The invention relates to a process and a device for separating higher
aliphatic alcohol from
rice bran wax by digital
simulation and optimization assisted
batch distillation. The high-vacuum
batch distillation technology is used for separating and purifying higher
aliphatic alcohol, single-
tower operation is adopted, the equipment investment is small, the operation is flexible, the
raw material application range is wide, auxiliary operation is simulated and optimized, the
reflux ratio and the distillate amount of each fraction section are mainly controlled, the composition required by each fraction section is obtained, on-demand production is realized, and the production cost is reduced. Stable operation of the rectification process is maintained by controlling the
pressure difference between the
tower top and the
tower bottom, the production process is easy and convenient to control, and the
automation and intelligence level is high; a condenser at the top of the rectifying tower adopts an evaporative condenser, water is used as an
evaporation medium for material condensation, and the
boiling point of the water is 100 DEG C and is higher than the
melting point of the higher
fatty alcohol, so that the problem of blockage caused by easy
crystallization of the higher
fatty alcohol due to higher
melting point is solved. Equipment is simple, operation is flexible,
raw material application range is wide, and operation is simple and reliable.
