Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of resource recycling, in particular to a glycerol residue recycling process and a glycerol residue recycling treatment system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The most commonly used refining technology for crude glycerol is rectification separation technology. Regardless of the rectification technology, glycerol residue will be produced after rectification. The main components of glycerol residue are inorganic salts, glycerol (glycerol and polyglycerol) and impurities. The treatment of glycerol residue is difficult. The treatment by landfill and combustion not only pollutes the environment but also wastes resources. A feasible recycling process is needed to recover the available resources in glycerol residue and realize the resource utilization of waste.

[0003] When glycerol is rectified by sulfuric acid conditioning, in order to avoid the generation of sulfide gas, the rectification will not be excessive. The rectification mother liquor produced contains a high amount of water. The solid residue (glycerol residue) separated by centrifugation of the rectification mother liquor contains more than 70% inorganic salts. The resource utilization of glycerol residue is mainly the recovery of waste salt. In Chinese patent CN 114773159 B, the glycerol residue mainly containing sulfate is recycled by crystallization. The glycerol residue is diluted with water and then crystallized at low temperature to separate the salt. The solid phase of the crystallized salt is sodium sulfate. This process only recovers the glycerol residue containing sulfate and does not achieve fine utilization of glycerol.

[0004] When glycerol is rectified by hydrochloric acid conditioning, in order to improve the recovery rate of glycerol, the glycerol is often "baked" at high temperature. The inorganic salt crystallizes and separates out as the water content decreases. The separated inorganic salt is washed and reused. The liquid phase of the rectification mother liquor contains a low amount of water. The mother liquor is cooled and condensed into solid or semi-solid residue. The glycerol residue contains less than 50% inorganic salt and more than 35% glycerol (glycerol and polyglycerol). The resource utilization of glycerol residue is mainly the recovery of glycerol. For the recycling of glycerol residue containing chloride, organic solvents such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol can be used to extract and recover glycerol. However, these solvents are flammable and explosive, which is not safe. Molecular distillation can also be used to evaporate and recover glycerol. However, this process can only separate and recover glycerol from glycerol, and the polyglycerol and chloride are co-crystallized and discarded, which does not achieve fine resource utilization. The solubility of conventional inorganic chloride in water is relatively high, which makes it difficult to separate and recover chloride by crystallization. Ion exchange resin can also be used to adsorb and recover salt to recover glycerol. However, this process cannot recover inorganic salt, which does not achieve fine resource utilization.

[0005] Currently, the existing glycerol residue recycling processes have the following problems:

[0006] 1) The safety of organic solvents is poor;

[0007] 2) Inorganic salt, glycerol and polyglycerol are not completely separated, and fine resource utilization is not achieved;

[0008] 3) Chloride ions are difficult to separate, and there is no specific method for glycerol residue in chloro salt system. SUMMARY

[0009] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present application provides a glycerol residue recycling process and a glycerol residue recycling treatment system, which realizes fine recycling of glycerol residue resources, and has high safety in the whole process.

[0021] Step five: microfiltration to remove gel:

[0022] The supernatant produced in step four is filtered using a microfiltration membrane, and macromolecular organic matter with a molecular weight greater than 1 million and residual colloids are separated into a microfiltration concentrate, and a microfiltration clear liquid is obtained;

[0057] If the chloride ion content is less than or equal to 500 mg / L, add sulfuric acid to adjust the pH of the supernatant to neutral, and add sodium carbonate to react with calcium ions in the supernatant after separating the Friedel salt precipitate to form calcium carbonate. The amount of sodium carbonate added is determined by the criterion that no precipitate is produced when the supernatant after separating the Friedel salt precipitate is continuously added with sodium carbonate. The calcium carbonate precipitate is separated and recycled.

The Fries salt can effectively remove harmful anions (such as arsenate, chromate, selenate, antimonate, etc.) and inorganic heavy metal cations (cadmium ion, copper ion, lead ion, nickel ion, etc.) in wastewater, and by adding certain additives, a heavy metal capturing agent can be prepared for removing heavy metals in electroplating wastewater.

[0069] The separated calcium carbonate precipitate in the fourth step is washed and purified to prepare refined calcium carbonate for industrial production.

[0070] The inorganic salts in the nanofiltration concentrated water obtained in the seventh step are adsorbed by ion resin to prepare refined polyglycerol for industrial production. The low degree of polymerization polyglycerol with a molecular weight of 200-1000 obtained in the seventh step is mainly 2-9 polyglycerol, which has applications in cosmetics, fiber industry and plastic industry.
