由聚酯废料再循环原料的方法以及利用所述方法的装置Method for recycling raw materials from polyester waste and plant using said method

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及由聚酯废料再循环原料的方法以及利用所述方法的装置,更具体地说,本发明涉及由主要包含聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(以下称为PET)的聚酯废料(瓶子、磁膜、啤酒瓶、低聚物渣等)再循环对苯二甲酸二甲酯(以下称为DMT)和乙二醇(以下称为EG)或聚酯用原料的方法以及利用所述方法的装置。The present invention relates to a method for recycling raw materials from polyester waste and an apparatus utilizing said method, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a process for recycling polyester waste mainly comprising polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as PET). (Bottles, magnetic films, beer bottles, oligomer slag, etc.) Methods of recycling dimethyl terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as DMT) and ethylene glycol (hereinafter referred to as EG) or raw materials for polyester and utilizing all Apparatus for the method described above.

背景技术 Background technique

当今,由于塑料工业的发展而使得塑料制品泛滥,因此废料的处理成为严重的环境问题。Nowadays, due to the proliferation of plastic products due to the development of the plastic industry, the disposal of waste materials has become a serious environmental problem.

废塑料的处理主要采用填埋、焚烧和再循环,优选的是对废塑料进行再循环,这是因为填埋和焚烧造成例如环境污染等问题。通常,再循环可分为材料再循环和化学再循环。在材料再循环中,首先对生成的废塑料进行收集和分类,然后进行物理再循环。然而,尽管材料再循环的再循环成本较为经济,但其问题在于再循环的塑料品质低劣。Waste plastics are mainly treated by landfilling, incineration and recycling, and recycling of waste plastics is preferred because landfilling and incineration cause problems such as environmental pollution. Generally, recycling can be divided into material recycling and chemical recycling. In material recycling, the waste plastics generated are first collected and sorted, and then physically recycled. However, despite the economical recycling costs of material recycling, the problem is that the recycled plastics are of poor quality.

化学再循环时,将废塑料解聚,得到了塑料的单体或聚合原料。在一个实例中,对废塑料的PET废料进行了再循环,传统工艺包括下列过程:In chemical recycling, waste plastics are depolymerized to obtain plastic monomers or polymeric raw materials. In one example, PET waste from waste plastics is recycled, and the traditional process includes the following processes:

解聚过程将聚酯废料装入在乙二醇醇解反应器内的含有解聚催化剂的乙二醇中以将聚酯废料解聚为对苯二甲酸双羟基酯(BHET)和低聚物,然后将部分乙二醇醇解的产物装入酯交换反应器中,在酯交换催化剂的存在下通过部分乙二醇醇解产物在甲醇(MeOH)中的酯交换而制得粗DMT和EG,并通过利用蒸馏和结晶过程来纯化粗DMT和EG由此获得最终产物DMT和EG,同时将甲醇再循环至酯交换反应器中。Depolymerization process The polyester waste is charged into ethylene glycol containing a depolymerization catalyst in the glycolysis reactor to depolymerize the polyester waste into bishydroxyl terephthalate (BHET) and oligomers , and then the product of partial glycolysis was charged into the transesterification reactor, and the crude DMT and EG were obtained by transesterification of the partial glycolysis product in methanol (MeOH) in the presence of a transesterification catalyst , and purify the crude DMT and EG by utilizing distillation and crystallization processes to thereby obtain the final products DMT and EG while recycling methanol to the transesterification reactor.

关于前述过程中的酯交换反应器,美国专利第5,051,528号公开了使过热的甲醇气体在低压下通过乙二醇与对苯二甲酸的低聚物或对苯二甲酸二甲酯,气态的DMT、EG和甲醇由塔顶回收,由此能够处理更多的受污染的PET。也就是说,通过部分乙二醇醇解获得BHET和低聚物,通过BHET和低聚物的甲醇醇解作用获得DMT和EG。不过,通过部分乙二醇醇解解聚为BHET要花费很长的反应时间,原因在于这是可逆反应。Regarding the transesterification reactor in the aforementioned process, U.S. Patent No. 5,051,528 discloses passing superheated methanol gas under low pressure through ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid oligomers or dimethyl terephthalate, gaseous DMT , EG and methanol are recovered from the top of the tower, thus enabling more contaminated PET to be processed. That is, BHET and oligomers were obtained by partial alcoholysis of ethylene glycol, and DMT and EG were obtained by methanolysis of BHET and oligomers. However, depolymerization to BHET by partial glycololysis takes a long reaction time because it is a reversible reaction.

