The invention belongs to the technical field of
recovery of p-methylphenol by-products, and particularly relates to a device and a method for recovering
sodium sulfate by utilizing the p-methylphenol by-products. Comprising a pulping tank, the pulping tank is sequentially connected with a filter, a decoloring kettle, a leaf filter, an
evaporator and a centrifugal
machine through pipelines, the centrifugal
machine is sequentially connected with a boiling dryer and a
packaging machine, the
liquid phase output end of the centrifugal
machine is connected with a high-whiteness
mother liquor tank and a low-whiteness
mother liquor tank in parallel through a pipeline, and the high-whiteness
mother liquor tank is connected to the liquid inlet end of the
evaporator through a pipeline. The low-whiteness mother liquor tank is connected to the pulping tank through a pipeline, and the condensate water output end of the
evaporator is connected with a condensate water tank through a pipeline. According to the method, the by-product can be converted into the high-purity I-class premium-grade
sodium sulfate, so that waste is turned into wealth, the treatment cost of the by-product is reduced, additional
economic benefits are brought, and the profit margin of p-methylphenol is improved.
