Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, in particular to a C4 extraction and separation solvent regeneration and energy-saving system. Background Art
[0002] C4 extraction separates butene and butane using methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and morpholine as solvents. During the production process, impurities are generated in the solvent system. Light components have boiling points lower than that of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), intermediate components have boiling points higher than that of morpholine but lower than that of morpholine, and heavy components have boiling points higher than that of morpholine. As the proportion of impurities in the solvent increases, the C4 extraction separation efficiency is affected, energy consumption increases, and solvent regeneration is required. The current solvent regeneration process first passes the solvent through a lightness removal column to remove the methyl ethyl ketone from the top. The intermediate components, morpholine, and other components in the bottom of the column are then pumped to a heaviness removal column. Under negative pressure in the heaviness removal column, the intermediate components and morpholine are separated, and the intermediate components are removed from the top of the column, leaving morpholine as the bottom. Due to the high boiling points of the components in the lightness removal and heaviness removal column bottoms, the bottom temperature must be above 190°C, requiring a steam pressure of 1.6 MPa. Steam is continuously used in both the lightness removal and heaviness removal columns throughout the regeneration process, resulting in significant energy consumption. Utility Model Content
