Description

1. Technical Field

[0001] The invention provides an alkylene oxide chlorohydrin process clean production device based on closed-loop recycling of chlorine, and relates to the field of fine chemicals. 2. Background technology

[0002] The chlorohydrin process for preparing alkylene oxide is to prepare hypochlorous acid by chlorine and water, and C2-C7 olefins react with hypochlorous acid to obtain chlorohydrin, which is then reacted with slaked lime or caustic soda to generate alkylene oxide, and then separated by ordinary distillation method to obtain refined alkylene oxide. The chlorohydrin process for preparing propylene oxide was industrialized as early as 1931. It has mature production technology, short process, large operating load flexibility, good selectivity, low requirements for raw material purity, safe and stable production, low construction investment, and products with strong cost competitiveness. At present, about 40% of the world's propylene oxide production capacity is produced by the chlorohydrin process. However, the traditional chlorohydrin process device is less environmentally friendly, with large consumption of water resources and chlorine, and the caustic wastewater containing chlorides is difficult to handle, polluting the environment. At the same time, the chloric acid produced also corrodes the equipment more seriously. For example, for every ton of propylene oxide produced, about 1.5 tons of chlorine are consumed, and at least 40 tons of caustic wastewater containing a small amount of organic chloride and more than 2 tons of CaCl2 waste residue are produced.

[0003] In order to solve the three wastes and corrosion defects of propylene oxide produced by the chlorohydrin method, co-oxidation and direct oxidation methods have been developed at home and abroad. The co-oxidation method overcomes the shortcomings of the chlorohydrin method, such as high corrosiveness and large amount of sewage, but its disadvantages are long process flow, many raw material varieties, high propylene purity requirements, and expensive equipment costs. Propylene oxide produces a large number of co-products in the co-oxidation method. Each ton of propylene oxide must produce 2.5 tons of styrene or 2.4 tons of tert-butyl alcohol. The advantages of this process can only be shown when the market demand for propylene oxide and co-products matches; in addition, the COD of sewage produced by this method is high, and the treatment cost accounts for about 10% of the total investment. The advantages of the direct oxidation method are high conversion rate and selectivity, the amount of wastewater is only 30% of other existing technologies, and the energy consumption is 65% of the existing process; the process flow is simple and economical, the by-product is water, the environmental pollution is small, the land use is small, the factory infrastructure investment is small, and the investment can be reduced by 25%, but the technology is immature, the cost is high, and the safety is poor.

[0004] To this end, Dow Chemical Company of the United States uses 10% to 20% NaOH electrolyte to replace the lime milk (mainly composed of Ca(OH)2) used in the causticizing reaction, which greatly reduces the mass concentration of propylene glycol (PDO) and dichloropropane (DCP) in the saponification waste liquid, and obtains a relatively pure salt solution (mainly composed of NaCl and H2O). The causticizing salt solution is refined to obtain saturated brine and sent to the electrolytic cell, where chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide are obtained through electrolysis. Chlorine is used as the reaction raw material of the chlorohydrin method, and sodium hydroxide is continued to be used to participate in the saponification reaction, which is recycled to improve the economic efficiency of the reaction. Although this improvement can effectively reduce the amount of sewage and waste residue (mainly composed of CaCl2) generated after saponification, and reduce the pollution to soil and water sources, the current refining of the causticizing salt solution is too difficult and the cost is too high, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of the chlor-alkali electrolytic cell.

[0005] If the existing chlorohydrin process for producing alkylene oxides adopts NaOH causticization reaction, it can solve the problem of pollution treatment of chloride-containing caustic wastewater and low-cost recycling of concentrated brine at low cost, and realize closed-loop recycling of chlorine, and the cost and water consumption of propylene oxide can be greatly reduced, then compared with the co-oxidation method and direct oxidation method, the chlorohydrin process for producing alkylene oxides has more development advantages. However, the existing caustic wastewater treatment processes have failed to achieve full resource utilization of caustic wastewater, and it is urgent to develop efficient, clean and low-energy consumption processes and equipment technologies for alkylene oxide chlorohydrin process, eliminate the industrial bottlenecks of high pollution and high water consumption of alkylene oxide chlorohydrin process, and improve its market competitiveness. 3. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the existing chlorohydrin process alkylene oxide technology and to invent a clean production device for chlorohydrin process of alkylene oxide based on chlorine closed-loop recycling. Chlorohydrin is rapidly causticized in a pipeline reactor by means of NaOH electrolyte, causticized waste liquid is supercritically gasified in an electromagnetic heating pipeline reactor and a supercritical delayed gasification reactor, and a gas-liquid mixed phase is separated from the NaCl phase, salt is discharged by a high-pressure lock bucket, and waste heat of high-temperature purified water is recovered and then recycled, and a NaCl solution diluted by part of the purified water in the high-pressure lock bucket is used to produce chlorine and recycle the NaOH electrolyte, so that the industrial bottleneck of high water consumption, high pollution and difficulty in full resource utilization of causticized waste liquid in the production of propylene oxide chlorohydrin process is solved at a low cost, and the serious corrosion of chlorine-containing acid generated by the treatment of causticized waste liquid to equipment is eliminated, thereby realizing the clean production of propylene oxide by chlorohydrin process with low water consumption, low energy consumption and chlorine closed-loop recycling.
