TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical engineering and rectification separation technology, in particular to a rectification system and a rectification method in a low-pressure carbonyl synthesis process of acetic acid from methanol. BACKGROUND
[0002] The low-pressure carbonyl synthesis process of acetic acid from methanol is one of the main routes for preparing acetic acid in industry. The basic process includes: the raw materials of methanol and carbon monoxide continuously enter the reaction kettle, and under the action of catalyst and co-catalyst, the low-pressure carbonyl reaction is carried out at 2.8-3.0 MPa A and 180-190℃ to generate acetic acid reaction liquid. The reaction liquid is reduced in pressure by a flash valve and enters a flash evaporator to realize vapor-liquid separation under the action of instantaneous pressure difference, and the gas phase flows out from the top, and the liquid phase enters the downstream tower.
[0003] In the existing process, the acetic acid vapor in the flash vapor first enters a light component tower (light component removal tower), the light components therein are recovered, and the recovered light components are returned to the reaction system; the crude acetic acid flowing out from the bottom of the light component removal tower enters a dehydration tower to remove the water therein; the crude acetic acid flowing out from the bottom of the dehydration tower is sent into a product tower to separate acetic acid and propionic acid, the acetic acid meeting the requirements is collected from the top of the product tower, and a large amount of propionic acid is discharged into a waste acid tank.
[0004] However, the existing process has the following technical problems:
[0005] The tower functions are independent and the operation is complex, the removal of light components and the removal of water are completed in the light component removal tower and the dehydration tower respectively, the top reflux ratio, the reboiler power and the temperature distribution need to be independently adjusted, the gas-liquid balance is difficult to be simultaneously optimized, the comprehensive separation efficiency of the tower is not high, and the product purity and yield fluctuate greatly.
[0006] The equipment investment and land occupation increase, since the light component removal tower and the dehydration tower are independent function towers, the process needs additional equipment, pipelines and conveying pumps. Most of the above-mentioned equipment is made of zirconium material, which is expensive and occupies a large area, increasing the construction and operation cost of the factory.
[0007] The energy utilization efficiency is low, the heat generated by the flash vapor is not fully recovered, part of the heat is lost in the operation process of the independent tower, the circulation amount of the rectification system increases, the steam consumption rises, and at the same time, the amount of circulating water also increases, increasing the energy consumption and operation cost.
[0008] The system heat energy coupling is insufficient, there is a lack of heat cascade and energy optimization mechanism between the towers, the waste heat of the flash vapor cannot be efficiently used for evaporation and separation of the downstream tower, the heat energy utilization rate is low, and the stability of the separation process is insufficient.
[0009] In summary, the existing methanol low-pressure carbonylation synthesis acetic acid rectification process has problems such as many towers, high investment cost, high energy consumption, complex operation and insufficient heat utilization, and an optimized rectification method that can comprehensively utilize flash gas phase heat, couple tower functions, improve separation efficiency and heat utilization rate is urgently needed.
