The invention discloses a
separation method and a separation device of a synthesis gas
ethylene glycol product. The
separation method comprises the steps of 1), allowing the raw synthesis gas
ethylene glycol product to enter an
effluent fraction
tower, obtaining a light component, a mixture of methyl glycolate and
dimethyl oxalate, and a heavy component respectively, 2), allowing the light component to enter a dividing wall rectifying
tower, extracting
methanol from the
tower top, extracting an
ethanol solution containing little water from a side line, 3), allowing the mixture containing methyl glycolate and
dimethyl oxalate to enter a common rectifying tower, extracting methyl glycolate from the tower top, extracting
dimethyl oxalate from a tower kettle, 4), allowing the heavy component to enter a scraper molecular
evaporation tower I, extracting
ethylene glycol from an inner wall of the tower, extracting a mixture of 1,2-
propylene glycol and 1,2-
butanediol from an outer wall, allowing partial mixing solution to return to the scraper molecular
evaporation tower I, allowing partial mixing solution to return to a scraper molecular
evaporation tower II, and 5), extracting 1,2-
propylene glycol from an inner wall of the scraper molecular evaporation tower II, and extracting 1,2-
butanediol from an outer wall of the scraper molecular evaporation tower II. According to the method and the device, each product is separated effectively, and the method has the characteristics of simple technology and low
energy consumption.
