Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organosilicon, and particularly relates to a method and device for treating venting tail gas of an organosilicon storage tank. BACKGROUND

[0002] Organosilicon compounds are widely used in many fields such as aerospace, cutting-edge technology, military technology, electronic appliances, building materials, new energy power, automobile transportation, medical care, daily chemicals and textiles, industrial aids, national defense and military industry, and the like, due to their unique physical structure and excellent performance. More than 90% of organosilicon material products are derived from methyl chlorosilane monomers. The methyl chlorosilane monomers are obtained by catalytic reaction of silicon powder and chloromethane in a fluidized bed reactor to obtain an organosilicon monomer mixture. The organosilicon monomer mixture is further separated by rectification to obtain dimethyldichlorosilane, monomethyltrichlorosilane, trimethylmonochlorosilane, monomethylhydrodichlorosilane, low-boiling substances and the like into a storage tank for storage. In the monomer synthesis process, the conversion rate of chloromethane is 30-50%, and the chloromethane is recycled in the device for recycling. The recycled chloromethane contains alkane and olefin substances, and the storage tank tail gas contains alkane, olefin and chloromethane gas.

[0003] The boiling point of chlorosilane products is less than 70.2℃, the saturated vapor pressure at room temperature is less than 200mmHg, and the chlorosilane products contain hydrocarbon substances, which are easy to vaporize and volatilize in hot summer. The tank area also emits a large amount of breathing gas, which contains chlorosilane, hydrocarbon, chloromethane and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) waste gas and nitrogen. The release of these waste gases not only pollutes the environment, but also causes waste of materials. Usually, enterprises use a set of water washing + alkali washing device to wash the chlorosilane waste gas and then discharge it at high altitude. Although this method can remove chlorosilane substances by reacting with water, it will produce high-salt and high-COD waste water, and non-water-soluble waste gas will still be vented to pollute the environment.

[0004] In the treatment of organosilicon waste gas, another effective engineering example is to use the adsorption method combined with catalytic combustion technology. First, the waste gas is removed through an activated carbon adsorption device, and then the remaining VOCs are completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water through a catalytic combustion device, so as to realize the harmless treatment of waste gas. However, this method requires a large amount of activated carbon, the treatment cost is high, and the hydrolysis of chlorosilane will block the surface of activated carbon, resulting in failure. Therefore, it is generally used after the water washing system as a strengthening measure to treat VOCs.

[0005] Some enterprises collect organosilicon tail gas through a pipeline and then burn it. Although this method can efficiently remove the tail gas and produce a certain amount of steam, it produces a large amount of waste hydrochloric acid and causes resource waste.

[0006] Patent 201811607778 discloses a method and device for purifying silicone fraction tail gas and recovering silicone monomer, which utilizes an adsorption separation system composed of two or more adsorption towers and its program control valve to adsorb and recover the silicone fraction tail gas. The bed temperature of the adsorption tower is constant at 30-180℃, and the adsorption tower sequentially undergoes adsorption, pressure equalization, reverse release, vacuum flushing, and finally pressure increase. Each adsorption tower operates in the above order and in a time staggered manner to improve the total recovery rate of monomers. However, this method cannot effectively adsorb M4 (tetramethylsilane), and the adsorption process is only physical adsorption recovery.

[0007] The above silicone tail gas treatment methods cannot effectively recover and utilize the tail gas resources, and may also cause secondary pollution. Therefore, it is very important to develop a new tail gas recovery process. SUMMARY
