They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] Unless otherwise specified, the materials, reagents, etc. involved below are all commercially available products well known to those skilled in the art; unless otherwise specified, the methods described are all methods well known in the art. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used should have the usual meanings understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the utility model belongs. If no specific experimental steps or conditions are specified below, the operations or conditions of the conventional experimental steps described in the literature in the field can be followed.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the utility model provide a system for recovering epoxide from tail gas, including a primary absorption tower 1 and a secondary absorption tower 11 connected to each other; a gas distributor 10 is arranged at the lower part of the primary absorption tower 1, a secondary absorption filler layer 2 is arranged at the upper part of the primary absorption tower 1, a tail gas inlet 5 containing epoxide is opened on one side of the primary absorption tower 1, a secondary absorption liquid inlet 4 is opened at one end of the top of the primary absorption tower 1, and a secondary absorption liquid circulation outlet 9 is opened at the bottom of the primary absorption tower 1; a gas distributor 10 is arranged at the lower part of the secondary absorption tower 11, a quaternary absorption filler layer 12 is arranged at the upper part of the secondary absorption tower 11, a tail gas inlet 15 containing epoxide after secondary absorption is opened at the top of the secondary absorption tower 11, a quaternary absorption liquid inlet 14 is opened at the top of the secondary absorption tower 11, and a quaternary absorption liquid circulation outlet 16 is opened at the bottom of the secondary absorption tower 11. By adding the setting of the secondary absorption tower 11, the epoxide not absorbed by the primary absorption tower 1 can be fully absorbed, the profit can be increased, and the pollution can be reduced at the same time. The secondary absorption filler layer 2 and the fourth absorption filler layer are both made of stainless steel corrugated fillers.

[0025] In the above technical scheme, in order to facilitate operation and prevent incomplete absorption of tail gas, a secondary absorption tower 11 is added and the tail gas inlet pipe of the secondary absorption tower 11, i.e., the four-time absorption exhaust device 13, is changed to the top of the absorption tower, and the diameter of the inlet pipe is increased from DN-20 (pipe diameter is 20mm) of the primary absorption tower 1 to DN-80 (pipe diameter is 80mm), so that the excess epoxide can be well absorbed again, and the discharged tail gas can meet the standards for permitted emissions regardless of whether it is the workshop's own online detection or the environmental protection regular sampling detection. The absorption liquid of the secondary absorption tower 11 can be poured into the primary absorption tower 1 for continued absorption, which not only speeds up the absorption time of the primary absorption tower 1, but also ensures the freshness of the absorption liquid in the secondary absorption tower 11, which is more conducive to the complete absorption of epoxide. For this reason, the diameter of the inlet pipe of the secondary absorption tower or the outlet pipe of the primary absorption tower is set to 80mm.

[0026] In some embodiments, optionally, the secondary absorption liquid circulation outlet 9 is connected to the heat exchanger 6 through a pipeline, and the heat exchanger 6 is also connected to the top of the primary absorption tower 1 through a pipeline. Through the heat exchanger 6, the absorption liquid is heated to 50-60°C by utilizing the heat absorbed by the deionized water in the heat exchanger during the reaction of the ethoxylation device, which is more conducive to the absorption of epoxides. At the same time, the lowering of the water temperature in the heat exchanger is more conducive to the cooling of the materials in the ethoxylation reactor, and the temperature of the absorption liquid is controlled by adjusting it.

[0027] In some embodiments, optionally, the secondary absorption liquid circulation outlet 9 is also connected to the post-processing reactor 7 through a pipeline. After the absorption liquid reaches the water content index, it can be directly pressed into the post-processing reactor for treatment, thereby saving time and manpower.

[0028] In some embodiments, optionally, a circulation pump 8 is provided on the pipeline between the secondary absorption liquid circulation outlet 9 and the post-treatment reactor 7. Circulation by the circulation pump is more conducive to the uniformity of the upper and lower layers of the absorption liquid, prevents uneven concentration of the absorption liquid, and is also more conducive to the absorption of epoxide.

[0029] In some embodiments, optionally, the top of the primary absorption tower 1 is also connected to the gas distributor 10 in the secondary absorption tower 11 through a pipeline. The tail gas after secondary absorption in the primary absorption tower 1 enters the gas distributor 10 of the secondary absorption tower 11 from the top pipeline of the primary absorption tower 1 for tertiary absorption of epoxide.

[0030] In some embodiments, optionally, the top of the secondary absorption tower 11 is connected with a four-time absorption exhaust device 13. The four-time absorption exhaust device 13 is used to directly discharge the VOC content in the tail gas to the atmosphere after the tail gas is absorbed four times and reaches the emission standard required by environmental protection.

[0031] In some embodiments, optionally, the quaternary absorption liquid circulation outlet 16 is connected to the heat exchanger 8 through a pipeline, and the heat exchanger 8 is also connected to the quaternary absorption liquid inlet 14 through a pipeline. Through the heat exchanger 8, the absorption liquid is heated to 50-60° C. by utilizing the heat absorbed by the deionized water in the heat exchanger during the reaction of the ethoxylation device, which is more conducive to the absorption of epoxides. At the same time, the lowering of the water temperature in the heat exchanger is more conducive to the cooling of the materials in the ethoxylation reactor, and the temperature of the absorption liquid is controlled by adjusting it.

