Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, and relates to a system and method for recovering chloromethane from the exhaust gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] Methylchlorosilane is a core monomer in the organosilicon industry. It is mainly prepared by the synthesis reaction of methylchlorosilane using silicon powder and chloromethane as raw materials.

[0003] In the preparation of methylchlorosilanes, chloromethane cannot be completely converted, resulting in tail gas containing small amounts of methylchlorosilane monomers such as dimethyldichlorosilane and trimethylchlorosilane, chloromethane, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Current methods for recovering this tail gas primarily involve single-stage condensation at -20 to -30°C. However, this only recovers approximately 85-90% of the chloromethane, leaving 10-15% emitted as non-condensable gas, resulting in a low recovery rate. Furthermore, the purity of the condensed chloromethane is easily affected by the methylchlorosilane monomers, failing to meet the purity requirement of ≥99.5% for the methylchlorosilane synthesis reaction. Consequently, the recovered chloromethane is insufficient for reuse in the methylchlorosilane synthesis reaction, leading to resource waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a system and method for recovering chloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis, so as to solve the problem of low purity of chloromethane recovered from the tail gas of existing methylchlorosilane synthesis.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This application provides a method for recovering chloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis, the method comprising: The tail gas from the synthesis of methylchlorosilane is subjected to three-stage segmented condensation and gas-liquid separation to obtain condensate and non-condensable gas; the condensate is then distilled to obtain chloromethane. The non-condensable gas is absorbed by a packed absorption tower containing dichloromethane, resulting in non-condensable tail gas at the top of the tower and rich liquid at the bottom. After the rich liquid is desorbed in a desorption column at 40-60℃, lean liquid is obtained at the bottom of the column and desorption gas is obtained at the top of the column. The desorbed gas was dried by adsorption and then filtered to obtain chloromethane.

[0006] This application also provides a system for recovering monochloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis, comprising a deep condenser, a packed absorption tower, a stripping tower, an adsorption dryer, and a precision filter connected in sequence; the deep condenser is also connected to a condensate recovery tank.

[0007] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) High recovery rate and high purity: In this application, a three-stage segmented condensation method is used to recover 85-90% of the monochloromethane in the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis; 90-95% of the remaining monochloromethane is recovered through the directional absorption of dichloromethane; and finally, the remaining monochloromethane is recovered through depressurization and reflux to remove impurities, so as to achieve a total recovery rate of monochloromethane ≥99% and a purity of ≥99.5%, which greatly reduces the waste of monochloromethane and achieves high recovery of monochloromethane, which can be directly reused in the synthesis reaction of methylchlorosilane.

[0008] (2) Low solvent loss: During the desorption process, the volatility of dichloromethane is reduced by reducing the pressure and controlling the temperature. At the same time, dichloromethane is recovered by reflux, so that the solvent content in the desorption gas is ≤0.5%, the lean liquid recycling rate is ≥98%, and the solvent loss is ≤0.3% / cycle.

Detailed Implementation

[0010] This application provides a method for recovering chloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis, the method comprising: S01: The tail gas from the synthesis of methylchlorosilane is condensed and separated into condensate and non-condensable gas in a three-stage segmented process; the condensate is then distilled to obtain chloromethane.

[0011] The tail gas from the synthesis of methylchlorosilane is pressurized by a compressor and then undergoes a three-stage segmented condensation process to form a gas-liquid mixture. Specifically, the pressurized tail gas undergoes a first-stage condensation using ambient temperature circulating water, a second-stage condensation using -15℃ ethylene glycol, and a third-stage deep condensation using a deep condenser. The third-stage deep condensation operates at a pressure of 0.8-1.2 MPa, a temperature of -40 to -60℃, and a residence time of 10-20 seconds.

[0012] The gas-liquid mixture after deep condensation is separated into condensate and non-condensable gas by a gas-liquid separator. The condensate is mainly composed of ≥95% chloromethane, with the remainder being a small amount of methylchlorosilane monomers; the non-condensable gas mainly contains 5-15% chloromethane, 70-80% nitrogen, and 5-15% hydrogen.

