Therefore, there is an urgent need for a catalyst separation and recovery device and method that is easy to operate, has a high recovery rate, and effectively reduces system energy consumption.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] Depend on Figure 2 As shown, the component numbers in this embodiment are as follows:

[0050] Filtration zone 100, washing zone 200, drying zone 300, enclosed hood 1, vacuum tank 2, vacuum disc 3, drive cylinder 4, filter belt 5, vacuum switching valve 6, drive roller 7, transmission roller 8, material trough 9, nozzle 11, catalyst washing nozzle 12, filter belt washing nozzle 13, scraper 14, tensioning cylinder 15, swing bracket 16, tensioning roller 17, pneumatic guide 18, filter belt limit switch 19, filter cake collection mechanism 20.

[0051] The structure of the recycling equipment in Example 1 includes a frame, a closed cover 1 on the outside of the frame, a vacuum chamber on the frame, a filter cloth mechanism on the outer periphery of the vacuum chamber, a cleaning mechanism, a tensioning mechanism, and a correction mechanism on the filter cloth mechanism, and several vacuum tanks 2 connected to the vacuum chamber.

[0052] The vacuum chamber includes a vacuum disc 3 and a grid plate on the vacuum disc. A drive cylinder 4 is provided on one side of the vacuum disc 3 to drive the vacuum disc 3 to reciprocate following the filter belt 5. The vacuum chamber is divided into a filtration zone 100, a washing zone 200, and a drying zone 300. Vacuum tanks 2 are respectively connected to the vacuum discs 3 in the filtration zone 100, washing zone 200, and drying zone 300 for recovering the filtrate and washing liquid, respectively. The vacuum tank 2 is an automatic draining container that separates gas and liquid and drains liquid without losing vacuum. The vacuum tank 2 is equipped with a vacuum switching valve 6, including a vacuum valve and a venting valve, with the two valves operating in opposite directions; used to control the pressure in the vacuum chamber so that the vacuum disc 3 adsorbs the filter belt 5 at intervals.

[0053] The filter cloth mechanism includes a drive roller 7 and several transmission rollers 8 arranged around the vacuum chamber. A filter belt 5 is supported on both the drive roller 7 and the transmission rollers 8. The filter belt 5 is made of materials such as PE, PP, and non-woven fabric with a mesh size of approximately 250 mesh, is anti-static, and can be used normally in a chloropropylene environment. The drive roller 7 is equipped with a motor and a reducer. After deceleration, the drive roller, which is lined with acid and alkali resistant rubber, rotates. The reducer is a variable speed reducer, making the filter belt's operating speed adjustable.

[0054] The filter belt 5 advances due to friction between itself and the drive roller 7 and transmission roller 8. The vacuum chamber is surrounded by the filter belt 5. When the vacuum chamber is under negative pressure, the filter belt 5 is attracted by the upper end of the vacuum chamber, and the liquid on the filter belt 5 is sucked away.

[0055] The enclosed cover 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism located directly above the filtration zone 100 of the vacuum chamber. The feeding mechanism includes a fishtail-shaped material distribution trough 9, which contains several guide ribs. The outlet of the material distribution trough 9 is located above the filter belt 5. Multiple feeding points can be selected in the material distribution trough 9 to ensure the slurry is evenly distributed on the filter belt 5. This feeding mechanism is a commonly used structure.

[0056] The cleaning mechanism includes a nozzle 11 and nozzles located at the end of the nozzle 11. The nozzles include a catalyst washing nozzle 12 and a filter belt washing nozzle 13. The catalyst washing nozzle 12 is located directly above the filtration zone 100 of the vacuum chamber and is used to wash the catalyst. The filter belt washing nozzle 13 is located below the vacuum chamber and is used to wash the filter belt after the catalyst cake has been removed, ensuring that the filter belt pores remain intact. Allyl chloride is used as the washing solution. Multiple catalyst washing nozzles and filter belt washing nozzles are provided to ensure complete rinsing of the filter belt.

[0057] A filter cake stripping mechanism, consisting of a scraper 14, is provided on one side of the drive roller 7. This mechanism is used to strip the catalyst filter cake from the filter belt 5. When the filter belt 5, dragged by the drive roller 7, carries the dried filter cake to the drive roller 7, the filter cake automatically cracks due to the decrease in the radius of curvature. The thin scraper then peels off the filter cake and discharges it. A filter cake collecting mechanism 20 is located directly below the filter cake stripping mechanism. The filter cake collecting mechanism 20 has a square-to-round structure, through which the filter cake is collected into the collection tank.

[0058] The tensioning mechanism includes a tensioning cylinder 15 fixed to the frame, a swing bracket 16 located at the output end of the tensioning cylinder 15, and a tensioning roller 17 fixed on the swing bracket 16. The tensioning roller 17 is used to tension the filter belt 5.

[0059] The correction device includes pneumatic guides 18 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the filter belt to prevent the filter belt from folding and wrinkling and to correct the filter belt from running off track.

[0060] A filter belt limit switch 19 is provided on one side of the filter cloth mechanism.

[0061] The sealed enclosure is equipped with a micro-positive pressure interface, an oxygen content measurement interface, a nitrogen inlet interface, and a multi-point washing liquid interface; nitrogen is added through the nitrogen inlet interface to adjust the oxygen content inside the sealed enclosure.

[0062] The sealed cover is equipped with a control mechanism and anti-static facilities.
