AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The complex network of azeotropic compounds in the tail gas of neopentyl glycol production units makes it difficult to recover trimethylamine with high purity, and existing technologies cannot effectively solve this problem.

Method used

A combined technical solution is adopted, which involves breaking the azeotropic node through alkaline hydrolysis, widening the separation window through pressurized distillation, and coupling wastewater reuse. By breaking the azeotrope through alkaline hydrolysis, changing the azeotropic behavior of trimethylamine and water through pressurized distillation, and using the wastewater from the top of the wastewater treatment tower as makeup water for the absorption tower, a closed-loop cycle is formed to achieve efficient recovery of trimethylamine.

Benefits of technology

It achieves high-purity recovery of trimethylamine (purity above 95%), reduces energy consumption by 25-30%, reduces wastewater discharge, and improves resource utilization, resulting in significant economic and environmental benefits.
