Description

Method for preparing ethanol by hydrogenation of acetic ester with recycled hydrogen
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for producing ethanol. In particular, the invention relates to a method for synthesizing ethanol by acetic ester gas phase hydrogenation by recycling hydrogen through pressure swing adsorption. Belongs to the technical field of chemical industry.
Background
Ethanol (CH)3CH2OH) is an important chemical raw material, and is widely used for producing and manufacturing paint, coating, printing ink, medicines, food and the like in the fields of chemical industry and other industries; meanwhile, ethanol is an important clean energy source, has high oxygen content, high vaporization latent heat and good anti-explosion performance, has the excellent characteristics of more complete combustion, lower CO emission and the like when being used as vehicle fuel, and has been popularized and approved worldwide.
The national condition that the energy distribution in China is 'lean oil and rich coal' and the petroleum resources are relatively deficient restricts the development of the process route for synthesizing the ethanol by taking the petroleum as the raw material. The coal price is relatively cheap compared to the oil price at a high level. In recent years, the scale of domestic coal chemical industry is rapidly enlarged, so that the price of the acetic acid product in the coal chemical industry is continuously reduced. Therefore, the development of the process technology for preparing the ethanol by hydrogenation of the acetic ester by taking the coal as the raw material can fully exert the advantage of rich coal resources in China.
The reported process for preparing ethanol by catalytic hydrogenation by taking acetate as a raw material adopts more Cu-series catalysts at present, the conversion rate of the acetate in the reaction can reach more than 95 percent, and the selectivity of the ethanol can reach more than 97 percent. In order to effectively inhibit side reactions, hydrogen needs to be greatly excessive in the reaction, and the molar ratio of the hydrogen to the acetic ester is generally 20-100: 1. In the conventional production process, a large amount of unreacted hydrogen (containing a small amount of inert components and byproducts) circulates in a circulation loop of a reaction system, so that in order to ensure that the inert components and the hydrogenation byproducts are accumulated in the circulating gas to influence the hydrogenation reaction effect, the circulating gas needs to be partially discharged. The fresh hydrogen addition amount caused by the purge is obviously higher than the fresh hydrogen amount required by the hydrogenation reaction, so that a great deal of waste of hydrogen is caused. Meanwhile, the reaction product is cooled to normal temperature at least to condense and separate the condensable components, and then the separated low-temperature circulating hydrogen, fresh hydrogen and circulating hydrogen are reheated and enter the reactor, so that a large amount of heat is consumed, and huge economic loss is caused.

Detailed Description
The invention is illustrated below with reference to specific examples. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.
Examples
The following describes an embodiment with reference to fig. 1. 3.5L of hydrogenation Cu catalyst is loaded in the middle of the hydrogenation reactor 24, ceramic rings with the same particle size as the catalyst are arranged at two ends of the reactor, ethyl acetate is used as a raw material, and the reaction pressure of the hydrogenation reaction is 2.5MPa (gauge pressure).
Acetic ester 1 is pumped into an acetic ester preheater 20 by a high-pressure liquid feed pump, wherein the feed rate of acetic ester 1 is 2.65kg/h, is subjected to heat exchange preheating with the high-temperature product gas 9 from the hydrogenation reactor 24 in the acetic ester preheater 20, and is heated to 240 ℃ in the acetic ester preheater 20 to obtain a pre-heaterThe hot acetic ester 3, the preheated acetic ester 3 enters the bottom of the vaporizer 22. In the reaction, mixed hydrogen 4 obtained by mixing fresh hydrogen 2 and circulating hydrogen 16 is fed into a hydrogen preheater 21, and high-temperature hydrogen 5 with the temperature of 220 ℃ is obtained after heat exchange, wherein the flow rate of the mixed hydrogen 4 is 48m3H is used as the reference value. In the initial stage of the reaction, the recycle gas 14 is directly vented, the recycle hydrogen 16 starts to be fed after the system is stabilized, and the molar ratio of the hydrogen to the acetic ester is kept about 70:1 by adjusting the amount of the fresh hydrogen 2 in the reaction process.
