Technical field
The method and the depropanizing tower system that the present invention relates to remove and recycle in a kind of preparing propylene from methanol (MTP) technique dme (DME), belong to Coal Chemical Industry, gas chemical industry field.
Background technology
Low-carbon alkene (ethene, propylene etc.) is as important basic chemical raw materials, the catalytic cracking/cracking of main source and petroleum naphtha, solar oil (all from oil).China's oil shortage of resources, petroleum import interdependency increases year by year, has limited to a certain extent the development of producing ethene and propylene product with petrochemical industry route.
The market has openings of China's ethene and propylene is larger, and at present, owing to being subject to the impact of ethane cracking ethene processed, the market has openings of domestic ethene dwindles gradually, and the market has openings of propylene is still very large.Only depend on propylene that petroleum cracking route produces to can not meet the demand in market far away, the new technology of therefore developing propylene enhancing is extremely urgent to expand propylene source, and preparing propylene from methanol technology is one of important method solving this present situation.
Mainly contain MTO and MTP by the Technology of preparing low carbon olefinic hydrocarbon with methanol.MTO (Methanol to Olefin) refers to by preparing low carbon olefinic hydrocarbon with methanol (ethene and propylene).MTP (Methanol to Propylene) refers to by methyl alcohol preparing propone.At present, two kinds of techniques have industrial applications, respectively have its advantage.Adopt these Technology preparing low-carbon olefins, as the important supplement means of traditional petrochemical industry route ethene processed, for the China of many coals, oil-poor, weak breath, will there is very important strategic importance.
The patented technology in this field of report is a lot of both at home and abroad at present, and as Chinese patent CN202246473, CN101050160A etc., mainly lay particular emphasis on MTP, MTO Technology aspect.What CN202246473 patent solved is the Moisture Content of propylene product, and CN101050160A patent discloses the alkene with 3 carbon atoms from having the method for separation of olefins of 4 carbon atoms.How dme in MTP technique (DME) removes and recycle this vital problem from propylene product but report.The boiling point of DME and propylene, propane approach, and are difficult to separate by traditional rectifying tower, if the propylene product of preparation is because containing DME impurity, are subject to huge restriction by making to prepare low-carbon alkene technology taking methyl alcohol as source, and the benefit of propylene product will greatly reduce.Develop the process of industrialization that a kind of process system simple, that DME removes and recycles efficiently can advance from aspects such as energy consumption, process cost, costs of equipment methanol-to-olefins technology.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide the method and system that remove and recycle dme (DME) in a kind of simple preparing propylene from methanol (MTP) technique efficiently.The hydro carbons that wherein contains three carbon atoms in patent of the present invention is abbreviated as C3 hydrocarbon, and the hydro carbons that contains more than four carbon atom is abbreviated as C4
+hydrocarbon, DME/ methyl alcohol represents the mixing solutions of DME and methyl alcohol.The main nail alcohol of MTP technique (in DME reactor) under the effect of catalyzer generates DME, DME/ methyl alcohol (in MTP reactor) under the effect of MTP catalyzer generates the hydro carbons of different carbonatomss, hydro carbons separates and obtains propylene product, attached product ethene, LPG, gasoline products through rectifying tower.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, in a kind of MTP technique of the present invention, remove, the method for recycle DME, containing methane, ethane, ethene, propylene, C3 hydrocarbon, C4+ hydrocarbon and unreacted DME material from upstream enters depropanizing tower and carries out rectifying separation, in depropanizing tower, directly inject dissolve with methanol solution DME, methane, ethane, ethene, propylene, C3 hydrocarbon are steamed from tower top, and C4+ hydrocarbon and DME/ methyl alcohol enter extracting and separating tank from distillating at the bottom of tower.In extracting and separating tank, DME/ methyl alcohol enters methanol distillation column after separating with C4+ hydrocarbon, and the refining DME/ methyl alcohol steaming through methanol distillation column is sent into DME reactor, in DME reactor, is DME by methanol conversion.The DME of dissolve with methanol and newly-generated DME enter MTP reactor as raw material, carry out cycling and reutilization, and reaction generates the hydro carbons of different carbonatomss.A C4+ hydrocarbon part is returned to MTP reactor as recycle hydrocarbons and is reacted, and another part is as LPG output of products.MTP reactor catalyst can generate small molecule hydrocarbon product by DME, C2~C6 hydrocarbon catalyzed reaction.
Further, method of the present invention, along with the growth in MTP reaction times, catalyst activity weakens gradually, and unconverted DME can enter in propylene product.When DME mass content in propylene product is greater than 5ppm, methyl alcohol starts to inject depropanizing tower; Method of the present invention, before methyl alcohol injects depropanizing tower, increases the reflux ratio of depropanizing tower tower top, until tower top steams in thing without C4
+till hydrocarbon, now fix reflux ratio (when depropanizing tower normal running, reflux ratio is greater than 1.8) and operate, if C4
+hydrocarbon content is too high, and first alcohol and water will steam and affect purified propylene from tower top.

Method of the present invention, injects before depropanizing tower at methanol feedstock, stablize propylene tower operation, and regeneration protection bed using propylene tower overhead product line downstream as protector puts into operation.In regeneration protection bed, molecular sieve sorbent material is housed, can effectively absorbs DME, water and the methyl alcohol that in upstream product line propylene product, may sneak into.
Method of the present invention, directly between 10th~50 blocks of column plates of depropanizing tower, a tower tray progressively injects fresh methanol solution, increases gradually and injects quantity of methyl alcohol to normal operational settings flow (methanol feeding amount/depropanizing tower raw gas flow=0.1~0.3).Along with the increase of methyl alcohol injection rate, the regular content (methanol quality content is less than 3ppm) that constantly detects first alcohol and water in overhead product in depropanizing tower tower top sampling, and adjust at any time quantity of reflux and Ta Wen to ensure the stable operation of tower and to reach product separation requirement.
Method of the present invention, methyl alcohol/DME and C4+ hydrocarbon are gathered in the extracting and separating tank that enters in the lump downstream at the bottom of depropanizing tower tower.Extracting water at the bottom of methanol distillation column tower is injected from extracting and separating tank side, extracting water dissolves methyl alcohol/DME return methanol distillation column from separating tank bottom cycle, C4+ hydrocarbon separates from separating tank deck, and a part is returned to MTP reactor as recycle hydrocarbons, and a part is as LPG output of products.
The invention still further relates in a kind of MTP technique remove, the system of recycle DME, comprise depropanizing tower, deethanizing column, propylene tower, propylene product tank, extracting and separating tank, methanol distillation column, DME reactor and MTP reactor, wherein, the tower top discharge port of depropanizing tower is communicated with deethanizing column, propylene tower and the series connection of propylene product tank successively; At the bottom of the tower of depropanizing tower, discharge port is communicated with extracting and separating tank, methanol distillation column, DME reactor and MTP reactors in series successively; Described depropanizing tower is also provided with methanol feeding mouth.