此外,得到的BHET和低聚物由气态甲醇再次解聚而形成以气相形式排出的DMT和EG。因此,不能使用高压甲醇,反应速度因而缓慢。In addition, the resulting BHET and oligomers were depolymerized again from gaseous methanol to form DMT and EG which were discharged in the gas phase. Therefore, high-pressure methanol cannot be used, and the reaction rate is thus slow.

专利文献中披露了用于PET甲醇醇解的各种方法。操作在间歇条件和连续条件下进行,连续过程的主要问题在于很难将固体聚酯废料供应至在高压下操作的甲醇醇解反应器中。由于前述原因所致,尽管间歇过程存在各种不利之处,甲醇醇解往往还是以间歇过程进行。高压间歇过程众所周知的是:由于低聚物溶液中甲醇的浓度保持较高的水平因而聚酯的解聚快速进行,但是由于生成的DMT和EG的浓度增大反应速度因反应平衡的限制而随时间降低,因此聚酯不能完全解聚为DMT和EG,仍有大约15%保留为低聚物的形式。Various methods for methanolysis of PET are disclosed in the patent literature. The operation is carried out under batch conditions as well as under continuous conditions, the main problem of the continuous process is that it is difficult to feed solid polyester waste to the methanolysis reactor operating at high pressure. For the aforementioned reasons, methanolysis is often carried out in a batch process despite the various disadvantages of the batch process. It is well known that the high-pressure batch process is that the depolymerization of polyester proceeds rapidly due to the high concentration of methanol in the oligomer solution, but the reaction speed increases with the limitation of reaction equilibrium due to the increase of the concentration of DMT and EG. The time decreased so that the polyester could not be completely depolymerized to DMT and EG, and about 15% remained in the form of oligomers.

相反,因为DMT和EG通过反应器的顶部除去,所以低压连续解聚过程不受反应平衡的限制,但其不利之处在于反应速度较慢,这是因为反应溶液中甲醇的浓度保持在较低水平所致。On the contrary, because DMT and EG are removed through the top of the reactor, the low-pressure continuous depolymerization process is not limited by the reaction equilibrium, but its disadvantage is that the reaction rate is slower because the concentration of methanol in the reaction solution is kept low caused by the level.

韩国专利第0837781号是本申请人的在先申请,其公开了下述方法:乙二醇醇解反应和甲醇醇解反应在单一反应器中同时进行,唯一的高压反应器因而用作聚酯溶解槽、乙二醇醇解反应器和甲醇醇解反应器。前述方法可显著增大反应速度,并因反应效率的增大而获得减少原料甲醇的用量的效果。Korean Patent No. 0837781 is the applicant's prior application, which discloses a method in which glycolysis reaction and methanolysis reaction are carried out simultaneously in a single reactor, and the only high-pressure reactor is thus used as polyester Dissolving tank, glycolysis reactor and methanolysis reactor. The aforementioned method can significantly increase the reaction speed, and obtain the effect of reducing the consumption of raw material methanol due to the increase of reaction efficiency.

不过,在于其中进行后续过程的甲醇醇解反应器和甲醇回收过程中,不可避免地要进行需要复杂装置且消耗大量能量的、液化来自甲醇醇解反应器的甲醇蒸汽、通过高压泵注射甲醇或来自甲醇贮存器的原料以及通过蒸发器使甲醇蒸发的过程。However, in the methanolysis reactor and methanol recovery process in which the subsequent process is carried out, liquefaction of methanol vapor from the methanolysis reactor, injection of methanol through a high-pressure pump or Feedstock from the methanol storage and the process of evaporating the methanol through the evaporator.

