Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a xylene recycling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Xylene is a colorless transparent liquid; it is a product in which two hydrogens on a benzene ring are replaced by methyl groups, and exists in three isomers of ortho-xylene, meta-xylene and para-xylene. In industry, xylene refers to a mixture of the above isomers. Xylene has a pungent odor, is flammable, can be mixed with ethanol, chloroform or ether at will, is insoluble in water, and has a boiling point of 137-140 DEG C. Xylene belongs to low-toxicity chemical substances. It can come from fuel and tobacco combustion gas, and is widely used in the industries of paint, resin, dye, ink, etc. as a solvent, and is used in the industries of medicine, explosive, pesticide, etc. as a synthetic monomer or solvent, and can also be used as a high-octane gasoline component, and is an important raw material for organic chemical industry. It can also be used for removing asphalt from a vehicle body. In a hospital pathology department, it is mainly used for the transparency and dewaxing of tissues and sections. Industrial ortho-xylene is used as a raw material, washed with industrial concentrated sulfuric acid until the acid layer is colorless, then washed with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and water until it is qualified, separated from the water layer, dried with anhydrous calcium chloride, then rectified, and after the distillate is clear, the middle fraction is collected, which is the pure product. In industry, ortho-xylene is separated from mixed xylene by super rectification. The boiling points of ortho-xylene and other components in mixed xylene differ by more than 5 DEG C, so about 150 trays and a reflux ratio of 5-8 are needed in rectification, which consumes a large amount of energy. It is obtained from the light oil part of fractionated coal tar or catalytic reforming light oil by fractionation, or from toluene by disproportionation.

[0003] A xylene condensation recovery device is disclosed in the prior art Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN210751364U, which comprises a condensation tank mounted on the upper end of a frame, a gas inlet pipe fixedly connected to the left end of the condensation tank and communicating with the condensation tank, a gas outlet pipe fixedly connected to the right upper end of the condensation tank and communicating with the condensation tank, an air extractor fixedly connected to the end of the gas outlet pipe away from the condensation tank, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the right end of the air extractor, a fixed support fixedly connected in the condensation tank, a condensation coil group fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed support, a refrigeration cycle machine installed in the frame and communicating with the condensation coil group, a liquid guide pipe fixedly connected to the left lower end of the condensation tank and communicating with the condensation tank, and a liquid storage tank fixedly connected to the left end of the liquid guide pipe and communicating with the liquid guide pipe. Xylene in chemical tail gas is removed by condensation, the treatment process is simple and effective, the cost can be effectively saved, and the xylene can be recycled and reused by the staff, so that resources can be effectively saved.

[0004] However, the above device still has the following defects: 1.
