Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical separation technology, and in particular to a centrifugal settling continuous sweating purification column and a purification method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The sweating purification column is a chemical purification equipment used for further purifying the molten crystals after crystallization by heat mass exchange to achieve high-purity product separation. The applicant has been committed to the research and development of continuous suspension melting crystallization process, and first provided the concept of sweating tower in Chinese patent CN202111514595.9, which disclosed the structure and working principle of the solid-liquid countercurrent heat mass exchange purification tower. In order to further optimize the mass transfer effect in the sweating tower, improve the separation efficiency of the equipment, and avoid problems such as liquid short circuit, channeling, back mixing, and solid phase coalescence, the applicant disclosed a solid-liquid countercurrent heat mass exchange purification tower and a purification method in Chinese patent CN202311259710.1. The purification tower is divided into a bottom melting section, a main body countercurrent heat mass exchange section, and a top overflow section. The crystals form a crystal bed layer at the bottom of the tower under the action of gravity after entering the purification tower, and the liquid phase forms a clear zone at the top of the tower. A heating jacket is provided at the bottom of the tower to melt the crystals into molten liquid by inputting heat, and the proportion of the product outlet taken out is controlled to make part of the molten liquid flow upward along the body of the sweating purification tower, and the crystals move downward along the body of the sweating purification tower. Due to the temperature and concentration difference between the molten liquid and the crystals, heat mass exchange occurs continuously when the two flow in opposite directions, resulting in continuous purification of the crystals during their downward movement along the body of the sweating purification tower, and finally reaching the product purity requirement at the bottom of the tower. However, the technical solution in patent CN202311259710.1 only relies on gravity settling to achieve solid-liquid separation and establish a crystal bed layer, and when the solid-liquid density difference of the crystal slurry is small, the crystal morphology is poor, and the settling rate is slow, the separation and purification efficiency decreases.

[0012] This invention also provides a purification method, comprising the following steps: injecting the crystal slurry obtained by suspension crystallization into the cavity I of the screw conveyor in the centrifugal settling section through the feed inlet; under the action of centrifugal force, the crystal slurry enters the cavity II between the inner wall of the drum and the outer wall of the screw conveyor through the distribution port; the crystal slurry undergoes solid-liquid separation in the drum due to centrifugal force, wherein the solid phase forms a crystal layer along the inner wall of the drum, the liquid phase is located on the surface of the crystal layer, and overflows from the top of the drum along the spiral flow channel into the cavity III of the centrifugal settling section, and is discharged through the mother liquor outlet; the crystal layer on the inner wall of the drum is pushed downward by the spiral flow channel of the screw conveyor.

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 As shown, a centrifugal sedimentation continuous diaphoretic purification tower is improved in that it includes a diaphoretic purification tower body, which comprises a centrifugal sedimentation section 1, a purification section 2, and a melting section 3. The centrifugal sedimentation section 1 is located at the uppermost end of the diaphoretic purification tower body. A rotating drum 5 is installed inside the centrifugal sedimentation section 1, and a screw conveyor 6 is installed inside the rotating drum 5. The rotating drum 5 and the screw conveyor 6 rotate at different speeds. A feed inlet 4 is located at the center of the top of the centrifugal sedimentation section 1. The lower end of the feed inlet 4 extends into the cavity I inside the screw conveyor 6 and communicates with the cavity I of the screw conveyor 6. Several distribution ports 7 are provided on the cavity wall of the cavity I of the screw conveyor 6. The distribution ports 7 allow the screw conveyor to... The cavity I of the conveyor 6 is connected to the cavity II of the drum 5. The lower end of the drum 5 is provided with a solid phase outlet. The top of the drum 5 is open and connected to the cavity III of the centrifugal sedimentation section 1. The bottom end of the shell of the centrifugal sedimentation section 1 is provided with a mother liquor outlet 8. The purification section 2 is located below the centrifugal sedimentation section 1. The solid phase outlet is connected to the purification section 2. The melting section 3 is located below the purification section 2. The diaphoretic purification tower body is provided with a stirring shaft 9. The stirring shaft 9 passes through the purification section 2 and the melting section 3. The stirring shaft 9 is provided with a stirring paddle. The bottom of the melting section 3 is provided with a heating device 10. The bottom of the melting section 3 is provided with a product outlet 12.
[0022] In this embodiment, when the sweating purification tower is working, the crystal slurry obtained by suspension crystallization is injected into the cavity I of the screw conveyor 6 in the centrifugal settling section 1 through the feed inlet 4. The screw conveyor 6 rotates around its central axis at a set speed. Under the action of centrifugal force, the crystal slurry enters the cavity II between the inner wall of the drum 5 and the outer wall of the screw conveyor 6 through the distribution port 7. The drum 5 rotates around its central axis at a set speed. The crystal slurry undergoes solid-liquid separation in the cavity II due to centrifugal force. The solid phase forms a crystal layer along the inner wall of the drum 5, and the liquid phase is located on the surface of the crystal layer and overflows from the top of the drum 5 along the spiral flow channel into the cavity III of the centrifugal settling section 1, and is discharged through the mother liquor outlet 8. Since the drum 5 and the screw conveyor 6 rotate at different speeds, the crystal layer in the cavity II is pushed downward to the solid phase outlet by the spiral flow channel of the screw conveyor 6. Then, the crystals enter the purification section 2 and the melting section 3, where a continuous and stable crystal bed is established. The rotating screw conveyor 6 continuously provides downward pressure to the crystal bed, resulting in a more suitable density and higher product purity. The crystal bed melts at the bottom of the tower under the action of the heating device 10 in the melting section 3. The output of the product outlet 12 is controlled to be less than the amount of molten liquid, causing the molten liquid in the melting section 3 to flow upwards under the pressure of the crystal bed. A temperature and concentration difference exists between the upward-flowing molten liquid and the downward-moving crystals, resulting in continuous reverse heat and mass exchange between the crystals and the molten liquid. The rising molten liquid recrystallizes on the crystal surface due to the heat transfer from the falling crystals. As the crystals move downwards along the main body of the evaporation purification tower, they are continuously purified, ultimately meeting the product purity requirements.
