Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, in particular to a synthesis device of N-vinyl pyrrolidone. Background Art

[0002] N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) is an important monomer in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and polymer materials. Its industrial production is mainly achieved through the vinylation reaction of 2-pyrrolidone (2-PY) and acetylene. The traditional process generally adopts an intermittent operation mode, which has the following technical bottlenecks:

[0003] Low catalyst dehydration efficiency: After 2-PY is mixed with KOH aqueous solution, water must be removed to the maximum extent possible to ensure the activity of the catalyst. However, traditional dehydration equipment usually uses vacuum evaporation, which has low evaporation efficiency, long evaporation time and poor dehydration effect, resulting in incomplete dehydration (residual water> 0.5wt%), which directly affects the efficiency of subsequent ethylene reaction.

[0004] Insufficient acetylene utilization: The existing technology usually requires acetylene and inert gas to be mixed and then sent into the reactor to react under the action of the catalyst. Due to the difficulty of gas-liquid two-phase mass transfer, the mass transfer efficiency is very low and the distribution in the reactor is uneven. Therefore, excess acetylene is required to ensure the acetylene concentration. A large amount of unreacted acetylene and inert gas need to be recycled, resulting in large equipment investment and high energy consumption.

[0005] The existing technology (such as CN119059956A) attempts to alleviate the above problems by modifying the preparation process, but does not fundamentally solve the core defects of poor equipment coordination and low acetylene utilization. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an integrated and continuous NVP production system to improve process efficiency through structural innovation. Utility Model Content

At the same time, combined with multi-stage heat integration heat exchange system such as feed preheater and crude NVP heat exchanger, the comprehensive energy consumption is reduced, and the final NVP product purity is stable and reaches the pharmaceutical grade standard. The specific operation process is as follows:

[0062] Catalyst preparation tower 1 has a plate tower structure. The number of plates is designed to meet the requirements for rapid separation of the azeotropic system of 2-PY and water.

[0063] Raw material mixing: 2-PY (2-pyrrolidone) and KOH aqueous solution are fully mixed through a static mixer 11 to form a homogeneous solution.

[0064] Preheating and feeding: After being preheated by the second heat exchange channel of the feed preheater 12, the mixed liquid enters the middle part of the catalyst preparation tower 1.

[0065] A third component is added to the top of the tower, which is azeotropic with water and forms a two-liquid phase system. The water generated by the reaction is removed by azeotropic distillation, and a qualified K-PY (2-pyrrolidone potassium salt) reaction liquid is obtained in the bottom of the tower, which is used as a catalyst. The third component is propyl acetate or isopropyl acetate.

[0066] Azeotropic distillation dehydration:

[0067] The tower is heated by the catalyst preparation tower reboiler 15, and the azeotrope of 2-PY and water evaporates at the top of the tower, and is condensed by the dehydration tower condenser 13 and then separated into layers. The aqueous phase is discharged from the system, and the organic phase is partially refluxed into the tower.

[0068] The bottom liquid is a dehydrated 2-pyrrolidone potassium salt solution, which is transported to the acetylene absorption tower 2 via the catalyst preparation tower bottom pump 36. The number of theoretical plates of the distillation tower is 10-80.

[0069] The acetylene absorption tower 2 adopts a packed tower structure with built-in stainless steel wire mesh structured packing to enhance the gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency.

[0070] Acetylene absorption: The catalyst bottom liquid after spray cooling at the top of the tower is cooled by the catalyst cooler 16 and countercurrently contacts with the pressurized acetylene introduced from the bottom from the acetylene feed compressor 39. Acetylene is dissolved in the liquid phase, and the unabsorbed acetylene gas is discharged from the top of the tower, condensed and recovered by the tail gas condenser 19, and then returned to the compressor for recycling.

[0071] Liquid phase output: Rich liquid containing dissolved acetylene flows out from the bottom of the tower and enters the ethylene reactor 3 after being preheated by the crude NVP heat exchanger 21.

[0072] The ethylene reactor 3 adopts a kettle reactor, which can be filled with loose fillers (such as Raschig rings, ball rings, etc.), structured fillers or other types of fillers.

[0073] Vinylation reaction: The liquid phase of dissolved acetylene reacts with supplementary 2-PY in the reactor to produce NVP. The reaction temperature is controlled by the ethylene reactor feed cooler 23 to maintain the optimal reaction conditions such as 80-120°C.

[0074] Product treatment: The reaction liquid is discharged from the bottom, and after heat exchange and cooling with the discharge of the acetylene absorber in the crude NVP heat exchanger 21, part of it enters the crude NVP storage tank 9, and part of it is circulated to the top of the acetylene absorber 2 to adjust the absorption efficiency.

[0075] The deweighting tower 5 adopts a floating valve tower structure.

[0076] Separation of heavy components: Crude NVP enters the de-weighting tower from the middle, is heated by the de-weighting tower reboiler 26, and the light component NVP and unreacted 2-PY are evaporated from the top of the tower, condensed by the de-weighting tower full condenser 25, and enter the de-weighting tower distillation tank 10. Heavy component impurities such as polymers are discharged from the bottom of the tower and sent to waste treatment through the tower bottom pump 43.

[0077] Distillate treatment: The distillate is further cooled by the de-heavy tower condenser 24 and then enters the middle part of the light tower 6.

[0078] The lightness removal tower 6 adopts a floating valve tower structure.

[0079] Removal of light components: The feed is in gas-liquid contact in the middle, and light components such as residual acetylene and water are evaporated from the top of the tower, condensed in the light removal tower condenser 27, and discharged from the system. The bottom liquid is the NVP crude product with light components removed, which is heated in the light removal tower reboiler 28 and then transported to the NVP product refining tower 7.

[0080] NVP product refining tower 7 adopts high-efficiency wire mesh packing tower.

[0081] High-purity purification: The feed enters from the middle, is separated by distillation, and high-purity NVP is evaporated from the top of the tower, and is condensed by the NVP product refining tower condenser 29 and the NVP product refining tower full condenser 31 before being extracted as a product.

[0082] The 2-PY remaining in the bottom of the tower and a small amount of heavy components are transported to the 2-PY recovery tower 8.

[0083] 2-PY recovery tower 8 uses an inclined hole plate tower, which is suitable for separating high viscosity materials.

[0084] 2-PY recovery cycle: The feed is separated in the middle, and the 2-PY evaporated from the top of the tower is condensed by the condenser 33 and then returned to the static mixer 11 through the extraction pump 48 to be mixed with the new raw material for recycling.

[0085] The heavy components such as by-products remaining at the bottom of the tower are discharged from the system via the bottom pump 49.

[0086] Auxiliary equipment coordinated operation

[0087] Thermal integration design: The feed preheater 12 uses the heat of the catalyst preparation tower bottom liquid to preheat the raw materials, reducing energy consumption. The crude NVP heat exchanger 21 realizes heat exchange between the reaction liquid and the acetylene absorption liquid, optimizing heat utilization.

[0088] Vacuum system:

[0089] The de-heavy tower 5 and the de-light tower 6 share the de-heavy tower vacuum pump 42, and the NVP product refining tower 7 and the 2-PY recovery tower 8 share the vacuum pump 47, thereby reducing equipment investment.
