower.
[0006] Furthermore, the device for realizing the separation process of ethyl acetate and butanone mainly comprises a butanone separation tower, an ethanol separation tower and an ethyl acetate separation tower which are connected in sequence.
[0007] Furthermore, the butanone separation tower is provided with a material inlet, and a reboiler is connected to the bottom of the tower. The bottom of the ethyl acetate separation tower is connected to a second thermally coupled reboiler, the top of the butanone separation tower is connected to the second thermally coupled reboiler, the second thermally coupled reboiler is respectively connected to a first trap and a first reflux tank, the first trap is connected to the first reflux tank, the first reflux tank is connected to a first reflux pump, the first reflux pump is respectively connected to the top of the butanone separation tower and the middle of the ethanol separation tower, the bottom of the butanone separation tower is connected to a first bottom circulating material transfer pump, the first bottom circulating material transfer pump is connected to a butanone product outlet, the top of the ethanol separation tower is sequentially connected to a second trap and a second reflux tank, the second reflux tank is connected to a second reflux pump, the second reflux pump is respectively connected to the top of the ethanol separation tower and the acetic acid In the middle of the ethyl ester separation tower, the bottom of the ethanol separation tower is respectively connected with the first thermal coupling reboiler and the second bottom circulating material transfer pump, the second bottom circulating material transfer pump is respectively connected with the first thermal coupling reboiler and the ethanol product outlet, the top of the ethyl acetate separation tower is connected with the first thermal coupling reboiler, the first thermal coupling reboiler is respectively connected with the third trap and the third reflux tank, the third trap is connected with the third reflux tank, the third reflux tank is connected with the third reflux pump, the third reflux pump is respectively connected with the top of the ethyl acetate separation tower and the material inlet in the butanone separation tower, the bottom of the ethyl acetate separation tower is connected with the third bottom circulating material transfer pump, the third bottom circulating material transfer pump is respectively connected with the second thermal coupling reboiler and the ethyl acetate product outlet.
[0008] The first collector is connected to a first exhaust gas outlet, the second collector is connected to a second exhaust gas outlet, and the third collector is connected to a third exhaust gas outlet.
[0009] Further, the separation process of ethyl acetate and butanone comprises the following specific steps: The operating pressure of the butanone separation tower is pressurized, and the butanone-ethyl acetate-ethanol mixture to be treated enters the middle part of the butanone separation tower from the material inlet. Under the pressurized condition, steam is used as a heat source and indirectly heated through a reboiler. The first tower top gas phase generated after heating is used as a heat source to heat the second thermally coupled reboiler of the ethyl acetate separation tower. The obtained first heat-exchanged gas-liquid mixture is divided into two parts, one part is a first condensate, and the other part is a first uncondensed gas phase. The first uncondensed gas phase is condensed through a first trap, and the obtained first condensed liquid phase and the first condensate enter the first reflux tank together, and are forced to reflux and extract through a first reflux pump. The first reflux liquid returns to the top of the butanone separation tower, and the first tower top produced liquid is continuously passed into the middle part of the ethanol separation tower. The first tower bottom liquid of the butanone separation tower is continuously extracted with a butanone product through a first tower bottom circulation transfer pump; The operating pressure of the ethanol separation tower is negative pressure, and the heat source comes from the third tower top gas phase of the ethyl acetate separation tower, which exchanges heat with the second tower bottom liquid of the ethanol separation tower in the first thermal coupling reboiler. After the second tower bottom liquid is heated and vaporized, its gaseous mixed component, the second tower top gas phase, is condensed and cooled by the second trap, and the obtained second condensed liquid phase enters the second reflux tank and is forced to reflux and withdrawn by the second reflux pump. The obtained second reflux liquid returns to the ethanol separation tower, and the second tower top withdrawn liquid is continuously introduced into the middle part of the ethyl acetate separation tower, and the second tower bottom liquid of the ethanol separation tower is continuously withdrawn from the ethanol product by the second tower bottom circulating material transfer pump; The operating pressure of the ethyl acetate separation tower is normal pressure, and the heat source comes from the first top gas phase of the butanone separation tower. The first top gas phase and the third bottom liquid of the ethyl acetate separation tower are heat-exchanged in the second thermal coupling reboiler, and the third bottom liquid is heated and vaporized. The generated third top gas phase goes to the first thermal coupling reboiler at the bottom of the ethanol separation tower for heat exchange, and the second heat-exchanged gas-liquid mixture is divided into two parts, one part is the second condensate, and the other part is the second uncondensed gas phase. The second uncondensed gas phase is condensed into a third condensed liquid phase through a third trap, and enters the third reflux tank together with the second condensate, and is forced to reflux and extract through a third reflux pump. The third reflux liquid returns to the top of the ethyl acetate separation tower, and the third top produced liquid returns to the material inlet of the butanone separation tower. The third bottom liquid of the ethyl acetate separation tower is continuously extracted from the ethyl acetate product through the third bottom circulating material transfer pump.
