Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production wastewater treatment, and in particular relates to a device for recycling acetic acid and reducing wastewater discharge in a vinyl acetate refining process. Background Art

[0002] Vinyl acetate is an important raw material widely used in the production of a series of chemical and chemical fiber products such as polyvinyl alcohol, coatings, slurries, adhesives, vinylon, films, vinyl copolymer resins, acetal resins, etc. There are currently two main synthesis methods: ethylene gas phase method and acetylene gas phase method. Among them, the acetylene method uses acetylene and acetic acid as raw materials to produce vinyl acetate. Due to its long production history and mature technology, and the abundance of limestone in northern my country, the use of calcium carbide acetylene to produce vinyl acetate still has certain economic and technical advantages.

[0003] The production of vinyl acetate by acetylene process is divided into fixed bed process and fluidized bed process. Fluidized bed has more side reaction products than fixed bed, and crotonaldehyde content is higher, which affects the activity of vinyl acetate and downstream applications. In the refining process of vinyl acetate, in order to separate the heavy component crotonaldehyde, a distillation method of water and crotonaldehyde azeotropy is usually adopted. However, in the overhead distillate aqueous phase component of the crotonaldehyde tower, a certain amount of acetic acid will be contained, and its concentration is about 30g / L. This part of acetic acid will enter the crotonaldehyde concentration tower together with crotonaldehyde, and will eventually be discharged from the tower bottom as wastewater. This wastewater discharge not only increases the environmental burden, but also wastes precious acetic acid resources.

[0032] The operating principle of this utility model is:

[0033] The crotonaldehyde waste liquid distilled from the acetic acid tower 16 is sent to the crotonaldehyde tower 1 through the crotonaldehyde tower kettle heat exchanger 13, steam is introduced into the crotonaldehyde tower reboiler 2, and the temperature is controlled to 104±1°C by the steam regulating valve, so as to control the acetic acid distilled from the crotonaldehyde tower 1 to be ≤45g / l, and the top distillate is condensed through the crotonaldehyde tower condenser 4, and the lower liquid temperature of the crotonaldehyde tower condenser 4 is controlled to be 60±1°C.

The vapor phase distilled from crotonaldehyde concentration tower 8 is directed to the crotonaldehyde tower condenser 4, and the lower liquid enters the crotonaldehyde finished product tank 17. Part of the stagnation liquid from crotonaldehyde concentration tower 8 is sent to the middle section 161 of the acetic acid tower, and part is sent to the acetic acid tower stagnation section 162. The remainder is cooled to 18°C ​​in the crotonaldehyde tower stagnation heat exchanger 13 before being sent to the dilute acetic acid spray tank 12 of the vinyl acetate degassing tower. Finally, it is sent to the top of the vinyl acetate degassing tower 18 via the dilute acetic acid spray pump 15, where it serves as the scrubbing liquid for the vinyl acetate degassing tower 18, scrubbing acetaldehyde and other impurities from the acetylene gas. The dilute acetic acid is then sent to the vinyl acetate refining system to recover the acetic acid.

In addition, the remaining part after concentration is also passed through the acetic acid recovery and reuse system as the washing liquid of the vinyl acetate degassing tower 18 to wash the impurities in the acetylene gas, and finally sent to the vinyl acetate refining system, achieving deep recovery of acetic acid. This series of processes recovers the bottom liquid of the crotonaldehyde concentration tower 8 as the feed component of the acetic acid tower 16, and the final feed amount of the crotonaldehyde concentration tower 8 is 1m 3 / h, the acetic acid content is 30g / L, and the annual acetic acid recovery is about 30*1*24(h)*330(days) / 1000=237.6 tons. This not only significantly improves the acetic acid recovery rate, reduces wastewater discharge, and reduces environmental pollution, but also optimizes the production process, improves the product quality of vinyl acetate, and saves raw material costs, thereby improving the economic benefits of the enterprise.
