Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for improving the water quality of the dehydration tower of a high purity terephthalic acid unit, and more particularly to a system and method for purifying and utilizing oxidation exhaust gas condensate in the PTA industrial production process. [Background technology]
[0002] In the preparation and production process of PTA (high purity terephthalic acid), exhaust gas condensate is purified. The purification of exhaust gas condensate currently generally uses the extraction method, that is, the purified mother liquor (condensate) of the PTA purification unit is heated with medium pressure steam, and then added to the extraction tower with the extractant paraxylylene (PX, hereinafter referred to as PX) for extraction. The extractant PX is used to extract the solutes (organic parts such as acetic acid, PT acid, etc.) in the original solvent into PX to form a PX extraction phase, among which the PX extraction phase returns to the oxidation reactor to continue reaction. For the raffinate phase (purified mother liquor after the separation of organic parts such as acetic acid, PT acid, etc. in the original solvent) the traditional dehydration tower is used to complete the rectification process and realize the exchange of water and acetic acid. The acetic acid vapor is condensed as acetic acid condensate, and the bottom of the dehydration tower is returned to the reactor to continue reaction, and the water is vaporized into water vapor. The oxidation exhaust gas is discharged from the top of the dehydration tower to the condenser for heat recovery, and the water vapor is condensed into condensate for other purposes. However, the above method has some problems: 1. The above technology uses PX extraction technology, the extraction flow is complicated, the system is huge, and the cost is high; 2. The purified mother liquor is the original solution. In the extraction process, in order to prevent the extraction tower from being blocked, the mother liquor needs to be heated. The heating requires medium pressure steam of 3.5-4.5 MPa (G), which results in very high steam consumption, and this medium pressure steam needs to be supplied from the outside world, which greatly increases the energy consumption and operation cost of the equipment; 3. The extraction process is a mass transfer process between PX organic phase and aqueous phase. Due to the existence of the organic phase, the safety requirements of the system are higher than those of the aqueous phase, and the construction cost increases. Summary of the Invention

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the dashed box contains an oxidation reactor (01) for producing PTA. PT and air are introduced into the oxidation reactor (01) containing acetic acid and the like, and reacted to obtain a reaction liquid. The reaction liquid is washed and other procedures are performed to obtain reactants and purified mother liquor. The purified mother liquor contains a large amount of organic moieties such as acetic acid and PT acid, so in the treatment system provided by the present invention, the purified mother liquor is used as the spray liquid for the third-stage purified mother liquor washing unit. In addition, since the reaction is an exothermic reaction, a large amount of heat energy is released during the reaction process, and part of the reaction solution (reaction exhaust gas) is discharged upward from the pipe. One of the objects of the present invention is to enrich the reaction exhaust gas, change it into a liquid form, and then return it to the oxidation reactor (01).

[0026] The reaction exhaust gas is discharged from the bottom of the oxidation reactor (01) and then introduced into the dehydration and washing device 1, with the inlet located below the third-stage purified mother liquor washing unit 13. During the upward flow of the reaction exhaust gas, it is first sprayed and washed with purified mother liquor through the third-stage purified mother liquor washing unit 13, then sprayed and washed with concentrated water through the second-stage concentrated water washing unit 12, and finally sprayed and washed with purified water through the first-stage purified water washing unit 11. After three sprays and washings, most of the organic parts in the reaction exhaust gas, such as acetic acid and PT acid, are collected at the bottom of the dehydration and washing device 1, and the enriched liquid of this part is returned to the oxidation reactor (01) by the action of the circulation pump 14 to continue to react. The reaction exhaust gas after washing, which contains a small amount of organic parts such as acetic acid and PT acid, is discharged from the top of the dehydration and washing device 1 and enters the next process for other treatment.

