A process and apparatus are disclosed for the purification of epichlorohydrin. The process includes distilling and/or fractionating a feed stream containing epichlorohydrin, dichlorohydrin(s), and one or more other substances, subjecting at least a portion of the liquid phase effluent to a dichlorohydrin dehydrochlorination process for converting residual dichlorohydrin(s) in the liquid phase effluent to epichlorohydrin, and recovering purified epichlorohydrin from the vapor phase effluent in which the distillation/fractionation pressure and/or temperature of step (1) is adjusted to retain at least 5 weight-percent epichlorohydrin in the liquid phase effluent and/or the distillation/-fractionation pressure and/or temperature of step (1) is adjusted to satisfy the equation: R□100000□P100□Tk
wherein P represents the distillation pressure of the vapor phase effluent produced by step (1) in Pascal, Tk represents the distillation temperature of the liquid phase effluent produced by step (1) in degrees Kelvin, and R represents the number 2.8. The apparatus for making purified epichlorohydrin includes a dehydrochlorination apparatus, a first liquid-vapor contacting apparatus, and a second liquid-vapor contacting apparatus connected to the dehydrochlorination apparatus for recycling a distillate to the dehydrochlorination apparatus. Advantages include more efficient recovery of epichlorohydrins and reduced capital investment in recovery equipment.
本发明公开了一种用于提纯环氧氯丙烷的工艺和设备。该工艺包括蒸馏和/或分馏含有环氧氯丙烷、二氯海德林和一种或多种其他物质的进料流,将液相流出物的至少一部分置于二氯海德林脱氯工艺中,以将液相流出物中的残余二氯海德林转化为环氧氯丙烷、并从气相流出物中回收纯化的环氧氯丙烷,其中步骤(1)的蒸馏/分馏压力和/或温度经调整以在液相流出物中保留至少 5 重量百分比的环氧氯丙烷,和/或步骤(1)的蒸馏/分馏压力和/或温度经调整以满足以下等式:R□100000□P100□Tk
其中 P 表示步骤(1)产生的气相流出物的蒸馏压力(帕斯卡),Tk 表示步骤(1)产生的液相流出物的蒸馏温度(开尔文),R 表示数字 2.8。制造纯化环氧氯丙烷的装置包括一个脱氢氯化装置、一个第一液-气接触装置和一个与脱氢氯化装置相连的第二液-气接触装置,第二液-气接触装置用于将馏分回收至脱氢氯化装置。其优点包括更有效地回收环氧氯丙烷和减少回收设备的资本投资。
