Recovery system 100 includes a reactor 10, an absorption tower 20, a condenser 30, a first compressor 40, a crude product storage tank 50, a second compressor 60, a distillation tower 70, and a gas-liquid separator 80.
[0028] The top of reactor 10 is connected with the first pipeline 12, and the first pipeline 12 is used for gaseous material being imported into reactor 10 to react, and taking the production of allyl acetate as an example, propylene, acetic acid, oxygen and inert gas four can be passed into reactor to react, and corresponding catalyst, such as supported PD catalyst, can be provided with in reactor 10. The bottom of absorption tower 20 is connected to the bottom of reactor 10 by second pipeline 11, and the top of absorption tower 20 is connected to the first pipeline 12 by the third pipeline 21, so as to be conducive to improving the miscibility of recovered gas and initial feed gas. Condenser 30 is installed in second pipeline 11, and condenser 30 is used for condensing the product discharged from reactor 10, so that product is passed into absorption tower 20 in the form of liquid, and residual reaction gas and inert gas can be passed into absorption tower 20 in the form of gas. The first compressor 40 is installed in the third pipeline 21, and the first compressor 40 is used for the gas pump in absorption tower 20 into reactor 10, so as to realize the recovery of reaction gas. The crude product storage tank 50 is used to hold the materials discharged from the absorption tower 20. The crude product storage tank 50 is connected to the bottom of the absorption tower 20 through the fourth pipeline 22 and the fifth pipeline 51. When observing the absorption tower 20, the access point of the fifth pipeline 51 is higher than the access point of the fourth pipeline 22. Exemplarily, the access point of the fifth pipeline 51 can be above the liquid phase space at the bottom of the tower and below the filler in the absorption tower. Exemplarily, both the fourth pipeline 22 and the fifth pipeline 51 can be connected to the top of the crude product storage tank 50. The second compressor 60 is installed on the fifth pipeline 51. The second compressor 60 is used to pump the flash gas in the crude product storage tank 50 into the absorption tower 20. This part of the gas is also pumped by the first compressor 40 to react in the reactor 10, thereby further recovering the gas.
[0029] The distillation tower 70 is used to distill and separate the materials discharged from the crude product storage tank 50. The middle part of the distillation tower 70 is connected to the crude product storage tank 50 through the sixth pipe 52. For example, it can be connected to the bottom of the crude product storage tank 50. The bottom of the distillation tower 70 is provided with a seventh pipe 72 for draining. The gas-liquid separator 80 is connected to the distillation tower 70 through at least two eighth pipes 71 (two eighth pipes 71 are shown in the figure) for separating the distilled materials and realizing the reflux of the distillation tower 70. The gas-liquid separator 80 is connected to the crude product storage tank 50 through the ninth pipe 81 for introducing the separated gas into the crude product storage tank 50. For example, the gas-liquid separator 80 can be connected to the top of the crude product storage tank 50 through the ninth pipe 81, so that the gas separated by the gas-liquid separator 80 is pumped into the reactor 10 through the first compressor 40 and the second compressor 60, thereby realizing further recovery of the gas. The bottom of the gas-liquid separator 80 is connected with a tenth pipe 83 to discharge part of the separated materials.
[0030] During specific operation, the reactants are introduced into the reactor 10 for reaction. The materials in the reactor 10 are condensed by the condenser 30 and then flow into the absorption tower 20. The gas in the absorption tower 20 is pumped into the reactor 10 for recycling by the first compressor 40, and the materials in the absorption tower 20 are discharged into the crude product storage tank 50. During this period, the flashed gas is pumped into the absorption tower 20 by the second compressor 60 and further pumped into the reactor 10 for recycling by the first compressor 40.

[0032] In some embodiments, the top of the absorption tower 20 is further connected to an eleventh pipe 23 for feeding an absorption liquid. The absorption liquid is used to absorb uncondensed product vapor, thereby reducing the possibility of product vapor being pumped into the reactor 10, thereby improving the reaction conversion efficiency in the reactor 10. For example, the absorption liquid can be an aqueous acetic acid solution. At this point, the absorption liquid and the product liquid are passed together into the distillation tower 70 for distillation treatment, thereby separating the absorption liquid and the product.
[0033] In some embodiments, the reactor 10 , the absorption tower 20 , the crude product storage tank 50 , the distillation tower 70 , and the gas-liquid separation tank 80 are arranged in sequence, thereby facilitating reduction of the layout space of the recovery system 100 .

The types of the first compressor 40 and the second compressor 60 are selected to have advantages of low equipment cost and high pumping efficiency, thereby further reducing production costs.
