AI Technical Summary
In the existing butene oxidative dehydrogenation process, the direct discharge of wastewater from the quenching tower causes the COD level in the wastewater to seriously exceed the standard, increasing the cost of sewage treatment. In addition, the acetaldehyde in the generated gas is easily condensed and blocked in the compressor system, affecting the stable operation of the equipment.
After the gas-liquid separation of the generated gas, the wastewater first enters the quenching and elution tower for preliminary treatment. Part of the wastewater from the tower bottom is returned to the quenching section. The acetaldehyde-rich liquid is extracted in the elution section and then enters the stripping tower for further stripping. Combined with alkaline solution neutralization, wastewater discharge and acetaldehyde accumulation are reduced.
It reduces the COD content in wastewater, avoids acetaldehyde polycondensation in the compressor system, reduces equipment investment and energy consumption, simplifies the process flow, and reduces fresh water consumption and sewage treatment costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of butene oxidative dehydrogenation to produce butadiene, and in particular relates to a method for removing oxygen-containing compounds from gas generated by the reaction of butene oxidative dehydrogenation to produce butadiene. Background Art
[0002] Butadiene is a core raw material for chemical products such as synthetic rubber, synthetic resin, nylon 66, adiponitrile, and 1,4-butanediol. The oxidative dehydrogenation of butene is a mainstream production route due to its high conversion rate and selectivity. However, this process has significant drawbacks: high levels of oxygenated organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones (such as acetaldehyde and acetic acid) generated by side reactions, resulting in large volumes of wastewater and significant treatment challenges.
[0003] The primary reaction in butene oxidative dehydrogenation is the reaction of butene with oxygen to form butadiene and water. Side reactions include deep oxidation to CO2 and CO, as well as oxidative degradation to oxygenated organic compounds such as acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ketones, and alcohols. To separate oxygenated impurities from C4 hydrocarbons, a water scrubbing process is commonly used in industry. However, the introduction of large amounts of scrubbing water leads to a surge in total wastewater volume within the system, necessitating costly biochemical treatment.
[0004] The current mainstream industrial process utilizes a dual-tower purification system combining quenching, acid washing, and aldehyde washing. The detailed process is as follows: After waste heat recovery, the reaction products are separated into gas and liquid phases. The gas phase enters the quenching tower, where it is gradually cooled by multiple stages of circulating water and then injected with alkaline solution to neutralize and remove acetic acid. The liquid phase, after waste heat recovery, is mixed with the tower bottom water, partially recycled back to the quenching tower for reuse, while the remainder is directly sent for biochemical treatment. The gas overhead from the quenching tower is pressurized by a compressor and then enters the bottom of the aldehyde washing tower, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the wash water injected overhead, efficiently removing light oxygenates such as acetaldehyde. The purified gas enters the downstream oil absorption unit to purify the butadiene product. The aldehyde-containing wastewater at the bottom of the tower is then transferred to a stripping tower where acetaldehyde is removed by steam heating and stripping. The water at the bottom of the stripping tower is cooled and then recycled to the top of the aldehyde washing tower, creating a local water cycle to reduce fresh water consumption. Despite this, the system still faces issues such as low wastewater recycling efficiency and the risk of residual oxygenated organic matter. New water treatment technologies or process optimization solutions are urgently needed to improve both environmental and economic performance.
[0005] Patent CN103965005B discloses a deacidification process for the product gas from the oxidative dehydrogenation of butene. The process utilizes a split water-cooled tower with a water-cooled section at the bottom and a saturation section at the top. The product gas from the oxidative dehydrogenation of butene enters the bottom of the water-cooled section and countercurrently contacts wash water injected from the top of the tower to remove organic acids and some aldehyde-containing oxygenates. Water from the water-cooled section is then introduced into the saturation section, where it countercurrently contacts the feed air to strip acetic acid and acetaldehyde. The stripped air is then returned to the oxidative dehydrogenation reactor as feed. The overhead gas is compressed and transported to an aldehyde scrubber, where the wash water further removes residual aldehydes. This process has two core defects: first, oxygen-containing compounds (such as acetic acid and acetaldehyde) are circulated back to the reactor with the stripping air, which easily forms an enrichment effect in the system, induces an increase in side reactions, aggravates the carbon deposition and deactivation of the catalyst, and significantly reduces its service life; second, the water cooling system does not introduce alkaline solution to neutralize acidic substances, resulting in acidic wastewater. Stainless steel materials are required for pipes, valves, instruments and equipment that come into contact with the wastewater, which greatly increases the investment cost of the equipment.
