Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical industry, and in particular to the treatment of PBT waste liquid. Background Art

[0002] At present, almost all newly built polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) projects in China adopt the process of direct esterification of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO). The direct esterification method for producing PBT will produce a waste liquid containing tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a by-product (referred to as: PBT waste liquid in this application). The main components of PBT waste liquid are THF and water. At the same time, the waste liquid also contains a small amount of organic impurities such as BDO, PBT and dibasic acids. Recovering THF from PBT waste liquid can turn waste into treasure and increase the company's profits. At present, the main methods for recovering THF from PBT waste liquid include pressure swing distillation, distillation-membrane coupling method, etc. Wastewater will be generated in the process of recovering THF. Since the boiling point of impurities in PBT waste liquid is almost higher than the boiling point of water, impurities will be enriched in water, resulting in a high COD of wastewater (COD of about 25-40g / L).

[0003] In the prior art, when recovering THF from PBT waste liquid, there are few reports on the treatment of high COD wastewater. The following two methods are commonly used for industrial wastewater treatment: one method is to add a regulating tank, mix the low COD wastewater from various regions (such as circulating water sewage, laboratory wastewater, flushing water, initial rainwater, etc.) with high COD wastewater, reduce the COD of the wastewater to meet the requirements of the sewage treatment plant, and then discharge it to the sewage treatment plant; the other method is to design a sewage treatment system, which generally includes a hydrolysis acidification process, an anaerobic process, and an aerobic process, which can treat wastewater with a COD of 5g / L to below 0.3g / L, and then discharge it to the sewage treatment plant. However, the limitation of this method is that the COD of the wastewater entering the sewage treatment system is required to be approximately less than 10g / L.

[0004] However, the COD of the wastewater generated in the process of recovering THF from PBT waste liquid is relatively high (COD is about 25-40g / L), which shows that the wastewater cannot be directly treated by the sewage treatment system. On the other hand, due to the high COD of the wastewater, if the COD of the wastewater is adjusted to meet the requirements of the sewage treatment plant by using the regulating tank method, according to preliminary calculations, the flow rate of circulating water to discharge sewage is about 7.0 times the flow rate of the wastewater, that is, the total wastewater discharge has increased by 7.0 times, which not only requires a larger regulating tank space, but also increases the load of biochemical treatment.

[0005] Therefore, how to effectively reduce the COD of wastewater has always been a difficult problem to solve in this field. Summary of the invention

[0077] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The experimental methods for which specific conditions are not specified in the following examples are usually measured according to national standards. If there is no corresponding national standard, then the conditions recommended by the manufacturer are followed.

[0078] Example

[0079] PBT waste liquid from a PBT production device is provided, wherein various parameters of the PBT waste liquid are: temperature 30° C., pressure 200 kPaA, flow rate 300 kg / h, THF content 34.4 wt %, water content 64.4 wt %, PBT content 0.6 wt %, and adipic acid content 0.6 wt % in the waste liquid.

[0080] The PBT waste liquid is first heated by the high-pressure tower heat exchanger 8 and then enters the atmospheric pressure tower 1 for distillation, wherein the atmospheric pressure tower 1 has an operating pressure of 108 kPaA, 20 theoretical plates, a mass reflux ratio of 2.0, a tower top temperature of 65.2°C, and a tower bottom temperature of 99.2°C.

[0081] After condensation, the low-boiling substances in the gas phase at the top of the atmospheric tower 1 enter the atmospheric tower reflux tank 3. After the condensate in the atmospheric tower reflux tank 3 is pressurized by the atmospheric tower reflux pump 4, one stream is used as the reflux of the atmospheric tower 1, and the other stream enters the high-pressure tower 7 after being heated by the wastewater tower heat exchanger 13. The operating pressure of the high-pressure tower 7 is 800 kPaA, the number of theoretical plates is 20, the mass reflux ratio is 2.5, the tower top temperature is 134.2°C, and the tower bottom temperature is 146.7°C.

[0082] The COD of the primary wastewater from the bottom of the atmospheric tower 1 was tested to be about 31.6 g / L. The primary wastewater was pressurized by the atmospheric tower bottom pump 6 and then entered the wastewater tower 12. The operating pressure of the wastewater tower 12 was 600 kPaA, the number of theoretical plates was 20, the mass reflux ratio was 0.3, the tower top temperature was 150.4°C, and the bottom temperature was 175.5°C.

[0083] The high-boiling gas phase at the top of the high-pressure tower 7 is condensed by the high-pressure tower heat exchanger 8 and enters the high-pressure tower reflux tank 9. The condensate in the high-pressure tower reflux tank 9 is pressurized by the high-pressure tower reflux pump 10, one part is used as the reflux of the high-pressure tower 7, and the other part is mixed with the PBT waste liquid from the PBT production device and enters the high-pressure tower heat exchanger 8. The qualified THF product with a flow rate of 102.3 kg / h, a mass fraction of 99.89 wt%, and a yield of 99.0% can be obtained at the bottom of the high-pressure tower 7.

[0084] The gas phase at the top of the wastewater tower 12 is divided into two parts: one part of the gas phase is condensed and enters the wastewater tower reflux tank 15 after preheating the feed of the high-pressure tower 7 through the wastewater tower heat exchanger 13. The other part of the gas phase is condensed in the wastewater tower condenser 14 and then condensed and enters the wastewater tower reflux tank 15. The condensate in the wastewater tower reflux tank 15, i.e., the secondary wastewater, is pressurized by the wastewater tower reflux pump 16, one part is used as the reflux of the wastewater tower 12, and the other part is sent to the sewage treatment plant for treatment after meeting the sewage discharge requirements, wherein the COD of the wastewater is about 0.9g / L; a small amount of concentrated liquid extracted from the bottom of the wastewater tower 12 is sent to a qualified unit for incineration treatment, and the PBT content, adipic acid content, and water content in the concentrated liquid are about 37.8wt%, about 37.8wt%, and about 24.4wt%.

[0085] According to calculations, if the wastewater is not distilled and separated through the wastewater treatment system, in order to reduce the COD of the primary wastewater to meet the takeover requirements of the sewage treatment plant, the flow rate of circulating water to discharge sewage is about 7.0 times the flow rate of wastewater produced from the kettle of atmospheric pressure tower 1, that is, the total wastewater discharge is increased by 7.0 times, which not only requires a larger regulating tank space, but also increases the load of biochemical treatment.

[0086] This embodiment controls the COD of secondary wastewater to 0.9 g / L while ensuring the yield of qualified THF products is 99.0%, greatly reducing the difficulty and load of biochemical treatment. In addition, the design of the high-pressure tower heat exchanger 8 and the wastewater tower heat exchanger 13 saves about 25% of steam consumption.
