Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of trioxymethylene synthesis wastewater recovery and polymerization wastewater recovery, and in particular to a wastewater recovery system for trioxymethylene synthesis wastewater and polymerization wastewater. Background Art

[0002] With economic development, countries around the world are paying more and more attention to environmental protection. Currently, countries have increasingly higher requirements for waste disposal and discharge in various industries. The formaldehyde index in the wastewater discharge standard generated by the polyformaldehyde-related industry is 5 mg / l. In the existing technology, due to the inability to well separate the triformaldehyde synthesis wastewater, polyformaldehyde, and copolymer synthesis wastewater, the polymerization wastewater is mainly recovered by pressurized distillation to recover formaldehyde, while other components such as triformaldehyde are wasted and incinerated. In addition, pressurized distillation (>0.3MPa) will lead to the disproportionation reaction of formaldehyde, which not only has high energy consumption but also increases carbon emissions, pollutes the environment, and corrodes equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a wastewater recovery system for trioxymethylene synthesis wastewater and polymerization wastewater.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: A wastewater recovery system for trioxymethylene synthesis wastewater and polymerization wastewater, comprising: a wastewater recovery tower, wherein the wastewater recovery tower is provided with a tower top gas phase extraction system, a feed pipe, a first side extraction system, a second side extraction system and a tower bottom recovery system in order from top to bottom;

[0005] The tower top gas phase extraction system is provided with a tower top condensation reflux tank, and the tower top gas phase extraction system controls the tower top temperature to be stable within a specific range by extracting benzene and a small amount of trioxymethylene in the extraction system, and controls a specific reflux ratio to maintain the operation of the distillation tower;

[0006] The first side extraction system can remove the entrained liquid foam in the side extraction gas phase. The gas phase after demisting is extracted by gas phase condensation to extract trioxymethylene and part of the water in the extraction tower. The temperature and the composition distribution in the tower are controlled by the gas phase extraction amount; the temperature of the first side extraction system is maintained above 102°C; the extracted composition trioxymethylene is maintained at about 30%.

[0007] The second side extraction system removes the liquid foam entrained in the side extraction gas phase, and the gas phase after demisting is extracted through gas phase condensation to extract the dilute formaldehyde and a large amount of water in the extraction tower, and the recombined formaldehyde is concentrated at the bottom of the distillation tower;

[0008] The bottom recovery system is provided with a reboiler, which uses 0.4MPa steam as the separation power of the distillation tower. The reboiler is provided with an external discharge device, and the waste water from the bottom of the tower is sent to the incinerator by the external discharge device after cooling.

[0009] Preferably, the top pressure of the wastewater recovery tower is 5 to 25 kPa, and the bottom pressure is 40 to 90 kPa.

[0010] Preferably, the temperature at the top of the wastewater recovery tower is between 65 and 75°C, and the temperature at the bottom of the tower is between 104 and 106°C.

[0011] Preferably, the wastewater recovery tower is provided with 50 layers of sieve plates, and the 50 layers of sieve plates are numbered 1-50 from top to bottom.

[0012] Preferably, the first side extraction system is located on the gas phase side above the 38th sieve plate. It condenses the gas phase after passing through the first side extraction demister to recover trioxymethylene, formaldehyde, methanol, and the like. The first side extraction system's side extraction rate controls the temperature and pressure above the 44th sieve plate at specific values. This allows the TOX content in the upper extraction to be controlled at approximately 30%, while the TOX concentration in the lower extraction is kept below 0.2%.

[0013] Preferably, the second side extraction system is located on the gas phase side above the 48th sieve plate. It condenses the extracted gas phase after passing through the second side extraction demister to recover formaldehyde, while simultaneously extracting water from the system. The extraction ratio is such that the formaldehyde emission concentration after subsequent biochemical treatment of methylal wastewater after reconstitution from the extracted material is below 5 mg / l. This reduces the total amount of water in the bottom wastewater. The extraction rate is based on approximately 90% of the total feed volume from the top extraction, the first side extraction system, and the second side extraction system, and is fine-tuned based on operational data.

[0014] Preferably, the wastewater recovery tower (1) is connected to a defoamer tank via a defoamer pump. The defoamer is added to the feed and the bottom of the wastewater recovery tower in a certain proportion.

[0015] Preferably, a first side extraction demister is provided in the first side extraction system, the first side extraction demister is connected to the first side extraction condenser, and the first side extraction condenser is connected to the extraction reflux tank.

[0016] Preferably, a second side extraction demister is provided in the second side extraction system, the second side extraction demister is connected to the second side extraction condenser, and the second side extraction condenser is connected to the dilute formaldehyde tank.