因此,前述过程的不利之处在于需要复杂的装置并且消耗相对大量的能量,原因是随着甲醇回收塔中收集的甲醇经液化以存贮在甲醇贮存器中然后通过蒸发器而再次蒸发以输送到甲醇醇解反应器中,液化和蒸发重复进行。Therefore, the aforementioned process is disadvantageous in requiring complex equipment and consuming a relatively large amount of energy, as the methanol collected in the methanol recovery column is liquefied for storage in the methanol storage and then evaporated again for delivery through the evaporator To the methanolysis reactor, liquefaction and evaporation are repeated.

具体而言,根据本发明的由聚酯废料再循环DMT和EG等聚酯原料的方法包括:将原料和来自蒸馏塔(600)的预定量的EG或低聚物与解聚催化剂的混合物装入第一反应器(100)中,并通过连续供应甲醇增大反应器中的压力从而使所述原料解聚;解聚完成时开启与第二反应器(200)连接的传输管(70a)的传输阀(80a)以传输来自第一反应器(100)的反应物;将第二反应器(200)中生成的气态反应产物传输至精馏塔(300),在所述塔的上部分离纯甲醇并在所述塔的下部液化其余的甲醇、DMT和EG;将在精馏塔(300)的上部分离的甲醇再循环至第二反应器(200)并将所述甲醇的一部分存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中;将从精馏塔(300)的下部流出的液体传输至结晶槽(400)以使DMT结晶;将来自结晶槽(400)的产物传输至固液分离器(500)以分离DMT晶体和富含EG的液态甲醇;将富含EG的液态甲醇传输至蒸馏塔(600)以分离EG、低聚物和甲醇,并将所述甲醇存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中,将低聚物再循环至所述第一反应器(100)。Specifically, the method for recycling polyester raw materials such as DMT and EG from polyester waste according to the present invention includes: charging the raw materials and a predetermined amount of EG or a mixture of oligomers and depolymerization catalysts from a distillation column (600) into the first reactor (100), and by continuously supplying methanol to increase the pressure in the reactor so that the feedstock is depolymerized; when the depolymerization is completed, the transfer pipe (70a) connected to the second reactor (200) is opened The transfer valve (80a) to transfer the reactant from the first reactor (100); the gaseous reaction product generated in the second reactor (200) is transferred to the rectification column (300), and separated in the upper part of the column pure methanol and liquefy the remaining methanol, DMT and EG in the lower part of the column; recycle the methanol separated in the upper part of the rectification column (300) to the second reactor (200) and store a part of the methanol In the methanol storage tank (30); the liquid that flows out from the lower part of the rectification column (300) is transferred to the crystallization tank (400) so that DMT is crystallized; the product from the crystallization tank (400) is transferred to the solid-liquid separator ( 500) to separate DMT crystals and EG-rich liquid methanol; transfer the EG-rich liquid methanol to a distillation column (600) to separate EG, oligomers and methanol, and store the methanol in a methanol storage ( 30), the oligomers are recycled to the first reactor (100).

第一反应器(100)和第二反应器(200)通过传输管(70a)连接,因而所述反应物通过压差传输。更具体而言,当第二反应器(200)内的液面降低时,传输管(70a)的传输阀(80a)自动开启,反应物通过压差由第一反应器(100)传输至第二反应器(200)。The first reactor (100) and the second reactor (200) are connected by a transfer pipe (70a), so that the reactants are transferred by pressure difference. More specifically, when the liquid level in the second reactor (200) drops, the transfer valve (80a) of the transfer pipe (70a) is automatically opened, and the reactant is transferred from the first reactor (100) to the second reactor through the pressure difference. Two reactors (200).

此外,第一反应器(100)于200℃~300℃的温度和大气压至50bar的反应压力运行,第二反应器(200)于200℃~300℃的温度和大气压至10bar的反应压力运行,由此反应物能够自动传输。In addition, the first reactor (100) operates at a temperature of 200°C to 300°C and a reaction pressure from atmospheric pressure to 50 bar, and the second reactor (200) operates at a temperature of 200°C to 300°C and a reaction pressure from atmospheric pressure to 10 bar, The reactants can thus be transported automatically.

此外,可将蒸馏塔(600)中分离的EG用作可以装入第一反应器(100)中的原料。In addition, EG separated in the distillation column (600) can be used as a raw material that can be charged into the first reactor (100).

