Problems solved by technology

[0004] In order to further reduce the energy consumption of the solvent dehydration process and the loss of the entrainer in the aromatic hydrocarbon production process, and reduce the impact of the decomposition of the entrainer on the quality of the aromatic hydrocarbon product, the present invention directly uses one of the reactants as the dilute acetic acid to concentrate the aromatic hydrocarbon The extraction agent and the entrainer of acetic acid dehydration are significantly different from the existing extraction-azeotropic process using esters as the extractant and the azeotropic distillation process using aromatic hydrocarbons as the entrainer. The present invention not only It solves the problem of extraction agent / azeotrope decomposition loss and product quality in the existing extraction-azeotropic process, and can also solve the problem of high energy consumption in the azeotropic distillation process

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for dewatering a solvent during an aromatic acid production process. According to the present invention, an aromatic hydrocarbon for aromatic acid production is adopted as a solvent, the acetic acid in the acetic acid aqueous solution produced during the aromatic acid production process is recovered through an extraction-azeotropic coupling process, and the used equipment in the whole process comprises an extraction tower, an azeotropic rectification tower, an oil-water separation tank, an azeotropic agent refining tower, and a methyl acetate recovery tower; and with the method of the present invention, the load of the acetic acid azeotropic rectification tower can be effectively reduced and the steam consumption of the acetic acid azeotropic rectification tower can be reduced, and the PTA production capacity can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for solvent dehydration in the production process of aromatic carboxylic acid. Background technique [0002] The solvent dehydration system is an important unit in the production process of aromatic acids, which is used to recover the solvent acetic acid required for the oxidation reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons. At present, the azeotropic distillation process is commonly used in industry to recover acetic acid. With the improvement of the process, an acetic acid extraction device is introduced in the aromatic acid production process, and the dilute acetic acid produced in the oxidation system is extracted and separated from water with a solvent, and then added Acetic acid azeotropic distillation column to obtain acetic acid with higher purity. This can not only effectively reduce the load of the acetic acid azeotropic rectification tower, but also reduce the steam consumption of the acetic acid azeotropic rectifica...
