Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a diketene distillation system, and in particular to a diketene distillation method and device with good product quality, high recovery rate, continuous stability, safety and environmental protection. Background Art

[0002] Diketene, also known as acetyl ketene and diketene, is a colorless or light yellow flammable liquid with a pungent odor. It is mainly used as a raw material for organic synthesis, such as the synthesis of ketobutyric acid, acetoacetic acid esters, amides and pyrazolones. It is also used to make plasticizers, dyes, synthetic fibers, cellulose ester films, as well as medicines (antipyretics and tranquilizers), pesticides, food preservatives, spices, foods (sweeteners), feed additives (quinoline dextrose), synthetic resins, rubbers, additives, etc.

[0003] Acetic acid cracking is the main method for producing diketene. Its main process is as follows: after acetic acid evaporates, it enters the heating furnace under vacuum conditions, is heated to 700-780°C, and is cracked under the action of catalysts such as triethyl phosphate and diamine hydrogen phosphate to produce ketene and water. At the same time, side reactions occur to produce methane, carbon dioxide, ethylene, coke, etc. The cracked gas is sent to the absorption tower, where it is absorbed by the absorbent diketene. Subsequently, it is polymerized in the bottom of the tower to produce diketene. The tail gas of the absorption tower is absorbed by water and sent to the incineration system. Part of the generated crude diketene is sent to the top of the tower as an absorbent, and part is sent to the diketene distillation system. Refined diketene is obtained at the top of the distillation tower, and the residue discharged from the bottom of the tower is sent to the hydrolysis recovery section.

[0004] "Diketene" published by Shanghai Pengpu Chemical Plant in 1977 introduced a production process of diketene: acetic acid is cracked under vacuum and high temperature under the catalysis of triester phosphate to generate diketene, and diketene is cooled, absorbed and polymerized to generate crude diketene, which is then distilled under reduced pressure in a membrane evaporator to obtain diketene product. This method uses a membrane evaporator to purify diketene, but has problems such as small equipment capacity, difficulty in large-scale expansion, the need to store residues in a cart, the inability to operate continuously during the refining process, and low diketene yield and purity.

[0005] CN112479847A reports a method for preparing diketene by acetic acid cracking. In the diketene refining section, a film evaporator is used for distillation, a packed tower is used for decolorization, and the residue intermediate tank is further distilled to recover diketene. The maximum feed rate of the film evaporator reported is 550kg / h, the production scale is small, and it is difficult to expand the production capacity. It adopts two distillations, the process is complicated, and the residue intermediate tank is an intermittent distillation operation, which has the potential safety hazards of over-temperature and over-pressure. In addition, the packing tower has insufficient reflux, and a high-purity diketene product cannot be produced.

[0006] CN106749112A reports a continuous diketene distillation process. Diketene gas continuously enters a film evaporator, and after evaporation, it undergoes a primary condensation to obtain a diketene product. The secondary condensate and evaporation residue are esterified with methanol to serve as a cracking furnace fuel. The reported diketene purity is 99%, and the impurity content is relatively high. The feed rate of the film evaporator is 200kg / h, and the equipment capacity is small, making it difficult to scale up.

[0007] In view of the current problems of diketene distillation system, such as small production capacity, low yield, poor product quality, long residue stagnation time and safety hazards, a diketene distillation system capable of continuous and large-scale production has been designed and invented, which can effectively avoid the above problems and is crucial to improving the safety of the diketene process and the quality and yield of diketene products.

[0024] The specific instructions are as follows:

[0025] In the technical scheme, the polymerization inhibitor is one or more selected from methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, n-butanol and isopropanol, and the amount of the polymerization inhibitor added is 0.1‰ to 10‰ of the crude diketene feed amount; the diketene distillation tower has two feeding methods, namely, feeding in the middle of the tower and feeding in the tower bottom; the diketene distillation tower is a packed tower, with a total of 10 to 40 theoretical plates, of which the distillation section has 5 to 30 theoretical plates; the tower bottom uses a reboiler to concentrate the residue; the tower top pressure of the diketene distillation tower is 6 to 15 kPaA, the tower top temperature is 45 to 60°C, the tower bottom temperature is 60 to 75°C, and the reflux ratio is 0.2 to 5; the tower top gas phase is condensed to 0 to 10°C and then enters a reflux tank; the tower bottom residue discharge amount is 5 to 20wt% of the crude diketene feed amount; the residue storage tank uses an external circulation cooling method to control the material temperature in the tank, the material temperature in the tank is 0 to 10°C, and the ratio of the circulation amount to the feed amount is 5 to 30.

The distillation process is crucial to improving the quality of diketene products and reducing material consumption. The traditional diketene distillation process uses a membrane evaporator to evaporate and purify diketene, which has the disadvantages of small production capacity, low diketene purity, and high safety risks.

[0032] The purity of the refined diketene product produced by the present invention is ≥99.6wt%, and the yield is ≥94%, which is much better than the existing indicators: purity 98.5%w, yield 90%; the distillation capacity expansion is less restricted by equipment and is easy to expand.

The device has a high degree of automation, a small number of operating points, and can realize DCS automatic control without manual intervention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
