Description

Separation and purification method and system for 1, 4-butanediol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of 1, 4-butanediol production, in particular to a separation and purification method and system of 1, 4-butanediol.
Background
1, 4-butanediol is an important basic organic chemical raw material for producing tetrahydrofuran, dibutyl terephthalate, gamma-butyrolactone, polyurethane and the like. In recent years, with the rapid development of degradable materials, the capacity of the degradable materials such as PBS (English full name: poly (butylene succinate); chinese full name: polybutylene succinate), PBAT (English full name: poly (butyleneadipamate-co-terephthalate)), and the like by taking 1, 4-butanediol as a raw material is increased, so that the demand of the upstream raw material 1, 4-butanediol is rapidly increased, and all large 1, 4-butanediol manufacturers in the world are expanded in energy and increase in yield.
At present, the synthetic routes of the 1, 4-butanediol are about tens, wherein one of the synthetic routes is to take maleic anhydride or succinic acid as a raw material, esterify and hydrogenate the maleic anhydride or succinic acid by using low-carbon alcohol to obtain the 1, 4-butanediol and recycle the low-carbon alcohol. In the method, the 1, 4-butanediol is subjected to side reaction, namely, the dehydrogenation is carried out to generate the hydroxybutanal, and the hydroxybutanal is continuously reacted with the 1, 4-butanediol to generate the cyclic acetal substance, namely, the 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran. Especially in the latter stages of the hydrogenation catalyst operation, the yield of 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran is significantly increased.
Although the amount of 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran produced during the hydrogenation reaction is small and the normal boiling point of the material reaches 246 ℃ and the difference between the boiling point of the material and that of 1, 4-butanediol is about 20 ℃, the minimum constant boiling point of the minimum constant boiling point is very close to that of 1, 4-butanediol because the 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran and the 1, 4-butanediol product form the minimum constant boiling point, and the byproduct cannot be removed by conventional rectification separation. In addition, 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran is a chromogenic substance, and very small amounts can adversely affect downstream applications starting from 1, 4-butanediol.
In recent years, in the process of synthesizing PBS and PBAT by taking 1, 4-butanediol as raw materials, the existence of 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran has obvious influence on the quality of products, so that the purity of the 1, 4-butanediol products is higher and higher. In the current industrial production process, the purity of the 1, 4-butanediol product is guaranteed to meet the downstream requirement only by losing the yield of the 1, 4-butanediol and improving the rectification operation condition, so that the waste of the 1, 4-butanediol product is caused, the productivity is reduced, and the method is quite unreasonable from the aspect of economy.
To address the effect of 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran on the purity of 1, 4-butanediol products, various documents have been reported, such as patent application numbers US4383895, JP61/197534, CN1216973, CN103044197B, CN103044198B, etc., which either limit the production of 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran or employ unconventional rectification, or the crude 1, 4-butanediol stream is reduced in 2- (4-hydroxybutoxy) tetrahydrofuran content by continuing the reaction. However, 1, 4-butanediol products having a purity of 99.9% or more cannot be obtained. In addition, a hydrogenation process is also needed in the production process, and the problems of complex process flow, harsh operation conditions, large investment and energy consumption, poor economy and the like exist.