更具体而言,本发明的方法中所用的原料是聚酯废料,并通过诸如挤出机、螺杆进料机和气闸阀等原料进料器(10)送入第一反应器(100)。聚酯废料可以以具有适宜尺寸的粉末至薄片等固体形式给料,或者以熔融形式给料。第一反应器(100)可以以连续、半连续或间歇类型运行,通过使用反应器具有大分子量的聚酯经乙二醇醇解反应可以解聚为分子量明显减小的BHET、MHET或低聚物。More specifically, the raw material used in the process of the present invention is polyester waste and is fed into the first reactor (100) through a raw material feeder (10) such as an extruder, screw feeder and airlock valve. Polyester waste can be fed in solid form ranging from powder to flakes with suitable dimensions, or in molten form. The first reactor (100) can be operated in continuous, semi-continuous or batch mode, and by using the reactor with a large molecular weight polyester, it can be depolymerized into BHET, MHET or oligomerization with a significantly reduced molecular weight through glycolysis. thing.

此外,由于甲醇醇解反应与乙二醇醇解反应并行进行,因此第一反应器(100)中生成相当大量的DMT。在该过程中,由于通过甲醇醇解生成的EG可再次用于乙二醇醇解,因此两个反应显示出相互协同。此外,生成的EG本身可用来溶解新供应的PET原料,因此乙二醇醇解所需的EG的送料量可明显减少,或无需送入EG。Furthermore, since the methanolysis reaction is carried out in parallel with the glycolysis reaction, a considerable amount of DMT is produced in the first reactor (100). In this process, since the EG generated by methanolysis can be used again for glycolysis, the two reactions show synergy with each other. In addition, the generated EG itself can be used to dissolve the newly supplied PET raw material, so the amount of EG required for glycolysis can be significantly reduced, or no EG needs to be fed.

当将包含催化剂和低聚物的EG送入第一反应器(100)中时,乙二醇醇解反应和甲醇醇解反应同时发生从而明显地消耗聚酯废料,因而在第二反应器(200)中转化成为DMT和EG这一随后的过程易于快速发生。通过调节由甲醇贮存器(30)经传输管(120b)送入第一反应器(100)中的甲醇的量可以调节第一反应器(100)的压力。When the EG comprising catalyst and oligomers is fed into the first reactor (100), the glycolysis reaction and the methanolysis reaction occur simultaneously to obviously consume polyester waste, thus in the second reactor ( 200) the subsequent conversion to DMT and EG tends to occur rapidly. The pressure of the first reactor (100) can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of methanol sent from the methanol storage (30) to the first reactor (100) through the transfer pipe (120b).

第一反应器(100)和第二反应器(200)通过传输管(70a)连接,因而反应物通过压差传输。更具体而言,当第二反应器(200)内的液面降低时,传输管(70a)的传输阀(80a)自动开启,反应物通过压差由第一反应器(100)传输至第二反应器(200)。The first reactor (100) and the second reactor (200) are connected by a transfer pipe (70a), so that reactants are transferred by pressure difference. More specifically, when the liquid level in the second reactor (200) drops, the transfer valve (80a) of the transfer pipe (70a) is automatically opened, and the reactant is transferred from the first reactor (100) to the second reactor through the pressure difference. Two reactors (200).

对于本发明的第二反应器(200),甲醇通过气泡发生器(90)送至反应器的下部。在送至所述下部的甲醇与由第一反应器(100)传输的反应物彼此直接接触的同时发生甲醇醇解反应,由此经第二反应器(200)的顶部排出气态反应产物。在该过程中,甲醇的功能不仅是反应材料,而且还用作载体以使反应产物同甲醇蒸气自身一起排出。For the second reactor (200) of the present invention, methanol is sent to the lower part of the reactor through the bubble generator (90). The methanolysis reaction occurs while the methanol sent to the lower part and the reactants delivered from the first reactor (100) are in direct contact with each other, whereby gaseous reaction products are discharged through the top of the second reactor (200). In this process, methanol functions not only as a reaction material, but also as a carrier to allow the reaction products to be discharged together with the methanol vapor itself.

