Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment, specifically to a phthalic anhydride distillation device for reducing coking in the reboiler of a light component tower. Background Technology
[0002] Phthalic anhydride, also known as phthalic anhydride, is a very important organic chemical raw material. Its core process involves mixing purified air with vaporized o-xylene, and then subjecting the mixture to a gas-phase oxidation reaction at high temperature (approximately 400-460°C) and with a vanadium-based catalyst to produce phthalic anhydride. The large amount of heat generated by the reaction is removed by molten salt circulating outside the tubes, and steam may be produced as a byproduct. After cooling, the phthalic anhydride sublimates into a solid, which is then purified through melting, vacuum distillation, and other steps to obtain the final product.
[0003] The distillation section typically includes a light component column and a heavy component column. The light component column usually transfers heavy components from the bottom to the heavy component column via overflow, resulting in lower material flow at the bottom of the light component column. This causes heavy components to easily deposit in the reboiler and at the bottom of the light component column. The enrichment of heavy components, coupled with the high-temperature environment, easily leads to coking on the surface of the heat exchange tubes in the reboiler of the light component column, reducing evaporation and affecting the distillation separation efficiency. As the evaporation rate decreases, the process operation reduces the pressure inside the column. When the enriched heavy components reach their boiling point, they also evaporate and enter the valve trays and packing layer, causing coking, adhesion, and increased resistance in the trays and valves, further deteriorating the operating conditions within the column. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problem that coking is easy to occur in the light component column of the existing phthalic anhydride distillation unit, which affects the distillation and separation effect of the light component column, this utility model provides a phthalic anhydride distillation unit that reduces coking in the reboiler of the light component column.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a phthalic anhydride distillation apparatus for reducing coking in the reboiler of the light component column, comprising a crude phthalic anhydride tank, a light component column, and a heavy component column.

A heavy component overflow line is provided inside the light component column. A first reboiler is provided at the bottom of the light component column. The first reboiler is provided with a first inlet line, a first outlet line, and a heavy component outlet line. The heavy component outlet line is connected to a discharge line and a heavy component column feed line.

[0024] Referring to the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 in the figure, this utility model provides a phthalic anhydride distillation apparatus for reducing coking in the reboiler of the light component tower. It includes a crude phthalic anhydride tank 1, a light component tower 2, and a heavy component tower 5. The phthalic anhydride to be distilled is stored in the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1. A feed line 24 connects the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 and the light component tower 2. The light component tower 2 is equipped with a light component outlet line 22 and a phthalic anhydride outlet line 23. Light components, such as maleic anhydride and benzoic acid, are collected from the light component outlet line 22, and qualified finished phthalic anhydride is collected from the phthalic anhydride outlet line 23. A heavy component overflow line 25 is located inside the light component tower 2, and the other end of the heavy component overflow line 25 is connected to the heavy component tower 5. The heavy component overflow line 25 is equipped with... Overflow outlet 251: When the liquid level at the bottom of light component tower 2 is higher than overflow outlet 251, it will automatically overflow into heavy component tower 5. The bottom of light component tower 2 is equipped with a first reboiler 21, and the first reboiler 21 is equipped with a heavy component collection pipeline 213. The heavy component at the bottom of light component tower 2 can be discharged through the heavy component collection pipeline 213. The heavy component collection pipeline 213 is connected to a discharge pipeline 214 and a heavy component tower feed pipeline 215. The other end of the discharge pipeline 214 is connected to the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1. The heavy component at the bottom of light component tower 2 can be discharged into the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 through the discharge pipeline 214. The other end of the heavy component tower feed pipeline 215 is connected to the heavy component tower 5.
[0025] The phthalic anhydride distillation apparatus for reducing coking in the reboiler of the light component column provided by this utility model adds a heavy component extraction pipeline 213 to the first reboiler 21. The heavy component at the bottom of the light component column 2 can be transported out of the bottom of the light component column 2 through the heavy component extraction pipeline 213 and flow in the first reboiler 21, thereby reducing the deposition of heavy component at the bottom of the light component column 2 in the first reboiler 21. The interior of the light component column 2 is equipped with heating tubes, which also reduces coking of heavy component on the heating tubes.
