蒸留塔と、前記蒸留塔に接続された、塔頂ガスの凝縮器と、を有する蒸留装置を用いてアクリロニトリル、シアン化水素及び水を含む溶液を蒸留する工程を含むアクリロニトリルの精製方法であって、
前記蒸留塔のフィード段より上部かつ前記蒸留塔の最上段より下部に位置する温度制御段の温度を一定に維持する工程を含む方法である。
急冷塔6上部から取り出されるガスをライン8により吸収塔9に導入する。吸収塔9の塔頂に回収塔12から抜き出した水を吸収水としてライン14から供給し、反応生成ガス中のアクリロニトリル、アセトニトリル及びシアン化水素を水に吸収させる。吸収されなかったプロピレン、プロパン、酸素、窒素、二酸化炭素、一酸化炭素等及び微量の有機物等は、吸収塔の塔頂のライン11より抜き出す。吸収塔9の塔底液はライン10より回収塔12に供給する。
回収塔12の塔頂に抽出水をライン15から導入し、抽出蒸留によりアセトニトリルを抽出分離する。アセトニトリルはライン16よりプロセス系外に抜き出す。また、大部分の水はライン13よりプロセス系外に抜き出す。回収塔の塔頂からライン17によりアクリロニトリル、シアン化水素及び水を留出し、図示していない凝縮器で凝縮した後、図示していないデカンターで有機層と水層の二層に分離する。アクリロニトリル、シアン化水素及び少量の水を含む有機層を脱青酸脱水塔18に供給する。水層は、(ライン10より)回収塔供給液又は(ライン15より)抽出水等として、前工程にリサイクルする。
温度制御段の温度の上限値及び下限値を設定する場合には、温度制御段の温度が下限値以上、上限値以下で推移するように、冷媒の供給量を調整弁によって調整することができる。
まず、リボイラーの加熱量と凝縮器の除熱量を一定にして、キー物質の濃度(質量%)を各段において調べる(濃度プロファイル)。併せて、各段の温度も測定しておく(温度プロファイル)。次いで、リボイラーの加熱量は変更しないで、凝縮器の除熱量のみを変更し、濃度プロファイル及び温度プロファイルを測定する。凝縮器の除熱量が異なる場合のそれぞれの塔内の温度プロファイルを比較した時、仮に、フィード段の温度同士及び最上段の温度同士がそれぞれの場合で同一であっても、フィード段より上部かつ最上段より下部に位置する各段の温度が異なる場合があり、このとき、各ケースの塔頂及び塔底のキー物質濃度には相違が生じる。つまり、フィード段及び/又は最上段の温度のみを監視していても、塔頂及び塔底のキー物質の濃度を制御することはできない。本発明者は、フィード段より上部かつ最上段より下部に位置する段の温度変化が、キー物質濃度に影響することを発見した。
そして、濃度プロファイルにおいて塔頂及び塔底のキー物質の濃度が逆転する段、具体的には、アクリロニトリル濃度がシアン化水素濃度より低い段のうち、最も下部の段(最下段)の温度、及び/又はアクリロニトリル濃度がシアン化水素濃度より高い段のうち、最も上部の段(最上段)は、塔頂及び/又は塔底のキー物質濃度に強い相関を示すことを見出した。
アクリロニトリルは塔底において高濃度であり、シアン化水素は塔頂において高濃度であるため、両者の濃度はある段で逆転することになるが、この逆転する段はフィード段より上部であって、最上段より下部に位置しており、この段の温度が塔頂及び/又は塔底におけるキー物質の濃度に影響する。従って、濃度プロファイルを参照して、キー物質濃度が逆転する段を、温度制御段の位置として決定することが好ましい。そして、好ましい温度プロファイルにおけるその温度制御段の温度から、目標温度を設定することができる。一般的には好ましい温度プロファイルにおいて、温度制御段の温度は急激な変化を示し、温度プロファイルの変曲点が温度制御段に該当する場合が多い。

前記温度調節計によって前記温度制御段の温度が目標温度を超えた場合には前記調整弁の開度が調整されることにより冷媒の供給量が増やされ、前記温度制御段の温度が目標温度未満の場合には前記調整弁の開度が調整されることにより冷媒の供給量が減らされる、蒸留装置。

ここで当該段を温度制御段B、当該段に設置された温度計を温度計22b、当該段の目標温度を48℃として、当該段の温度が48℃となるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した。
アクリロニトリル生産量を11.5±0.2t/hとした時期約6ヶ月間、上記運転を継続した。この間、温度制御段の温度は、48±0.4℃であった。
脱青酸脱水塔は安定的に運転でき、この間、脱青酸脱水塔塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度は300±20ppmであり、塔底から抜き出されるアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度は40±10ppmであった。またこの間、アクリロニトリル製品中のシアン化水素濃度は5ppm以下であり、高品質のアクリロニトリル製品を安定的に取得できた。また、粗シアン化水素の純度も安定しており、シアン化水素誘導体の品質にも問題はなかった。