[0006] Patent CN213357400 U discloses an apparatus for removing oxides from butene during the oxidative dehydrogenation of crude butadiene. The generated gas from the oxidative dehydrogenation reaction undergoes heat recovery and quenching in an acid washing tower. It then passes through a generated gas compressor and cooler before being directly fed into an oil absorption and desorption unit. The C4 components separated by the oil absorption and desorption unit enter an extraction tower from the bottom. Oxides such as acetaldehyde are removed via circulating water as an extractant. This process, which involves first washing with oil and then washing with water to remove aldehydes, exacerbates contamination of solvent oil with oxides, necessitating increased solvent oil regeneration frequency. Furthermore, some oxygenated compounds, such as acetaldehyde, are readily soluble in C6 oil and have a low boiling point. However, improper temperature control can lead to condensation reactions during the regeneration process (e.g., to form paraldehyde), resulting in less volatile products. Furthermore, the presence of the aldehyde washing tower increases the complexity of the apparatus and water consumption.
[0007] CN117732189A, CN104098212A and CN104418693B all disclose energy-saving methods for butadiene production from butene oxidative dehydrogenation product gas, and also describe the mainstream processes of butene oxidative dehydrogenation.
[0008] The main problems existing in the operation of the production device are:
[0009] (1) Due to the elution in the rapid cooling section and the internal circulation section of the acid washing tower, acid compounds and most of the acetaldehyde are eluted into the wastewater, and the wastewater in the acid washing tower is directly discharged into the downstream system, causing the COD of the discharged wastewater to seriously exceed the standard, thereby increasing the cost of downstream sewage treatment.
[0010] (2) In the conventional process, the generated gas from the top of the quenching tower is compressed and then enters the aldehyde washing tower to remove acetaldehyde. However, the generated gas from the top of the acid washing tower has a high acetaldehyde content. When entering the aldehyde washing tower, it is easy to cause the pipelines between the sections of the compressor to be blocked due to acetaldehyde condensation, affecting the long-term stable operation of the compressor.
[0011] (3) In actual operation, fresh water can be used in the quenching tower to reduce the oxygen-containing compounds in the generated gas. Although different methods are adopted in various patents, the use of fresh water cannot be eliminated.
[0012] (4) The increase in the amount of water used to wash the quenching acid tower not only requires a large amount of fresh water, but also causes the amount of wastewater discharged from the tower bottom to increase exponentially. The cost of wastewater treatment increases accordingly, which seriously affects the overall economic benefits of the butene oxidative dehydrogenation unit.
[0013] (5) In actual operation, the operating pressure of the stripping tower is relatively high, the reboiler of the stripping tower consumes a large amount of steam, and the energy consumption is high. Summary of the Invention

[0068] 1) In the present invention, the bottom wastewater of the quenching elution tower is sent to the stripping tower for treatment, thereby avoiding direct discharge of the bottom wastewater of the quenching elution tower, reducing the wastewater discharge amount and avoiding excessive COD in the discharged wastewater.
[0069] 2) The present invention reduces the need for an aldehyde washing tower, and acid washing and aldehyde washing are simultaneously completed in a quenching and eluting tower, thereby preventing the acetaldehyde-containing generated gas from the top of the quenching and eluting tower from condensing in the generated gas compressor system and causing blockage of the inter-stage pipeline, thereby reducing equipment costs and lowering investment expenses.
[0070] 3) In the present invention, part of the stripping purified water at the bottom of the stripping tower is recycled back to the quenching and eluting tower as washing water, which can greatly reduce the amount of fresh water used, reduce the wastewater output and the stripping energy consumption.
[0071] 4) For existing industrially operated devices, the system for removing oxygenated compounds from the reaction gas of butene oxidative dehydrogenation to butadiene according to the present invention can be used without requiring large-scale modification or additional investment or energy consumption.
[0072] 5) A single-stage enhanced circulation elution method is adopted in the elution section of the quench elution tower, which can increase the circulating water volume in the elution section to elute the oxides contained in the generated gas. Compared with the multi-stage enhanced circulation elution in the existing industrial technology, the process is simpler and the energy consumption is lower.
[0073] 6) In the elution section of the quenching elution tower, an elution wastewater branch is provided at the position of the acetaldehyde-rich high-concentration liquid. The extracted acetaldehyde-rich high-concentration liquid is sent to the stripping tower for stripping, which solves the problem of acetaldehyde accumulation inside the quenching elution tower, enhances the aldehyde washing effect, reduces the overall washing water load of the quenching elution tower, and reduces the energy consumption of the stripping tower.

