    摘要: Ethylene oxide purification by quenching and washing ethylene oxide reactor effluent prior to passing the gaseous ethylene oxide-containing stream to an ethylene oxide absorber to form a dilute aqueous ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide solution and thereafter stripping that solution in an EO stripper to produce a gaseous ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide-containing overhead vapor which is then passed to a reabsorber wherein the ethylene oxide and part of the carbon dioxide vapors are absorbed to form an aqueous reabsorbate solution from which carbon dioxide is removed to produce an ethylene oxide-containing solution is improved by passing an impurities-containing liquid bleed stream obtained from the quench wash to a second, small quench bleed stripper where steam and carbon dioxide are added and gaseous overhead from that quench bleed stripper is passed to the reabsorber for recovery of the EO and removal of formaldehyde and other impurities.

    摘要: Provided are a separation tower and method for treating condensed water. In order to overcome the defects that an apparatus has high investment and energy consumption and requires high safety due to the need to use an organic phase as an extractant, the present disclosure provides a separation tower for treating condensed water. The water separation tower includes a tower body. Evaporation units for purifying the condensed water are disposed in the tower body. A final-effect condensation unit is disposed below the evaporation units and connected with a vacuum pump. The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: 1) the gravity is used, thereby omitting an intermediate pump and saving the power cost and a matching control system; 2) a pressure difference between every two effect evaporation units is designed, and heat energy provided by a first-effect evaporation unit is continuously evaporated to achieve separation, so that subsequent effect evaporation units do not require external heat sources; and 3) the degree of integration is high, the sealing property is good, a vacuum is easy to realize, a subsequent vacuum system is small, the energy consumption is low, a device is small in occupied area, the construction and installation cost is low, and the operation is simple.
