PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUS RECOVERING (METH)ACRYLIC ACID AND APPARATUS FOR THE PROCESS
【TECHNICAL FIELD】
The present invention relates to a method of continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid and an apparatus for the method.
【BACKGROUND OF ART】
(Meth)acrylic acid is generally prepared by gas phase oxidation of propane, propylene, (meth)acrolein, and the like in the presence of a catalyst. For example, propane, propylene, and the like are converted to (meth)acrylic acid through (meth)acrolein by gas phase oxidation in the presence of an appropriate catalyst in a reactor, and a reaction product mixed gas including (meth)acrylic acid, non-reacted propane or propylene, (meth)acrolein, an inert gas, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and various organic by-products (acetic acid, heavies, and the like) is obtained in the back end of the reactor.
The (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas contacts an absorption solvent such as process water in a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower, and is recovered as a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution. Further, (meth)acrylic acid-stripped insoluble gas is recycled for a synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid, and a part thereof is incinerated and discharged. The (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution is distilled and purified to obtain (meth)acrylic acid.
Meanwhile, various methods of controlling process conditions or a process sequence and the like to improve the recovery efficiency of (meth)acrylic acid have been suggested. Representatively, as a method for separating water and acetic acid from the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution obtained in the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower, an azeotropic distillation
3
method using a hydrophobic solvent in a distillation column is known. The azeotropic distillation method is a method of effectively recovering (meth)acrylic acid by recovering acetic acid, which is a main by-product of (meth)acrylic acid synthesis, together with water, through a distillation process using a hydrophobic solvent.
Particularly, the inventors have suggested in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2009-0041355 that a hydrophobic solvent is used in a distillation column, and acetic acid containing waste water recovered from the upper part of a distillation column is recycled to a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower and reused. As such, the azeotropic distillation method in a distillation column has the effects of reducing the amount of waste water, and simultaneously, effectively inhibiting inflow of organic substances, and simplifying the subsequent purification step.
However, the azeotropic distillation method and previously disclosed recovery methods of (meth)acrylic acid have problems in that a large amount of energy is consumed in the process of distilling a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution, treatment load in the distillation process is high, and a polymer is produced due to polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid to render normal operation impossible, thus lowering stability of a process operation.
【DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION】

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid that may remarkably reduce energy consumption and yet enables stable recovery of (meth)acrylic acid and operation of a continuous process.

【DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS】
Hereinafter, a method of continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid and a recovery apparatus according to the embodiments of the invention will be explained.
First, the technical terms used herein are only to mention specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the invention. Further, singular forms used herein include plural forms, unless they have clearly opposite meanings. Further, the meaning of ‘comprising’ as used herein embodies a specific property, area, integer, step, operation, element, or component, and it does not exclude the addition of other specific properties, areas, integers, steps, operations, elements, or components.
Unless otherwise described, terms used herein are defined as follows.
The term '(meth)acrylic acid’ generally refers to acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a mixture thereof.
The term '(meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas' generally refers to a mixed gas that may be produced when (meth)acrylic acid is prepared by gas phase oxidation. As a non-limiting example, the (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas may be obtained by gas phase oxidation of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of propane, propylene, butane, i-butylene, t-butylene, and (meth)acrolein (‘raw material compound’) in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas may include (meth)acrylic acid, non-reacted raw material compounds, (meth)acrolein, an

inert gas, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and various organic by-products (acetic acid, light ends, heavies, and the like), and the like.
Herein, the term ‘light ends’ or ‘heavies’ commonly refers to a kind of by-products that can be produced in the process of preparing and recovering aimed (meth)acrylic acid, and has lower or higher molecular weight than (meth)acrylic acid. Further, poorly water-soluble floating material formed by the organic by-products is referred to as ‘scum’.

Hereinafter, referring to the attached drawing, a specific embodiment of the invention will be explained in detail so that one of ordinary knowledge in the art may easily practice it. However, the present invention may be embodied in various forms, and is not limited to the examples.
Meanwhile, during studies on a method of continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid, it was confirmed that the previously disclosed recovery method of (meth)acrylic acid through azeotropic distillation consumes a large amount of energy in the distillation process, and has lowered process stability due to the production of a polymer by polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid during the distillation process.