在传输管(70b)的传输阀(80b)开启的同时第二反应器(200)中制得的反应产物传输至精馏塔(300),并与液体,即DMT、EG和甲醇的溶液在精馏塔(300)的底部接触。因此,仅使甲醇在塔的顶部被分离,而甲醇、DMT和EG在塔的下部液化,这使随后的结晶过程比较有利。随着在提供原料甲醇进行回流的同时向下流动的液体与向上流动的气态甲醇在塔板或填料中相互接触,甲醇的分离得以完成。采用上述过程可以改善甲醇与其他产物的分离效率。While the transfer valve (80b) of the transfer pipe (70b) is opened, the reaction product produced in the second reactor (200) is transferred to the rectification column (300), and is mixed with the liquid, i.e. the solution of DMT, EG and methanol The bottom of the distillation column (300) is in contact. Therefore, only methanol is separated at the top of the column, while methanol, DMT and EG are liquefied in the lower part of the column, which makes the subsequent crystallization process more favorable. Methanol separation is accomplished as the downflowing liquid contacts the upflowing gaseous methanol in trays or packing while the feed methanol is supplied for reflux. Using the above process can improve the separation efficiency of methanol and other products.

甲醇蒸气在精馏塔(300)的顶部回收,大部分回收的甲醇蒸气经压缩机(61)或鼓风机再循环至低压连续甲醇醇解反应器,即第二反应器(200)中。Methanol vapor is recovered at the top of the rectification tower (300), and most of the recovered methanol vapor is recycled to the low-pressure continuous methanolysis reactor, namely the second reactor (200), through a compressor (61) or a blower.

使用背压式调节器(31)或其他压力调节阀通过调节于精馏塔(300)顶部回收的部分甲醇蒸气的外流可以调节第二反应器(200)和精馏塔(300)中的压力。此外,当由精馏塔(300)的顶部排出的甲醇的量过多时,部分甲醇蒸气可通过背压式调节器(31)流出,并冷凝存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中。The pressure in the second reactor (200) and the rectification column (300) can be adjusted by regulating the outflow of part of the methanol vapor recovered at the top of the rectification column (300) using a back pressure regulator (31) or other pressure regulating valves . In addition, when the amount of methanol discharged from the top of the rectification column (300) is too much, part of the methanol vapor can flow out through the back pressure regulator (31) and be condensed and stored in the methanol storage tank (30).

因此,本发明相比于现有的方法节省了大量的能量,现有方法蒸发由甲醇贮存器(30)供应的原料甲醇并将蒸发的甲醇送至解聚反应器中。此外,随着甲醇于精馏塔(300)顶部的回收,DMT和EG在精馏塔(300)的下部浓缩,这有助于随后的结晶过程。Therefore, the present invention saves a lot of energy compared to the existing method, which evaporates the raw methanol supplied by the methanol storage (30) and sends the evaporated methanol to the depolymerization reactor. In addition, with recovery of methanol at the top of rectification column (300), DMT and EG are concentrated in the lower part of rectification column (300), which facilitates the subsequent crystallization process.

由精馏塔(300)流出的DMT和EG传输至结晶槽(400)进行结晶过程。DMT通过浓缩或冷却结晶,然后移至固液分离器(500)。在固液分离器中,使用离心机或过滤器分离DMT晶体和富含EG的液态甲醇。通过上述过程得到的DMT的优点在于DMT的回收效率相当高,并且可以获得很高的纯度。The DMT and EG flowing out from the rectification tower (300) are transported to the crystallization tank (400) for the crystallization process. DMT is crystallized by concentration or cooling, and then moved to a solid-liquid separator (500). In the solid-liquid separator, use a centrifuge or filter to separate DMT crystals and EG-enriched liquid methanol. The advantage of DMT obtained through the above process is that the recovery efficiency of DMT is quite high, and high purity can be obtained.

富含EG的液态甲醇是含有过量EG和甲醇的液体,其还包含少量的低聚物。EG-enriched liquid methanol is a liquid containing excess EG and methanol, which also contains small amounts of oligomers.

