Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an absolute alcohol and use compression heat produced in recompressing and recirculating overhead propylene gas as a heat source for a pressurized extracting distillation column by adding propylene solvent as an extracting solvent to an aqueous solution of an alcohol and carrying out pressurized extracting distillation. CONSTITUTION:An aqueous solution of an alcohol is passed from a line 2 through a heat exchanger 37 and fed to an intermediate tray of a pressurized extracting distillation column 1 and propylene solvent is fed from lines 15 and 16 to carry out distillation under conditions of the propylene gas coexisting with liquid thereof. Thereby, the alcohol without containing water and the liquid propylene are obtained from the bottom and water and the vapor propylene are obtained from the top. The top gaseous phase is pressurized with a compressor 4 and the resultant compression heat is used as a heat source for a reboiler 6. The bottom mixture solution is passed through heat exchangers 18 and 20 and fed to a stripper 22. The propylene gas from the column top is slightly and adiabatically compressed with a compressor 24, used as a heat source for a heat exchanger 18, passed through a decanter 27 and refluxed from the line 16 to afford the objective absolute alcohol from the bottom thereof.

The present inventors have found that purity of 99,2 has industrially useful value.
As a result of intensive studies on energy-saving methods for producing anhydrous ethanol of w L% or more, we found that by adding a propylene solvent as an extraction solvent to an aqueous raw material alcohol solution and performing pressurized extractive distillation, anhydrous alcohol can be easily reduced to 17% by weight. Furthermore, the heat of compression generated when the propylene gas at the top of the pressurized extractive distillation column is recompressed and circulated can supplement most of the heat source of the pressurized extractive distillation column, and the energy consumption is significantly greater than that of existing distillation methods. They found that it was possible to save money and completed the present invention.

Propylene solvent is fed to the top of the pressurized extractive distillation column 1 via lines 15, 16. When an alcohol aqueous solution is placed under conditions where propylene gas and liquid coexist, alcohol is selectively extracted into liquid propylene due to the difference in affinity. , water is propylene/alcohol 6
By setting conditions such that water hardly dissolves in the 14 mixture liquid and the water concentration in the propylene gas phase is equal to or lower than the saturation concentration of water, water can be selectively transferred to the propylene gas phase side. In this way, alcohol and water can be separated and anhydrous alcohol can be obtained. In order to achieve the conditions in which both the gas and liquid phases of pyrene coexist in the pressurized extractive distillation column 1, the temperature must be set at the critical temperature of propylene 'rc.
= 92.3 DEG C. or less, the pressure should shift to the saturated vapor pressure corresponding to the liquid phase composition at this temperature (the maximum value is the critical pressure of pyrene Pc-45aL). In addition, the ratio of propylene gas and liquid should be changed depending on the raw material alcohol concentration and product absolute alcohol concentration, and this should be adjusted by the l1ffi of propylene, the number of pressurized extractive distillation columns (10 stages), and the method of providing heat to the repoiler 6.7. I can do it.

The top gas (consisting of propylene gas and water, substantially free of alcohol) of the pressurized extractive distillation column 1 is taken out from the inlet 3, recompressed by the compressor 4, and then passed through the line 5 to the repoiler. It is preferable to use the compression heat introduced into the repoiler 6 and generated by recompression as a heat source for the repoiler 6. Pressure extraction steaming f(i) Since drying can be carried out even if the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the column 1 is less than IO"c, the column can be operated with a small amount of compression in the compressor 4, that is, with a small amount of power. The temperature of the top gas can be raised above the bottom temperature by adiabatic compression, and the latent heat of condensation of the top gas can be fully utilized as a heat source for the repoiler 6, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared to existing distillation methods. You can save money.

It is introduced into the middle part of the stripper 22 through the process. This stripper 22 is a pressurized distillation column, and the gas-liquid contact portion can use various packings, perforated plates, various trays, etc. that are normally used in distillation. It is preferable that the pressure of this stripper 22 is set such that the pressure difference between it and the pressure extractive distillation column 1 is as small as possible.

The top gas of the stripper 22 (propylene gas that does not substantially contain alcohol) is taken out from the inlet 23 and is 5 to 0°C higher than the temperature of the liquid (mixture of absolute alcohol and liquid propylene) in the line 17. It is slightly adiabatic compressed by the compressor 24 so that it becomes a melon, and then passed through the line 25 to the heat exchanger I! J! 18, where it imparts most of the condensation bed heat and some of the sensible heat of the propylene gas in line 25 to the fluid in line 17. In this way, most of the heat source of the stripper 22 can be supplemented. The fluid raised in the heat exchanger 31B passes through a line 19, is further heated by a heat exchanger 20, and is supplied to the middle part of the stripper 22 via a line 21.
