Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of diuron post-processing technology, and more specifically, to a process for solvent recovery during diuron drying. Background Technology
[0002] Diuron is a substituted urea broad-spectrum herbicide with high efficiency, long-lasting effect, and unique mechanism of action. Its trade name is Karmex, CAS Registry Number is 330-54-1, and its chemical name is N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea. Its chemical structural formula is shown below:
[0003]
[0004] Diuron, a herbicide widely used in dryland crops such as cotton, corn, soybeans, tea plantations, orchards, and rubber plantations, is a white crystalline solid in its pure form. The industrial grade has a melting point above 135℃ and a vapor pressure of 4.13 × 10⁻⁶ at 50℃. -4 Pa exhibits specific solubility characteristics: readily soluble in hot alcohol, with a solubility of 5.3% in acetone at 27°C, slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, ethanol, and hot benzene, but only 42 ppm in water at 25°C. This substance is stable in air and exhibits low hydrolysis at room temperature, but the hydrolysis rate accelerates significantly under heated and alkaline conditions, and decomposes at 189-190°C. These physicochemical properties impose strict requirements on the drying and solvent recovery processes in its production. Currently, diuron is synthesized industrially using 3,4-dichloroaniline as the starting material, with toluene as the main solvent. However, significant technical defects exist in the post-drying processing: on the one hand, the limited separation efficiency between toluene and diuron results in high solvent residue in the product, affecting product quality; on the other hand, traditional processes, such as flash drying, require operation at high temperatures of 120-150°C, which is close to the thermal decomposition threshold of diuron, severely restricting the market competitiveness of diuron products. Therefore, this invention provides a solvent recovery process for diuron drying to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a solvent recovery process for diuron drying. This process solves the problems of high energy consumption, high solvent residue, and high toluene consumption in existing diuron production due to the use of toluene as a solvent. It effectively reduces energy consumption and solvent consumption, minimizes solvent residue, achieves cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and enhances product competitiveness.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A process for solvent recovery during diuron drying includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. The wet material produced in the diuron synthesis process is subjected to solid-liquid separation at a pressure of 0.4-0.8 MPa to obtain diuron filter cake, which is then transferred to the feed hopper of a vacuum belt dryer via a closed conveying system.
[0009] S2. Spread the filter cake evenly on the conveyor belt of the vacuum belt dryer with a thickness of 5-15mm, maintain the vacuum degree of the drying chamber at -0.08 to -0.095MPa, control the material layer temperature at 45-52℃, and adjust the conveyor belt speed to 0.8-2.0m / min.
[0010] S3. Transfer the primary dried product obtained from S2 to a far-infrared radiation cavity with a wavelength of 2.5-15 μm and a radiation power density of 0.5-2.0 W / cm². 2 To ensure that the radiation penetration depth is ≥5.0cm, the internal temperature of the material is monitored and maintained at 45-50℃, and continuous irradiation is carried out for 15-20min. The resonance absorption effect of the CH bond in the diuron molecule on a specific wavelength is utilized to promote the diffusion of residual toluene molecules inside the crystal to the surface, while the surface solvent molecules are desorbed under the action of radiative heat.
[0011] S4. The toluene-containing vapor generated during the drying process is introduced into a two-stage condensation system. The first-stage condensation uses a refrigerant at -10 to 0°C, and the second-stage cryogenic condensation uses a cryogenic medium at -40.0 to -35.0°C. The uncondensed gas phase component is introduced into the modified activated carbon adsorption tower at an apparent gas velocity of 0.8-1.2 m / s. The particle size of the modified activated carbon ranges from 1.7 to 4.8 mm.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0029] 1. This invention achieves deep dehydration at temperatures far below the decomposition threshold of diuron through the synergistic effect of vacuum belt drying and far-infrared molecular resonance. The vacuum environment significantly lowers the azeotropic point of toluene and water, avoiding the risks of diuron molecular hydrolysis and lattice distortion caused by high temperatures. Far-infrared radiation precisely excites the vibrational resonance of the CH bonds in diuron molecules, promoting the directional migration of residual solvent from the crystal interior to the surface. Simultaneously, radiative heat energy is used to achieve instantaneous desorption of surface solvents. This dual drying mechanism completely solves the problems of solvent encapsulation effect and crystal structure damage caused by traditional high-temperature processes. In addition, a recovery path combining stepped condensation and deep adsorption is adopted to enhance the collection efficiency of gaseous solvents, significantly reducing the environmental escape and process loss of organic solvents. Furthermore, a dynamic control model is constructed based on deep learning algorithms, and through real-time collaborative optimization of multiple parameters, the drying process is precisely maintained within the thermally stable range, ensuring consistent product quality. This process reduces energy consumption per unit product while effectively controlling the residual solvent level in the final product, simultaneously improving solvent recycling rate and optimizing production and operating costs, significantly enhancing the product's market competitiveness.
[0030] 2. This invention prepares intermediates and functional additives from raw materials such as trimethylolpropane and polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether through reaction, and simultaneously synthesizes MOF materials. Coconut shell activated carbon is pretreated by sequential nitric acid oxidation and ammonia treatment, then loaded with functional additives and composited with MOF to obtain modified activated carbon. When this modified activated carbon is used as an adsorbent to treat uncondensed toluene gas phase components, it combines the chemical adsorption sites of the functional additives with the porous adsorption structure of MOF. Through the synergistic effect of physical and chemical adsorption, it enhances the capture capacity of toluene, effectively improving the adsorption efficiency of residual toluene in the exhaust gas, reducing solvent loss, and further increasing the toluene recovery rate. Simultaneously, its stable structural characteristics ensure long-term adsorption performance, reducing the frequency of adsorbent replacement, and forming a highly efficient solvent recovery closed loop with a two-stage condensation system.