The high temperature hydrogen 5, preheated acetate 3 and, optionally, incompletely vaporized acetate 7 (indicated by a dotted line) are mixed in a vaporizer 22 and vaporized by medium pressure steam at a pressure of 3-5MPa and a temperature of 300-500 ℃ and heated to 250 ℃. After heat exchange, most of the acetic ester is gasified and discharged from the top of the gas-liquid separator 23 with the hydrogen to enter the next process, and the gas-liquid separator 23 returns a very small amount of incompletely gasified acetic ester 7 to the bottom of the gasifier 22 for cyclic gasification operation. Meanwhile, the method controls the opening degree of a temperature control valve 30 by sensing the temperature through a temperature sensor 29 so as to control the medium-pressure steam amount and control the temperature of the raw material gas 8 at the inlet of the hydrogenation reactor 24, wherein the temperature is controlled to be 250 ℃, and the mole fraction of hydrogen is 96.6%, the mole fraction of acetate is 1.4%, and the mole fraction of other components such as nitrogen is 2.0%. The raw material gas 8 enters a hydrogenation reactor 24 to contact and react with a Cu catalyst to obtain high-temperature product gas 9. The conversion rate of the acetic ester is analyzed to be 98.5%, and the components in the high-temperature product gas 9 at the outlet of the hydrogenation reactor 24 are calculated according to the mole fraction: 95.1 percent of hydrogen, 0.3 percent of acetic ester, 2.6 percent of ethanol, 2.0 percent of water, nitrogen and other components. Since the reaction is exothermic, the temperature of the high temperature product gas 9 rises to 270 ℃ at the outlet of the hydrogenation reactor 24. The high-temperature product gas 9 and the acetic ester 1 are cooled to 242 ℃ after heat exchange in the hydrogen preheater 20, and the cooled product gas 10 enters the hydrogen preheater 21 to be cooled to 82 ℃ after heat exchange with the mixed hydrogen 4, so that the cooled product gas 11 is obtained. The cooled product gas 11 is cooled to 40 ℃ by circulating water in a circulating water heat exchanger 25 to obtain a gas-liquid two-phase product gas-liquid 12.
The gas-liquid two-phase product gas-liquid 12 enters a product gas-liquid separator 26 for gas-liquid separation to obtain a circulating gas 14 and an initial product 13. The outlet temperature of the top gas (recycle gas 14) of the product gas-liquid separator 26 is 40 ℃, wherein the gas comprises the following components in mole fraction: 96.9% of hydrogen, 0.1% of acetic ester, 0.8% of ethanol, 2.1% of water, nitrogen and other components; the temperature of the bottom liquid phase initial product 13 is 40 ℃, wherein the liquid phase initial product 13 comprises the following components in molar fraction: 0.2 percent of hydrogen, 0.6 percent of acetic ester, 94.7 percent of ethanol, 4.4 percent of water, nitrogen and other components. Separating the initial product 13 by using a gas-liquid separator 31 of a low-pressure product to obtain a product 18, wherein the temperature of the product is 40 ℃, and the components in the product 18 comprise the following components in molar fraction: 0.06% of hydrogen, 0.6% of acetic ester, 95.2% of ethanol, 4.2% of water, nitrogen and other components.
The recycle gas 14 is subjected to a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit 27 to remove organic substances therein, so as to obtain relatively pure hydrogen (i.e., a pressure swing adsorbed product gas 15), which comprises the following components in terms of mole fraction: 99.8 percent of hydrogen, 0.2 percent of nitrogen and other components. The pressure of the recycle gas is increased by a recycle compressor 28 to obtain recycle hydrogen 16 which is returned to the system for reaction.
According to the analysis results, the average conversion rate of acetic ester is 98.5%, and the average selectivity of ethanol is 98.8%.
In the prior art, a large amount of unreacted hydrogen (containing a small amount of inert components and byproducts) circulates in a circulation loop of a reaction system, so that in order to ensure that the inert components and the hydrogenation byproducts are accumulated in the circulation gas to influence the hydrogenation reaction effect, the circulation gas needs to be partially exhausted, and the volume ratio of the exhaustion to the circulation is generally 0.08-0.1. However, based on the amount of feed in this example, the prior art using purge mode needs to make up fresh hydrogen amount of 2m3The invention only needs to supplement fresh hydrogen with the amount of 0.75m by adopting the mode of PSA recycling hydrogen3And/h, the fresh hydrogen amount can be saved by about 60 percent by adopting the process through calculation.
Likewise, ethanol production by prior art processes requires heating of the recycle hydrogen and acetate,at the same time, the reaction product must be cooled. In this process, the heat load Q =3.5Kw for heating the recycle hydrogen and acetate or cooling the reaction product, and the required 3.4MPa (absolute) superheated steam (temperature 430 ℃ C.) is about 5kgh-1Or 137kgh-1. Based on the product amount, a steam amount of about 2kg/kg product or a circulating water amount of about 40kg/kg product is required, here according to example 2.65kgh of the present invention-1Is calculated from the capacity of the raw material feed (corresponding to a pilot scale of 20 tons of ethanol produced annually). However, the method of the present invention does not require the heating and cooling steps in the above calculation, and therefore can save the amount of steam and the amount of circulating water equal to the amount of heating and cooling steam and the amount of circulating water calculated above.
