Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering and treating high-concentration oxide waste liquid from methanol to olefins, and belongs to the fields of environmental protection and chemical industry. Background Art

[0002] For methanol to olefins technology, methanol, in addition to producing ethylene and propylene, also produces a small amount of alcohol, aldehyde, ketone and other oxides in the reaction process. After these oxides enter the water scrubber and stripping tower along with the process gas, part of them enter the water to form oxide waste liquid, which is usually used as fuel for combustion treatment. However, since the water content of this part of oxide waste liquid is very high (about 60-80w%) and the output is large, it is difficult to burn and difficult to handle. The oxygen-containing organic matter in the oxide waste liquid, materials such as alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, can be used as industrial solvents and organic raw materials in industries such as chemical and pharmaceutical industries. If they are separated and recovered, the cost of coal liquefaction to olefins can be further reduced and its biodegradability can be improved.

[0003] The oxides contained in the oxide waste liquid of methanol to olefins are mainly acetaldehyde (boiling point 20.99°C), methanol (boiling point 64.53°C), acetone (boiling point 56.14°C), and also contain small amounts of ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, butanol, butanone, pentanone, hexanone, pentenone, etc. Except for acetaldehyde, these oxides can form a variety of azeotropes with each other, which are difficult to separate.

[0004] CN102040303A discloses a method for recovering organic matter in wastewater from a methanol-to-olefins process. The method uses a pervaporation membrane or a steam permeation membrane that preferentially permeates organic matter to separate organic matter from water in the wastewater, and then the organic matter containing methanol is subjected to steam stripping treatment. The stripping product is then dehydrated through a pervaporation membrane or a steam permeation membrane that preferentially permeates water to obtain methanol and derivative products. The recovery method ultimately obtains a mixture of multiple aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols, and does not perform deep separation of the mixture to obtain a high-purity single-component organic product.

[0005] CN103044217A discloses a method for treating non-acidic oxygen-containing organic matter. The invention first uses distillation to extract all the light components of non-acidic organic matter such as acetaldehyde, ethanol, propionaldehyde, acetone, and n-propanol in wastewater, and then cuts, separates, and refines them in sequence. The process is complicated. In addition, to extract all the organic matter together, the tower bottom needs to be heated to a higher temperature first. This temperature is higher than the tower bottom temperature of most subsequent product refining towers, and it needs to be repeatedly heated and cooled, which consumes a lot of energy.

[0006] CN111499495A discloses a method for recovering various alcohols from troxtrostatic synthesis wastewater. In the invention, the recovered alcohols are dehydrated and refined by distillation to obtain high-purity products. The heating temperature is high and the energy consumption is large. In addition, the invention does not involve the recovery of ketone substances.

[0007] CN103467257A and CN103483148A disclose methods for recovering aldehydes, ketones and alcohols in trotropsch synthesis water using multiple distillation units. The invention ultimately obtains a mixed alcohol product that can only be burned as fuel without deep separation of the mixture. Summary of the invention
