[0038] The present invention further provides a method for purifying ultra-high-purity propylene using any of the above-mentioned ultra-high-purity propylene purification devices. The method is specifically as follows:
[0039] Liquid propylene feedstock is delivered from feedstock tank 15 via feedstock pump 16 to the inlet of feedstock dryer 1. After drying, the propylene feedstock enters the inlet of precooler 2. After cooling, the propylene feedstock is depressurized by a throttle valve and then fed to the inlet of lightness removal tower 6. In actual use, the temperature of the propylene feedstock after cooling in precooler 2 is between -5°C and 5°C, preferably around 0°C.
[0040] The gas after distillation in the light-removal tower 3 enters the first channel of the light-removal tower top condenser 5 for heat exchange and is discharged as light component gas after being regulated by the pressure control valve. In actual use, the tower pressure of the light-removal tower 3 is set to 0.3-0.45 MPaG.
[0041] The liquid after distillation in the light removal tower 3 enters the first channel of the reboiler 6 at the bottom of the light removal tower for heat exchange, and enters the heavy removal tower 4 after being adjusted by the liquid level control valve.
[0042] The liquid after distillation in the de-weighting tower 4 enters the first channel of the de-weighting tower bottom reboiler 8 for heat exchange, and the propylene residue obtained after adjustment by the liquid level control valve enters the propylene residue recovery tank 13 for recovery.
[0043] The gas distilled from de-weighting tower 4 enters the first channel of de-weighting tower overhead condenser 7 for heat exchange. The resulting high-purity propylene (purity ≥99.999%) enters the first channel of high-purity propylene liquefier 9. In actual operation, the pressure of de-weighting tower 4 is set at 0.1-0.25 MPaG. The liquefied high-purity propylene passes through a high-purity propylene buffer tank 14 and enters a high-purity propylene product pressure pump 12. The pressurized high-purity propylene liquid enters the first channel of a high-purity propylene reheater 10 for heat exchange. The reheated high-purity propylene liquid, now at room temperature, is collected in product tank 17 as ultra-high-purity propylene.

[0045] In the production process of ultra-high purity propylene purification, propylene refrigerant is provided by the propylene refrigeration compressor 11 as the cooling source for the light removal tower top condenser 5 and the heavy removal tower top condenser 7. The specific operation is as follows:
[0046] After propylene refrigerant is compressed by propylene refrigeration compressor 11, it enters the first refrigeration branch and the second refrigeration branch respectively as a cold source. Propylene refrigerant enters the second channel of high-purity propylene liquefier 9 by the first refrigeration branch and exchanges heat, and then flows back to the head end of refrigeration line, realizing circulation.

[0048] The present invention overcomes the problems of low yield of high-purity propylene products and excessive energy consumption in existing cryogenic distillation processes by optimizing the process organization of cryogenic distillation. In addition, the device process is simple, the operation is more convenient, the investment cost and the operating cost are greatly reduced, and the economic performance is greatly improved.
