Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical product purification and energy conservation, in particular to a method for separating vinyl acetate by heat pump extractive distillation, which is used for the distillation separation of vinyl acetate, water, acetic acid, solvent oil, lubricating oil, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate and methyl acetate.
Background
Vinyl acetate (VAc) is an important organic chemical raw material, is a colorless and transparent combustible liquid with strong odor at normal temperature and normal pressure, and is one of the fifty basic organic chemical raw materials with the largest world yield. Vinyl acetate is mainly used for producing derivatives such as polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion or copolymer resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, acetal resin and the like through self polymerization or copolymerization with other monomers, and the derivatives have wide application and can be used for adhesives, sizing agents for paper or fabrics, coatings, inks, leather processing, fiber processing, emulsifiers, water-soluble films, soil conditioners and the like.
In the device for preparing the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer by the high pressure method, vinyl acetate is used as a comonomer and injected into a system, wherein only 15 to 35 percent of the vinyl acetate reacts and is converted into a product, and the rest part is recovered after system separation. The recovered vinyl acetate contains solvent oil and lubricating oil which enter the system, and also contains some byproducts such as acetic acid, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate and methyl acetate. In order to recycle vinyl acetate monomer, the recovered vinyl acetate needs to be further refined, and the recovered vinyl acetate is injected into the system to participate in the reaction after reaching the corresponding index.
As can be known from thermal integration analysis, the separation and refinement rectifying tower has a large thermal platform at the top and the bottom, and the temperature difference is small, so that a heat pump technology is expected to be adopted. Because the separated substance vinyl acetate is easy to self-polymerize, the direct compression type heat pump rectification of the gas at the top of the tower is not used, and the closed type heat pump rectification is adopted.