[0017] In summary, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects: a wastewater recovery system for triformaldehyde synthesis wastewater and polymerization wastewater can effectively recover recyclable components, and the recombinant components and salts that can cause catalyst deactivation are concentrated and sent for incineration. Through system control of the optimal recovery scheme, formaldehyde, benzene, triformaldehyde, etc. can be effectively recovered, and the recombinant components, SS, salts, and sulfuric acid can be concentrated in the bottom discharge of the wastewater recovery tower, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing unit consumption, saving energy and reducing emissions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] A wastewater recovery system for trioxymethylene synthesis wastewater and polymerization wastewater, comprising: a wastewater recovery tower 1, wherein the wastewater recovery tower 1 is provided with a tower top gas phase extraction system 2, a feed pipe 3, a first side extraction system 4, a second side extraction system 5, and a tower bottom recovery system 6 in order from top to bottom; the tower top pressure of the wastewater recovery tower 1 is 5-25 kPa, and the tower top temperature is 65-75°C; the tower bottom temperature of the wastewater recovery tower is 104-106°C;

[0022] The top gas phase extraction system 2 is provided with a top condensation reflux tank 21. The top gas phase extraction system 2 controls the top temperature of the tower to be stable within a specific range by extracting benzene and a small amount of trioxymethylene in the system, and controls a specific reflux ratio to maintain the operation of the distillation tower. The top condensation reflux tank 21 of the top gas phase extraction system 2 mainly separates benzene and some light components in the feed. The top gas phase extraction system 2 is provided with a water phase extraction pipe 22, an oil phase extraction pipe 23 and a reflux pipe 24. The reflux pipe 24 is mainly used to maintain the composition and temperature distribution in the tower. It is a conventional design of a distillation tower, and the minimum reflux is generally used here. The top condensation reflux tank 21 is integrated, and the liquid level control adopts overflow extraction. The U-shaped tube design and insertion into the liquid prevent the gas phase pressure from affecting the stratification control on both sides. The reflux pump maintains reflux and spraying on the upper tube plate of the condenser.

[0023] The first side extraction system 4 can remove the liquid foam entrained in the side extraction gas phase. The gas phase after demisting is extracted through the first side extraction condenser 42 to extract the trioxymethylene and part of the water and formaldehyde in the tower. The temperature and the composition distribution in the tower are controlled by the gas phase extraction amount.

[0024] The second side extraction system 5 can remove the liquid foam entrained in the side extraction gas phase. The gas phase after demisting is extracted and the dilute formaldehyde and a large amount of water in the extraction tower are extracted through the second side extraction condenser 52, and the recombined formaldehyde is concentrated at the bottom of the distillation tower.

[0025] The bottom recovery system 6 is provided with a reboiler 61, and the reboiler 61 uses 0.4MPa steam as the separation power of the distillation tower. The tower bottom is provided with an external discharge of produced wastewater, which is cooled and then sent to the incinerator 63 by the external discharge device; the tower bottom is partially produced and cooled and then sent to the incinerator 63 to dispose of SS, recombinants and salts that are difficult to recover.

[0026] A set of distillation towers is used to distill and separate the triformaldehyde synthesis tower bottoms, polymerization unit wastewater, and deweighting tower wastewater. The top of the tower is temperature-controlled to extract benzene and a small amount of triformaldehyde from the extraction system, and a specific reflux ratio is controlled to maintain the operation of the distillation tower. The first side extraction system 4 removes droplets from the gas phase extracted during the side extraction. The demisted gas phase is extracted through gas phase condensation to extract the triformaldehyde and some water in the tower. The temperature, pressure, and composition distribution above the 44th tray are controlled by the gas phase extraction volume. The second side extraction system 5 removes droplets from the side extraction gas phase. The demisted gas phase is extracted through gas phase condensation to extract the dilute formaldehyde and a large amount of water in the tower. The recombined components are concentrated at the bottom of the distillation tower. A reboiler 61 is installed at the bottom of the tower as the separation power of the distillation tower, and a certain proportion of the exhaust gas is cooled and sent to the incinerator.

[0027] Furthermore, the first side extraction system 4 condenses the gas phase after passing through the first side extraction demister 41 to recover triformaldehyde, formaldehyde, methanol, etc.; the very small amount of condensate captured by the first side extraction demister 41 enters the gas phase after demisting at the bottom of the tower and enters the first side extraction condenser 42 for condensation, mainly to achieve triformaldehyde recovery, and the recovery rate of triformaldehyde after recovery is greater than 99%.

[0028] Furthermore, the second side extraction system 5 condenses the produced gas phase after passing through the second side extraction demister 51 to recover formaldehyde, and at the same time extracts water from the system. The extraction ratio is such that the formaldehyde emission concentration after subsequent biochemical treatment of the methylal wastewater after recombining the produced material is lower than 5 mg / l, thereby achieving high-proportion concentration of the wastewater and maximum-proportion recovery of formaldehyde.

