Abstract

Abstract:

For the four-stage series reaction section of the 300kt/a propylene epoxidation to propylene oxide, the sensitivity analysis of the effect of operating conditions on hydrogen peroxide conversion and propylene oxide selectivity was conducted by Aspen Plus software. The hydrogen peroxide conversion rate was 97.39% and propylene oxide selectivity rate was 96.69% under suitable conditions of reaction pressure 1.8MPa, reaction temperature 55℃, propylene mass space velocity 0.6h^-1, and mass concentration of hydrogen peroxide 20%, and the consumption of propylene and hydrogen peroxide was reduced by 89.84t/a and 73.28 t/a, respectively, which translated to reduction of 820.20t/a in carbon dioxide emissions by altering the switching mode between reactors. The research results have guiding significance for the industrial operation of propylene epoxidation to propylene oxide.

Key words: propylene oxide, optimization, carbon emissions, propylene epoxidation
