    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: A process for making propene oxide involves reacting propene with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of methanol, a titanium zeolite epoxidation catalyst, and nitrogen containing compounds present in an amount of from 100 to 3000 mg/kg of hydrogen peroxide. Non-reacted propene is separated from the reaction mixture; the propene depleted reaction mixture is continuously distilled in a distillation column providing an overhead product stream containing propene oxide and methanol and a bottoms product stream; and propene oxide is separated from the overhead product stream. An acid is added to the propane depleted reaction mixture and/or to the distillation column at the same level or above the feed point for the propene depleted reaction mixture and/or contacted to the feed to the distillation column to provide an apparent pH in the bottoms product stream of from 3 to 4.5, which reduces the nitrogen content of the separated propene oxide.

    摘要: A propylene oxide separation system that comprises a distillation column, a decanter, and water wash system. The distillation column is configured to receive a crude propylene oxide stream, discharge an impurity stream that comprises methanol and water, and discharge a bottoms stream that comprises a majority of the propylene oxide entering in the crude propylene oxide stream. The decanter is configured to receive at least a portion of the impurity stream and a hydrocarbon solvent to provide for formation in the decanter of an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase comprises propylene oxide and hydrocarbon solvent, and is sent to the distillation column. The aqueous phase comprises a majority weight percent of the methanol and the water entering in the impurity stream. The water wash system is configured to receive and purge the aqueous phase from the propylene oxide separation system.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing propylene oxide comprising the steps: (a) oxidizing alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol with air to form a first reaction mixture comprising hydrogen peroxide and acetophenone; (b) reacting propylene with the first reaction mixture in the presence of a catalyst to form a second reaction mixture comprising propylene oxide; (c) separating the propylene oxide from the second reaction mixture to form a third reaction mixture; (d) heating the third reaction mixture to decompose hydrogen peroxide, whereby a fourth reaction mixture is formed; (e) hydrogenating the acetophenone in the fourth reaction mixture with hydrogen to form a fifth reaction mixture comprising alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol; and (f) separating alpha-methylbenzyl alcohol from the fifth reaction mixture and returning the methyl benzyl alcohol to step (a).

    摘要: There is provided a manufacturing assembly for the production of an alkylene oxide and a stream of glycol ethers. The manufacturing assembly produces the alkylene oxide and stream of glycol without the use of equipment for separating substantially all of the alkyl alcohol from the alkylene oxide product stream. Thus, the use of additional pieces of equipment can be avoided, or the equipment required to effectuate any required further separation and/or purification may be smaller and/or cheaper to purchase and/or operate.

    摘要: A method for the oxidation of ethylene to form ethylene oxide is provided that includes passing an aqueous stream through a guard bed and one or more ion exchange treatment beds. The guard bed and the aqueous stream contain from about 0.2 to 20 wt % ethylene glycol. The guard bed contains a cross-linked polystyrene resin, partially functionalized with quaternary ammonium functional groups and the resin has a surface area of greater than 400 m2/g.
