[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analytical instruments, and in particular relates to an instrument and a method for online detection of the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene. Background Art
[0002] Nitrochlorobenzene mainly refers to p-nitrochlorobenzene and α-nitrochlorobenzene, which are important basic petrochemical organic raw materials and are widely used in chemical industries such as pesticides, medicines, and rubber additives. The production of nitrochlorobenzene mostly adopts nitration, distillation, and crystallization separation. The finished products of p-nitrochlorobenzene and α-nitrochlorobenzene are separated by the difference in crystallization points.
[0003] At present, the crystallization point of p-nitrochlorobenzene in the nitrochlorobenzene production device is measured by manual sampling, and the crystallization point and purity are determined by observing the sample temperature when the crystals are precipitated through natural cooling of the ambient temperature. This method has the disadvantages of long analysis time, delayed measurement results, large errors, etc., resulting in increased system energy consumption and low product qualification rate. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an instrument and method for online detection of the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene. Designing an automatic sampling and measuring detector based on a single-chip microcomputer control system can realize the online automatic measurement function and solve the shortcomings of long lag and large error of manual sampling analysis.

[0006] Furthermore, the measurement system includes 2 temperature sensors, and the temperature control system includes 1 temperature sensor.
[0007] Preferably, the temperature sensors are all PT1000 temperature sensors.
[0008] Furthermore, the measuring cell and the heating box are both provided with a heat-insulating layer.
[0009] Furthermore, the computer control system includes a liquid crystal display screen and independent buttons.
[0010] Preferably, the data storage module is AT24C02, and is remotely transmitted via a 4-20mA standard signal output circuit.
[0011] The present invention also provides a method for online detection of the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene by using the above-mentioned instrument, which is characterized in that the instrument introduces the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be tested into the measuring system under the control of a computer control system, realizes the cooling crystallization process through the cooling air introduced by the temperature control system, collects the temperature signal through the temperature sensor signal amplification circuit and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit, calculates the crystallization point temperature of p-nitrochlorobenzene, and then uses a series of standard p-nitrochlorobenzene solutions of different purities to make a regression curve of the p-nitrochlorobenzene purity and the crystallization point temperature according to the external standard method, and then compares the regression curve with the crystallization point temperature value to obtain the purity corresponding to the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be tested.
[0012] Furthermore, the method specifically comprises the following steps: (1) Under the control of the computer system, the measuring system follows the workflow set by the analyzer. Step 1: open the feed control valve and close the discharge control valve at the same time. The p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be measured flows into the measuring cell through the feed pipeline. After the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution fills the measuring cell, the feed control valve is closed. Step 2: introduce air from the temperature control system through the temperature control coil wrapped around the measuring cell to cool the measuring cell. Under the control of the computer system, start the stirring motor to ensure that the temperature of the solution in the measuring cell drops evenly until the crystallization point. Step 3: the computer control system detects and records the temperature data of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution during the cooling-heating-constant temperature process through the temperature sensor during the measurement process. After optimization, the crystallization point of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be measured is obtained. Step 4: after the measurement is completed, open the discharge control valve. The temperature control coil introduces hot gas from the temperature control system to the measuring cell and the crystallized p-nitrochlorobenzene in the measuring cell to heat and melt it to a liquid state. The molten p-nitrochlorobenzene solution flows out of the detector through the discharge control valve and the discharge pipeline. (2) After the instrument is powered on, the electric heater is first used to heat the heating box. The temperature sensor detects the real-time temperature of the heating box. The computer controls the output power of the electric heater to control the temperature of the heating box to the set value. During the cooling and crystallization process of the measuring system, under the control of the computer system, the heating box inlet control valve and the heating box outlet control valve are closed, the cooling gas control valve is opened, and the gas source gas is sent to the measuring system temperature control coil through the gas source pipe and the cooling gas pipe to cool the measuring pool. During the heating and melting process of the measuring system, the cooling gas control valve is closed, the heating box inlet control valve and the heating box outlet control valve are opened, and the gas source gas is fully heated through the gas source pipe and the heating coil in the heating box and then sent to the measuring system temperature control coil for melting the crystallized and solidified p-nitrochlorobenzene in the measuring pool. (3) After the instrument is powered on, the temperature value of the electric heating box is detected by the temperature sensor of the electric heating box, and after comparing it with the set temperature, the output of the electric heater is controlled to keep the temperature of the electric heating box constant at the set temperature; after the temperature of the electric heating box is constant, the computer system controls the opening of the feed control valve and the closing of the discharge control valve to introduce the test solution into the measuring cell; after the test solution is introduced into the measuring cell, the feed control valve is closed, the cooling gas control valve is opened, and the cooling gas is cooled through the temperature control coil to cool the measuring cell, and the stirring motor is turned on to stir the solution in the measuring cell to cool it evenly; the computer system reads the temperature value of the solution during the cooling and crystallization process to obtain the crystallization point temperature, and calculates the purity through a mathematical model; after completing the crystallization point temperature measurement, the computer system controls the opening of the discharge control valve, the heating box inlet control valve, and the heating box outlet control valve, and introduces the heating gas into the temperature control coil to heat the measuring cell, and heats the measuring cell to above the crystallization point of the solution, so that the crystals in the measuring cell are fully melted and then flow out of the measuring cell; (4) Online purity detection: According to the external standard method, a series of standard p-nitrochlorobenzene solutions with different purities are used to draw a regression curve between the p-nitrochlorobenzene purity and the crystallization point temperature. The crystallization point temperature and the purity corresponding to the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be tested are further calculated and displayed.
[0013] Preferably, the method obtains the corresponding purity by measuring the crystallization point temperature with the aid of a regression curve. In the range of 0-102°C, the regression curve of the crystallization point temperature and purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene is y=1.1172x+7.444, wherein y is the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene and x is the crystallization point temperature of p-nitrochlorobenzene.
[0014] Advantages of the present invention: The analyzer calculates the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene by measuring the crystallization point, has the advantages of high precision, fast response and good stability, and overcomes the disadvantages of large error and measurement lag caused by manual analysis. At the same time, the measured value of the analyzer can be fed back to the process production in real time, improve the degree of production automation, and thus improve product quality.

