[0020] Specifically, the coupled rectification tower 2 in the embodiment is a sieve plate tower, the total number of tower plates is 8-20, the rectification section tower diameter is 200-1200 mm, the plate spacing is 100-800 mm, the opening rate is 4-20%, the reboiler 202 heat exchange area is 2-32 m 2 In the embodiment, the liquid phase feed is fed at the top end of the first tower plate, and the gas phase feed is fed at the fifth tower plate.
