The invention relates to a BYD (1, 4-butynediol) rectification process and
system, and solves the problems of
high energy consumption and high steam and circulating
water consumption in the existing BYD rectification process. The rectification process comprises the following steps: preheating a
mixed solution containing 1, 4-butynediol,
methanol, water and
formaldehyde from an ethynylation reactor through a feed preheater, feeding the preheated
mixed solution into a stripping
tower for stripping, and leading out
tower kettle liquid of a
tower kettle of the stripping tower through a
liquid phase outlet, feeding into the feed preheater, carrying out indirect heat exchange with the
mixed solution, and further cooling by a stripping tower kettle
discharge cooler to obtain a BYD product; a
gas phase at the top of the stripping tower is led out through a
gas phase outlet, is firstly fed into a compressor for pressurizing and heating, then is fed into a stripping tower
reboiler for heat exchange and
heat energy recovery, then enters a stripping tower
reflux tank, and is fed into an
alcohol tower for rectification through a
reflux pump. The method has the advantages of simple process, energy saving, consumption reduction, low operation cost, effective
recovery of tower top
heat energy, saving of a large amount of cooling water, and high product concentration.
