Problems solved by technology

When the water content in the feed of the azeotropic distillation tower is high, due to the high vaporization heat of water, if the azeotropic distillation process is directly used, the required amount of steam will be large, resulting in high energy consumption of the device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for processing a solvent and byproducts in aromatic carboxylic acid production. The processed raw materials comprise a solvent, namely acetic acid and byproducts, namely methylacetate and water in the aromatic carboxylic acid production; and an extraction column, an azeotropic distillation column, a solvent recovery column, a catalytic distillation column and a four-element component separating column are involved in the whole process flow. In the method, the methylacetate of little value can be hydrolyzed into the acetic acid and methanol, so the single consumption of the acetic acid can be reduced in a PTA production process and the economic value of the device is improved; the water used in the methylacetate hydrolysis is taken from the waste water generated from acetic acid concentration, so water resource is effectively utilized, treatment capacity of the waste water is reduced, and the production cost is lowered; and besides, the using amount ofthe entrainer is reduced and the consumption is correspondingly reduced, so the method has the characteristics of high efficiency, energy conservation and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for comprehensively treating solvents and by-products in the production of aromatic carboxylic acids. Background technique [0002] Purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is the main raw material for producing polyester fiber. Its main production process is to use p-xylene as raw material, acetic acid as solvent, cobalt acetate and manganese as catalyst, and hydrobromic acid as accelerator. React with oxygen in the air under pressure to generate crude terephthalic acid, and then refine it to get PTA. In order for the oxidation reaction to proceed normally, the solvent dehydration unit must remove the water produced by the oxidation reaction, the water entrained by the compressed air, and the water added to the oxidation tail gas from the system in time, and at the same time recover acetic acid from the water as much as possible to reduce the consumption of acetic acid . In the process of p-xylene oxidation, the incomplete ...
