Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tetrahydrofuran distillation, in particular to a distillation separation device and a method for recovering tetrahydrofuran. Background Art

[0002] Prior art publication CN102316949A discloses a dividing wall distillation column having a main column with a dividing wall. The main column includes a pressure equalizing unit for equalizing the pressure between a primary partition and a main partition separated by the dividing wall. Due to the uniform pressure drop between the two partitions separated by the dividing wall, the dividing wall distillation column can be operated more easily.

[0003] The boiling point of tetrahydrofuran is 66°C. Special circumstances: Under certain special circumstances, such as temperature gradients or local overheating during the distillation process, the solute may reach saturation or supersaturation in certain areas of the still and crystallize;

[0004] The problem with the distillation tower of the prior art is that, due to the need to reserve an overflow port, a portion of the steam will rise directly from the gap in the overflow port, resulting in a lower pressure of the gas coming out of the steam holes on the tower plate. Therefore, when the steam pressure is insufficient, the steam cannot rise from the steam holes on the tower plate, resulting in the inability of the steam to exchange heat with the liquid, resulting in lower distillation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract and title of this application to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of the invention, and such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0006] The present invention provides a distillation separation device and method for recovering tetrahydrofuran, which can solve the problem in the prior art that steam cannot rise when the gas pressure on the tray is insufficient. The specific solution is as follows:

[0007] A distillation separation device for recovering tetrahydrofuran comprises a distillation tower, a reboiler is installed at the bottom of the distillation tower, a condenser is installed at the top of the distillation tower, and a layered assembly is arranged inside the distillation tower. The layered assembly is arranged in multiple groups from top to bottom inside the distillation tower, and the layered assembly comprises:

[0008] a tower plate, wherein at least one end of the tower plate has a notch, and a gap is formed between the notch and the inner wall of the distillation tower;

[0009] Steam holes are provided on the tray;

[0010] A water baffle is connected to the end of the tower plate and the distillation tower having a gap, and the water baffle forms a cavity on the top of the tower plate for storing liquid;

[0011] a one-way plate connected to one end of the tower plate and the distillation tower having a gap, and hingedly connected to the bottom of the tower plate via a torsion spring;

[0012] By setting notches on the side of the tower plate, when the liquid on the upper tower plate reaches a certain thickness, it can overflow to the lower tower plate through the notches. The steam from the lower layer can be discharged upward through the steam holes to heat the liquid in the tower plate. By setting a one-way plate, the steam cannot rise from the notches of the tower plate and can only rise from the steam holes, thereby ensuring the rising air pressure of the gas in the steam holes.

[0013] Preferably, a liquid inlet is provided in the middle of the distillation tower, a liquid inlet pipe is fixedly installed in the middle of the liquid inlet, a heating circulation port is provided at the bottom and side wall of the distillation tower, the two heating circulation ports are connected by a heating circulation pipe, the reboiler is installed in the middle of the heating circulation pipe, and the bottom of the heating circulation pipe is connected to a lower discharge pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the distillation tower has a plurality of heating circulation ports on the side wall, and the plurality of heating circulation ports are at different heights on the distillation tower.

[0015] Preferably, the top and top side wall of the distillation tower are provided with condensation circulation ports, a condensation circulation pipe is connected between the two condensation circulation ports, the condenser is fixedly installed in the middle of the condensation circulation pipe, the inside of the condenser is provided with a condensation pipe, the condensation pipe is S-shaped inside the condenser, and both ends of the condensation pipe extend to the outside of the condenser, the end of the condensation pipe is connected to the cooling liquid source, and the bottom of the condensation circulation pipe is connected to the upper discharge pipe.

[0016] Preferably, the notches of two adjacent trays among the plurality of trays inside the distillation tower are staggered, so that steam at the bottom of the distillation tower can rise to the upper part of the distillation tower along the air flow path formed by the plurality of trays. There are two notches on the tray, and the two notches are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tray. The deflection angle between two adjacent trays in the distillation tower is 90°.

[0017] By staggering several tower plates, the position of the liquid can be dispersed when the liquid overflows from the gaps in the tower plates, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange.

