BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0028] The present application will be further described below in combination with the description of the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Figure 1 The accompanying drawings show the flowchart of the double-solvent extraction method of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] ① Selection of extraction agent
[0031] The appropriate organic extraction agent can be selected according to the actual needs and the extracted organic solution. Generally, the selected types are roughly divided into hydrocarbons: benzene, gasoline, etc.; ethers: diethyl ether, petroleum ether, straight-run ether, etc.; esters: butyl acetate, trimethyl phosphonate, etc.; alcohols: ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.; ketones: acetone, butanone, etc.; and other common extraction agents: carbon tetrachloride, chloroethylene, etc. The appropriate extraction agent is selected according to the properties of the extracted substance and the sample itself. For example, for polar extracted substances, extraction agents with similar polarity such as methanol and ethanol can be selected, and for non-polar extracted substances, non-polar extraction agents such as n-hexane and petroleum ether can be selected. The extraction agent is required to have high solubility for the extracted substance, be immiscible with the original solvent, have good chemical stability, low toxicity and be easy to recover. The inorganic extraction agent can also be regarded as an inorganic solvent, and generally, tertiary water is selected as the extraction agent for inorganic substances. If there is a special sample to be treated, inorganic acid, alkali and other solvents can be selected. The extraction operation is carried out according to the extraction principle and steps shown in the above figure. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0032] ② Extraction process
[0033] Instrument preparation: according to the actual nature of the sample, select the preparation of separatory funnel, shaker, centrifuge, rotary evaporator, balance, pH meter, etc. The separatory funnel is selected according to the processing capacity to ensure that it is clean, undamaged, and the piston is tightly sealed; the shaker can provide stable oscillation frequency and amplitude; the centrifuge has different speed adjustment functions; the rotary evaporator can effectively evaporate the solvent.
[0034] Sample pretreatment: If the sample is solid, it needs to be crushed and ground to increase the contact area with the extractant, or to be digested and dissolved; liquid samples are adjusted according to the situation, and complexing agents, masking agents, etc. are added to improve the extraction selectivity and efficiency. For example, adjust the pH of the sample to a certain range, so that the extracted substance exists in a certain form, which is beneficial to extraction.
[0035] Selection and addition of extractant: After pretreatment, the sample is transferred to the separatory funnel, and the extractant is added according to a certain proportion. Generally, the volume ratio of extractant to sample solution is 1:1-1:5, which can be adjusted according to the distribution coefficient of the extracted substance, sample concentration and extraction efficiency requirements.
[0036] Mixing and oscillation: After selecting the extractant, the original solution, the same solvent S1 (representing organic extractant) and the solvent S2 (representing inorganic extractant) are mixed together into solution 1 to close the separatory funnel, and manually or using a shaker to oscillate, so that the two phases are fully contacted. Note that the mixing process should not be too violent, and it should be carried out in a fume hood, and appropriate exhaust operation should be carried out. The oscillation time is usually 5-30 minutes to avoid emulsification phenomenon caused by violent oscillation. If emulsification occurs, methods such as stirring, heating, adding salt, centrifugation, etc. can be used to break the emulsion. After repeated mixing operations, the extraction phase E1, the extraction phase E2 and the raffinate phase R are formed. If the extraction effect is still not ideal, the extraction phases E1 and E2 can be added with appropriate amount of extractant to repeat the above mixing operation. Especially for organic solution extraction with temperature requirements, it often needs to be carried out at a suitable temperature, so it also needs to consider preheating the extracted original liquid according to the actual situation, and then carry out rapid hot extraction according to the above method.
[0037] Static layering: After oscillation, the separatory funnel is left to stand for 10-30 minutes to allow the two phases to separate naturally. The phase with high density is in the lower layer, and the phase with low density is in the upper layer. The clarity of the interface is observed to determine whether the layering is complete.
[0038] Separation operation: After complete layering, open the piston of the separatory funnel, slowly release the lower layer liquid into a clean container; close the piston, pour the upper layer liquid into another container, and collect the extraction phase and the raffinate phase containing the target substance respectively. If multiple repeated extractions are required, the separated extraction liquids are mixed together to obtain extraction liquids E01, E02 and raffinate liquid R0 respectively.
[0039] ③Subsequent treatment
[0040] Washing purification: to remove impurities in the extraction phase, with the appropriate amount of washing liquid (such as water, dilute acid, dilute alkali, saturated brine, etc.) washing. The extraction phase and washing liquid into the separatory funnel, shaking, standing, liquid separation, repeated 2-3 times.
