Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of food-grade phosphoric acid production, more particularly, it relates to a recycling method of TBP complexing extractant for food-grade phosphoric acid produced by hydrochloric acid method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Phosphoric acid is an important chemical raw material, which is widely used in fertilizer industry, food industry, water treatment industry, electronic industry, coating industry and many other fields. Food-grade phosphoric acid is also a cheap acidulant, which is widely used as food additive in the production process of dairy products, meat products, aquatic products and various beverages. The demand for food-grade phosphoric acid is very large at home and abroad, but the preparation method has been relatively backward.
[0003] In the process of producing food-grade phosphoric acid by hydrochloric acid method, the complexing extractant composed of phosphoric acid tributyl ester (TBP) and kerosene is widely used due to its good extraction selectivity and stability. However, during long-term continuous operation, the TBP complexing extractant will degrade to generate by-products, which will cause the color of the extractant to deepen and the extraction rate to decrease significantly.
[0004] At present, the regeneration methods of TBP complexing extractant in industry mainly include water washing method, adsorption method and distillation method. However, the water washing method only uses process water or desalted water to wash the organic phase, which can remove part of water-soluble impurities, but the removal effect of TBP degradation products is limited, and the recovery of extraction rate is insufficient; the adsorption method uses activated carbon or silica gel to adsorb impurities, but the adsorbent is easy to saturate, needs to be replaced frequently, and cannot repair the degraded TBP molecules; the distillation method recovers TBP by high-temperature distillation, but the energy consumption is high.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an efficient and low-cost regeneration method of TBP complexing extractant for the industrialized continuous production of food-grade phosphoric acid by hydrochloric acid method. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to develop an efficient and low-cost regeneration method of TBP complexing extractant.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the application, the following technical solutions are adopted in the present application:
[0008] The present application discloses a recycling method of TBP complexing extractant for food-grade phosphoric acid produced by hydrochloric acid method, which comprises the following steps:
[0009] Step 1, using NaOH solution to alkali wash the recycled TBP complexing extractant, 1~4 stage countercurrent washing, removing degradation products and impurities in the organic phase;
[0010] Step 2, using process water or desalted water to wash the organic phase after alkaline washing, 1-4 stages of countercurrent washing until the organic phase is neutral;
[0011] Step 3, using hydrochloric acid to acidify the organic phase after water washing to restore the extraction performance;
[0012] Step 4, the acidified organic phase is reused in the production process of food-grade phosphoric acid by hydrochloric acid method.
[0013] Further, in step 1, the reused TBP complexing extractant is washed with 4-10% NaOH solution.
[0014] Further, in step 1, the volume ratio of NaOH solution to organic phase is (0.5-2):1.
[0015] Further, in step 1, the washing temperature is 20-50°C and the washing time is 30-60 minutes.
[0016] Further, in step 2, the volume ratio of process water or desalted water to organic phase is (0.5-2):1.
[0017] Further, in step 2, the water washing temperature is 20-50°C and the washing time is 30-60 minutes.
[0018] Further, in steps 1 and 2, 2 stages of countercurrent washing are used in the washing process.
[0019] Further, in step 3, 4 mol / L hydrochloric acid is used to acidify the organic phase after water washing.
[0020] Further, in step 3, the amount of hydrochloric acid used is 30-100% of the volume of the organic phase and the acidification time is 20-40 minutes.
[0021] Further, in step 4, before reuse, a detection step is included, which is: taking the regenerated organic phase and mixing it with a solution containing phosphoric acid at a volume ratio of (3-5):1 to determine the secondary countercurrent extraction rate of phosphoric acid. If the extraction rate is ≥75%, it is determined to be qualified, and unqualified products are reprocessed from step 1 to step 3.
[0022] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] TBP complexing extractant will darken in color and the extraction rate will decrease significantly over time. In production, the organic phase is washed with 4-10% NaOH solution, 1-4 stages of countercurrent washing, and the washed organic phase is reused and washed with process water or desalted water, 1-4 stages of countercurrent washing. The color of the organic phase becomes clear, and the washed organic phase can achieve extraction effect after acidification with 2-4 mol / L hydrochloric acid.
[0024] The recycling method of the application significantly improves the regeneration efficiency of the TBP complexing extractant, and is conducive to reducing the production cost of food-grade phosphoric acid by hydrochloric acid method, and has important significance for the industrialized continuous production of food-grade phosphoric acid by hydrochloric acid method.

[0158] Performance test
[0159] The recycling method of the above examples 1-16 and comparative examples 1-3 is tested, and the extraction rate of the regenerated TBP complex extractant is tested, and the method is as follows:
[0160] Take 50 mL of simulated solution (containing H3PO4 20wt%, HCl 5wt%, simulating the iron removal dilute phosphoric acid in the production of hydrochloric acid method phosphoric acid) and 50 mL of regenerated TBP complex extractant (1:1) into a separatory funnel, and place it in a constant temperature water bath oscillator, oscillate at 25°C for 10 minutes. Stand for 10 minutes, separate the aqueous phase (raffinate) and organic phase.
[0161] Take 10 mL of raffinate, add 50 mL of deionized water, and add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator.
[0162] Titrate with 0.1 mol / L NaOH standard solution to pink end point (pH about 8.3), record the volume of NaOH consumed (V1).
[0163] The phosphoric acid concentration of the original simulated solution is determined by the same method (the volume of NaOH consumed V0).
[0164] Calculate the extraction rate:
[0165] Extraction rate (%) = (1-V0 / V1)*100%.
[0166] The results are shown in the following table:
[0167] Extraction rate Control group (TBP compound extractant without regeneration) 56.5 Blank group (TBP compound extractant is not used) 83.3 Example 1 82.1 Example 2 82.4 Example 3 82.3 Example 4 82.2 Example 5 82.2 Example 6 82.2 Example 7 82.3 Example 8 82.2 Example 9 82.4 Example 10 82.4 Example 11 82.5 Example 12 82.3 Example 13 82.4 Example 14 82.7 Example 15 82.2 Example 16 82.0 Comparative Example 1 64.5 Comparative Example 2 76.1 Comparative Example 3 75.7
[0168] From the above table data, it can be seen that the color of the TBP complex extractant deepens after a long time, and the extraction rate decreases significantly. In production, the organic phase is washed with 4%-10% NaOH solution, 1-4 stage countercurrent washing, and the organic phase is recycled after washing. The color of the organic phase is clear, and the organic phase after washing is acidified with 2-4 mol / L hydrochloric acid to achieve the extraction effect. The recycling method of the present application significantly improves the regeneration efficiency of the TBP complex extractant, and is conducive to reducing the production cost of hydrochloric acid method food-grade phosphoric acid. It has important significance for the industrialization and continuous production of hydrochloric acid method food-grade phosphoric acid.
