Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a method and device for preparing tert-butyl alcohol by hydrating isobutylene in raffinate C4. Background Art

[0002] The boiling point difference between isobutylene and normal butene in the residual carbon four is very small. It is not economical to separate isobutylene from the residual carbon four by ordinary distillation. Generally, this part of carbon four is directly burned as fuel, which is a pity. Tert-butyl alcohol is an important organic chemical raw material and solvent, which is widely used in the fields of drug synthesis, coatings, dyes, fragrances and pesticides. In industry, tert-butyl alcohol is mainly obtained by the hydration reaction of isobutylene.

[0003] The hydration reaction of isobutylene to produce tert-butyl alcohol is an acid-catalyzed reaction. The existing tert-butyl alcohol production process mainly includes sulfuric acid hydration and ion exchange resin hydration. The sulfuric acid hydration method is relatively traditional. Its method is to use sulfuric acid to esterify isobutylene and then hydrolyze to produce tert-butyl alcohol. Its advantages are high conversion rate, but its disadvantages are long process, high energy consumption, serious equipment corrosion, and the production of a large amount of waste acid. Therefore, it has been gradually eliminated and replaced by the ion resin hydration method developed in the 1970s. Although the ion resin hydration method has a simpler process than the former, less three wastes are discharged, and there is basically no equipment corrosion problem, it generally has the technical problem of low isobutylene conversion rate. The main reason is that the oil-water two phases cannot achieve microscopic mixing in the ion exchange resin catalyst bed, and the contact between the two phases is insufficient.

[0004] Over the years, technicians have conducted a lot of research work on improving the isobutylene conversion rate and selectivity of ion resin hydration.

[0005] Patent CN1511814A discloses a method for preparing tert-butyl alcohol, which is to add a polyether nonionic surfactant with a viscosity average molecular weight of 200 to 800 during hydration. However, this nonionic surfactant "mixes" in water, and the use of a water circulation process will quickly block the catalyst pores and affect the service life of the catalyst. If water recycling is not implemented, water resources will be consumed greatly, and there is also a technical problem of difficulty in water purification.

[0006] Patent CN103804139A was searched and disclosed a method for preparing tert-butyl alcohol. The method uses multiple fixed bed reactors connected at the end, and tert-butyl alcohol aqueous solution is added to the first stage reactor, and the effective mass space velocity of the mixed carbon tetraisobutylene added to each subsequent stage reactor is equal. The method adds tert-butyl alcohol to the raw material, which increases the cost, and the process of controlling the mass of isobutylene added to each stage is complicated and cumbersome.

[0007] One of the existing isobutylene hydration methods is to use reactive extraction technology, in which water and C4 pass through the catalyst bed in a countercurrent manner, and water extracts tert-butyl alcohol in the reaction system, so that the isobutylene hydration proceeds in the positive direction to improve the conversion rate of isobutylene. The disadvantage of this method is that water as an extractant and reactant makes the water-to-oil ratio high, resulting in high energy consumption of the device and high operating pressure. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for preparing tert-butanol by hydrating isobutylene in residual carbon four, which can greatly improve the conversion rate of isobutylene hydration and use ion exchange resin as a catalyst to prepare tert-butanol by hydrating isobutylene.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by the following technical scheme: a method for preparing tert-butyl alcohol by hydrating isobutylene in residual carbon four, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S2: Water and tert-butyl alcohol are extracted from the bottom of the hydration reactor, and the residual C4 in the liquid phase after the reaction leaves the reactor from the top of the hydration reactor;

[0012] S3: The gaseous C4 extracted from the top of the hydration reactor is returned to the bottom of the reactor after condensation and gasification or compression, and serves as a disturbing gas, which increases the liquid-liquid-solid three-phase contact area and improves the reaction rate.

[0013] Preferably, the reaction temperature of the hydration reactor is 60-90°C, preferably 80-90°C, the reaction pressure is 0.6-1.50Mpa, preferably 0.9-1.2Mpa, the volume ratio of water to isobutylene in the raffinate C4 is 1-4, and the superficial flow velocity of the raffinate C4 is 0.1-1.0mm / s.

[0015] The device for preparing tert-butyl alcohol by hydrating isobutylene in raffinate C4 of the present invention provides two processes. The second process is when the circulating C4 is compressed and returned to the bottom of the hydration reactor, the device includes a hydration reactor R, a liquid phase C4 tank V1, a C4 extraction pump P2, a C4 gas-liquid separation tank V2, a C4 compressor C1 and connecting pipelines between various devices. The hydration reactor is sequentially provided with a gas phase C4 outlet, a liquid phase C4 outlet, a water inlet, a raffinate C4 inlet, a gas phase C4 inlet and a tert-butyl alcohol water outlet from top to bottom. The gas phase C4 outlet at the top of the hydration reactor R is connected to the C4 gas-liquid separation tank V2, the liquid phase outlet of the C4 gas-liquid separation tank V2 is connected to the liquid phase C4 tank V1, the gas phase outlet of the C4 gas-liquid separation tank V2 is connected to the C4 compressor C1, and the outlet of the C4 compressor C1 is connected to the gas phase C4 inlet at the bottom of the hydration reactor; the liquid phase C4 outlet at the top of the hydration reactor R is connected to the liquid phase C4 tank V1 through a pipeline, the liquid phase C4 tank V1 is connected to the C4 production pump P2, and the C4 production pump P2 produces residual C4.

[0016] The hydration reactor used in the above two processes is the same.

[0017] The hydration reactor comprises a reaction section arranged between a water inlet and a raffinate C4 inlet, a top gas-liquid-liquid separation section between a water inlet and a gas-phase C4 inlet, and a bottom liquid-liquid stratification section below the raffinate C4 inlet.