[0075] 8) The top of the quench elution tower is supplemented with industrial circulating water and recycled water after wastewater treatment for washing, preferably recycled water after wastewater treatment.
[0076] 9) The top of the stripping tower adopts a full liquid reflux form. The gas phase at the top of the gas-liquid separation tank at the top of the stripping tower is sent to the downstream incineration system for treatment, and the liquid phase at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank at the top of the stripping tower is all returned to the top of the stripping tower, thereby avoiding the existing industrial equipment from discharging the liquid phase wastewater at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank at the top of the stripping tower, resulting in excessive COD of the wastewater and affecting subsequent treatment.
[0077] 10) The stripping tower is operated at low pressure, with an operating pressure of 0 to 0.2 MPag, preferably 0.03 to 0.1 MPag. The low operating pressure greatly reduces the steam consumption of the stripping tower reboiler and minimizes the energy consumption of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The generated gas 16 from the top of the quenching and elution tower T1 after washing and removing the oxygen-containing compounds enters the downstream generated gas compression system. The wastewater 3 from the product gas-liquid separator V1 is mixed with the wastewater outlet pipe 4 from the tower bottom of the quenching and eluting tower T1 and pressurized by the tower bottom pump P2. The majority of the wastewater is cooled by the tower bottom cooler E2 from the tower bottom wastewater main line 5. It is then mixed with the enhanced elution circulating water from the lower branch 10 of the enhanced elution circulating water line 7 of the elution section of the quenching and eluting tower T1, which is pressurized by the enhanced elution circulating pump P1. The water is then returned to the upper part of the quenching section of the quenching and eluting tower T1. A small portion of the wastewater is then transferred from the tower bottom wastewater branch 17 to the stripping tower T2 after heat exchange with purified water through the primary heat exchanger E3. The enhanced elution circulating water from the enhanced elution circulating water line 7 is pressurized by the enhanced elution circulating pump P1 and then branched into the upper branch 8, which is mixed with alkali in the alkali inlet pipe 9. The enhanced elution circulating water is then circulated and enhanced to remove oxygenated compounds from the product gas within the tower. After passing through the recycled water buffer tank V2, the recycled water 12 is pumped by the recycled water delivery pump P4 and cooled by the cooler E1 at the top of the quenching elution tower. The purified water from stripping tower T2 is pressurized by the stripping tower bottom pump P3 in the purified water circulation loop 24 and then heat-exchanged with the bottom water from the bottom of quenching elution tower T1 in the primary heat exchanger E3. It is then cooled by the purified water cooler E4 and divided into two parts. One part returns to the top of quenching elution tower T1, where it is mixed with the enhanced elution circulating water from the upper branch 8 and the alkali solution from the alkali solution inlet 9 and then fed into quenching elution tower T1. The other part is discharged from the purified water discharge branch 25 to the downstream biochemical treatment device.

It is then mixed with the enhanced elution circulating water from the lower branch 10, which is pressurized by the enhanced elution circulating pump P1, in the elution section of quenching and eluting tower T1. The water then returns to the upper portion of the quenching section of quenching and eluting tower T1. A small portion of the wastewater is then transferred from the reactor wastewater branch 17 to the stripping tower T2 after heat exchange with purified water through the primary heat exchanger E3. The enhanced elution circulating water from the elution section of quenching and eluting tower T1 is drawn from the enhanced elution circulating water line 7, pressurized by the enhanced elution circulating pump P1, and then branched into the upper branch 8, which is mixed with alkali in the alkali inlet pipe 9 to circulate and enhance the elution of oxygenated compounds in the product gas. After passing through the recycled water buffer tank V2, the recycled water 12 is pumped by the recycled water delivery pump P4 and mixed with the stripping purified water 26. The water is then cooled in the upper cooler E1 of the quenching elution tower and delivered to the top of the elution section of the quenching elution tower T1. The stripping purified water from stripping tower T2 is pressurized in the purified water circulation loop 24 by the stripping tower bottom pump P3 and then heat-exchanged with the bottom water from the bottom of the quenching elution tower T1 in the primary heat exchanger E3. The water is then cooled in the stripping purified water cooler E4 and divided into two parts. One part 11 is returned to the upper section of the quenching elution tower T1 and delivered to the quenching elution tower T1. The other part 26 is mixed with the recycled water 14, cooled in the upper cooler E1 of the quenching elution tower, and then delivered to the top of the elution section of the quenching elution tower T1. The remaining part of the stripping purified water cooled in the stripping purified water cooler E4 is discharged from the stripping purified water discharge branch 25 to the downstream biochemical treatment device. The wastewater in the stripping tower T2 is heated and stripped by the stripping tower kettle reboiler E5. The oxygen-containing compound gas phase 19 extracted from the top of the stripping tower T2 is cooled by the stripping tower top cooler E6 and then enters the stripping tower top gas-liquid separation tank V3. The top gas phase 21 of the stripping tower top gas-liquid separation tank V3 goes to the downstream incineration system, and the bottom liquid phase 22 is pressurized by the stripping tower top reflux pump P5 and then returned to the upper part of the stripping tower T2.