[0026] Specifically, the light component outlet pipeline 22 is located at the top of the light component tower 2, the phthalic anhydride outlet pipeline 23 is located below the light component outlet pipeline 22, and the inlet of the feed pipeline 24 into the light component tower 2 is located below the phthalic anhydride outlet pipeline 23. The first reboiler 21 is equipped with an inlet tube, and is connected to a first inlet pipeline 211 and a first outlet pipeline 212. The heavy components at the bottom of the light component tower 2 enter the first reboiler 21 through the first inlet pipeline 211. After being heated again in the first reboiler 21, the components with lower boiling points are vaporized and then re-enter the light component tower 2 through the first outlet pipeline 212 for separation. The heavier heavy components remain in the first reboiler 21. The heavier heavy components can be discharged from the first reboiler 21 through the heavy component outlet pipeline 213 and flow within the first reboiler 21, reducing the deposition of heavy components on the heating tubes within the first reboiler 21 and preventing carbon buildup.
[0027] Furthermore, a transfer pump (not shown in the figure) is installed on the heavy component extraction pipeline 213, a second solenoid valve 2141 is installed on the discharge pipeline 214, and a third solenoid valve 2151 is installed on the heavy component tower feed pipeline 215. The flow rate of the heavy component entering the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 can be controlled by controlling the second solenoid valve 2141, and the flow rate of the heavy component entering the heavy component tower 5 can be controlled by controlling the third solenoid valve 2151. A first solenoid valve 2131 is also installed on the heavy component extraction pipeline 213 for emergency discharge.
[0028] Furthermore, the other end of the light component extraction pipeline 22 is connected to a light component storage tank 4, which is used to store the light component extracted from the light component extraction pipeline 22 at the top of the light component tower 2. The other end of the phthalic anhydride extraction pipeline 23 is connected to a phthalic anhydride storage tank 3, which is used to store the finished phthalic anhydride extracted from the phthalic anhydride extraction pipeline 23. In some embodiments, the phthalic anhydride storage tank 3 is equipped with a heat preservation device to store the phthalic anhydride in a liquid state.
[0029] Furthermore, the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 is equipped with a heating coil. By heating, the crude phthalic anhydride to be refined stored in the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1 is stored in a liquid state, which facilitates its transfer to the light component tower 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the upper part of the heavy fractionation tower 5 is equipped with a heavy fractionation tower outlet pipeline 52, the other end of which is connected to an intermediate storage tank 6. The phthalic anhydride-containing component in the heavy fractionation tower 5 is extracted from the heavy fractionation tower outlet pipeline 52 and stored in the intermediate storage tank 6. The intermediate storage tank 6 is also equipped with a crude phthalic anhydride tank replenishment pipeline 61, the other end of which is connected to the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1, so that the phthalic anhydride-containing component stored in the intermediate storage tank 6 can be transported to the crude phthalic anhydride tank 1. The bottom of the heavy fractionation tower 5 is equipped with a second reboiler 51, which is equipped with a second inlet pipeline 511 and a second outlet pipeline 512. The liquid at the bottom of the heavy fractionation tower 5 enters the second reboiler 51 from the second inlet pipeline 511, vaporizes, and then enters the heavy fractionation tower 5 from the second outlet pipeline 512 for separation. The bottom of the recombining column 5 is also equipped with a residual liquid collection pipeline 53. The other end of the residual liquid collection pipeline 53 is connected to a residual liquid storage tank 7. The residual liquid in the recombining column 5 can be collected through the residual liquid collection pipeline 53 and stored in the residual liquid storage tank 7.
[0031] The phthalic anhydride distillation apparatus for reducing coking in the reboiler of the light component tower provided by this utility model has a heavy component extraction pipeline 213 installed at the bottom of the light component tower 2, and a transfer pump installed on the heavy component extraction pipeline 213. By controlling the start and stop of the pump, the heavy components enriched at the bottom of the light component tower 2 can be intermittently transported out of the bottom of the light component tower 2 and liquid flow can be achieved in the first reboiler 21. This can reduce the deposition of heavy components in the first reboiler 21 and reduce the formation of carbon deposits after heating.
[0032] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
