Problems solved by technology

The three-tower process is adopted under normal pressure, which consumes a lot of energy and affects economic benefits
This is because each component of the C9 aromatics in the feed is a series of isomers, and the difference in boiling point between each other is small. The difference between the boiling points of mesitylene and o-methylethylbenzene is 4.2°C, and the difference between the boiling points of mesitylene and o-methylethylbenzene is 0.5°C. The separation is difficult and requires a large number of theoretical plates in each column, so the investment and operating costs of the device are relatively high

Embodiment 1

[0021] The pre-separation tower, the mesitylene tower and the partial toluene tower all use metal mesh corrugated packing. The thermal coupling process is to realize thermal coupling between the pre-separation tower and the mesitylene tower and the partial toluene tower, as shown in Figure 2. The C9 aromatic hydrocarbon raw material 4 enters the pre-separation tower 1 after heat exchange by the heat exchanger 5, and the pre-separation tower is operated at 30KPa, and the temperature at the top of the tower is controlled at 100°C. The top of the tower is connected to a vacuum device 8, and the gas phase at the top of the tower passes through a condenser 6 Then enter the reflux tank 7, wherein the condensate is partly refluxed, partly as light solvent oil A out of bounds. The pressure of the mesitylene tower is controlled at 100KPa, and the temperature at the top of the tower is controlled above 150°C, so that the gas phase at the top of the tower is used as the heat source of th...

The thermal coupling process is to realize thermal coupling between the pre-separation tower and the mesitylene tower and the partial toluene tower, as shown in Figure 2. The C9 aromatic hydrocarbon raw material 4 enters the pre-separation tower 1 after heat exchange by the heat exchanger 5. The pre-separation tower is operated at 50KPa, and the temperature at the top of the tower is controlled at 130°C.

Abstract

The present invention relates to serial trimethyl benzene separating apparatus and method. The serial trimethyl benzene separating apparatus includes a pre-separating tower, a sym-trimethyl benzene tower and an unsym-trimethyl benzene tower, and features the condensator on the pre-separating tower connected to the outlet of the pre-separating tower, the reflux accumulator connected to the condensator and one vacuum unit, the reboiler in the bottom of the pre-separating tower connected between the outlet and the inlet of the sym-trimethyl benzene tower. The present invention adopts a serial three-tower process, can produce unsym-trimethyl benzene in purity over 99 % and sym-trimethyl benzene in purity over 35 % simultaneously in the yield over 90 % and power consumption 30 %-40 % lower than one normal pressure process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fine chemical separation technology, in particular to a trimethylbenzene serial separation device and method. Background technique [0002] Trimethylbenzene and other carbon nine-fold aromatics are mainly derived from refinery reforming units, among which metatrimethylbenzene and mesitylene are important fine chemical products with high added value. Among them, trimethylene is widely used as a basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used for isomerization to produce mesitylene and synthesis of trimellitic anhydride. Using enriched mesitylene as raw material to carry out catalytic alkylation reaction, high-purity mesitylene can be obtained, and mesitylene can be used to produce mesitylene, and can also be used as a dye intermediate. [0003] Most of the domestic trimethylbenzene separation processes adopt an atmospheric pressure double-tower process, which only produces mesitylene...