随后,富含EG的液态甲醇传输至蒸馏塔(600)进行后续的分离过程以分离成为EG、低聚物和甲醇。此时,蒸馏塔(600)可以以连续式或间歇式运行。蒸馏塔(600)中分离的甲醇存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中,低聚物可经由传输管(130)再循环至第一反应器(100),EG存贮在EG贮存器中。Subsequently, the EG-enriched liquid methanol is transferred to a distillation column (600) for a subsequent separation process to separate into EG, oligomers and methanol. At this time, the distillation column (600) can be operated continuously or batchwise. The methanol separated in the distillation column (600) is stored in the methanol storage (30), the oligomers can be recycled to the first reactor (100) via the transfer pipe (130), and the EG is stored in the EG storage.

有利效果beneficial effect

根据本发明,通过使来自甲醇醇解反应器(200)的甲醇醇解产物与塔底部的液体池直接接触以液化DMT和EG,并蒸发来自甲醇贮存器的作为精馏塔(300)中回流物的原料甲醇,从而可以在精馏塔(300)中分离气态甲醇。此外,由于精馏塔中分离的气态甲醇经由循环压缩机(61)或鼓风机再循环至第二反应器(200),并通过第二反应器(200)下部的气泡发生器(90)在反应器的内部与聚酯溶液直接接触以发生甲醇醇解反应,可以显著地节省现有的甲醇再循环过程中因重复进行蒸发和液化所产生的能源成本。此外,因为不必使用现有甲醇再循环过程所用的甲醇蒸发器、加热器和高压泵,可以简化装置并显著节省装置成本。According to the present invention, DMT and EG are liquefied by bringing the methanolysis product from the methanolysis reactor (200) into direct contact with the liquid pool at the bottom of the column and evaporating the methanol from the methanol reservoir as reflux in the rectification column (300) The raw material methanol of product, thereby can separate gaseous methanol in rectifying column (300). In addition, since the gaseous methanol separated in the rectification tower is recycled to the second reactor (200) via the recycle compressor (61) or blower, and passes through the bubble generator (90) at the lower part of the second reactor (200) in the reaction The interior of the reactor is in direct contact with the polyester solution for the methanolysis reaction, which can significantly save the energy cost caused by repeated evaporation and liquefaction in the existing methanol recycling process. In addition, since it is not necessary to use the methanol evaporator, heater and high-pressure pump used in the existing methanol recycling process, the installation can be simplified and the installation cost can be significantly saved.

此外,通过操控由精馏塔(300)的上部流出的气体来调节第二反应器(200)和精馏塔(300)中的压力,可自由地调节反应条件和精馏条件,而且通过引入结晶槽(400)和固液分离器(500)还可以获得单体的高回收效率和高纯度的单体DMT。In addition, by adjusting the pressure in the second reactor (200) and the rectification column (300) by manipulating the gas flowing out from the upper part of the rectification column (300), the reaction conditions and rectification conditions can be adjusted freely, and by introducing The crystallization tank (400) and the solid-liquid separator (500) can also obtain high monomer recovery efficiency and high-purity monomer DMT.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

下面将详细描述由聚酯废料再循环原料的装置和方法。The apparatus and method for recycling raw materials from polyester waste will be described in detail below.

首先,将聚酯废料等原料放入原料进料器(10)中,然后送入第一反应器(100)。原料进料器(10)是原料供应器,可以采用挤出机、螺杆进料机或气闸阀,不过并不限于此。聚酯废料可以以具有适宜尺寸的粉末至薄片等固体形式给料,或者以熔融形式给料。第一反应器(100)可以以连续、半连续或间歇等类型运行。将预定量的EG和甲醇注入第一反应器(100)中以发生解聚反应,并在必要时可将蒸馏塔(600)中分离的低聚物放入第一反应器(100)中以参与反应。将反应器的温度升至所需温度之后,原料甲醇由甲醇贮存器(30)经传输管(120b)供应至第一反应器(100),以使反应器内的压力达到所需的反应压力。此时,甲醇连续送入以使反应器内的压力维持恒压。由于该第一反应器(100)中乙二醇醇解反应和甲醇醇解反应在高压下同时发生,聚酯废料的分子量显著减少,因而聚酯废料变为DMT和低聚物的溶液态。First, raw materials such as polyester waste are put into the raw material feeder (10), and then sent into the first reactor (100). The raw material feeder (10) is a raw material supplier, which can be an extruder, a screw feeder or an air lock valve, but is not limited thereto. Polyester waste can be fed in solid form ranging from powder to flakes with suitable dimensions, or in molten form. The first reactor (100) can operate in a continuous, semi-continuous or batch type. A predetermined amount of EG and methanol are injected into the first reactor (100) to cause a depolymerization reaction, and if necessary, oligomers separated in the distillation column (600) may be put into the first reactor (100) to Reacted. After the temperature of the reactor is raised to the required temperature, the raw methanol is supplied to the first reactor (100) from the methanol storage (30) through the transfer pipe (120b), so that the pressure in the reactor reaches the required reaction pressure . At this time, methanol was continuously fed to maintain a constant pressure in the reactor. Since the glycolysis reaction and the methanolysis reaction in the first reactor (100) occur simultaneously under high pressure, the molecular weight of the polyester waste material is significantly reduced, and thus the polyester waste material becomes a solution state of DMT and oligomers.

