Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wastewater treatment technology, and in particular relates to a method and equipment for treating water used in bisphenol S production. Background Technology

[0002] In the treatment of bisphenol S wastewater, the bisphenol S reaction wastewater is added to an extraction tank. After settling and stratification, a stable aqueous and oil phase is obtained. The aqueous phase is then discharged from the bottom layer, while the oil phase is preserved for the bisphenol S synthesis reaction. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN117247183A discloses a method for treating bisphenol S reaction wastewater. This method involves adding the bisphenol S reaction wastewater to an extraction tank, adding mesitylene, and stirring at 40-60℃ for 2-4 hours. After settling and stratification, the aqueous phase is then discharged from the bottom layer, while the oil phase is preserved for the bisphenol S synthesis reaction. However, to ensure the purity of the oil phase, some additional oil phase is discharged in the relevant discharge methods to ensure that the emulsion layer between the oil and aqueous phases is also discharged. However, this discharge method relies on the operator's experience and is prone to problems of excessive or insufficient discharge.

[0003] Therefore, due to the technical problem of decreased oil phase purity caused by the inability to accurately drain water, it is necessary to design a water treatment method and equipment for bisphenol S production.

[0042] As used herein, the phrases “in one embodiment,” “according to one embodiment,” “in some embodiments,” etc., generally refer to the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase can be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

Rather, the use of the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., is intended to present concepts in a specific manner.

[0043] The inventors discovered that in the existing water phase discharge process, as the thickness of the water phase gradually decreases, the stability of the oil phase deteriorates, leading to discharge disturbances and interfering with the stability of the oil phase. This results in an increase in the thickness of the emulsion layer between the oil and water phases. Therefore, according to the observation standards before discharge, there may be problems with the emulsion layer not being completely discharged, or a portion of the oil phase may need to be discharged to avoid emulsion layer residue. This also leads to a reduction in the usable oil phase volume.

[0044] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0045] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0046] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one disclosed embodiment provides a method for treating water used in bisphenol S production, comprising: a control module adapted to acquire the thickness of the water layer, the oil layer, and the emulsion layer in an extraction tank, and then controlling a drainage and / or oil absorption strategy based on the water layer thickness and the oil layer thickness, i.e., when the water layer thickness is greater than the oil layer thickness, only drainage is performed until the water layer thickness reaches a safe threshold, and when the water layer thickness reaches the safe threshold, simultaneous drainage and oil absorption are started, and the drainage and oil absorption rates are adjusted in real time, thereby achieving the stability of the oil phase during the drainage process and avoiding the need to discharge a large amount of emulsion to maintain the purity of the oil phase during the drainage process.

[0048] In this embodiment, the thickness of the water layer, oil layer, and emulsion layer in the extraction tank can be directly obtained using a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar level gauge.

[0049] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the water layer 1, the emulsion layer 2, and the oil layer 3 in the extraction tank is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, oil layer 3 floats above water layer 1, and emulsion layer 2 is located between oil layer 3 and water layer 1.

[0050] In one optional implementation, the security threshold is: h a =α*h oil +β; where h aα is the safety threshold, in meters (m); α is the oil layer influence coefficient, determined experimentally, and can be 0.3 to 0.5; β is the basic safety margin, which can be 0.1 to 0.2 m, to prevent the safety threshold from being too low when the oil layer is too thin; h oil The initial oil layer thickness is expressed in meters (m).

[0051] In one optional embodiment, the control module is adapted to control the drainage mechanism to drain water at an initial drainage rate when the water layer thickness is greater than the oil layer thickness; wherein the initial drainage rate is:

[0052]

[0053] Among them, v max The initial drainage velocity, which can be detected by a flow velocity sensor, is expressed in m / s; We is the Weber number safety threshold, which can be taken as 0.8; σ is the oil-water interfacial tension, which is 0.018 N / m; ρ water h is the density of the aqueous phase. oil This represents the initial oil layer thickness.

[0054] In this embodiment, to stabilize the emulsion interface, it is necessary to control the shear effect at the interface. That is, when the Weber number safety threshold is less than 1, surface tension dominates, the interface is stable, and the fluid maintains stratification or droplet integrity. Therefore, the maximum value of the initial drainage rate is obtained by combining the Weber number safety threshold. When the water layer thickness is greater than the oil layer thickness, drainage is carried out by the initial drainage rate. At this time, the maximum initial drainage rate not only improves the drainage efficiency but also does not damage the stability of the emulsion interface. Therefore, taking into account both the drainage rate and the stability of the interface, the Weber number safety threshold is set to 0.8 in this embodiment.

[0055] In one optional implementation, the control module is adapted to adjust the drainage speed of the drainage mechanism in real time after the water layer thickness drops to a safe threshold, wherein the real-time drainage speed is:

[0056]

[0057] Among them, v s The real-time drainage speed can be detected using flow velocity sensors, etc., and the unit is m / s; g is the acceleration due to gravity; ρ water The density of the aqueous phase is 1050 kg / m³. 3 ;ρ oil The density of the oil phase is 920 kg / m³. 3 μ water The viscosity of the aqueous phase is expressed in Pa*s; h water The real-time water layer thickness is expressed in meters (m); h wmin The minimum preset water layer thickness is expressed in meters (m); h a This is the safety threshold, measured in meters (m).

