Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic solvent recovery, and in particular to a system and method for recovering a normal hexane solution from a reaction solution. Background Art
[0002] Magnetic beads are a kind of medium biological product used for biological genetic separation, purification and detection, especially in the separation, purification and detection of infectious diseases and genetic diseases. In the process of producing magnetic beads, n-hexane solution is used. Because n-hexane solution is volatile, the gas it produces is not only pungent, but also toxic, irritating, teratogenic and carcinogenic. Therefore, the generated gas must be properly handled. The environmental protection department requires that n-hexane gas must be condensed and recovered before being discharged into the atmosphere. Otherwise, direct incineration of n-hexane gas will not only cause harm to the environment, but also may explode due to contact between gas and air. The lower explosion limit is 1.1% and the upper explosion limit is 7.5%. Although n-hexane gas can be adsorbed by activated carbon, this method consumes a lot of activated carbon and increases costs. The current production process is to directly use activated carbon to adsorb n-hexane gas, which not only leads to the failure to recycle the n-hexane raw materials, wastes resources, but also fails to meet the new environmental protection requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing process, recycle n-hexane, improve resource utilization, reduce the use of activated carbon, and thus reduce costs and environmental burdens.

[0091] Working process of the present invention:
[0092] 1. Before filling with nitrogen, there is no solution in the reactor, only air. Then check the valve switch status. First, the first valve body 8, the third valve body 13, and the seventh valve body 56 are required to be fully open, and the gas throttle valve 523 is closed; secondly, the second valve body 9 is required to be in the straight-through position, and the internal channel is fully opened; the fourth valve body 16, the sixth valve body 524, and the fifth valve body 53 are closed; all other inlets and outlets of the reactor are closed.
[0093] 2. Open the nitrogen bottle 521, adjust the pressure of the pressure reducing valve 522 to 0.04-0.08MPa, which can be 0.04-0.06MPa or 0.06-0.08MPa, first open the nitrogen to fill the sixth valve body 524, then slowly open the gas throttle valve 523 to fill the nitrogen, adjust the opening degree of the gas throttle valve 523 according to the situation of the air pressure monitoring device 54, observe the oxygen content, when the oxygen measuring unit 51 shows that the oxygen content reaches 0.09%, start the circulation fan 6; when the oxygen measuring unit 51 shows that the oxygen content reaches 0.05%, open the fifth valve body 53 and close the fourth valve body 16; observe the circulation wind speed, The wind speed on the anemometer 14 is adjusted to 1.4m / s-1.6m / s by adjusting the opening degree of the first valve body 8 and the third valve body 13, which can be optionally 1.4-1.5m / s or 1.5-1.6m / s; then, when the liquid level is lower than the second liquid level sensor 541, liquid is added manually to replenish liquid to the pipeline; when the liquid level is higher than the fourth liquid level sensor 543, the sixth valve body 524 is closed and nitrogen filling is stopped; when the third liquid level sensor 542 does not detect the liquid level, the sixth valve body 524 is opened to fill nitrogen; then after the system for recovering n-hexane solution operates normally for a period of time, the condensation recovery device 4 is turned on.
[0094] 3. Add the reaction solution into the reactor. The reaction solution is a liquid containing n-hexane used to produce magnetic beads, and then stir all the solutions in the reactor.
[0095] 4. The circulating fan 6 sucks the n-hexane gas in the reactor into the first heat exchange unit 2 for heat exchange. The temperature of the n-hexane gas is initially lowered, and the gas is mainly above zero degrees. Then, the n-hexane gas is heat exchanged with the low-temperature gas on the other side through the second heat exchange unit 3. The n-hexane gas is lowered to below zero degrees. The liquefied water enters the water collection unit 7. When the system pressure is too high, it can be exhausted through the water seal safety valve 72. The first liquid level sensor 71 can detect whether there is water at the lowest point of the water seal safety valve 72. If not, water can be added manually. The temperature in the condensation recovery device 4 is about -40 degrees. The n-hexane gas enters the condensation recovery device 4 for liquefaction.

[0096] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for recovering n-hexane solution from a reaction liquid, comprising the following steps: the gas generated from the reaction unit is subjected to heat exchange through a first heat exchange unit and a second heat exchange unit respectively, and then enters a condensation recovery device for low-temperature condensation to provide a n-hexane liquid phase stream and tail gas, the n-hexane liquid phase stream enters a liquid storage unit after filtration, and the tail gas is refluxed to the reaction unit.
[0097] In the method for recovering n-hexane solution from a reaction liquid provided by the present invention, the reaction liquid is a liquid containing n-hexane and is used to produce magnetic beads.
[0098] In the method for recovering n-hexane solution from reaction liquid provided by the present invention, the gas comprises 1% n-hexane, 98% nitrogen, and other 1% such as water vapor.
[0099] In the method for recovering n-hexane solution from reaction liquid provided by the present invention, the temperature of the low-temperature condensation is -45°C--35°C, which can be -45°C--40°C or -40°C--35°C.

[0101] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, all reaction raw materials are commercially available products.
[0102] Unless otherwise specified, the purity of each product in each embodiment of the present invention exceeds 98%.
[0103] Example 1

Open the nitrogen bottle 521, adjust the pressure of the pressure reducing valve 522 to 0.04-0.08MPa, first fill the sixth valve body 524 with nitrogen, then slowly open the gas throttle valve 523, and adjust the opening degree of the gas throttle valve 523 according to the air pressure monitoring device 54. When the oxygen measuring unit 51 shows that the oxygen content reaches 0.09%, turn on the circulating fan 6; when the oxygen content drops to 0.05%, open the fifth valve body 53 and close the fourth valve body 16. Adjust the first valve body 8 and the third valve body 13, and adjust the wind speed on the anemometer 14 to 1.4-1.6m / s. Adjust the nitrogen filling according to the air pressure monitoring device 54.
[0105] After the system is running normally, the condensation recovery device 4 is started, and the reaction solution is added to the reaction unit 1 and stirred. The gas generated from the reaction unit includes 1% of n-hexane, 98% of nitrogen, and 1% of water vapor. The generated gas enters the condensation recovery device 4 for low-temperature condensation after heat exchange through the first heat exchange unit 2 and the second heat exchange unit 3. The temperature in the condensation recovery device 4 is -40°C to provide n-hexane liquid phase stream and tail gas. The n-hexane liquid phase stream enters the liquid storage unit 17 after filtration. The recovery rate of n-hexane increases with the extension of the system operation time. The tail gas is refluxed to the reaction unit 1, and the temperature of the tail gas is -40°C.