在处于低压的连续第二反应器(200)中,由第一反应器(100)经由传输管(70a)和传输阀(80a)传输的反应物与来自精馏塔(300)的经气泡发生器(90)供应的甲醇在第二反应器(200)的下部反应,以发生甲醇醇解反应。反应产物通过与反应器顶部连接的传输管(70b)和传输阀(80b)以气相形式排出。因此,当第二反应器(200)内的液面降低时预定量的反应物由第一反应器(100)传输。此时,传输通过压差自动进行。优选的是将阀设置在传输管(70a)的下部以控制第二反应器(200)内部的反应液的液面,可以将控制器与传输管的阀(80a)连接以使阀通过控制器而自动运行。In the continuous second reactor (200) at low pressure, the reactants transferred from the first reactor (100) via the transfer pipe (70a) and transfer valve (80a) are generated with the bubbles from the rectification column (300) The methanol supplied by the reactor (90) reacts in the lower part of the second reactor (200) to produce methanolysis reaction. The reaction product is discharged in gaseous phase through a transfer pipe (70b) connected to the top of the reactor and a transfer valve (80b). Thus, a predetermined amount of reactant is delivered from the first reactor (100) when the liquid level in the second reactor (200) is lowered. In this case, the transfer takes place automatically via the differential pressure. It is preferable that the valve is arranged on the lower part of the transfer pipe (70a) to control the liquid level of the reaction liquid inside the second reactor (200), and the controller can be connected with the valve (80a) of the transfer pipe so that the valve passes through the controller. And run automatically.

当第一反应器(100)以间歇方式运行时,向传输反应物至第二反应器(200)的第一反应器(100)中,装入固体聚酯废料,并送入低聚物和EG溶液以及甲醇,这样通过重复上述过程可启动新的间歇式反应。When the first reactor (100) is operated in batch mode, the first reactor (100), which transfers reactants to the second reactor (200), is charged with solid polyester waste and fed with oligomers and EG solution and methanol, so that a new batch reaction can be started by repeating the above process.

也就是说,聚酯废料通过高压反应在第一反应器(100)中转化为DMT和低聚物,通过甲醇醇解由第二反应器(200)连续排出气态DMT、EG、低聚物和甲醇。此时,当第二反应器(200)中的液面下降时,第一反应器(100)中的反应物再次传输至第二反应器(200)以满足所需液面,并在第一反应器(100)中开始新的间歇过程。That is, polyester waste is converted into DMT and oligomers in the first reactor (100) by high pressure reaction, and gaseous DMT, EG, oligomers and oligomers are continuously discharged from the second reactor (200) by methanolysis. Methanol. At this time, when the liquid level in the second reactor (200) drops, the reactant in the first reactor (100) is transferred to the second reactor (200) again to meet the required liquid level, and A new batch process starts in reactor (100).

同时,由第二反应器(200)排出的气态反应产物通过传输管(70b)传送至精馏塔(300),与精馏塔(300)下部的液体池直接接触以液化DMT和EG并蒸发甲醇。由于甲醇和其他产物通过该直接接触分离,因此可以节省大量能量。At the same time, the gaseous reaction product discharged from the second reactor (200) is transferred to the rectification column (300) through the transfer pipe (70b), and directly contacts with the liquid pool at the lower part of the rectification column (300) to liquefy DMT and EG and evaporate Methanol. Since methanol and other products are separated by this direct contact, significant energy savings can be achieved.