[0018] Preferably, an overflow port is provided at the top of the water baffle, and there is a gap between the edge of the one-way plate and the inner wall of the distillation tower. When the processes of liquid inflow, liquid outflow, evaporation and condensation in the distillation tower reach a balance point, the liquid overflowing from the overflow port can overcome the torsion force of the torsion spring, causing the one-way plate to rotate downward, and the limit position of the one-way plate's upward rotation is horizontal.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the steam hole on the tower plate is provided with an air jet assembly, and the air jet assembly comprises:

[0020] A cover, with a plurality of air outlets at the bottom, the bottom of the cover is fixedly connected to the top of the tower plate and corresponds to the position of the steam holes;

[0021] An upper steam pipe, the upper steam pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the steam hole, the top of the upper steam pipe is higher than the height of the overflow port, and an annular cavity is formed between the upper steam pipe and the cover;

[0022] An encryption block, wherein a plurality of fine holes are formed on the encryption block;

[0023] By setting up the encryption block, the gas density can be increased when it rises. The encryption block has several fine holes, and the inner diameter of the fine holes can be set according to actual needs;

[0024] a float valve, which is installed on the top of the upper steam pipe and can block the upper steam pipe. A spring is connected between the top of the float valve and the upper inner wall of the cover. When steam enters the steam hole, the rising pressure of the steam can overcome the pressure of the spring and push the float valve open, allowing the steam to enter the annular cavity and finally be discharged from the outlet;

[0025] By setting a float valve, when the air pressure is low, the float valve cannot be pushed open, allowing the gas to concentrate. When the air pressure accumulates to a certain value, the float valve can be pushed open, thereby ensuring the stability of the air pressure in the steam hole.

[0026] Preferably, the inner bottom of the distillation tower is connected to a support base, the middle part of the support base is rotatably connected to a drive rod, the bottom of the drive rod is connected to a spiral rod, the spiral rod extends into the heating circulation port at the bottom of the distillation tower, the top of the drive rod is connected to a blade, and the outer wall of the drive rod is connected to a scraper.

[0027] A distillation separation method for recovering tetrahydrofuran comprises the following steps:

[0028] S1. The rectified tetrahydrofuran raw material liquid is injected from the middle of the distillation tower. The raw liquid flows to the tray in the lower half of the distillation tower. When it reaches a certain capacity, the raw liquid overflows from the side of the tray to the next tray, and then the reboiler and condenser are started;

[0029] S2, the reboiler heats the liquid to 66 ℃ - 68 ℃ of tetrahydrofuran, so that the light component tetrahydrofuran in the original liquid is evaporated, and the evaporated gas enters the interior of the distillation tower;

[0030] S3. The gas rises inside the distillation tower, rising from the steam holes on the tray to the top of the tray, and passes through each tray in turn, allowing the steam to come into contact with the original liquid, exchanging heat, causing part of the steam to be liquefied and part of the original liquid to be vaporized. The gas then continues to rise until it reaches the top of the distillation tower;

[0031] S4. The condenser at the top of the distillation tower cools and liquefies the steam to obtain the final tetrahydrofuran liquid.

[0032] Preferably, a circulation pump is installed at the bottom of the reboiler for pumping the liquid in the distillation tower into the reboiler, and then injecting the heated boiling steam into the distillation tower.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. By arranging blades, a driving rod and a screw rod at the bottom of the distillation tower, when the liquid flows out from the heating circulation port, the screw rod is driven to rotate under the action of the water flow, thereby further driving the driving rod and blades to rotate. The rotation of the blades generates wind force, blowing the steam to the top of the distillation tower, thereby accelerating the rising speed of the steam.

[0035] 2. By setting notches on the side of the tower plate, when the liquid on the upper tower plate reaches a certain thickness, it can overflow to the lower tower plate through the notches. The steam from the lower layer can be discharged upward through the steam holes to heat the liquid in the tower plate. By setting a one-way plate, the steam cannot rise from the notch of the tower plate and can only rise from the steam holes, thereby ensuring the rising gas pressure in the steam holes.

[0036] 3. By setting a float valve, when the air pressure is low, the float valve cannot be opened, allowing the gas to concentrate. When the air pressure accumulates to a certain value, the float valve can be opened, thereby ensuring the stability of the air pressure in the steam hole.

[0037] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and part of them will become obvious from the description, or will be understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention can be realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the written description and the accompanying drawings.

When a certain volume is reached, the raw liquid overflows from the side of the tray (201) to the next tray (201). Then, the reboiler (107) and the condenser (104) are started. S2, the reboiler (107) heats the liquid to 66°C-68°C of tetrahydrofuran, so that the light component tetrahydrofuran in the original liquid is evaporated, and the evaporated gas enters the interior of the distillation tower (1); S3, the gas rises inside the distillation tower (1), rises from the steam holes (202) on the tower plate (201) to the top of the tower plate (201), and passes through each stage of the tower plate (201) in sequence, allowing the steam to contact with the original liquid, causing heat exchange, so that part of the steam is liquefied and part of the original liquid is vaporized, and then the gas continues to rise until it reaches the top of the distillation tower (1); S4. The condenser (104) at the top of the distillation tower (1) cools and liquefies the steam to obtain the final tetrahydrofuran liquid.

8. A rectification and separation method for recovering tetrahydrofuran (THF) as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that: A circulating pump is installed at the bottom of the reboiler (107) for pumping the liquid in the distillation tower (1) into the reboiler (107), and then injecting the heated boiling steam into the distillation tower (1).