Thus, as a result of continuous studies, the inventors confirmed that if a
10
(meth)acrylic acid extraction process is introduced between a (meth)acrylic acid absorption process and a distillation process as shown in FIG. 1, an operation load of the distillation process may be remarkably lowered. Furthermore, it was confirmed that if a raffinate solution of the extraction process is fed to a specific point of a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower, and simultaneously the weight ratio of an extraction solvent to a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution in the extraction process is controlled, energy consumption compared to recovery rate of (meth)acrylic acid may be remarkably lowered, and more stable operation of a continuous process is enabled.
I. A method of continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for continuous recovery of (meth)acrylic acid is provided, including:
an absorption process wherein a mixed gas including (meth)acrylic acid, organic by-products, and vapor, which is produced by a synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid, is contacted with water to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution;
an extraction process wherein the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution obtained through the absorption process is contacted with an extraction solvent in an extraction column to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid extract solution and a raffinate solution; and
a distillation process wherein a feed including the (meth)acrylic acid extract solution obtained through the extraction process is distilled to obtain (meth)acrylic acid,
wherein the raffinate solution obtained through the extraction process is fed to at least one point corresponding to 10 to 30 % from the uppermost part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower, and
the weight ratio of the extraction solvent to the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution fed to the extraction column is greater than 0.3 and less than 1.0.
11
Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 1, each process that can be included in the embodiment of the invention will be explained.
(Absorption process)
An absorption process is a process for obtaining a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution, and it may be conducted by contacting a (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas obtained through the synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid with an absorption solvent including water.
As a non-limiting example, the synthesis reaction of (meth)acrylic acid may be conducted by the oxidation reaction of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of propane, propylene, butane, isobutylene, and (meth)acrolein in the presence of a gas phase catalyst. Herein, the gas phase oxidation reaction may be progressed using a gas phase oxidation reactor of a common structure and under common reaction conditions. As the catalyst for the gas phase oxidation reaction, common catalysts may be used, and for example, catalysts suggested in Korean Registered Patent No. 0349602 and No. 037818 and the like may be used. In the (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas produced by the gas phase oxidation reaction, in addition to the desired product (meth)acrylic acid, non-reacted raw material compounds, intermediate (meth)acrolein, an inert gas, carbon dioxide, vapor, and various organic by-products (acetic acid, light ends, heavies, and the like) may be included.
Further, referring to FIG. 1, the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution may be obtained by feeding a (meth)acrylic acid-containing mixed gas (1) to a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) to contact it with an absorption solvent including water.
Herein, the kind of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) may be determined considering contact efficiency of the mixed gas (1) with the absorption solvent, and the like. As non-limiting examples, the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) may be a packed column tower or a multistage tray
12
tower. Inside the packed tower, a filler such as a Raschig ring, a pall ring, a saddle, gauze, structured packing, and the like may be applied.
Further, considering the efficiency of the absorption process, the mixed gas (1) may be fed to the lower part of the absorption tower (100), and the solvent including water may be fed to the upper part of the absorption tower (100).
The absorption solvent may include water such as tap water, deionized water, and the like, and it may include recycled process water introduced from other processes (for example, an aqueous phase recycled from an extraction process and/or a distillation process). Further, in the absorption solvent, a trace amount of organic by-products introduced from other processes (for example, acetic acid) may be included. However, considering the absorption efficiency of (meth)acrylic acid, it is preferable that organic by-products may be included in the content of 15 wt% or less in the absorption solvent fed to the absorption tower (100) (particularly, in the recycled process water).
Furthermore, according to the embodiment of the invention, a raffinate solution that is obtained in a (meth)acrylic acid extraction column (200) as described below may be recycled to a (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) and used as an absorption solvent. Particularly, it is more advantageous in terms of improvement in process efficiency that the raffinate solution is fed to at least one point corresponding to 10 to 30 % from the uppermost part of the absorption tower (100), which will be explained in detail with regard to a (meth)acrylic acid extraction column (200) below.
Further, the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) may be operated at an internal pressure of 1 to 1.5 bar or 1 to 1.3 bar, and at an internal temperature of 50 to 100 ℃ or 50 to 80 ℃, considering condensation conditions and moisture content according to saturated water vapor pressure, and the like.