此外,将原料甲醇注入精馏塔(300)的上部以使其回流,该液体流和反应产物的气体流在塔板或填料段彼此接触,以仅使甲醇通过塔的顶部分离。使用与精馏塔(300)连接的循环压缩机(61)或鼓风机将分离的甲醇蒸气注入第二反应器(200)。之后,甲醇通过气泡发生器(90)与第二反应器(200)内部的聚酯溶液接触以发生甲醇醇解反应。In addition, raw methanol is injected into the upper part of the rectification column (300) to reflux, and the liquid stream and the gaseous stream of the reaction product contact each other in trays or packing sections to separate methanol only through the top of the column. The separated methanol vapor is injected into the second reactor (200) using a recycle compressor (61) or blower connected to the rectification column (300). Afterwards, the methanol contacts the polyester solution inside the second reactor (200) through the bubble generator (90) to generate methanolysis reaction.

此外,在经由精馏塔(300)的顶部排出的甲醇的量过多时,利用背压式调节器(31)或其他压力调节阀使部分甲醇气体流出以调节第二反应器(200)和精馏塔(300)中的压力,并在冷凝后存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中。In addition, when the amount of methanol discharged through the top of the rectifying tower (300) is too much, use a back pressure regulator (31) or other pressure regulating valves to let part of the methanol gas flow out to adjust the second reactor (200) and the rectifying reactor (200). The pressure in the distillation column (300) and stored in the methanol storage (30) after condensation.

相反,当送入第二反应器(200)的甲醇的量应当增加时,甲醇贮存器(30)中的甲醇被更多地送入精馏塔(300)的上部并蒸发以送入第二反应器(200)。通过调节精馏塔下部的温度可以调节精馏塔(300)底部的DMT的浓度。通过调节由甲醇贮存器(30)经过传输管(120a)送入精馏塔(300)上部的原料甲醇的注入量(回流量)可以控制温度,并在考虑到甲醇气体的再循环流速或循环流速时可确定精馏塔(300)下部的加热量。On the contrary, when the amount of methanol sent into the second reactor (200) should be increased, more methanol in the methanol storage (30) is sent to the upper part of the rectification column (300) and evaporated to be sent to the second reactor (200). Reactor (200). The concentration of DMT at the bottom of the rectification column (300) can be adjusted by adjusting the temperature of the lower part of the rectification column. The temperature can be controlled by adjusting the injection rate (return rate) of the raw material methanol sent to the upper part of the rectification column (300) through the transfer pipe (120a) from the methanol storage (30), and in consideration of the recirculation flow rate or circulation of methanol gas The heating amount of the lower part of the rectification column (300) can be determined at the flow rate.

将在精馏塔(300)下部液化的DMT和富含EG的甲醇溶液传输至结晶槽(400)。DMT通过蒸发冷却而结晶,DMT和富含EG的液态甲醇在与结晶槽(400)相邻布置的固液分离器(500)中分离。随后,将富含EG的液态甲醇传输至蒸馏塔(600),并分离成为EG、甲醇和一些低聚物。将分离的甲醇存贮在甲醇贮存器(30)中,并收集EG。此外,将蒸馏塔(600)底部获得的低聚物送入第一反应器(100),再次进行解聚。The DMT and EG-rich methanol solution liquefied in the lower part of the rectification column (300) are transferred to the crystallization tank (400). DMT is crystallized by evaporative cooling, and the DMT and EG-rich liquid methanol are separated in a solid-liquid separator (500) arranged adjacent to the crystallization tank (400). Subsequently, the EG-enriched liquid methanol is transferred to a distillation column (600) and separated into EG, methanol and some oligomers. The separated methanol is stored in the methanol storage (30) and the EG is collected. In addition, the oligomers obtained at the bottom of the distillation column (600) are sent to the first reactor (100) for depolymerization again.

尽管本发明是对于具体实施方式来描述的,不过对于本领域的技术人员显而易见的是可以进行各种变化和改进而不会背离权利要求书中所限定的本发明的精神和范围。Although the invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
