There is a certain difference between the TOC index in the stripping acid on the production unit and the TOC index of the stripping acid obtained in the laboratory experiment, so a method of reducing the TOC index using a regenerated extractant is proposed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for reducing TOC index by using a regenerated extractant comprises the following steps:

[0024] Step 1: Take concentrated acid, let it stand for 2 days to clarify, take the clarified supernatant for the experiment, and the solid content at this time is less than 0.5%;

[0025] Step 2: Regeneration of the extractant: 1000 mL of the system empty extractant and 1000 mL of 10% sodium hydroxide were taken in a volume ratio of 1:1, stirred in a water bath at 60°C for 30 min, and then the phases were taken out and separated. The regenerated ester phase was washed with deionized water in a volume ratio of 1:1 until neutral, and 870 mL (767.57 g) of the regenerated ester was obtained;

[0026] Step 3: Extract the concentrated acid treated in step 1 with the regenerated ester phase obtained in step 2, take 800 mL (about 708.81 g) of the regenerated ester phase and 200 mL (about 337.99 g) of the concentrated acid, stir and extract at 60°C for 30 min, then stand for 30 min to separate the phases, and separate the phases after the ester phase is completely clear for 2 hours to obtain the raffinate acid and the loaded ester phase;

[0027] Step 4: No washing, fine desulfurization and other processes were performed in the experiment. The loaded ester phase was directly stripped with deionized water. About 810 g of the loaded ester phase was taken, 810 g of deionized water was added, and the stripping was stirred at 60°C for 30 min, and then the phases were allowed to stand for 30 min. Then the phases were taken out and placed in a separating funnel until the ester phase was completely transparent (about 1 h) and then the phases were separated to obtain stripped acid and an empty ester phase;

[0028] Step 5: The stripping acid obtained in step 4 is used to measure phosphorus, sulfur, iron, fluorine and TOC indicators.

[0029] To obtain the regenerated extractant, 337.99 g (200 ml) of concentrated acid and 708.81 g (800 ml) of regenerated ester phase were taken in the extraction process. After extraction, 228.03 g of raffinate acid and 811.04 g of loaded ester phase were obtained. In the stripping process, 811.04 g of loaded ester phase obtained in the extraction process was taken, 810.06 g of deionized water was added thereto, and stripping was performed to obtain 865.99 g of stripping acid.

[0030] The stripping acid was tested and the P2O5 content was 7.85%, the Fe content was 0.0358%, and the SO4 2- The content is 0.5818%, the F content is 0.0283%, the TOC content is 0.0163%, and the stripping rate is 44.06%.

[0031] Comparative test example

[0032] In order to ensure that the extractant is regenerated thoroughly and that the regenerated extractant is more capable of reducing TOC indicators, a comparative experiment will be conducted.

[0033] Experiment 1: Regeneration of the extractant

[0034] Take 905.73g (about 1000ml) of the system empty extractant, add 1097.64g of 10% sodium hydroxide (about 1000ml), stir and react in a water bath at 60°C for 30min, then take out the phase separation, and obtain about 960g of ester phase and about 950g of water phase. The color of the water phase is brown, and wash with deionized water until neutral, and obtain about 790g of ester phase, which is the first regeneration. To ensure that the ester phase is regenerated thoroughly, add 500g of 5% sodium hydroxide to the 790g of ester phase obtained after the first regeneration, stir and react in a water bath at 60°C for 30min, then take out the phase separation, and obtain the water phase color transparent, indicating that the regeneration has been complete. The color of the ester phase is basically unchanged from that after the first regeneration, and the mass of the ester phase is 780g, indicating that one regeneration is indeed sufficient under this reaction condition;

[0035] The system was unloaded and the extractant was regenerated with 10% sodium hydroxide at a ratio of 1:1. After phase separation, no third phase appeared. The phase separation was basically complete in 5 minutes, which was much slower than the extraction phase separation. The mass loss of the extractant was about 20%. There was basically no mass loss after the second regeneration.

[0036] Therefore, the extractant only needs to be regenerated once. At the same time, in order to ensure that the indicators are not affected by sodium hydroxide, the regenerated extractant is washed with desalted water at a ratio of 1:1 until it is neutral. During the experiment, it is washed 4 times and then used for extraction.

[0037] Experiment 2: Comparison of empty extractant and regenerated extractant

[0038] Take 708.89 g (800 ml) of the empty organic phase, add 338.01 g (200 ml) of concentrated acid, stir and extract at 60°C for 30 min, then stand for 30 min to separate the phases. After the ester phase is completely clear (about 2 h), separate the phases to obtain the raffinate acid and the loaded ester phase.

[0039] 708.80 g (800 ml) of the regenerated ester phase was added with 337.99 g (200 ml) of concentrated acid. The mixture was extracted with stirring at 60°C for 30 min and then allowed to stand for 30 min for phase separation. After the ester phase was completely clear (about 2 h), the phases were separated to obtain the raffinate acid and the loaded ester phase.

[0040] The loaded ester phase obtained by extracting the empty organic phase and the regenerated ester phase is then stripped with deionized water to obtain stripping acid and an empty ester phase.

[0041] The experimental data of extraction and stripping of the empty organic phase or the regenerated ester phase are recorded as shown in Table 1 below:

[0042] Table 1 Extraction and back extraction data table

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] The raffinate acid obtained in the extraction process of the regenerated extractant is less than that obtained by the empty extractant, while the loaded ester is more. However, more stripping acid is obtained in the stripping process, and less empty ester is obtained. The various indicators of the stripping acid obtained by stripping with the empty extractant and the regenerated extractant are tested, and the result data are recorded as shown in Table 2 below:

[0046] Table 2 Comparison of extraction indexes before and after regeneration of extractant

[0047] Sample name P2O5% Fe% SO4% F% TOC% Original acid 45.65 / / / 0.0670 No-load extractant raffinate 38.24 / / / / Extraction rate 40.37% Regeneration of extractant raffinate 38.52 / / / / Extraction rate 43.07% No-load extractant stripping acid 6.80 0.0686 1.2698 0.0314 0.0770 Stripping rate 39.94% Regeneration of extractant stripping acid 7.85 0.0358 1.5831 0.0283 0.0163 Stripping rate 44.06%

[0048] According to the above data table, the P2O5 content in the stripping acid after regeneration is 7.85%, the Fe content is 0.0358%, and the SO4 2- The content is 1.5831%, the F content is 0.0283%, the TOC content is 0.0163%, and the stripping rate is 44.06%. Compared with the stripping rate of the stripping acid obtained by the empty extractant, the TOC in the stripping acid after regeneration is indeed only between 1 / 4 and 1 / 5 of that before regeneration. The organic matter carried is greatly reduced. In addition to TOC, the indicators of F and Fe are also greatly reduced. The ester phase extraction capacity is enhanced after regeneration, and the phosphoric acid extracted during the stripping process is also easily stripped out. Therefore, the regenerated extractant can effectively reduce the TOC index, etc.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make various similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
