TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of chemical production, in particular to a device for purifying NMP organic impurities. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the industrial upgrading of China, the quality requirements of various industries on products are higher and higher, and the purity requirements of raw materials are also higher and higher. NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) is used as a solvent for lithium ion battery cathode slurry, accounting for 40% of the weight formula of the slurry. After the coating process, the recovered device is recycled and returned to the NMP factory for re-purification. The impurities of NMP products include organic residual products and reaction by-products, residual water, free amine, non-metallic foreign matter in the preparation process, metallic foreign matter in the preparation process and the like. These impurities directly affect the production process of lithium ion batteries and the performance of the batteries. The impurities in the NMP recovery liquid include organic residual products and reaction by-products, water, free amine, non-metallic foreign matter in the battery pole piece preparation process, metallic foreign matter in the battery pole piece preparation process, and particle dust in the battery slurry formula (such as lithium iron phosphate particles, ternary material particles and conductive agent particles). In addition to water, other impurities enter the NMP purification equipment system, which pollutes the equipment and accumulates in the equipment, affecting the quality of NMP products.
[0003] According to the above, in the current NMP purification and recovery production process, although filtration and purification are also provided, the commonly used process equipment is relatively simple, and therefore has many defects and deficiencies, which are as follows.
[0004] 1. The water molecules in NMP cannot be further removed in the filtration and purification process, which affects the purity effect of NMP.
[0005] 2. The traditional gravity type filter is a passive type of medium passing through the filter, so the efficiency is low, and local blockage is easy to occur, which is not conducive to efficient purification.
[0006] 3. The impurities after filtration are easy to accumulate in the equipment, which is difficult to clean and easy to block, and in addition, it is not convenient to detect, and the staff cannot grasp it in time.
