Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemicals, and in particular to a purification and dehydration system and process for an organic solvent containing solid impurities. Background Art

[0002] At present, organic solvents are usually heated and evaporated by stirring kettles. The organic solvents and water are gasified and taken out from the top of the kettle and then condensed. The solid impurities are discharged from the bottom of the kettle as kettle residue. This method can only be operated in batches and intermittently, and the subsequent dehydration and purification process requires secondary gasification. The organic solvent after the separation of solid impurities is usually dehydrated and purified by azeotropic distillation process. This method has high energy consumption because it requires a high reflux ratio and recovery of the entrainer, and will also introduce a small amount of entrainer impurities. It can also be directly dehydrated and purified by membrane dehydration equipment, but because of the high water content, the membrane area used is large, which will increase equipment investment.