[0085] Option 3:
[0086] like Figure 3As shown, the generated gas 1 after the oxidative dehydrogenation of butene is cooled and enters the generated gas separator V1. The overhead gas 2 is sent to the quenching section of the quenching and stripping tower T1, where it comes into contact with scrubbing water within the tower to remove acid, acetaldehyde, and other oxygen-containing compounds. The generated gas 16, after scrubbing and removing oxygen-containing compounds from the top of quenching and stripping tower T1, enters the downstream generated gas compression system. The kettle wastewater 3 from the quenching and stripping tower V1 is mixed with the quenching and stripping tower bottom wastewater outlet pipe 4 and pressurized by the quenching and acid washing tower bottom pump P2. The majority of the kettle wastewater flows from the kettle wastewater main line 5 through the quenching and stripping tower lower end cooler E2, then returns to the upper portion of the quenching section of the quenching and stripping tower T1. A small portion of the kettle wastewater flows from the kettle wastewater branch line 17, exchanges heat with purified stripping water through the primary heat exchanger E3, and is then sent to the stripping tower T2. After passing through the recycled water buffer tank V2, the recycled water 12 is pumped by the recycled water delivery pump P4, cooled by the top cooler E1 of the quenching elution tower, and then delivered to the top of the elution section of the quenching elution tower T1. The purified water after stripping in the stripping tower T2 is pressurized by the stripping tower bottom pump P3 in the purified water circulation loop 24 and then heat-exchanged with the bottom water from the bottom of the quenching elution tower T1 in the primary heat exchanger E3. It is then cooled in the stripping purified water cooler E4 and divided into two parts. One part is further divided into part 8, mixed with alkali solution from the alkali solution inlet 9, and then delivered to the elution section of the quenching elution tower T1. The other part 10 is mixed with recycled water 16, cooled by the top cooler E1 of the quenching elution tower, and then delivered to the top of the elution section of the quenching elution tower T1.

The elution section of quench elution tower T1 extracts acetaldehyde-rich concentrated liquid from elution wastewater branch 26. After being pressurized by quench elution tower elution wastewater transfer pump P1, it undergoes heat exchange with stripping purified water 29 in secondary heat exchanger E7. After that, it is mixed with the bottom wastewater branch 17 and then transferred to stripping tower T1 for stripping, thereby enhancing the aldehyde removal effect of the elution section of the quench elution tower. Recycled water 12 passes through recycled water buffer tank V2, is pumped by recycled water transfer pump P4, mixed with stripping purified water 10, cooled by quench elution tower top cooler E1, and then transferred to the top of quench acid washing tower T1. After stripping in stripping tower T2, the purified water is pressurized by stripping tower bottom pump P3 from stripping purified water circulation loop 24 and then undergoes a primary heat exchange with wastewater 17 from the bottom of quenching elution tower T1 in primary heat exchanger E3. The purified water is then divided into two parts. One part, purified water 29, undergoes secondary heat exchange with acetaldehyde-rich concentrated liquid 27 extracted from the elution section of quenching elution tower T1 in secondary heat exchanger E7. The water is then divided into two parts: one part 8, which is mixed with alkali in alkali inlet pipe 9 and fed into the elution section of quenching elution tower T1. The other part 10, which is mixed with recycled water 16, is cooled in quenching elution tower top cooler E1 and fed into the top of quenching elution tower T1.

[0101]
[0102] In summary, the present invention sends the wastewater from the bottom of the quenching elution tower T1 into the stripping tower T2 for treatment, and the COD value in the discharged wastewater is significantly lower than that in the comparative example, and thus the present invention can solve the problem of excessive COD in wastewater.
