Abstract

The invention discloses an immersed vacuum membrane distillation concentration method of an ethylene glycol solution, wherein the ethylene glycol solution is concentrated through a gas-dissolving and immersed vacuum membrane distillation technology. The method mainly comprises following steps: (A) pumping the ethylene glycol water solution and a gas to obtain a mixture and pumping the mixture into a water tank; (B) vacuumizing a permeation side of a hollow fiber membrane assembly immersed in the water tank so that condensable gas is condensed at the permeation side to form water and the ethylene glycol solution is intercepted at the water tank; and (C) performing circulating concentration until the mass concentration of the ethylene glycol solution is 70-80% (wt) to obtain a concentrated ethylene glycol solution, thereby achieving concentration and separation of the ethylene glycol solution. By means of the method, the ethylene glycol solution in a process of preparing ethylene glycol from oxirane through a hydration method can be deeply concentrated and dehydrated through membrane distillation and then can be purified in a rectification unit to obtain ethylene glycol. Compared with multiple-effect evaporation, the method is less in equipment investment, is high in treatment efficiency, is low in operation temperature and operation pressure and is low in energy consumption.
