Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of methanol synthesis, and in particular relates to a liquid phase methanol synthesis system based on reactive distillation coupled with pervaporation. Background Art

[0002] Methanol (CH3OH), as an important chemical raw material, is widely used in the fields of energy, chemical industry and medicine. The traditional methanol synthesis process mainly relies on fossil energy such as natural gas or coal. However, these processes not only consume a lot of energy, but also release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, causing environmental pollution. Therefore, the technical route of producing methanol from carbon dioxide hydrogenation can not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions and realize the resource utilization of CO2, but also connect with the new energy electrolysis water hydrogen production industry to realize the storage of hydrogen energy, and also provide a low-carbon, environmentally friendly, efficient and feasible technical route for the methanol synthesis process.

[0003] At present, the synthesis of methanol from carbon dioxide hydrogenation is mainly a gas-phase process, which faces the challenge of thermodynamic equilibrium limitations in practical applications. It is difficult to significantly improve the CO2 conversion rate, and the selectivity of methanol on the currently developed catalysts needs to be further improved. Therefore, during the reaction process, in order to avoid the waste of raw gas, a large amount of unreacted gas needs to be circulated in the system, which leads to an increase in the energy consumption of the reaction process, thereby increasing the production cost of methanol.

[0004] Based on this, a liquid-phase methanol synthesis system based on reactive distillation coupled with pervaporation was proposed. The solvent was introduced into the reaction process, and the good solubility of the solvent in the product was used to overcome the limitations of thermodynamic equilibrium. This can significantly improve the single-pass conversion rate of carbon dioxide, reduce the gas circulation volume of the reaction system, increase the methanol yield, and reduce the process energy consumption.