[0023] Furthermore, the edge of the spiral channel of the spiral conveyor 6 is adjacent to the inner wall of the drum 5.
[0024] Furthermore, the drum 5 is generally conical, or has a cylindrical upper part and a conical lower part, and the screw conveyor 6 is matched with the drum 5.
[0025] Furthermore, the spiral belt of the spiral conveyor 6 is a variable pitch spiral.
[0026] Furthermore, the pitch of the spiral belt of the spiral conveyor 6 gradually decreases from top to bottom.
[0027] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the inner wall of the purification section 2 at the position between the stirring paddles of adjacent layers.
[0028] Furthermore, the baffle is a conical ring structure with a cone-shaped cross-section. The connection between the baffle and the inner wall of the purification section 2 is the bottom of the cone, and the top of the cone points to the axis of the purification section 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the cone apex angle of the baffle is 60°~120°.
[0030] Furthermore, the purification section 2 is equipped with several temperature control units to control the temperature of different parts of the purification section 2.
[0031] Furthermore, the temperature controlled by the temperature control unit gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0032] In this embodiment, the combined action of the temperature control unit, heating device, rotating drum and screw conveyor establishes a stable concentration and temperature gradient within the sweating purification tower, providing multiple theoretical equilibrium stages within a single device, resulting in better purification effect.
[0033] Example 2: An improvement to a purification method using a centrifugal sedimentation continuous sweating purification tower as described in Example 1 includes the following steps: The crystal slurry obtained through suspension crystallization is injected through inlet 4 into cavity I of the screw conveyor 6 within the centrifugal sedimentation section 1; under centrifugal force, the slurry enters cavity II between the inner wall of the drum 5 and the outer wall of the screw conveyor 6 through outlet 7; the slurry undergoes solid-liquid separation within the drum 5 due to centrifugal force, wherein the solid phase forms a crystal layer along the inner wall of the drum 5, the liquid phase is located on the surface of the crystal layer, and overflows from the top of the drum 5 along the spiral flow channel into cavity III of the centrifugal sedimentation section 1, and is discharged through mother liquor outlet 8; the crystals on the inner wall of the drum 5... The crystal bed is pushed downwards by the spiral channel of the screw conveyor 6 to the solid phase outlet, and then enters the purification section 2 and the melting section 3, where a continuous and stable crystal bed is established. As the screw conveyor 6 rotates and pushes, it continuously provides a certain downward pressure to the crystal bed. The crystal bed melts at the bottom of the tower under the action of the heating device 10 in the melting section 3. The output of the product outlet 12 is controlled to be less than the amount of molten liquid, so that the molten liquid in the melting section 3 flows upwards under the pressure of the crystal bed. The upward-flowing molten liquid undergoes a reverse heat and mass exchange with the downward-moving crystals, so that the crystals are continuously purified as they move downwards along the body of the sweating purification tower, and finally meet the product purity requirements.
[0034] Furthermore, the residence time of the material in the sweating purification tower body is adjusted by adjusting the feed rate at the feed inlet 4 and the power of the heating device 10, and the reflux ratio of the molten liquid in the sweating purification tower body is adjusted by adjusting the output rate at the product outlet 12, thereby adjusting the purification efficiency of the sweating purification tower body.
[0035] Example 3: Based on Example 1 or 2, crude ethylene carbonate was prepared via the ethylene oxide method. Separation and purification were achieved using continuous suspension melt crystallization, with a reaction tower output concentration of approximately 80%. After crystallization, a slurry with a suspension density of approximately 20% was formed. The slurry was further separated and purified using the sweating purification tower body of this invention. The time from start-up to product quality stabilization was shortened by approximately 4 hours compared to Example 1 of CN202311259710.1, the equipment holding volume was reduced by approximately 25%, and the purity of the extracted product was approximately 99.9983%.
[0036] Example 4: Based on Example 1 or 2, isomers of dichlorotoluene were separated. 2,4-Dichlorotoluene and 2,6-Dichlorotoluene are two isomers of dichlorotoluene with a boiling point difference of less than 1°C, making them difficult to separate using conventional distillation methods. Adsorption separation is energy-intensive, while melt crystallization is a more suitable method for separating and purifying dichlorotoluene isomers. However, since the solid-liquid equilibrium phase diagrams of 2,4-dichlorotoluene and 2,6-dichlorotoluene are eutectic solutions, obtaining high-purity 2,4-dichlorotoluene often requires multi-stage recrystallization. For example, using a 90% 2,4-dichlorotoluene mixture as raw material for separation and purification, using a centrifuge for solid-liquid separation, combined with a crystal washing process, four stages of crystallization are required to obtain a product with a purity of over 99.5%. Furthermore, by controlling the crystallization temperature and the amount of mother liquor and product return, the crystal slurry suspension density is maintained at approximately 40%, and the slurry is further purified using the sweating purification tower body provided by this invention. Purification section 2 is equipped with three temperature control units, which control the temperature of the units from top to bottom at -18℃, -16℃, and -14℃, respectively, and control the temperature of heating device 10 to be higher than the melting point of 2,4-dichlorotoluene. After 48 hours of continuous and stable operation, product samples were taken for analysis, and the purity was 99.92%.