[0013] In this embodiment of the application, the condensate is fed into a distillation column and distilled under the conditions of a distillation pressure of 0.8-1.2 MPa and a distillation column bottom temperature of 40-60°C to obtain monochloromethane with a purity of ≥99.0%, which is temporarily stored in the condensate recovery tank 2.

[0014] In the embodiments of this application, gas-liquid separation is performed using a conventional gas-liquid separator, as long as gas-liquid separation can be achieved.

[0015] S02: The non-condensable gas is absorbed by a packed absorption tower containing dichloromethane, resulting in non-condensable tail gas at the top of the tower and rich liquid at the bottom.

[0016] The non-condensable gas is fed into a packed absorption tower, using dichloromethane with a purity ≥99.8% as the absorbent, at an absorption temperature of 0-15℃, an absorption pressure of 0.2-0.5MPa, and a liquid-to-gas ratio of 5-15L / m³. 3 The absorption tower absorbs chloromethane at an empty gas velocity of 0.2-0.5 m / s, producing a non-condensable tail gas at the top and a rich liquid at the bottom. The rich liquid contains 15-25% chloromethane by mass. The non-condensable tail gas mainly consists of nitrogen, hydrogen, and ≤0.1% chloromethane, and can be directly vented or incinerated. The packed absorber uses 250Y ceramic corrugated packing.

[0017] S03: After the rich liquid is desorbed by the desorption tower at 40-60℃, the lean liquid is obtained at the bottom of the tower and the desorption gas is obtained at the top of the tower.

[0018] The rich liquor is fed into a stripping column, where stripping is performed under conditions of stripping pressure of 0.05-0.15 MPa, stripping temperature of 40-60℃, and reflux ratio of 1-3:1. Lean liquor is obtained at the bottom of the column, and stripping gas is obtained at the top. The lean liquor contains ≤0.8% (w / w) of monochloromethane, with the remainder being dichloromethane. The stripping gas is mainly monochloromethane, with a dichloromethane content ≤0.5%.

[0019] In this embodiment, the stripping column is a plate stripping column with 15-25 trays. During the stripping process, the reflux liquid is condensed dichloromethane, which is refluxed to the upper tray of the stripping column.

[0020] To achieve the recovery and utilization of dichloromethane, in this application, the lean liquid is cooled to 0-15℃ and then filtered using a filter with a filtration accuracy of 0.5μm. Finally, the filtered filtrate is recycled to the packed absorption tower.

[0021] S04: The desorbed gas is dried by adsorption and then filtered to obtain chloromethane.

[0022] The desorbed gas was fed into an adsorption dryer, using 3A molecular sieve as the adsorbent. Adsorption drying was carried out at an adsorption temperature of 20-30℃ and an adsorption pressure of 0.1-0.3MPa to remove moisture from the desorbed gas, ensuring a water content ≤5ppm. After adsorption drying, the desorbed gas was filtered through a precision filter with a filtration accuracy of 0.1μm to obtain monochloromethane with a purity ≥99.5%. This monochloromethane, temporarily stored in condensate recovery tank 2, can be combined and reused in the synthesis reaction of methylchlorosilanes. Based on the above-described method for recovering chloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis, this application also provides a system for recovering chloromethane from the tail gas of methylchlorosilane synthesis. This system includes a deep condenser 1, a packed absorption tower 3, a stripping tower 6, an adsorption dryer 9, and a precision filter 10 connected in sequence. The deep condenser 1 is also connected to a condensate recovery tank 2, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 As shown. In addition, the bottom of the stripping column 6 is connected in sequence to the lean liquid tank 4 and the lean liquid pump 5, and the bottom of the stripping column 6 is also equipped with a reboiler 7; a tail gas condenser 8 is also provided between the top of the stripping column 6 and the adsorption dryer 9.
