石油设备网讯 据ICIS网站5月24日伦敦报道 德国化工巨头巴斯夫周五表示,巴斯夫已开发出一种二氧化碳中性法生产甲醇,并将申请专利。

虽然该方法仅在巴斯夫位于德国海德堡的子公司hte GmbH的一个试验工厂进行过测试,但巴斯夫相信工业应用可以保证甲醇生产过程中不产生二氧化碳。

根据巴斯夫的数据,目前甲醇生产过程是高污染的,约占化学工业温室气体(GHG)排放量的70%。

在欧洲,甲醇一般由合成气生产,主要通过蒸汽和自热重整从天然气中所获得。

巴斯夫生产甲醇的绿色工艺已被纳入公司所谓的碳管理计划。

该生产商相信,新的甲醇生产工艺将为基础化工开辟一个新的篇章。

巴斯夫中间体部项目经理Maximilian Vicary表示:“在使用巴斯夫的高压工艺首次工业化生产这种重要的基础化学品近100年后,我们现在在撰写甲醇历史上的最新篇章方面起到了领导作用。”

甲醇主要用于生产甲醛、甲基叔丁基醚(MTBE)和乙酸。少量用于对苯二甲酸二甲酯(DMT)、甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)、氯甲烷、甲胺、乙二醇甲醚的生产,以及二甲醚(DME)、生物柴油和直接掺入汽油燃料方面的应用。

BASF aims for industrial scale CO2-free methanol production

BASF has developed a carbon dioxide (CO2) neutral process to produce methanol and will apply for a patent, the Germany chemicals major said on Friday.

While the method has only been tested in a pilot plant at BASF’s subsidiary hte GmbH in Heidelberg, Germany, the chemicals major was confident that industrial applications could guarantee CO2-free methanol.

Current methanol production process are highly polluting, contributing for around 70% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the chemical industry, according to figures by BASF.

In Europe, methanol is mostly produced from syngas, primarily obtained from natural gas via steam and autothermal reforming.

BASF’s greener process for production of methanol has been included under the company’s so-called Carbon Management Program.

The producer is confident the new methanol production process will open up a “new chapter” for the basic chemical.

“Nearly 100 years after the first industrial-scale production of this important basic chemical using BASF’s high-pressure process, we are now taking a leading role in writing the newest chapter in the history of methanol,” said Maximilian Vicary, project manager at BASF’s Intermediates division.

Methanol is primarily used to produce formaldehyde, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and acetic acid. Smaller amounts go into production of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), methyl methacrylate (MMA), chloromethanes, methylamines, glycol methyl ethers, and fuels applications such dimethyl ether (DME), biodiesel and the direct blending into gasoline.
