Background
Ethylene is used as the most important basic organic chemical raw material, and the production of ethylene is always dependent on petroleum cracking routes for a long time, so that the problems of environmental pollution and the like are also becoming serious. Along with the continuous rising of the price of crude oil, the rising of the price of ethylene cracking raw materials is initiated, meanwhile, the phenomenon of the supply and shortage of ethylene cracking raw materials is also very prominent, and in the face of the current situation, the energy utilization structure is regulated in all countries of the world, and new ethylene production routes are continuously searched. In 2010, along with the breakthrough of the united states in the shale gas field, a large amount of methane which is difficult to mine is mined, and chemical utilization of methane attracts great importance in the industry, so that research on ethylene and ethane prepared by oxidative coupling of methane becomes a research hotspot worldwide again.
The purpose of preparing ethylene by oxidative coupling of methane is to convert methane into ethylene under the action of catalyst, and the reaction products are complex and mainly comprise methane, ethylene, ethane, CO and CO 2 、O 2 And the like, a number of methods for separating ethylene from the reaction mixture have been proposed in the art.
US20150368167 discloses a process for separating OCM reaction products, whereby three product streams, a C2-rich stream, a nitrogen-rich stream and a methane-rich stream, are obtained by means of a separation unit. The OCM reaction product is first separated in a first separation column to obtain a C2-rich stream and a methane nitrogen stream, and then separated in a second separation column to obtain a nitrogen-rich stream and a methane-rich stream. As the separation methods all adopt low-temperature rectification, the temperature of the whole separation unit is very low, the temperature of the first separation tower top is as low as-162 ℃ and the temperature of the second separation tower top is as low as-210 ℃, the requirements on equipment materials are very high, the investment cost is greatly increased, and the energy consumption is high.
CN201710006765.X discloses a separation process of reaction products of methane oxidative coupling for preparing ethylene, wherein the reaction products are subjected to processes of compression, alcohol amine method, drying, cryogenic rectification and the like to separate components one by one, so that a polymerization grade ethylene product is finally obtained, and the ethylene recovery rate is more than 99%. This patent application significantly improves product quality, but the separation is still a cryogenic rectification requiring a cold box to provide a lower level of refrigeration.
WO2015105911 discloses a methane oxidative coupling system for the oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene and then ethylene to an alternative higher hydrocarbon product. However, in this patent application, the ethylene in the OCM product gas is combined with other components, such as unreacted methane, ethane, CO 2 Cryogenic rectification is still employed for separation of nitrogen, water, etc., with the first separator being used to separate methane/nitrogen from components above C2, the separator operating at temperatures as low as about-160℃, and the second separator being used to separate methane from nitrogen, the temperature being as low as about-200℃.
