Abstract:
There are provided a dividing wall distillation column for producing high-purity acrylic acid, and a fractional distillation method using the same. The dividing wall distillation column includes a condenser, a reboiler and a main column having a dividing wall. Here, the main column is divided into a column-top zone, an upper feed zone, an upper outflow zone, a lower feed zone, a lower outflow zone and a column-bottom zone. Also, a crude acrylic acid raw material (F) flows in a middle inflow plate NR1 in which the upper feed zone and the lower teed zone come in contact with each other, a low boiling point component (I)) flows out from the column-top zone, a high boiling point component (B) flows out from the column-bottom zone, and a middle boiling point component (S) flows out through a middle outflow plate NR2 in which the upper outflow zone and the lower outflow zone come in contact with each other. In this case, the middle boiling point component is acrylic acid. Accordingly. since one distillation column can be used to realize the same effect as that obtained from the use of two distillation columns, the dividing wall distillation column can have an effect of reducing the costs of equipment to produce high-purity acrylic acid, as well as an energy-reducing effect, compared to a conventional process system.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a method of manufacturing isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol with high purity is obtained from a feed including water and isopropyl alcohol. In addition, energy used in a process of obtaining the isopropyl alcohol, and investment cost for manufacturing facilities are reduced.
Abstract:
Provided are a separation system for easily recovering normal butene from an olefin fraction including isobutene, isobutane, 1-butene, 2-butene, and normal butane, and a separation process system using the method. Since the separation system may easily convert 1-butene included in the olefin fraction to 2-butene, normal butene may be effectively separated and recovered by factional distillation and each recovered fraction may be easily refluxed even if the use of a reflux system using a refrigerant is reduced or excluded. Thus, economic efficiency may be improved and simultaneously, separation efficiency may be increased.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing butadiene through an oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, the method including steps of a) introducing a first stream which includes C4 fraction, steam, oxygen (O2), and nitrogen (N2) into a reactor which is filled with catalyst to perform oxidative dehydrogenation reaction; b) selectively absorbing butadiene, which is obtained from the reactor, into an absorption solvent, and separating and removing C4 mixture other than the dutadiene and light gas product; and c) recovering and purifying the butadiene. Through integration of the gas separating and purifying steps by using the single absorption solvent during production of butadiene, equipment costs and operating costs accruing from repeated introduction and removal of solvent are reduced, thereby ensuring economic competitiveness of the process.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for recycling energy in process of butadiene preparation, which includes, in the process of preparing butadiene using oxidative dehydrogenation reaction, steps of: a) supplying part or all of a light gas discharged from a solvent absorption tower to a turbine to produce electricity; b) passing the light gas passed through the turbine through one or more device units provided with a heat exchanger; and c) feeding the light gas passed through the device units provided with the heat exchanger into a reactor, according to which more economical butadiene preparation process is provided, by reducing net energy value required in process of butadiene preparation using oxidative dehydrogenation reaction.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of and a device for purifying isopropyl alcohol. Water may be effectively removed from a feed including water and isopropyl alcohol while consuming a minimum amount of energy, and therefore, a high-purity isopropyl alcohol may be obtained.

Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and a method for preparing bisphenol A. In the present invention, all or some of a mother liquid stream is circulated to a flash rector through a bypass line after crystallization in a process of preparing bisphenol A so as to increase a conversion rate of bisphenol A in a reactor, reduce energy, and use a heating source of phenol to be discharged to an upper side of the flash reactor, and thus the reaction efficiency of the whole process can be increased.
