Abstract

The invention relates to a mono-ethylene glycol purification and recovery method and aims to mainly solve the problems of complexity, low separation purity, large investment and high energy consumption of existing separation processes. The mono-ethylene glycol purification and recovery method includes: taking a mixture containing water, MEG (mono-ethylene glycol), DEG (diethylene glycol) and TEG (triethylene glycol) as raw materials, enabling the raw materials to enter one side of a dividing-wall section of a dividing-wall distillation column for separation, withdrawing recovered MEG products from the other side of the dividing-wall section, obtaining material flow containing the DEG and the TEG from the bottom of a stripping section below the dividing-wall section of the dividing-wall distillation column, obtaining material flow containing the water and the MEG from the top of a distillation section above the dividing-wall section of the dividing-wall distillation column, and performing side withdrawing to obtain MEG products from the distillation section above the dividing-wall section of the dividing-wall distillation column. According to the technical scheme, the mono-ethylene glycol purification and recovery method well solves the above technical problems and can be used for purification and recovery of mono-ethylene glycol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for purifying and recovering monoethylene glycol. Background technique [0002] In the traditional ethylene glycol separation technology route, the mixture of water, monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol is separated in the MEG rectification tower, and the product MEG is produced from the side line of the tower, dehydrated at the top of the tower, and discharged from the bottom of the tower Mainly a mixture of MEG, DEG and TEG. The discharge from the bottom of the MEG distillation tower enters the MEG recovery tower to recover most of the MEG. The top of the MEG recovery tower mainly produces MEG and a small amount of DEG, and the discharge from the bottom of the tower is mainly composed of DEG and TEG. [0003] The dividing wall rectification column is a complete heat integration tower with a new structure that divides the column into four parts: the upper section, the lower section, the rec...