[0041] Drying water removal: using desiccant to remove trace amounts of water in the extraction phase, commonly used desiccants are anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, calcium oxide, etc. The desiccant is added to the extraction phase, shaken and then left for a period of time, and the desiccant is filtered out.
[0042] Concentration enrichment: using a rotary evaporator, vacuum distillation and other methods to evaporate the solvent in the extraction phase, so that the extracted material is concentrated and enriched. Set the appropriate temperature, pressure and speed to avoid loss or decomposition.
[0043] (7) Laboratory application examples
[0044] Laboratory oil washing solution extraction method and process:
[0045] Washing oil is an important fraction in the processing of coal tar, usually brownish oil liquid, viscous and poor flow at room temperature. Its composition is relatively complex, mainly containing aromatic hydrocarbons (such as naphthalene, methyl naphthalene, dimethyl naphthalene, etc.), a small amount of unsaturated hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur (such as quinoline, indole, carbazole, etc.). In order to carry out subsequent detection work, it is necessary to effectively separate the organic matter in the washing oil from the inorganic matter, and exclude the detection interference, and carry out extraction test.
[0046] According to the extraction needs, select and prepare the separatory funnel, shaker, balance and other test equipment, use the graduated cylinder to measure 100 mL of washing oil solution, select 50 mL of petroleum ether as the extractant for extracting the main organic solvent in the washing oil; measure 100 mL of distilled water at about 50°C as the solution of inorganic matter. (Since the washing oil is relatively viscous, the distilled water needs to be preheated to control the temperature between 50-60°C, which can not only ensure good separation effect, but also prevent the organic matter from decomposing and volatilizing at this temperature.) Mix the three into the separatory funnel and place and fix it on the shaker. To avoid shaking too fast and causing the solution to emulsify, use low-speed shaking. Adjust the shaking frequency to 10 Hz (10 times per second) for 20 minutes, and observe the actual extraction during the period. Vent 2 times. After shaking, stand for 30 minutes to observe the separation and extraction effect. After extraction, carry out liquid separation operation. To ensure sufficient reagent for subsequent processing, the above method is used for 2 times extraction, and 196 mL of inorganic water solution and 302 mL of organic solution are obtained respectively. Use 100 mL of saturated brine to add to 100 mL of extraction phase, add to the separatory funnel, shake, stand, and separate, repeat 2 times to wash the extraction phase, and obtain the organic solution with less impurities. The inorganic solution is further filtered by 2 times medium-speed filter paper to obtain a relatively pure inorganic solution.
[0047] Because the components of the washing oil are complex, the mass of naphthalene contained therein is used as the basis for calculating the extraction rate. The original washing oil sample contains 12.6% naphthalene, and the extraction phase contains 12.1% naphthalene, with an extraction rate of 96.03% and a loss of 3.97%. The loss rate is mainly caused by the complex components of the washing oil, wherein a part is carried out by gas generated during the extraction process, and a part is caused by the washing oil that is not completely washed away during the subsequent washing process, and in addition, the error in the detection operation process. However, for such complex organic mixtures, satisfactory extraction results can be obtained, which has little effect on the error of the subsequent detection work. At the same time, the inorganic solution can discharge the interference of organic matter, and the detection of the content of chloride ions has a high guiding significance for production.
[0048] Comparison with other extraction methods:
[0049] CN116693369A is an extraction method for only a single organic solution of resorcinol, which is not suitable for more complex mixed organic solutions. The specific test process and data results are as follows:
[0050] Test process: 6000g of salt solution containing 6.5% resorcinol and 3000g of extractant (methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone) are prepared. Start the three-stage centrifugal extractor, and adjust the speed to 3000rpm. Use the metering pump to feed, and the resorcinol salt solution metering pump feeding speed is 200g / min, which enters from the feeding port of the first-stage centrifugal extractor; the extractant metering pump feeding speed is 100g / min, which enters from the feeding port of the three-stage centrifugal extractor, and the three-stage countercurrent centrifugal extraction is carried out. After the extraction is completed, the residual material in the centrifugal machine is discharged, and the oil layer is separated.
[0051] Data results: 3392.5g of oil layer is obtained, wherein the content of resorcinol is 11.4%, and the extraction efficiency reaches 99.2%. 5582.5g of wastewater is collected, and the content of resorcinol therein is 0.056% after analysis. In addition, 25g of material is left in the centrifugal machine during the extraction process.
[0052] The extractant methyl isobutyl ketone selected in the above method is not suitable for this project, and the centrifugal extraction with high speed is not suitable for this project, and the change of the sample property state during the centrifugal process of the complex organic matter is not fully considered. This method is highly targeted, and the test process is flexible and controllable, and is mainly used for the separation of complex mixed organic matter.
