The invention discloses a method for efficiently extracting
phenol from
coal tar and primarily separating crude
phenol oil, and relates to the technical field of
chemical separation. Carrying out multi-stage cross-flow or counter-flow extraction on the extracting agent and the
coal tar to obtain a
raffinate phase and a high-concentration extraction phase; and mixing the
raffinate with condensate at the top of the regeneration device and supplemented
fresh water, and recovering residual organic amine through a reverse extraction device to obtain a dephenolized oil product and
backwashing water. Mixing and diluting the extract phase with
backwashing water, and standing for
phase splitting to obtain a high-grade crude
phenol oil phase and a low-concentration extract phase; the low-concentration extraction phase absorbs CO2 in the industrial
tail gas for acidification to obtain a low-grade crude phenol
oil phase and an amine salt
aqueous solution; and desorbing the amine salt
aqueous solution to obtain a regenerated extraction agent (circularly used for extraction),
tower top condensate (circularly used for reverse extraction) and water-containing industrial-grade CO2 gas (recycled or sealed after
drying). According to the method, high-efficiency extraction of the phenolic compounds in the
coal tar and primary separation of crude carbolic oil are realized by utilizing the extraction performance differences of extraction capacities, selectivity and the like of the extraction agents with different concentrations on the phenolic compounds, and the production economy is improved.
