Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical industry, and in particular to a method for treating glycine wastewater. Background Art

[0002] The traditional domestic chloroacetic acid method for producing glycine is as follows: add a catalyst urotropine aqueous solution to the reactor, add chloroacetic acid solution dropwise while passing ammonia gas, and perform an amination reaction within a certain temperature and pH range. After the reaction is completed, slowly add methanol aqueous solution dropwise to the reaction liquid and cool it to a certain range before centrifuging it in a centrifuge to obtain crude glycine. The mother liquor is distilled to recover methanol through a rectification tower, and water is recovered through multi-effect evaporation. The remaining kettle residue is cooled, crystallized, and filtered to obtain by-product ammonium chloride, and a reddish-brown waste liquid containing urotropine, glycine, and other side reaction products is also obtained.

[0003] In this production process, the catalyst urotropine required for the amination reaction cannot be recovered, and the high temperature conditions in the process of recovering methanol and water will lead to side reactions and produce a large amount of impurities. The recycling will affect the glycine yield; the methanol consumption per unit area is high in the process of producing glycine, and the mother liquor needs to consume a large amount of steam to recover methanol; some glycine and ammonium chloride are difficult to recover, and the recovery process through the distillation tower and multi-effect evaporation will produce a large amount of reddish-brown wastewater, which cannot be discharged directly, increasing the treatment cost.

[0004] Chinese patent CN102167668A discloses an environmentally friendly alcohol-phase chloroacetic acid method for producing glycine, a glycine production process using methanol or methanol aqueous solution as solvent, chloroacetic acid and liquid ammonia as raw materials, and nanofiltration membrane separation technology is used to achieve continuous production of glycine, and the catalyst urotropine can be recycled. The method is characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: step 1, selecting a reactor suitable for continuous reaction, the reactor having the following characteristics: the glycine ammonolysis reactor is equipped with a condenser, which can recover the solvent methanol or methanol aqueous solution; the mixed crystals of glycine and ammonium chloride generated in the reactor can be separated out in time; step 2, adding methanol or methanol aqueous solution into the reactor; adding urotropine to prepare urotropine methanol solution or urotropine methanol aqueous solution; the urotropine solution concentration is 3%-20% by weight; step 3, passing chloroacetic acid methanol solution or chloroacetic acid methanol aqueous solution into the reactor, and simultaneously passing liquid ammonia to carry out ammonolysis reaction; step 4, the ammonolysis reaction temperature is maintained at the methanol solution or methanol aqueous solution near the boiling point of the alcohol aqueous solution; methanol or methanol aqueous solution evaporates and is condensed and recovered by a condenser; the amount of methanol or methanol aqueous solution brought into the reactor by the chloroacetic acid solution is the same as the amount of methanol or methanol aqueous solution evaporated, ensuring that the total amount of methanol or methanol aqueous solution in the reactor remains unchanged; step five, the mixed crystal solid of glycine and ammonium chloride generated by the reaction is separated from the reactor in time by a crystallization device; the urotropine solution after filtering and centrifuging the mixed crystals of glycine and ammonium chloride is returned to the reactor for recycling; step six, the urotropine methanol solution or urotropine methanol aqueous solution in the reactor stops the aminolysis reaction after the color turns yellow; the solution is cooled and the ammonium chloride solid is filtered out, and then treated with a nanofiltration device; the nanofiltration device selects a nanofiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of less than 300; when the volume of the nanofiltration retentate is less than one-sixth of the volume of the permeate, the concentration is stopped; the nanofiltration permeate is returned to the reactor for recycling; step seven, after the mixed crystals of glycine and ammonium chloride are dissolved by heating with water, the glycine is recovered by alcohol precipitation. The production method does not generate high value-added glycine zinc and does not improve the recovery rate of glycine.

[0070] Step S1: Same as in Example 1.

[0071] Step S2: Same as in Example 1.

[0072] Step S3, about 6.5L of nanofiltration membrane permeate is added to the "dilute chamber" of the electrodialysis device, pure water is added to the "concentrate chamber", and the pole liquid (sulfuric acid solution with a mass fraction of 1%) is added to the "pole chamber", and then the circulation pump is turned on. The circulation flow rates of the concentrate and dilute chambers are both 300L / h, the circulation pressure is about 0.05MPa, and the pole liquid circulation flow rate is 35L / h. Then direct current is applied to the membrane assembly, and the applied current selects "steady flow" and circulates at 6A. During the circulation process, the solutions of the concentrate and dilute chambers are taken every ten minutes to detect chloride until the chloride content of the solution in the "dilute chamber" is ≤0.03%, and then the power is turned off and the circulation is stopped. The solution in the "light room" was taken out and the glycine content was detected to be about 10%; 7kg of the solution in the "light room" was evaporated and concentrated to 3kg, wherein glycine was about 700g, and the glycine content in the 3kg concentrated solution was about 23.33%, 316.44g of zinc oxide and 142.65g of zinc acetate were added to the concentrated solution, wherein the content of each component was 20.24% of glycine, 9.15% of zinc oxide, and 4.12% of zinc acetate; then, after heating and refluxing at 90°C for 2 hours, 480.66g of solid was obtained by hot filtration, and the glycine zinc content was detected to be 93.21%, and then the residual filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and its content was detected to be 81.55g of glycine zinc weight, and the calculated final yield was 53.17%; in low-concentration glycine-containing wastewater, no additional heating and extended reaction time were required, and the quality index and yield of the obtained glycine zinc remained basically unchanged.
