[0002] The medical, pesticide and chemical industries often have separation of solvents and products or separation of compounds with different boiling points. The traditional method is to use a kettle type batch distillation, which has high energy consumption, low efficiency and is prone to decomposition of heat-sensitive compounds. The method of the present application can continuously and efficiently separate mixtures with different boiling points, and is suitable for separation of heat-sensitive compounds, and is particularly suitable for continuous flow manufacturing.

[0004] The continuous distillation device provided by the present application is also called a continuous distillation kettle. The overall device is in the shape of a cylinder, and the inside is a sandwich structure, that is, the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7 are nested, and the sandwich channel 8 is between the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 7. The inner cylinder is provided with a stirring paddle 9 in the middle, and the outer side of the stirring paddle blade is tightly attached to the inner wall of the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder is provided with a feed inlet 1 corresponding to the top position of the stirring paddle, a low-boiling-point compound discharge outlet 2 corresponding to the position above the top of the stirring paddle, and a high-boiling-point compound discharge outlet 3 at the bottom of the inner cylinder. The jacket inlet 4 is provided at the side of the bottom of the sandwich channel 8, and the jacket outlet 5 is provided at the side of the upper part of the sandwich channel.
[0005] The stirring paddle is driven by a motor and the rotating speed is controlled. Within a certain rotating speed range, as the rotating speed increases, the liquid is scraped off along the inner wall of the inner cylinder 7 through the outer side of the stirring paddle blade to form a liquid film, so as to improve the specific surface area of the liquid under heating, thereby improving the distillation efficiency. The preferred rotating speed is 200-600 rpm / min.
[0006] The inner cylinder is used for flowing of the solution to be distilled, and the sandwich channel can be connected to a water bath or an oil bath to control the distillation temperature of the inner cylinder.
[0007] The device is connected to a condenser and a low-boiling-point solvent collection tank outside the discharge outlet 2. The inlet of the condenser is connected to the discharge outlet 2 of the device, the outlet of the condenser is connected to the collection tank, and a vacuum degree control valve is connected above the collection tank.
[0008] The vacuum degree of the system of the device is controlled by the vacuum degree valve on the collection tank, and the preferred vacuum degree is 20-1000 mbar.
