Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical analysis and detection, and particularly relates to a method for detecting the content of ethylene glycol in esterification wastewater. Background Art
[0002] The content of ethylene glycol in the esterification wastewater during polyester production is an important indicator for measuring whether the process tower of the esterification system is operating normally. When the content of ethylene glycol in the esterification wastewater is too high, it not only increases the consumption of ethylene glycol during polyester production, but also causes a relatively high COD in the production wastewater, increasing the load of sewage treatment. This indicator has important reference value for enterprise production and environmental protection. Therefore, by measuring the content of ethylene glycol in the esterification wastewater, the operation condition of the process tower can be accurately judged, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing unit consumption and the load of sewage treatment.
[0003] At present, the titration method is used to test the content of ethylene glycol in the esterification wastewater during polyester production. Excessive periodic acid is used to oxidize ethylene glycol into formaldehyde. The remaining periodic acid can be reduced to iodate by potassium iodide, and the released equimolar iodine can be titrated with sodium arsenite standard solution (prepared by reacting arsenic trioxide with sodium hydroxide, arsenic trioxide is commonly known as arsenic, a highly toxic substance) using starch as an indicator in a sodium bicarbonate buffer solution. The content of ethylene glycol is calculated from the difference in the amount of sodium arsenite solution consumed in the sample and the blank test. The chemical reaction equations are as follows:
[0004] CH2OHCH2OH + HIO4 = 2HCHO + HIO3 + H2O
[0005] 2HIO4 + 14KI + 7H2SO4 = 7K2SO4 + 8H2O + 8I2
[0006] 2HIO3 + 10KI + 5H2SO4 = 5K2SO4 + 6H2O + 6I2
[0007]
[0008] In this method, the chemical reagent sodium arsenite is used. Sodium arsenite produces highly toxic arsenic trioxide when it encounters acid, posing a major drug safety risk. Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a safe and effective method for testing the content of ethylene glycol without using / producing highly toxic chemical reagents.

[0060] The present invention provides a method for detecting the content of ethylene glycol in esterification wastewater. The method is as follows: First, the wastewater to be detected is subjected to closed hydrothermal dissociation treatment to obtain a wastewater sample to be detected, and then the content of ethylene glycol in the wastewater sample to be detected is detected by gas chromatography quantitative analysis method; the internal standard method is adopted, the internal standard substance is 1,6 - hexanediol, and the chromatographic column is a strong polar chromatographic column. Specifically, it includes the following steps:
[0061] S1. Determine the ethylene glycol correction factor K:
[0062] Accurately pipette 12.5 - 50 mL of a methanol solution of ethylene glycol with a concentration of 5 - 20 g / L and 2.5 - 10 mL of an internal standard solution into a glass sample bottle. The internal standard solution is a methanol solution of 1,6 - hexanediol with a concentration of 0.2 - 0.8 g / L. Tighten the bottle cap and shake well to obtain a mixed solution. Pipette 0.3 - 1.2 μL of this mixed solution into a gas chromatograph for injection testing; after the peak emergence ends, read the peak areas of the internal standard substance and ethylene glycol from the chromatogram, and calculate the ethylene glycol correction factor K according to the following formula:
[0063]
[0064] In the formula: S EG is the peak area of ethylene glycol in the chromatogram, S NB is the peak area of the internal standard substance in the chromatogram, m EG is the mass of ethylene glycol in the injection mixed solution, m NB is the mass of the internal standard substance in the injection mixed solution.
[0065] S2. Closed hydrothermal dissociation treatment: Place the wastewater to be detected in a closed container, keep it at a temperature of 55°C to 80°C for 10 min to 30 min, and then cool it to room temperature to obtain a wastewater sample to be detected;
[0066] Acetaldehyde is produced during the polyester production process and exists in the esterification wastewater. When it reacts with ethylene glycol in the wastewater, a trace amount of the intermediate substance 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2-MD, C4H8O3) is formed. When directly sampling the wastewater and testing it using a gas chromatograph (GC), due to the small amount of 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2-MD) present, the detected content of ethylene glycol will be lower than the actual value (because the ethylene glycol that reacts with acetaldehyde to form the intermediate substance 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane should also be counted as the ethylene glycol in the wastewater, but this part of ethylene glycol cannot be detected when directly using a gas chromatograph for testing, so the test value is lower than the actual value). The conventional sodium arsenite chemical titration method is a chemical reaction process, and sufficient chemical heat will be generated during the process, causing 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane to decompose into ethylene glycol and acetaldehyde, thereby releasing the ethylene glycol in 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (2-MD) and enabling it to be detected; so this part of ethylene glycol will be counted into the total ethylene glycol content in the wastewater, that is, the ethylene glycol content determined by the sodium arsenite chemical titration method includes this part of ethylene glycol present in 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to ensure the detection of this part of ethylene glycol, the wastewater sample to be tested is first subjected to a closed hydrothermal dissociation treatment to release this part of ethylene glycol present in 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy. The reaction formula is as follows:
[0067]
[0068] S3. Detection of wastewater to be tested:
[0069] S3-1. Accurately weigh 1 - 2 g of the wastewater to be tested and add it to a sample bottle, record the mass m, accurate to 0.0001 g, and then accurately pipette 2.5 - 10 mL of a methanol solution of 1,6-hexanediol with a mass concentration of 0.2 - 0.8 g / L into the sample bottle, and shake well to obtain a mixed solution;
[0070] S3-2. Use a microsyringe to transfer 0.3 - 1.2 μL of the mixed solution into the gas chromatograph for injection testing. After the peak emergence ends, read the peak area S' of the internal standard substance from the chromatogram NB and the peak area S' of ethylene glycol EG , and calculate the ethylene glycol content C in the wastewater to be tested according to the following formula EG :
[0071]
[0072] In steps S1 and S3, the gas chromatograph detection parameters are:
[0073] 1) Column temperature: Programmed temperature rise is adopted. Specifically, the temperature is raised to 70 °C and held for 2 min, then it is raised to 175 °C at a rate of 15 °C / min and held for 2 min;
[0074] 2) The detector temperature is 250 °C and the injector temperature is 250 °C;
