The application discloses a process for recycling
pyridine or
pyridine derivatives from waste residues in the synthesis of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, comprising: mixing the waste residues separated after the synthesis reaction of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene with water in a
mass ratio of 1:0.5-2.5 to obtain a mixture, adding alkali to the mixture to perform a
neutralization reaction, controlling the
reaction temperature to be 0-50 DEG C, adjusting the end point pH value to 6-10 to obtain a
neutralization liquid; centrifuging or filtering the
neutralization liquid to obtain a filtrate, and extracting the filtrate with
chlorobenzene to obtain an extraction phase and a
raffinate phase; rectifying the extraction phase to obtain
chlorobenzene and recycled
pyridine or pyridine derivatives. The application can fully utilize
sodium chloride generated in the
system neutralization, does not need to introduce salt from outside, realizes
salting-out and then extraction, and returns the water phase after extraction to directly reuse, thereby reducing the
wastewater generation amount and
energy consumption for
wastewater reuse, greatly reducing the extraction difficulty of pyridine or pyridine derivatives, reducing the amount of extractant, and saving the
energy consumption of the rectification and
separation system.
