Can we use the joint alcohol process to produce monool?
Thread Content
As the title states, using the combined alcohol process, only methanol is produced. If possible, what conditions need to be changed or is it not good to use the combined alcohol process for monoalcohol production?
The design I made is a synthesis-distillation process design with an annual output of 50,000 tons of methanol. The teacher said that it is better to use combined alcohols, and the domestic technology is relatively mature. If joint alcohol is used, is it mono-alcohol production? In this case, does the raw gas need the components required for ammonia synthesis? If the alcohol-to-ammonium ratio is not known, it cannot be calculated. If it is mono-alcohol production, it is not easy to find relevant information, which is the data required for calculation, such as the methanol content of the tower gas and the partial composition of the circulating gas. Without these data, it is impossible to perform material balance calculations. I am depressed. . .
Calculate the amount of alcohol based on the amount of carbon, and calculate the amount of ammonia based on the amount of remaining hydrogen.
Since it is a combined alcohol, of course, the composition of synthetic ammonia must be considered. Ventilating air during ventilation is OK. Simply venting oxygen is normal.
Okay, I have started to calculate based on the alcohol to ammonia ratio of 40%, referring to the factory data. Thank you everyone
Since it is a combined alcohol, of course, the composition of synthetic ammonia must be considered. It is OK to ventilate it with air. Just ventilate it with oxygen. There is no need to change anything, just follow the process of connecting alcohol.