生産計画の変更によりアクリロニトリル生産量を12.7t/hに増量したこと以外は、実施例1と同一の設備及び方法でアクリロニトリルを製造した。
リボイラー熱量は2540×103kcal/hまで増加させた。脱青酸脱水塔18の温度制御段Bの温度が48℃となるよう温度調節計22aを介して、冷媒20aの流量調節弁20bを制御した。脱青酸脱水塔18の塔内の各温度及びデカンター23dの温度は、実施例1とほぼ同一であった。
アクリロニトリル生産量を12.7±0.2t/hとした時期約3ヶ月間、上記運転を継続した。この間、温度制御段の温度は、48±0.4℃であった。脱青酸脱水塔18は安定的に運転でき、この間、脱青酸脱水塔塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度は300±20ppmであり、塔底から抜き出されるアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度は40±10ppmであった。またこの間、アクリロニトリル製品中のシアン化水素濃度は5ppm以下であり、高品質のアクリロニトリル製品を安定的に取得できた。また、粗シアン化水素の純度も安定しており、シアン化水素誘導体の品質にも問題はなかった。
実施例1と同じ条件でアクリロニトリルの製造を行い、リボイラー24aの加熱量と凝縮器20の除熱量を一定にして、フィード段より上部の各段におけるアクリロニトリル濃度とシアン化水素濃度を測定した結果、アクリロニトリル濃度がシアン化水素濃度より高い段のうち、最も下部の段は塔底から数えて50段であった。
次に、リボイラー24aの加熱量を一定としたままで、塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度を300ppmとなるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した結果、当該段の温度は51℃であった。
ここで当該段を温度制御段B、当該段に設置された温度計を温度計22b、当該段の目標温度を48℃として、当該段の温度が51℃となるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した。
アクリロニトリル生産量を11.5±0.2t/hとした時期約6ヶ月間、上記運転を継続した。この間、温度制御段の温度は、51±0.4℃であった。脱青酸脱水塔は安定的に運転でき、この間、脱青酸脱水塔塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度は300±20ppmであり、塔底から抜き出されるアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度は40±10ppmであった。またこの間、アクリロニトリル製品中のシアン化水素濃度は5ppm以下であり、高品質のアクリルニトリル製品を安定的に取得できた。また、粗シアン化水素の純度も安定しており、シアン化水素誘導体の品質にも問題はなかった。
プロパン、アンモニア及び空気を実施例1と同じ流動層反応器1に供給し、プロパンのアンモ酸化反応を下記の通り行った。
流動層触媒は、粒径10~100μm、平均粒径55μmであるモリブデン-バナジウム系担持触媒を用い、静止層高2.2mとなるよう充填した。空気分散板から空気を64500Nm3/h供給し、原料ガス分散管からプロパン4300Nm3/h及びアンモニアを4300Nm3/h供給した。反応温度は440℃となるよう除熱管で制御した。圧力は0.75kg/cm2Gであった。
反応生成ガスを急冷塔6に導入し、水と向流接触させた。また、未反応のアンモニアを硫酸で中和除去した。
急冷塔6から取り出したガスをライン8より吸収塔9に導入した。塔頂ライン14より吸収水を導入し、ガスと向流接触させ、ガス中のアクリロニトリル、アセトニトリル及びシアン化水素を水中に吸収させた。未吸収のガスは、吸収塔塔頂ライン11より取り出し、焼却した。吸収塔塔頂から取り出したガス中のアクリロニトリル濃度が100volppmとなるよう、吸収水量を調整した。
吸収塔塔底液を予熱し、回収塔12に供給した。回収塔でアセトニトリル及び大部分の水を分離し、塔頂ライン17からアクリロニトリル、シアン化水素及び水を留出させた。該留出蒸気を凝縮し、有機層と水層を形成させ、水層は回収塔の供給ライン10にリサイクルし、有機層は脱青酸脱水塔18に供給した。
脱青酸脱水塔18へのフィード液は、ライン17に設置された図示していない流量計及び温度計により、質量及び温度を測定した。測定値は、それぞれ6219kg/h及び35.0℃であった。
脱青酸脱水塔18の塔頂ライン19から粗シアン化水素ガスを抜き出して凝縮器20に送り、冷却して分縮した。凝縮器20に用いた冷媒20aは、6℃の水であった。凝縮したシアン化水素液を塔頂に還流し、凝縮しなかった不純物の少ないシアン化水素ガスをライン21から系外に抜き出した。
