[0002] Energy consumption in chemical industry processes has always been an issue that companies attach great importance to. Concentration and distillation are the unit operations that consume the most energy in the chemical industry. About 70% of the energy consumption in the chemical industry is used for concentration and distillation.

[0003] In the traditional concentration and distillation process, steam or heat medium is generally used to provide heat to the reboiler, and steam is mostly cooled by air or water cooling. While consuming a large amount of steam, a large amount of cold water or refrigerant is also consumed. High-temperature steam mostly comes from steam boilers, which use coal or natural gas as the combustion medium, releasing a large amount of CO2, which is not in line with the energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies advocated by the country. From the perspective of energy consumption, the heat released by steam condensation is taken away by cooling water and finally released into the atmosphere through cooling towers, which greatly wastes heat and consumes electricity. Therefore, chemical energy-saving technology has become an imminent key technology under the current policy environment. Summary of the invention

[0018] The essential features and remarkable effects of the present invention are: The present invention provides a highly safe and stable working fluid heat pump concentration and distillation system and process, which has the following substantial characteristics: 1) The system concentrates and distills the materials. The process uses a working fluid heat pump for heating and cooling, which is highly efficient and energy-saving; 2) The material to be processed first enters the two-stage concentration kettle for concentration, and through double-effect concentration, a qualified concentrated liquid product is obtained at the bottom outlet of the concentration kettle; 3) The solvent evaporated from the double-effect concentrator enters the distillation tower for distillation to obtain a high-purity solvent product; 4) The working fluid enters the compressor in gaseous state, is compressed and heated, and becomes high-temperature working fluid vapor; 5) The high-temperature working fluid steam at the compressor outlet exchanges heat with the first-stage concentrator reboiler and the distillation tower reboiler in turn, heating the process materials to vaporize them, and the working fluid steam releases heat and condenses into liquid; 6) After throttling, the liquid working medium becomes a low-temperature working medium. The low-temperature working medium condenses the steam at the top of the distillation tower into liquid in the condenser of the distillation tower. The working medium absorbs heat and evaporates into steam. The steam working medium returns to the compressor, and the cycle is repeated.

[0019] Significant effects: The working fluid heat pump concentration and distillation system and process of the present invention utilizes a non-flammable refrigerant as the working fluid, obtains heat supplement through compressor pressurization, and the working fluid provides heat for the reboiler of the first-stage concentration kettle and the reboiler of the distillation tower, so that the process medium evaporates continuously, and the working fluid itself condenses into a liquid phase after releasing heat. The throttled low-temperature working fluid continues to provide cooling capacity for the condenser of the distillation tower, so that the steam at the top of the distillation tower is condensed into liquid, and the working fluid itself absorbs heat and evaporates into a gas phase. The cycle is repeated, and a high-concentration concentrated liquid can be obtained at the bottom of the second-stage concentration kettle, and at the same time, a high-purity light component solvent can be obtained at the top of the distillation tower, and a high-purity heavy component solvent can be obtained in the bottom of the distillation tower. Compared with the traditional technology of directly using steam to heat the evaporator or distillation tower reboiler and using circulating cooling water to cool the top condenser, the present invention uses a working fluid heat pump cycle to recover a large amount of evaporation and condensation heat from the top of the distillation tower, and circulates it for heating the reboiler. The small amount of heat lost in the system is obtained by compressor pressurization and temperature increase, which greatly improves the efficiency of thermal energy utilization, greatly reduces energy consumption, and can achieve a very high energy efficiency ratio with a small amount of electricity, which is ultimately reflected in the greatly reduced operating cost of the concentration and distillation system. At the same time, the present invention uses a non-flammable working fluid, which is more safe and has good operating stability than the traditional direct process medium steam direct compression. The present invention provides a concentration and distillation system and process for energy saving, consumption reduction and emission reduction in the chemical industry.

[0023] The raw material enters the primary concentration kettle through the feed port 21, and its temperature can be room temperature or a temperature heated to below the bubble point of the feed liquid by the upstream process; a part of the discharge from the bottom of the primary concentration kettle 1 enters the concentration kettle reboiler 7 through the third feed port 22, and is heated, and then returns to the primary concentration kettle 1; another part of the discharge from the bottom of the primary concentration kettle 1 enters the secondary concentration kettle 2 through the second feed port 27. The evaporation steam of the primary concentration kettle 1 enters the shell side inlet of the secondary concentration kettle reboiler 8 from the top of the kettle through the first feed pipe 91, and the evaporation steam heats the secondary concentration kettle to the maximum extent, and then condenses into a liquid phase or a gas-liquid two-phase, and then enters the distillation tower through the third feed pipe 93 of the distillation tower.

[0024] The evaporated steam of the secondary concentrator 2 directly enters the distillation tower from the top of the kettle through the second feed pipe 92, and a part of the discharge from the bottom of the secondary concentrator 2 enters the secondary concentrator reboiler 8 through the fourth feed port 24 to be heated, and then returns to the secondary concentrator 2; another part of the discharge from the bottom of the secondary concentrator 2 is discharged as a concentrated liquid product through the first discharge pipe 94.

[0025] The top steam of the distillation tower 3 enters the distillation tower condenser 10 through the first gas phase pipe 95, and exchanges heat with the working fluid in the pipe process in the distillation tower condenser. The top steam of the distillation tower is condensed into gas-liquid two-phase, and the uncondensed gas phase enters the distillation tower tail gas condenser 11 through the second gas phase pipe 99, and continues to condense in the tail gas condenser 11. The uncondensed small amount of non-condensable gas is emptied or enters the waste gas treatment system through the third gas phase pipe 100. The condensed liquid of the process steam in the distillation tower condenser 10 and the condensation tower tail gas condenser 11 enters the distillation tower reflux tank 4. The distillate in the reflux tank 4 enters the distillation tower reflux pump 13 through the first distillate pipe 96, and a part of the distillate at the outlet of the reflux pump 13 is returned to the distillation tower 3 through the second distillate pipe 97 as reflux, and the other part of the distillate is discharged through the second discharge pipe 98 as the top product.

After heat exchange with the process medium on the tube side of the reboiler 7, the working fluid vapor releases heat and condenses into a liquid or a gas-liquid two-phase, and enters the distillation tower reboiler 9 through the first working fluid liquid phase pipe 82.

The working fluid is reduced in pressure and temperature by the electronic expansion valve 12 to become a low-temperature liquid working fluid, and then enters the distillation tower condenser 10 through the third working fluid liquid phase pipe 84. Here, the working fluid exchanges heat with the process steam on the shell side of the distillation tower condenser 10. The low-temperature liquid working fluid absorbs heat and vaporizes to become a gaseous working fluid. The gaseous working fluid returns to the compressor through the second working fluid gas phase pipe 85 and enters the next working fluid heat exchange cycle. Example
