Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sulfolane production, in particular to a sulfolane refining device. Background Art
[0002] As an important aromatic extraction solvent, the industrial production process of sulfolane involves the reaction of butadiene and sulfur dioxide in the presence of an inhibitor to generate sulfolane, which is then saturated by hydrogenation to obtain sulfolane. This hydrogenated saturated product is usually called a crude sulfolane product. Commercial sulfolane is obtained by adding water and organic amines and other additives to the crude sulfolane product. The quality of commercial sulfolane mainly depends on the sulfur dioxide content and pH value in the crude sulfolane product, among which the sulfur dioxide content is a key indicator for characterizing the thermal stability of sulfolane, expressed as the number of milligrams of SO2 in every 250 ml of sulfolane. The higher the value, the worse the stability. Although efforts are made to remove residual sulfur dioxide as much as possible and ensure sufficient hydrogenation depth in the production of sulfolane so that sulfolane is fully saturated into sulfolane, it is difficult to take both into account at the same time in the actual process.
[0003] The sulfur dioxide in the crude sulfolane product mainly comes from the residual sulfur dioxide in the sulfolane synthesis reaction and the sulfur dioxide released by the decomposition of unsaturated sulfolane, which leads to a low pH value of the crude sulfolane product, usually in the range of 3-5. In addition, in the commercial sulfolane, when water and oxygen are present, these sulfur dioxides will generate sulfate SO4 2 - and sulfite SO3 2 -, these ions will accelerate the deterioration of sulfolane during use, causing the pH value of sulfolane in the aromatics extraction system to continue to decrease, thereby causing corrosion of the aromatics extraction equipment. Therefore, reducing the sulfur dioxide content in the crude sulfolane product and increasing the pH value are the keys to stabilizing the quality of commercial sulfolane.
[0004] For a long time, the method of adding organic alkanolamines (such as monoethanolamine) has been widely used at home and abroad to suppress the decrease in pH value of sulfolane during use, but the effect is not ideal. For example, when the pH value of the aromatics extraction system drops below 4.5, even if the amount of monoethanolamine added daily is increased, the pH value of the system cannot be restored to normal. In addition, the existing vacuum mixing process requires a long period of static reaction, and the gas feeding position is single, resulting in a slow reaction rate. In view of this, in-depth research on the above problems led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content
