In an embodiment, a method of recovering phenol from a bisphenol A production facility comprises reacting phenol and acetone to produce a bisphenol A stream; separating the bisphenol A stream into a product bisphenol A stream and a purge stream; separating the purge stream into a primary top outlet stream and a primary bottom outlet stream; adding an acid catalyst to the primary bottom outlet stream to form a cracker inlet stream; separating the cracker inlet stream into a cracker top outlet stream and a cracker bottom outlet stream; separating the cracker top outlet stream and the cracker bottom outlet stream into a secondary top outlet stream and a secondary bottom outlet stream; forming a bisphenol A plant phenol recovery stream; combining the bisphenol A plant phenol recovery stream with a stream of a phenol purification plant.
在一个实施方案中,从双
酚 A 生产设备中回收
苯酚的方法包括:使
苯酚和
丙酮反应生成双
酚 A 流;将双
酚 A 流分离为产品双
酚 A 流和净化流;将净化流分离为一级顶部出口流和一级底部出口流;向一级底部出口流中加入酸催化剂以形成裂解器入口流;将裂解炉入口液流分离成裂解炉顶部出口液流和裂解炉底部出口液流;将裂解炉顶部出口液流和裂解炉底部出口液流分离成二级顶部出口液流和二级底部出口液流;形成双
酚 A 工厂
苯酚回收液流;将双
酚 A 工厂
苯酚回收液流与
苯酚净化工厂的液流合并。