[0058] In this embodiment, when the water layer thickness reaches the safety threshold, the water layer 1 is very thin and the water flow will have a carrying effect. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the drainage speed to avoid the carrying effect causing disturbance to the oil layer 3, and the drainage speed needs to be adjusted.

[0059] In one optional embodiment, the control module is adapted to adjust the oil suction speed of the oil suction mechanism in real time after the water layer thickness drops to a safe threshold, wherein the real-time oil suction speed is:

[0060]

[0061] Among them, v oil The real-time oil discharge rate can be detected using flow rate sensors, etc., and the unit is m / s; v s This represents the real-time drainage rate, measured in m / s; h s Real-time oil layer thickness, in meters (m); h water ρ represents the real-time water layer thickness in meters (m). water ρ is the density of the aqueous phase. oil ρ is the density of the oil phase.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the water layer thickness reaches the safety threshold, gravity infiltration of oil layer 3 begins. Therefore, it is necessary to start oil removal to avoid the impact of gravity infiltration of oil layer 3 on water layer 1. Furthermore, the formula corresponding to the oil removal rate depends on mass conservation and dynamic equilibrium to ensure that oil layer 3 is not excessively removed or accumulated.

[0063] In one optional implementation, the control module is adapted to stop draining and oil suction after the liquid thickness in the extraction tank reaches a preset ratio of the emulsion layer thickness, for example, when the liquid height in the extraction tank is 120% of the emulsion layer thickness, suction is stopped.

[0064] In this embodiment, the drainage mechanism can be a drainage pump, and the oil suction mechanism can be an oil suction pump.

[0065] Specifically, the initial oil layer thickness is 0.8m, the water layer thickness is 1m, the emulsion layer thickness is 0.2m, the oil layer influence coefficient is 0.4, and the basic safety margin is 0.15m. Therefore, the safety threshold is 0.4*0.8+0.15=0.47m. When the water layer thickness decreases to 0.47m, the drainage rate is adjusted, and oil absorption begins, with the oil absorption rate also adjusted. The Weber number safety threshold is 0.8, and the initial drainage rate is approximately 0.0046m / s. The oil droplet diameter is 50μm, the aqueous phase viscosity is 0.001Pa*s, and the real-time drainage rate is approximately 0.0019m / s. The real-time oil removal rate is approximately 0.0036m / s.

[0066] At least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a bisphenol S production water treatment system, comprising: a data acquisition module configured to acquire the thickness of the water layer, the oil layer, and the emulsion layer in an extraction tank; and a control module configured to control a drainage and / or oil absorption strategy based on the water layer thickness and the oil layer thickness.

[0067] At least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program / instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the above-described bisphenol S production water treatment method.

[0068] At least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a computer program product, including a computer program / instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described bisphenol S production water treatment method.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, at least one other disclosed embodiment also provides a bisphenol S production water treatment device, including: an extraction tank, a control module, and a sensor, a drainage mechanism, and an oil suction mechanism electrically connected to the control module; the sensor is disposed in the extraction tank, and the sensor is adapted to detect the thickness of the water layer, the thickness of the oil layer, and the thickness of the emulsion layer in the extraction tank; the drainage mechanism is disposed on the extraction tank; the oil suction mechanism is disposed on the extraction tank; the control module is configured to control the drainage mechanism to drain water and control the oil suction mechanism to suction oil using the above-described bisphenol S production water treatment method.

[0070] In this embodiment, corresponding flow rate sensors can be integrated into the drainage mechanism and the oil suction mechanism to precisely control the drainage speed and the oil suction speed through the control module.

[0071] In this embodiment, the sensors for detecting the thickness of the water layer, oil layer, and emulsion layer in the extraction tank include, but are not limited to, directly acquiring the thickness using a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar level gauge, or, but are not limited to, obtaining the thickness of the water layer, oil layer, and total liquid height separately using an electronic level gauge to derive the emulsion layer thickness. That is, the sensors are not limited to, being installed at the top of the extraction tank or in any other location that does not affect the drainage process.

[0072] In summary, this bisphenol S production water treatment method includes: a control module adapted to acquire the thickness of the water layer, oil layer, and emulsion layer in the extraction tank, and then controlling the drainage and / or oil absorption strategy based on the water layer thickness and oil layer thickness. That is, when the water layer thickness is greater than the oil layer thickness, only drainage is performed until the water layer thickness reaches a safe threshold. When the water layer thickness reaches the safe threshold, drainage and oil absorption are started simultaneously, and the drainage and oil absorption rates are adjusted in real time. This achieves the stability of the oil phase during the drainage process and avoids the need to discharge a large amount of emulsion to maintain the purity of the oil phase during the drainage process.

[0073] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