[0030] In FIG. 1, after the reaction exhaust gas cleaned by the dehydration tower is discharged from the top of the exhaust gas condenser 2, it first enters the first stage oxidation exhaust gas condenser, and then enters the other subsequent oxidation exhaust gas condensers in sequence. In the process of flowing through these oxidation exhaust gas condensers, it exchanges heat with the cold water flowing in from the cold water inlet 211, and then the temperature of the cold water rises, but the temperature of the reaction exhaust gas in the oxidation exhaust gas condenser decreases, and some of it turns into condensate, the first condensate. The first condensate generated in each stage of the oxidation exhaust gas condenser flows through a pipeline to the first high-temperature condensate drum 4, and after condensation in the first oxidation exhaust gas condensation system 21, the reaction exhaust gas then enters the second oxidation exhaust gas condensation system 22 to continue condensing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the evaporation unit includes a first effect evaporation unit 31 and a second effect evaporation unit 32, etc., and the first effect evaporation unit 31 includes a second condensate inlet 311 and a first heat exchange chamber 312, and the second condensate inlet 311 is located at the bottom of the first effect evaporation unit 31. The second steam is introduced into the first heat exchange chamber 312 through the second steam pipe 221 to provide a heat source for heat exchange. The second condensate exchanges heat with the second steam in the first heat exchange chamber 312, and a part of the second condensate is vaporized, thereby realizing separation of water and other organic matter. The first heat exchange chamber The second effect evaporator unit 32 includes a second heat exchange chamber 321, a second steam passage 323 for the gas phase to pass through after the condensate has been heat exchanged and a second downcomer 324 for the liquid phase to pass through, and a second loop device 325 is provided at the bottom of the second downcomer 324. The second effect evaporator unit 32 includes a second heat exchange chamber 321, a second steam passage 323 for the gas phase to pass through after the condensate has been heat exchanged and a second downcomer 324 for the liquid phase to pass through, and a second loop device 325 is provided at the bottom of the second downcomer 324. A first condensate passage 326 for the condensate to pass through to the next effect after heat exchange is provided below the second heat exchange chamber 32, and a first U-shaped tube 327 is provided at the bottom of the first condensate passage 326. The first loop device 325 is located between the second heat exchange chamber and the second mist eliminator. The steam entering the water separation tower is preferably steam of 0.05 MPa (G), and may be steam of 0.05 to 0.5 MPa (G) generated by an oxidation exhaust gas condenser at any stage, or may be steam introduced from the outside.
[0034] In the water separation tower, the second condensate is continuously separated and purified. The vacuum pump 36 located at the bottom is opened, the second condensate enters the first heat exchange chamber 312 through the second condensate inlet 311 to prepare for evaporation, the second steam enters the pipe in the first heat exchange chamber 312 through the second steam pipe 221, and in the first heat exchange chamber 312, the second steam and the second condensate exchange heat, a part of the second condensate evaporates and flows upward into the first steam passage 313, and the part that does not evaporate enters the first downcomer 314 and continues to evaporate in the next effect evaporation unit, or remains in the first loop device 315. The steam that enters the pipes of the second effect evaporator unit 32 through the first steam passage 313 exchanges heat with the condensate flowing out from the first downcomer 314 as a heat source, and the heat source of the steam flows into the condensate. Finally, the steam cools and flows out from the first condensate passage 326, part of which is collected in the first U-shaped tube 327, and finally flows into the purified water storage area at the bottom. The first loop device 315 and the first U-shaped tube 327 separate each effect unit. In this way, under the action of the vacuum pump 36, the pressure becomes lower and lower from top to bottom. Therefore, the first loop device 315 performs self-evaporation through the action of pressure difference and heat exchange, thereby realizing the separation of water from other substances. After separation, the purified water is discharged through a pipe from the purified water outlet 35, and when passing through the purified water heat exchanger 352, it exchanges heat with the first high-temperature condensate, and the temperature of the purified water is increased, and then sprays the reaction exhaust gas as the cleaning liquid of the first-stage purified water washing unit; the concentrated water is discharged through a pipe from the concentrated water outlet 34, and when passing through the concentrated water heat exchanger 351, it sprays and washes the reaction exhaust gas as the cleaning liquid of the first-stage concentrated water washing unit. The concentrated water generated in the novel water separation tower can enter the dehydration tower, and can further be used as a crude terephthalic acid (abbreviated as CTA in English, hereinafter referred to as CTA) solvent to replace the cleaning liquid of the plant.
[0035] In the whole system, as shown in the figure, various kinds of pumps or valves can be rationally installed according to actual needs to achieve the smoothness of the system.
