Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of separation of coal chemical products, and in particular, the invention relates to a method for removing impurities from mixed phenols extracted from coal tar. Background Art

[0002] Since most of the large-scale coking enterprises in China have their own tar deep processing projects, and with the development of downstream industries of various phenol products, the market demand for phenol raw materials has continued to expand. Large coking plants have arranged crude phenol refining projects on the basis of their own tar deep processing, resulting in coking phenol raw materials being difficult to obtain. The content of low-grade phenols in high-temperature coal tar is relatively low, so the overall scale of domestic high-temperature phenol processing is relatively small. In addition, due to high-temperature treatment, the crude phenol contains relatively few sulfur and nitrogen impurities, so the overall processing difficulty is relatively low.

[0003] Gasification crude phenol, pyrolysis crude phenol, coal liquefaction oil extraction crude phenol and gasification wastewater also contain a certain amount of crude phenol. Compared with coking crude phenol, these crude phenol raw materials have a larger output and are easier to obtain, but there are more impurities in these crude phenol raw materials, especially crude phenol extracted from phenol-containing coal tar, phenol-containing phenol oil, and coal direct liquefaction oil (including crude phenol extracted by alkaline water and solvent extraction). Due to entrainment, the crude phenol contains high contents of pyridine alkali, neutral oil, naphthalene oil, and sulfide. In addition, some impurities have a boiling point close to that of phenol products, which can easily enter the product and cause the product to change color and taste, increase the difficulty of operating the distillation tower, and cause a low phenol extraction rate. Although this kind of crude phenol raw material is difficult to process, due to its large output, the overall construction scale of the tar crude phenol refining project is large, and it is necessary to conduct in-depth research.

[0004] The main problem in the processing of pyrolysis and gasification phenol is the high impurity content of the raw materials. These impurities are not easy to remove by distillation separation, and their sources are complex and diverse. Since the properties of crude phenol raw materials produced by different types of coal and different processes are very different, the types and contents of impurities are also very different, which increases the difficulty of processing crude phenol. Summary of the invention

[0034] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0035] (1) The present invention takes into account that some crude phenol raw materials have low effective phenol content and many impurities with high boiling points. The high boiling point impurities have complex components, including some impurities that are easily condensed and polymerized under alkaline conditions. However, practice has shown that under alkaline conditions, the viscosity of the material is large and the material mixing effect is poor. In addition, alkali is easy to form agglomerated sodium phenol salts with phenol, which are then wrapped on the surface of the heater and deposited in large quantities at the bottom of the tower kettle, resulting in poor heat transfer effect and difficulty in slag removal, which is not conducive to the refining of crude phenol. Therefore, the present invention preferably chooses to first add acid to treat the nitrogen-containing organic matter that is easy to change color, and then add alkali or other agents to further remove impurities according to the impurity situation of the mixed phenol with low viscosity after dehydration and slag removal.

[0036] (2) In steps S1 and S3 of the present invention, sulfuric acid having acidity, oxidizing properties, reactivity and catalysis is preferably used, but volatile hydrochloric acid, strong oxidizing properties, volatile and unsafe nitric acid and the like are not selected. This is mainly because the acidity of dilute sulfuric acid (which can form salts with basic nitrogen-containing compounds such as pyridine and aniline) and the oxidizing properties of concentrated sulfuric acid (which can oxidize some sulfur-containing compounds, anilines and the like when heated) can be utilized, and concentrated sulfuric acid can react with phenol and anilines to generate phenolsulfonic acid, anilinesulfonic acid and the like when heated as a reaction reagent, thereby reducing the corrosion of the distillation tower by sulfuric acid vapor, and phenolsulfonic acid can also react with nitrogen-containing organic compounds to remove pyridine alkali; and concentrated sulfuric acid can be used as a catalyst to catalyze the polymerization of olefinic substances such as indene and methylindene into resins, thereby removing easily polymerized unsaturated compounds such as indene that are easily blackened.

[0037] (3) In order to ensure the quality of the phenolic products obtained by azeotropic distillation, the crude phenol is preliminarily treated with inorganic acid and sulfuric acid to remove impurities such as pyridine bases, anilines, sulfides, organic acids, etc., and a suitable entrainer is selected for targeted treatment according to the type and content of the neutral oil in the phenolic product. The impurity removal effect is good and the operating cost is low. The quality of the obtained phenolic products is close to or exceeds the level of petrochemical-grade products.

[0038] (4) In order to improve the reaction efficiency of alkali with organic acid, thiophenol and thiol in mixed phenol, the present invention adds a polyethylene glycol or crown ether phase transfer catalyst with good stability to improve the reaction selectivity, and removes organic acid, thiophenol and the like as efficiently as possible to reduce the loss caused by the reaction of strong alkali with phenol products to form sodium phenol.

[0052] Preferably, the color preservative includes at least one of oxalic acid, hypophosphorous acid, hydrazine hydrate and ethylenediamine.

The method for removing impurities from mixed phenols extracted from coal tar according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S3, the stirring reaction temperature is 60-90° C., and the reaction time is 1-2 h; And / or, the heating temperature is 120-160° C. and the heating time is 1-2 hours.

10. The method for removing impurities from mixed phenols extracted from coal tar according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific steps of step S4 are as follows: When the entrainer is an alcoholamine substance, the entrainer solution containing the neutral oil obtained in step S2 is heated to 30-40°C, CO2 is introduced, and then the temperature is raised to 40-50°C for stirring and reaction. After the alcoholamine is fully salified, sampling and analysis are performed until the alcoholamine content in the neutral oil remains unchanged, the CO2 is stopped, and the solution is allowed to stand for stratification. Excess CO2 is pressurized and applied by a pressure pump, and the alcoholamine carbonate is separated from the neutral oil; then the alcoholamine carbonate is heated to remove CO2, the obtained alcoholamine is applied, and the recovered CO2 gas is stored after being pressurized; hydrochloric acid is added to the neutral oil to neutralize the pH to 4-6. After stratification, the water layer is an aqueous solution of alcoholamine hydrochloride, and the oil layer is a neutral oil layer; When the entrainer is a diol substance, liquid alkali is added to the entrainer solution containing neutral oil obtained in step S2 to neutralize the pH to 8-9, and the solution is separated after cooling, wherein the lower layer is a sodium phenolate solution containing diols, and the upper organic layer is a mixture of methylnaphthalene and naphthalene; the sodium phenolate solution containing diols is applied to step S2 as an entrainer.
