Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organosilicon production by-product treatment technology, specifically to a multi-stage separation method for oil in acid produced by the hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilane. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial process of producing polysiloxanes by hydrolysis of organosilicon monomers (dimethyldichlorosilane), a large amount of hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 20-35% is generated as a byproduct.
[0003] The by-product hydrochloric acid generally contains 0.5%-2% organic oil impurities, the main components of which are methylchlorosilane oligomers, cyclic / linear siloxanes, etc. These organic oils are stably dispersed in hydrochloric acid in the form of microemulsions or fine droplets, and are difficult to separate naturally.
[0004] Currently, the industry mainly uses traditional static separation or gravity sedimentation to separate organic oil from the by-product hydrochloric acid. These methods have extremely low separation efficiency, and the oil content in the hydrochloric acid after treatment is still as high as 0.3%-0.5%, far exceeding the standard requirements for high-quality industrial hydrochloric acid.
[0005] The high oil content means that the by-product hydrochloric acid cannot be used to produce high-purity hydrogen chloride or recycled in the chloromethane synthesis process, nor can it be sold for high-value utilization. Ultimately, it can only be treated as hazardous waste. This not only brings huge hazardous waste treatment costs, but also causes serious waste of hydrochloric acid resources. At the same time, it faces environmental emission pressure, and the residual organic oil can cause problems such as equipment blockage, pipeline corrosion, and catalyst pollution, posing significant safety risks.

[0020] Preferably, the hydrochloric acid pretreatment in S4 involves soaking in 10-15% hydrochloric acid for 24 hours followed by drying.
[0021] Preferably, S1-S4 further includes joint optimization through CFD fluid simulation and system orthogonal experiment, wherein the factors in the orthogonal experiment include static settling temperature, high shear speed, demulsifier addition amount, and ceramic membrane filtration pressure.
[0022] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:
