Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model is applicable to the technical field of tail gas recovery and provides a tail gas recovery device for dimethyl carbonate used in the production of vinylene carbonate. Background Art
[0002] Dimethyl carbonate is needed in the production of vinylene carbonate. In the production process of dimethyl carbonate, propylene oxide and carbon dioxide are generally used to add a catalyst at 0.6 MPa and 170 degrees Celsius to obtain crude propylene carbonate, which is purified by negative pressure distillation to obtain refined propylene carbonate. A large amount of waste gas is generated at this time. In the second step, propylene carbonate and methanol coexist with sodium methoxide at 1.0 MPa to react to generate dimethyl carbonate. The dimethyl carbonate and methanol azeotrope are removed by a distillation tower and propylene glycol is recovered. The unreacted propylene carbonate and methanol are recycled. A large amount of methanol waste gas is generated during the vacuum distillation of propylene glycol. The waste gas is sent to a combustion device for discharge after recovery. However, in the prior art, the waste gas is recovered under cooling conditions, but the cooling process of the tail gas cannot be fully cooled, so that part of the methanol is still contained in the exhaust gas, so that the methanol cannot be fully recovered, resulting in excessive consumption of methanol.