[0010] Furthermore, the operating pressure of the butanone separation tower is 400-700 kPaG, the number of theoretical plates is 40-80, and the reflux ratio is 3-15.
[0011] Furthermore, the operating pressure of the ethanol separation tower is 30-70 kPaA, the number of theoretical plates is 20-60, and the reflux ratio is 1-5.
[0012] Furthermore, the ethyl acetate separation tower has a theoretical plate number of 30-80 and a reflux ratio of 2-10.

At the same time, heat coupling can be achieved between distillation towers with different operating pressures, thereby further reducing the energy consumption of the distillation separation process, and having high operability.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the butanone separation tower 11 described in the present invention has an operating pressure of 400-700 kPaG, a theoretical plate number of 40-80, and a reflux ratio of 3-15.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the ethanol separation tower 21 described in the present invention has an operating pressure of 30-70 kPaA, a theoretical plate number of 20-60, and a reflux ratio of 1-5.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the ethyl acetate separation tower 31 described in the present invention has an operating pressure of normal pressure, a theoretical plate number of 30-80, and a reflux ratio of 2-10.
[0025] Example: The butanone-ethyl acetate-ethanol mixture 111 to be treated has a flow rate of 1000 kg / h, a composition of 31.7% ethyl acetate, 37.5% butanone, and 30.8% ethanol. The operating pressure of the butanone separation tower 11 is 500 kPaG, the number of theoretical plates is 80, the operating reflux ratio is 6, the bottom temperature is 147.2°C, the butanone content produced at the bottom is 99.5%, the production volume is 377 kg / h, the top temperature is 132.5°C, the flow rate of the produced liquid at the top is 3460 kg / h, and the composition is 59.2% ethyl acetate, 10.6% butanone, and 30.2% ethanol. The produced liquid enters the ethanol separation tower 21. The operating pressure of ethanol separation tower 21 is 50 kPaA, the number of theoretical plates is 50, the operating reflux ratio is 3, the tower bottom temperature is 61.5 ° C, the ethanol content of the tower bottom is 99.9%, the production volume is 308 kg / h, the tower top temperature is 53.5 ° C, the flow rate of the tower top produced liquid is 3152 kg / h, and the composition is 65% ethyl acetate, 11.6% butanone, and 23.4% ethanol. The produced liquid enters ethyl acetate separation tower 31. The operating pressure of ethyl acetate separation tower 31 is normal pressure, the number of theoretical plates is 60, the operating reflux ratio is 5, the tower bottom temperature is 76.8 ° C, the ethyl acetate content of the tower bottom is 99.5%, the production volume is 315 kg / h, the tower top temperature is 72 ° C, the flow rate of the tower top produced liquid is 2837 kg / h, and the composition is 61.2% ethyl acetate, 12.9% butanone, and 25.9% ethanol. The produced liquid returns to the butanone separation tower 11.
[0026] like Figure 2As shown, under normal pressure, the components in the ternary mixture of ethanol / ethyl acetate / butanone form three binary minimum azeotropes between each other. Since the ethanol / ethyl acetate azeotropic temperature is lower than the boiling point of ethanol and is also the lowest azeotropic point among the three azeotropes, the two distillation boundary lines formed divide the remaining curve graph into three distillation regions. Among the three azeotropes, the binary azeotropic composition formed by ethanol / ethyl acetate is most sensitive to pressure changes. Therefore, when operating in the distillation region on the upper right side, ethyl acetate can be obtained from the bottom of the tower by a distillation method, and the azeotropes of the remaining two components can be obtained from the top of the tower. When operating in the distillation region on the lower right and lower left sides, the clamping condition is too serious and it is difficult to achieve effective separation.
[0027] like Figure 3 It is shown that when the pressure increases from normal pressure to 600 kPa, the ethanol / ethyl acetate azeotropic composition changes, and the clamping phenomenon of the distillation boundary line is significantly alleviated. Therefore, the distillation area on the lower right side is operated, and butanone can be obtained from the bottom of the tower by distillation, and the azeotropic mixture of the other two components can be obtained from the top of the tower.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, when the pressure becomes 50 kPa, the azeotropic composition of ethanol / ethyl acetate changes, and the distillation area on the lower left side is operated. By using the distillation method, ethanol can be obtained from the bottom of the tower, and the azeotropic mixture of the other two components can be obtained from the top of the tower.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
