Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for separating benzene and toluene from a hydrocarbon mixture, and belongs to the technical field of chemical industry. According to the method, the middle portion of a rectification tower for separation of non-aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene and toluene is provided with a vertical wall, the upper portion and the lower portion of the separation wall do not contact the top and the bottom of the tower, the upper portion on a benzene and toluene outlet side of the separation wall is sealed, and is not connected with the top space, the tower is divided into three regions such as A, B and C through the separation wall, non-aromatic hydrocarbons are recovered from the top of the region A, benzene and toluene are recovered from the region B side, the region C is a public stripping section, and column plates or fillers are arranged inside the three regions. According to the present invention, material feeding and side line recovery are separated through the separation wall, and high purity components are respectively obtained from three positions such as tower top, side line recovery and tower kettle of the separation wall extraction rectification tower, wherein the product purity can be more than 99.7%, and energy can be saved by more than 20% compared with the conventional process, such that the process is simple, operation is convenient, investment on one tower is saved, and cost can be significantly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for separating benzene and toluene from hydrocarbon mixtures by using a partition wall extractive distillation tower, which belongs to the technical field of chemical industry. Background technique [0002] Aromatics are important petrochemical raw materials, among which benzene, toluene and xylene are the most important. The source of aromatics is mainly from catalytic reforming to generate oil or cracking hydrogenated gasoline. The methods for separating aromatics mainly include liquid-liquid extraction and extractive distillation (extractive distillation). Different production requirements determine the use of different technological processes. Liquid-liquid extraction is often used to process raw materials with an aromatics content of less than 70%, and when the aromatics content is greater than 70%, it is necessary to mix non-aromatic products with the raw material to reduce the aromatics content of the extracti...
