Problems solved by technology

However, the operating pressure of the pressurized tower in this process is very high (usually above 0.7MPa), and when the pressure rises, the relative volatility of methanol-water, methanol-ethanol, etc. decreases, and the difficulty of separation increases, resulting in increased The heat load of the pressure column increases, which to a certain extent weakens the energy-saving advantage brought by the double-effect distillation, making the energy consumption of the existing "three-tower process" still relatively high

Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-purpose distilling method and device to refine rough carbinol through decompression adverse current, which consists of a decompression tower (1) and a micro-pressurization tower (7), wherein the decompression tower (1) is front-effect and the micro-pressurization tower (7) is back-effect; the carbinol steaming at top of the micro-pressurization tower is aerated into condensation / reboiler (5) to chill, which can be heat source of tower kettle liquid of the decompression tower. The invention utilizes not only the energy-saving theory of dual-purpose distillation but the character of facilitating to increase relative volatility of relevant architecture of the rough carbinol by pressure reduction efficiently, which reduces energy consumption during refining process to a much more degree.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vacuum countercurrent double-effect rectification method and equipment for refining crude methanol. Background technique [0002] Methanol is an extremely important organic chemical raw material. In developed countries, its output is second only to ethylene, propylene and benzene. It is known as the third largest basic organic chemical raw material except olefins and aromatics. In recent years, with the successful development of methanol-to-olefins (MTO or MTP) technology, the scale of methanol plants has increased rapidly, and its energy-saving issues have become increasingly important. Methanol rectification is the key link to obtain refined methanol, but there is a problem of high energy consumption. [0003] The traditional methanol distillation process adopts a double-tower process consisting of a pre-tower (light removal tower) and a main tower (methanol rectification tower). Although the process is simple and the inve...