[0032] In some embodiments, optionally, a circulation pump 8 is provided on the pipeline between the fourth absorption liquid circulation outlet 16 and the heat exchanger 6. The absorption liquid can be circulated up and down by the circulation pump 8, which is more conducive to the absorption of epoxide.

[0033] In some embodiments, optionally, the gas distributor 10 may be a porous plate distributor; the porous plate distributor is a stainless steel plate with a plurality of 5 mm holes dispersed thereon.

[0034] In some embodiments, optionally, a quadruple absorption exhaust device 13 is provided at the top of the secondary absorption tower 11 .

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for recovering epoxide from tail gas, comprising the following steps:

[0036] The tail gas containing epoxide first passes through the gas distributor 10 at the lower part of the primary absorption tower 1 to complete an absorption reaction; specifically, the tail gas containing epoxide comes from the connection part between the ethoxylation device reactor or the epoxide storage tank and the epoxide metering tank and the tail gas recovery device; the tail gas containing epoxide passes through the gas distributor at a rate of 20m / s. 3 / h-600m 3 / h, the gas distributor can disperse the tail gas, increase the contact area between the tail gas and the absorption liquid, and be more conducive to the absorption of epoxides in the tail gas; the volume concentration of epoxides in the tail gas containing epoxides is 5%-55%, and the components are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The gas distributor 10 can be a porous plate distributor; the porous plate distributor is a stainless steel plate with a plurality of 5mm holes dispersed thereon. After the epoxide-containing tail gas enters the distributor, it is dispersed layer by layer, and the flow rate is reduced, making it easier to be absorbed by the absorption liquid. The filler in the primary absorption tower 1 is a stainless steel corrugated filler, which is used to disperse the absorption liquid, so that the dispersed absorption liquid is easier to react with the epoxides in the primary absorption tower; the temperature of the primary absorption reaction is controlled by a heat exchanger connected in series with the external circulation pipeline;

[0037] After the primary absorption, the tail gas containing epoxide (which is composed of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or a mixture of the two, with a volume concentration of 5%-40%) passes through the secondary absorption filler 2 at the top of the primary absorption tower 1, and is continuously countercurrent washed by the absorbent (the absorbent is an organic amine solution with a solution concentration of 30wt%-60wt%) to complete the secondary absorption reaction; the continuous countercurrent washing is: the absorbent is circulated by a circulation pump, the absorbent flows from top to bottom, and the tail gas containing epoxide flows from bottom to top, thereby achieving a countercurrent absorption effect. Specifically, monoethanolamine and deionized water are sequentially pumped into the absorption tower in proportion, and then circulated evenly by a circulation pump to obtain the absorbent, and then the absorption of epoxide begins. The reaction process of monoethanolamine and epoxide is as follows:

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] The tail gas after the absorption reaction (which is composed of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or a mixture of the two, with a volume concentration of 2%-20%) enters the secondary absorption tower 11, and directly enters the gas distributor 10 at the lower part of the secondary absorption tower 11 through a thickened pipeline to complete the three absorption reactions. The diameter of the thickened pipeline is 80 mm, which is convenient for the tail gas to pass through. The increase in the diameter of the pipeline increases the gas-liquid contact area, making the reaction more complete. By thickening the air inlet pipeline, the contact area between the epoxide in the tail gas and the absorption liquid is increased, which better promotes the reaction and makes the reaction more complete.

[0041] The tail gas of the epoxide after the three absorptions passes through the upper four-absorption filler 12 in the secondary absorption tower 11 (which is a stainless steel corrugated filler, used to disperse the absorption liquid, so that the dispersed absorption liquid and the epoxide in the absorption tower are more convenient to react), and is continuously countercurrent washed by the absorption liquid to complete the four absorption reactions; the tail gas of the epoxide after the three absorptions is composed of ethylene oxide and a trace amount of propylene oxide, and its volume concentration is 1%-8%. The continuous countercurrent washing is to circulate the absorption liquid through a circulation pump, the absorption liquid flows from top to bottom, and the tail gas containing epoxide flows from bottom to top, so as to achieve the countercurrent absorption effect.

[0042] The tail gas after the above four absorption reactions is discharged through the exhaust device 13. The VOC value detected by the real-time monitoring device is less than 80mg / m 3 , can be discharged directly into the atmosphere.

[0043] In the specific implementation, when the moisture content of the secondary absorption liquid in the primary absorption tower 1 is reduced to 15wt% (determined by Karl Fischer method), a batch of recovery reactions is terminated, and the absorption liquid in the primary absorption tower 1 is poured into the post-treatment reactor through a pipeline for post-treatment, and the absorption liquid in the secondary absorption tower 11 is poured into the primary absorption tower 1 through a pipeline, and the secondary absorption tower 11 is replaced with a new absorption liquid. The pouring into the post-treatment reactor for post-treatment specifically includes: pouring the absorption liquid into the post-treatment reactor, heating to 65-70°C for aging for 30 minutes under nitrogen protection, and then vacuum dehydrating and degassing at 65-70°C for 30 minutes, cooling to about 50°C to obtain the finished product. Pouring the absorption liquid through the pipeline not only saves manpower, but also facilitates operation, and directly pouring it through the pipeline can minimize the absorption liquid from contacting the air, thereby preventing the absorption liquid from turning yellow.

[0044] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
