Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of recovery devices, and in particular relates to a propylene oxide refining recovery device. Background Art
[0002] Propylene oxide (PO), although the chlorohydrin process and co-oxidation process have been widely used, there are still many shortcomings, such as the difficulty in treating the wastewater and waste residues produced by the chlorohydrin process, the large investment, and the inability to treat the by-products of the co-oxidation process. Therefore, the development of green and simple processes with less pollution and fewer by-products has become a focus of attention. The direct oxidation of propylene can solve the problems of the above processes and has many unique advantages. Therefore, it has become a hot spot for domestic and foreign companies to compete for research and development in recent years. As a new process technology, the direct epoxidation of propylene to produce propylene oxide technology (HPPO) is currently being widely promoted because of its simple process, few by-products, and high added value.
[0003] In the HPPO process, the existing PO refining tower has PO loss, resulting in a PO loss content of 0.5%. The PO product loss is high, which increases the unit consumption and energy consumption of the device; at the same time, a large amount of propylene oxide enters the back-end system, causing a series of secondary problems. On the other hand, the existing PO device produces low-pressure steam as a by-product, which is normally cooled into condensate by a cooler and then recycled, resulting in heat loss, thus causing greater economic losses.

A PO primary tower reboiler is connected between the condensate tank and the PO primary tower through a pipeline, and a regulating valve FV1 is connected to the water inlet line of the PO primary tower reboiler.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] By recovering PO from the PO refining tower, product loss can be reduced, and the equipment investment is small, the space occupied is small, and the PO loss content is effectively controlled to be less than 1000ppm. While reducing PO loss, the impact of the lost PO on the subsequent stages of the device is reduced, the generation of system by-products is reduced, and while reducing PO loss, the waste heat of the by-product of the device is recovered, the material energy consumption of the device is reduced, and the economic benefits of the enterprise are greatly improved.
