Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of deacetaldehyde rectification, concretely is a kind of butadiene extraction solvent deacetaldehyde rectification tower. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the running process of butadiene extraction device, there is a rather thorny problem, that is, the acetaldehyde impurity content in mixed carbon four raw materials is high. When mixed carbon four raw materials are continuously transported into the extraction rectification unit of device, these impurities are mixed therein. The solvent recovery system of the device itself has obvious limitations, it cannot effectively separate acetaldehyde impurities, and then cannot realize the purification operation of circulating solvent acetonitrile. In this way, acetaldehyde impurities start the enrichment and accumulation process in the circulating acetonitrile solvent system.
[0003] It is worth noting that when acetaldehyde reaches a certain enrichment degree in the circulating acetonitrile solvent, in the first extraction rectification tower kettle and stripping tower kettle parts, due to the relatively high temperature of the process design of these areas, acetaldehyde becomes the "oxygen" catalyst to cause butadiene polymerization. Under its catalysis, butadiene begins to polymerize, and the generated polymer gradually accumulates, causing polymer plugging in many places of the system pipeline, equipment and other places. This polymerization problem is like a "time bomb", seriously interfering with the stable and orderly operation of the extraction rectification system of device, making it difficult to stabilize the operating parameters of the whole system, and the fluctuation is frequent. If it is not properly solved for a long time, it will pose a huge hidden danger to the safe long-period operation of the device, which may not only lead to frequent unplanned shutdown for maintenance, increase maintenance cost and labor input, but also affect the yield and quality of butadiene product, weaken the competitiveness of the device in the market.
[0004] The acetaldehyde impurities in the butadiene extraction device circulating acetonitrile solvent continuously enrich and accumulate, the acetaldehyde impurity content in the solvent of stripping tower kettle reaches 0.15%, and the acetaldehyde impurity content in the solvent of acetylene flash tower kettle is higher, reaching 2-3%. Research finds that the enriched acetaldehyde impurities will undergo condensation polymerization under alkaline conditions to generate β-hydroxy aldehyde; at the same time, high-concentration butadiene in the device reacts with aldehyde to generate copolymer of acetaldehyde and butadiene, which is yellow rubber. The pump filter of the first extraction rectification kettle and stripping kettle of extraction rectification unit of device continuously discharges such yellow butadiene rubber-like self-polymer, and it is found that the corresponding tower, heat exchanger, pump, valve, pipeline and flowmeter are seriously hung with "glue (self-polymer)". This polymerization problem seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the device; at the same time, it needs to be regularly stopped for cleaning polymer, which shortens the operation period of the device. Therefore, our company starts to research and develop butadiene extraction solvent deacetaldehyde rectification tower. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