[0029] Furthermore, the wastewater recovery tower 1 is connected to the defoamer tank 8 via a defoamer pump 7; the defoamer pump 7 adds defoamers to the feed of the wastewater recovery tower 1 and the reactor of the synthesis tower to prevent flooding in the wastewater recovery tower. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of the defoamer added by the defoamer pump 7 to the feed of the wastewater recovery tower 1 is 2 ml / m 3 Defoaming pump 7 in the synthesis tower reactor to add defoamer 1ml / m 3Feeding; slight tower flooding will cause tower pressure fluctuation. When the tower pressure fluctuation is >3KPa / min, increase the defoaming agent dosage by 10%.

[0030] Furthermore, the wastewater recovery tower 1 is provided with 50 layers of sieve plates, which are numbered 1-50 from top to bottom, with the topmost sieve plate being the 1st layer and the bottommost sieve plate being the 50th layer.

[0031] Furthermore, the first side extraction system 4 is located on the gas phase side above the 38th sieve plate; a first side extraction demister 41 is provided within the first side extraction system 4, which is connected to a first side extraction condenser 42, which is connected to an extraction reflux tank 43; the first side extraction demister 41 is primarily used to prevent droplets from being carried over and recombined into the first side extraction system 4. The very small amount of condensate captured by the first side extraction demister 41 enters the demisted gas phase at the bottom of the tower and enters the first side extraction condenser 42 for condensation, primarily to recover trioxymethylene. Since the material in the first side extraction system 4 contains formaldehyde, spray wetting of the upper tube sheet is used to prevent formaldehyde scaling during phase change.

[0032] Furthermore, the second side extraction system 5 is arranged on the gas phase side above the 48th sieve plate, and the second side extraction demister 51 is provided in the second side extraction system 5, and the second side extraction demister 51 is connected to the second side extraction condenser 52, and the second side extraction condenser 52 is connected to the dilute formaldehyde tank 53; the side lines of the first side extraction system 4 and the second side extraction system 5 are all materials without recomposition after distillation in the wastewater recovery tower 1. The removal of the recomposition of the materials will not cause subsequent disposal problems for the methylal unit wastewater when recycled, and the salt will also be separated during the distillation process. The materials recovered after defoaming will not be poisoned by the triformaldehyde synthesis catalyst and the methylal synthesis catalyst due to the salt.

[0033] Furthermore, a reboiler 61 and a wastewater cooler 62 are provided in the bottom recovery system 6. The discharge pipe of the wastewater recovery tower 1 is connected to the reboiler 61 and the boiling water cooler 62 respectively. The discharge pipe of the reboiler 61 is connected to the wastewater recovery tower 1, and the discharge pipe of the boiling water cooler 62 is connected to the incinerator 63; the reboiler 61 is the power of the distillation tower and is of conventional design. A tower bottom pump is used for forced circulation here to prevent corrosion and scaling.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Examples 1, 2, and 3 are for normal production processes; Examples 1, 4, and 7 all achieve recovery of the recombination and triformaldehyde, but relatively high amounts of formaldehyde and water are incinerated, making them uneconomical. Examples 2, 5, and 8 are preferred solutions; Examples 3, 6, and 9 involve excessive recovery, which can cause the recombination to enter the second side extraction system of the recovery tower, leading to subsequent problems with the final recovery. (Because the recombination is not thoroughly separated, the formaldehyde concentration in the methylal wastewater after subsequent biochemical treatment is >5 mg / l.)

[0036] Three compositions of feed:

[0037] Polymerization wastewater: Existing technology mainly recovers formaldehyde through pressurized distillation, in which other components such as trioxymethylene are wasted and incinerated. In addition, high-pressure distillation causes the disproportionation reaction of formaldehyde at high temperature to increase formic acid, which will cause corrosion to equipment; in addition, the energy consumption is much higher than that of low-pressure distillation.

[0038] The bottom of the third trioxymethylene distillation tower is mainly sent to incineration in the existing technology. The bottom of the synthesis tower is about 70% of the formaldehyde, which is mainly sent to incineration in the existing technology due to the recombination.

The influence of SS on distillation can be controlled by adding a defoaming agent; the cations, sulfuric acid, and powder in the feed are separated in this wastewater recovery device and discharged from the bottom of the tower. The side stream passes through the demister to prevent liquid foam entrainment; the triformaldehyde recovery rate is >99%, and the formaldehyde recovery can reach more than 88%. Under the conditions where the recombinant and the influence of the powder in the tower can be controlled, the bottom discharge of the wastewater recovery tower can be appropriately reduced to increase the recovery rate; however, the formaldehyde and COD in the biochemical treatment results of methylal wastewater increase. If the bottom discharge of the waste recovery tower is further reduced, it may cause a small part of the recombinant to be discharged from the second side extraction system 5 to the methylal system, thereby causing the methylal biochemical wastewater to exceed the standard.