Meanwhile, in the absorption process, a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution is discharged to the lower part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption
13
tower (100), and (meth)acrylic acid-stripped non-condensable gas is discharged to the upper part thereof. Herein, it may be favorable in terms of efficiency of the total process that 40 wt% or more, or 40 to 90 wt%, or 50 to 90 wt% of (meth)acrylic acid may be included in the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution.
The obtained (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution may be fed to a (meth)acrylic acid extraction column (200) through an aqueous solution transfer line (102), as shown in FIG. 1. If an extraction process is introduced between a (meth)acrylic acid absorption process and a distillation process as shown in FIG. 1, most absorption solvent included in the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution may be removed in the extraction process, thus lowering a treatment load of the distillation process and reducing energy consumption.
Meanwhile, at least a part of the non-condensable gas discharged to the upper part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) may be fed to a process of recovering organic by-products (particularly, acetic acid) included in the non-condensable gas, and the remainder may be fed to a waste gas incinerator and discarded. Namely, according to one embodiment of the invention, a process of contacting the non-condensable gas with an absorption solvent to recover acetic acid included in the non-condensable gas may be progressed.
The process of contacting the non-condensable gas with an absorption solvent may be conducted in an acetic acid absorption tower (150). As a non-limiting example, an absorption solvent (process water) for absorbing acetic acid may be fed to the upper part of the acetic acid absorption tower (150), and an aqueous solution containing acetic acid may be discharged to the lower part of the acetic acid absorption tower (150). Further, the acetic acid-containing aqueous solution may be fed to the upper part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100) and used as an absorption solvent. In addition, acetic acid-stripped non-condensable gas may be recycled to the synthesis process of (meth)acrylic acid and reused.
Herein, for effective absorption of acetic acid, the acetic acid absorption
14
tower (150) may be operated at the internal pressure of 1 to 1.5 bar or 1 to 1.3 bar, and at the internal temperature of 50 to 100 ℃ or 50 to 80 ℃. In addition, specific operation conditions of the acetic acid absorption tower (150) may follow the disclosure of Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2009-0041355.
(Extraction process)
Meanwhile, an extraction process wherein a (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution is contacted with an extraction solvent in an extraction column to obtain a (meth)acrylic acid extract solution and a raffinate solution is conducted. Herein, the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution may be prepared by the above-explained absorption process.
The extraction process may be conducted in a (meth)acrylic acid extraction column (200). The (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution fed to the extraction column (200) contacts with an extraction solvent, and is discharged as an extract solution in which a significant amount of (meth)acrylic acid is dissolved and a raffinate solution that is deprived of a significant amount of (meth)acrylic acid, respectively.
Herein, the extract solution that is in a relatively light phase is obtained through the upper outlet of the extraction column (200), and the raffinate solution that is in a relatively heavy phase is obtained through the lower outlet of the extraction column. Before the raffinate solution is discharged from the extraction column (200), a certain amount thereof remains stationary at the stationary section of the lower part of the extraction column, and a part thereof is discharged to the lower outlet of the extraction column.
As such, by contacting the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution with an extraction solvent in an extraction column (200) (namely, extraction with small energy consumption compared to distillation), most water included in the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution may be removed. Thereby, a treatment load of the subsequent distillation process may be lowered, thus improving
15
energy efficiency of total process. Furthermore, by lowering treatment load of the distillation process, polymerization of (meth)acrylic acid that may be generated during distillation may be minimized, to secure more improved recovery efficiency of (meth)acrylic acid.
Meanwhile, the raffinate solution obtained in the extraction process is recycled to the above-explained absorption process as an absorption solvent. Particularly, according to the embodiment of the invention, the raffinate solution may be fed to at least one point corresponding to 10 to 30 %, or 10 to 25 %, or 15 to 30 %, or 10 to 20 %, or 15 to 25 % from the uppermost part, instead of the uppermost part of the (meth)acrylic acid absorption tower (100). Further simultaneously, the weight ratio (S/F) of the extraction solvent to the (meth)acrylic acid aqueous solution (i.e., feed) fed to the extraction column (200) may be controlled to greater than 0.3 and less than 1.0, or greater than 0.3 and 0.8 or less, or 0.5 or more and less than 1.0, or 0.5 or more and 0.8 or less.
