Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of phosphorus removal and impurity removal process of glyphosate waste salt, and particularly relates to a phosphorus removal and impurity removal system and process method for glyphosate waste salt. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glyphosate is a highly efficient, non-selective herbicide. Currently, there are mainly two methods for industrial production of glyphosate, i.e., glycine method and imino diacetic acid method (IDA method). Taking the glycine method as an example, a large amount of NaCl is generated in the process of recovering solvent methanol and catalyst triethylamine.

[0003] Glyphosate waste salt contains organic material raw materials used in glyphosate production and by-products generated in the synthesis process, especially phosphorus-containing substances (inorganic phosphorus and organic phosphorus), which cannot be directly used in industrial production, thereby seriously restricting the development of the glyphosate industry. A large amount of by-product salt is generated in the glyphosate production process, about one ton of by-product salt is generated per ton of glyphosate. The recycling of glyphosate waste salt has become one of the key problems for reducing production costs.

[0004] The prior art discloses a variety of treatment processes for glyphosate waste salt. For example, the invention patent with the application number 202111183335.8 and the name "Glyphosate by-product high-salt waste salt phosphorus removal and impurity removal system and process" discloses a glyphosate by-product salt phosphorus removal and impurity removal system including oxidation calcination, ultrafiltration nanofiltration, chemical precipitation, and adsorption phosphorus removal, which can make the total phosphorus content of the purified brine below 0.25 mg / L, and the total phosphorus content in the purified salt below 0.6 mg / kg. However, the process flow is complicated, and the calcination cost is high. For example, the invention patent with the application number 201610476692.6 and the name "Multi-stage resource recycling process for glyphosate mother liquor" discloses an effective combination of membrane separation, twice oxidation, three times crystallization separation, and normal temperature oxidation, which is a recycling process for glyphosate alkali mother liquor after triethylamine recovery device, can realize standard discharge; the membrane treatment device is combined with the concentration and refining unit, and after refining (TOC≤200 ppm), it meets the requirements of caustic soda production, realizes multi-stage resource recycling and reuse, reduces the discharge of three wastes and energy consumption, and is conducive to cost control.