脱青酸脱水塔18の24段から塔内液を抜き出し、サイドカットクーラー23bで冷却した。サイドカットクーラー23bに用いた冷媒23aは、25℃の水であった。サイドカットクーラーの除熱量Q3は、デカンター23dの液温が30℃となるように、冷媒23aの流量で調整した。塔から抜き出したサイド流は、デカンター23dにて有機層と水層の二層に分離し、水層は、ライン23fにより抜き出し、回収塔12の供給液にリサイクルした。有機層はライン23eにより、塔の23段に戻した。
リボイラー24aの熱源には、回収塔12下部から抜き出した110℃のプロセス水を用いた。与えた熱量Q1は、250×103kcal/h/t-アクリロニトリルとし、製品塔25にて製品として取得したアクリロニトリルの質量が、時間当たり5.22tであったので、1305×103kcal/hとなるよう、リボイラー24aに通じるプロセス水24bの流量を調整した。
塔底ライン24から粗アクリロニトリルを抜き出し、製品塔25に供給した。塔底抜出液は、ライン24に設置された図示していない流量計により、質量を測定し、その測定値は5312kg/hであった。塔底抜出液の温度は、脱青酸脱水塔18の塔底の液温と同一であり86℃であった。
ここで、リボイラー24aの加熱量と凝縮器20の除熱量を一定にして、フィード段より上部の各段におけるアクリロニトリル濃度とシアン化水素濃度を測定した結果、アクリロニトリル濃度がシアン化水素濃度より低い段のうち、最も下部の段は塔底から数えて51段であった。
次に、リボイラー24aの加熱量を一定としたままで、塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度を300ppmとなるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した結果、当該段の温度は48℃であった。
ここで当該段を温度制御段B、当該段に設置された温度計を温度計22b、当該段の目標温度を48℃として、当該段の温度が48℃となるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した。
アクリロニトリル生産量を5.22±0.17t/hとした時期約4ヶ月間、上記運転を継続した。この間、温度制御段Bの温度は、48±0.4℃であった。脱青酸脱水塔は安定的に運転でき、この間、脱青酸脱水塔塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度は300±10ppmであり、塔底から抜き出されるアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度は40±10ppm以下であった。またこの間、アクリロニトリル製品中のシアン化水素濃度は5ppm以下であり、高品質のアクリロニトリル製品を安定的に取得できた。また、粗シアン化水素の純度も安定しており、シアン化水素誘導体の品質にも問題はなかった。

次に、リボイラー24aの加熱量を一定としたままで、塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度を300ppmとなるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した結果、当該段の温度は51℃であった。
ここで当該段を温度制御段B、当該段に設置された温度計を温度計22b、当該段の目標温度を48℃として、当該段の温度が51℃となるように凝縮器の除熱量を調整した。
アクリロニトリル生産量を5.22±0.17t/hとした時期約4ヶ月間、上記運転を継続した。この間、温度制御段Bの温度は、51±0.4℃であった。脱青酸脱水塔は安定的に運転でき、この間、脱青酸脱水塔塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中のアクリロニトリル濃度は300±20ppmであり、塔底から抜き出されるアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度は40±10ppmであった。またこの間、アクリロニトリル製品中のシアン化水素濃度は5ppm以下であり、高品質のアクリロニトリル製品を安定的に取得できた。また、粗シアン化水素の純度も安定しており、シアン化水素誘導体の品質にも問題はなかった。

製造開始から2ヵ月後に製品として取得したアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素の濃度が20ppmまで上昇しオフスペック品となった。この時、脱青酸脱水塔の塔底液中のシアン化水素濃度は、120wtppmであった。凝縮器の除熱量Q2が過多と判断し、凝縮器に通じる冷媒の流量を下げてQ2を減少させたところ、製品として取得したアクリロニトリル中のシアン化水素濃度が5ppmまで減少しオンスペック品となった。また、塔頂から留出するシアン化水素中に留出するアクリロニトリルの割合は600ppmまで上昇し、シアン化水素誘導体の品質が落ちていた。この間、脱青酸脱水塔の最上段の温度は30℃で変化がなかった。