Implementation
[0018] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. Example
[0019] Instrument reference for online detection of p-nitrochlorobenzene purity Figure 1-3 , mainly including measurement system, temperature control system, and computer control system.

[0020] Figure 1In the example shown, under the control of a computer system, the feed control valve (5) is opened, the discharge control valve (9) is closed, and the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be measured is introduced into the measuring cell (7) through the feed pipeline (6). After the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution fills the measuring cell (7), the feed control valve (5) is closed, and cooling air is introduced through the temperature control coil (1) to cool the measuring cell. The temperature sensor 1 (3) is externally arranged and close to the measuring cell (7). The temperature sensor 1 (3) controls the temperature reduction range of the measuring cell (7) to meet the crystallization requirements of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution. The temperature control coil (1) introduces cooling air to cool the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to the crystallization point. According to the principle of thermodynamics, the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution releases heat during crystallization, causing the solution temperature to rise and be kept constant at a certain temperature value. After all the crystals release heat, the temperature continues to be lowered. The computer control system detects and records the temperature data of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution during the cooling-heating-constant temperature process through the temperature sensor 2 (4), and obtains the crystallization point of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution to be measured after optimization. During the cooling and crystallization process, the stirring motor (8) is controlled by a computer to ensure that the temperature of the solution in the measuring pool (7) is uniform. After the measurement is completed, the discharge control valve (9) is opened, and the temperature control coil (1) introduces hot air to heat and melt the crystallized and solidified p-nitrochlorobenzene in the measuring pool (7) to a liquid state, and the molten p-nitrochlorobenzene solution flows out of the detection instrument through the discharge control valve (9) and the discharge pipeline (10). The insulation layer (2) of the measuring pool is used to reduce heat loss during the melting process. The detection instrument cyclically runs the above measurement process to achieve online measurement of the crystallization point temperature of the p-nitrochlorobenzene solution.
[0021] Furthermore, a regression curve of nitrochlorobenzene purity and crystallization temperature is drawn using a series of standard nitrochlorobenzene solutions of different purity according to the external standard method, and then the purity corresponding to the nitrochlorobenzene solution to be tested is obtained by comparing the regression curve with the crystallization temperature value. In the range of 0-102°C, the regression curve of the crystallization temperature and purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene is y=1.1172x+7.444, where y is the purity of p-nitrochlorobenzene and x is the crystallization temperature of p-nitrochlorobenzene.

During the cooling process of the measuring system, under the control of the computer system, the cooling air control valve (13) is opened, the heating box inlet control valve (15) and the heating box outlet control valve (20) are closed, and the air source air is passed into the measuring system temperature control coil (1) through the air source pipe (11), the cooling air pipe (12), and the cooling air control valve (13). During the heating and melting process of the measuring system, the cooling air control valve (13) is closed, the heating box inlet control valve (15) and the heating box outlet control valve (20) are opened, and the air source air is passed into the measuring system temperature control coil (1) after being fully heated through the air source pipe (11), the heating box inlet control valve (15), the heating coil (14), and the heating box outlet control valve (20). The heating box insulation layer (18) is used to keep the heating box (17) warm.

After the calculation, the crystallization point and purity value are displayed on a 128*64-bit liquid crystal display. The processor STC89C516 outputs signals to drive the feed control valve (5), the discharge control valve (9), the cooling gas control valve (13), the heating box inlet control valve (15), the heating box outlet control valve (20), and the stirring motor (8) to operate according to the detection process. The computer control system is equipped with an AT24C02 data storage module to store the measurement data. The four-digit key is directly recognized and responded by the processor, and the measurement value is remotely transmitted through a 4~20mA standard signal.
