CFD Simulation of Propylene/Propane Mixture Separation with Cryogenic Microchannel Distillation Technology

  • 摘要: 针对相对挥发度低、难以分离的混合物的低温精馏分离过程,建立了一套基于微通道精馏(MCD)的CFD模型并开展了深入的模拟研究。通过多物理场耦合,实现了对丙烯/丙烷两相流在微通道精馏设备内部相变传热和精馏传质过程的模拟。基于麦克斯韦-史蒂芬扩散模型,对不同温度、摩尔浓度条件下混合物的传质系数进行模拟计算。模拟结果显示经过3.8 mm的微通道精馏设备,可在170 kPa条件下对冷端235 K、热端239 K的液态丙烯/丙烷混合物进行高效分离,将产品丙烷的浓度由1%提升至2.1%。对模拟结果进行了优化分析,得到了结构、流场和温度对精馏传质效率的影响。研究成果对微通道低温精馏系统的精馏效率提高具有指导意义。

     

    Abstract: A CFD model based on MicroChannel Distillation (MCD) was built to simulate the separation process of mixtures with low relative volatility. The heat and mass transfer process of propylene/propane two-phase mixture flow in MCD equipment was simulated by multi-physics coupling. The mass transfer coefficients of mixture at different temperatures and molar concentrations were simulated based on the Maxwell-Stephan diffusion model. The results show that the liquid propylene/propane mixture with cold-end 235 K and hot-end 239 K can be efficiently separated under the condition of 170 kPa with 3.8 mm MCD equipment, and the propane concentration of the product can be increased from 1% to 2.1%. The effects of flow field, temperature and structure on the heat and mass transfer efficiency of distillation were obtained. This research has important guidance for improving the efficiency of cryogenic MCD system.
