Problems solved by technology

Using the existing solid-liquid separation methods such as centrifugal filtration, pressure filtration, vacuum suction filtration, etc., not only the process is cumbersome, the investment is large, and the washing efficiency is low, but also the caprolactam in the mother liquor is easy to precipitate crystal scars on the wall of the filter equipment during operation. cause operational difficulties
Especially caprolactam, due to its inherent characteristics, the resulting crystals are sheet-like structures with poor strength and are easily broken, which makes solid-liquid separation and washing and filtration more difficult, thus limiting the wide application of crystallization.

specific Embodiment approach

[0037] A method for purifying ε-caprolactam, comprising:

[0038] (1) Crystallizing crude ε-caprolactam containing impurities in the presence of solvent A to obtain a crystal slurry containing solvent A;

[0039] (2) washing the crystal slurry obtained in step (1) with solvent B to obtain the washed crystal slurry and mother liquor containing solvent B;

[0040] (3) Add water to dissolve the washed crystal slurry obtained in step (2), and separate phases to obtain an organic phase and an aqueous solution of ε-caprolactam;

[0041] (4) In the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, the ε-caprolactam aqueous solution is contacted with hydrogen, and the water is removed by distillation to obtain ε-caprolactam.

[0042] Preferably, the organic phase obtained in step (3) is preferably returned to step (2) for reuse; the water recovered in step (4) is preferably returned to step (3) for reuse.

[0043] In the method provided by the present invention, step (1) is to continuously feed...

Embodiment 1

[0088] Take 600 grams of crude caprolactam and 600 grams of isopropyl ether and add them to a 2L glass kettle with stirring and a jacket. Heat hot water in the jacket to 70 degrees until the caprolactam is completely dissolved. Under stirring, adjust the jacket The temperature of the water inside is gradually lowered to 20° C. to obtain a crystal slurry of caprolactam.

[0089] Transfer the above crystal slurry into a jacketed washing column with a diameter of 20 mm and a height of 200 mm, continuously inject 1140 g (2 times the solvent) of normal temperature n-heptane from the bottom for countercurrent washing, and extract the mother liquor from the top.

[0090] The concentration of the crystal slurry after washing is about 50%. Transfer it to a 2L separatory funnel, add water and mix evenly, let it settle at room temperature, separate the caprolactam aqueous solution from the bottom, transfer it to a 2L autoclave, and add 5 grams of powder loaded with 2% palladium. Shaped h...

Embodiment 2

[0092] Make a mixed solvent of 150 grams of isopropyl ether and 450 grams of n-heptane, take 200 grams of the mixed solvent and add it to a 2L crystallization kettle with stirring and a jacket, and heat the jacket to raise the temperature in the kettle to 80°C , take 400 grams of crude caprolactam and 400 grams of mixed solvent and mix them uniformly at 40° C., and gradually drop them into a crystallization kettle under stirring to obtain crystal slurry of caprolactam.

[0093] Put hot water at 40°C into the jacket of the washing column, transfer the above crystal slurry into the washing column, take 380 grams (1 times the solvent) of n-heptane and 11 grams of pure caprolactam, and make a saturated solution at 40°C, from the bottom of the washing column Continuous feeding is performed for countercurrent washing, and the mother liquor is drawn out from the top.

[0094] Follow-up operations were carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain 383 grams of purified capr...

Abstract

The invention discloses a purification method and a purification device of caprolactam. The method comprises process of crystallization, extraction in water, hydrogenation and evaporation dehydration, no solid-separation is needed, a high-quality epsilon-caprolactam product can be produced, and thus the method is particularly applicable to refining of crude epsilon-caprolactam obtained through gas phase rearrangement. The caprolactam purification device disclosed by the invention comprises a crystallizer, a countercurrent washer, a phase separator, a hydrogenation reactor and distillation equipment which are connected in sequence. The device is simple in structure, capable of continuous operation and applicable to a purification process of crude caprolactam.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method and device for ε-caprolactam. More specifically, it relates to a purification method and purification apparatus for crude ε-caprolactam containing impurities. Background technique [0002] ε-caprolactam (hereinafter referred to as caprolactam) is an important monomer of synthetic fibers and synthetic resins, mainly used in the manufacture of polyamide fibers (nylon 6), resins and films. The known production methods of caprolactam include cyclohexanone oxime liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement method using oleum as catalyst, cyclohexanone oxime gas-phase Beckmann rearrangement method using solid zeolite as catalyst, and methods such as depolymerization of waste polymers. . The caprolactam prepared by these methods inevitably contains a large variety of organic impurities, which seriously affect the quality of caprolactam, and therefore must be purified before application. Known caprolactam purific...
