[0002] The production of persulfate (such as ammonium persulfate and sodium persulfate) is mostly carried out by electrolysis or oxidation, and the system temperature needs to be strictly controlled at-5-0 DEG C in the reaction process, so as to inhibit the side reactions (such as decomposition of persulfate and hydrolysis reaction under acidic conditions) and improve the yield of target products. As a core temperature control equipment, the salt water refrigerating unit system realizes indirect heat exchange and temperature control by passing the cooled calcium chloride / magnesium chloride brine, and the heat exchange efficiency, stability and anti-salting ability of the brine directly determine the production continuity.
[0003] The existing system adopts fixed-concentration (25%-30% calcium chloride) brine, but in fact, due to the problems of precipitation and brine leakage, the actual concentration of the flowing brine is not fixed but in a floating state; when the local temperature is lower than the freezing point of the brine (about-25 DEG C) in the refrigeration process, solid salt is easy to precipitate and adhere to the inner wall of the heat exchange pipe (the thickness can reach 2-3 mm), which leads to the decrease of the heat exchange coefficient and affects the finished product quality of the persulfate; and the acid washing needs to be stopped every month, which leads to the increase of cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] To illustrate the technical content of the present application, the purposes and effects achieved are described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A brine chiller unit system 2 for persulfate production is used for cooling of a persulfate production device 1, the persulfate production device 1 comprising a cooling inlet 11 and a cooling outlet 12; the brine chiller unit system 2 comprises a brine preparation module 21 and a heat exchange module 22; the brine preparation module 21 comprises a brine inlet 211 and a brine outlet 212; the heat exchange module 22 comprises a heat exchange pipe 221 and a circulating pump 222; the brine outlet 212 is communicated with the cooling inlet 11 through the heat exchange pipe 221, the cooling outlet 12 is communicated with the brine inlet 211 to form a circulation, and the circulating pump 222 is arranged on the heat exchange pipe 221;
[0027] The brine chiller unit system 2 further comprises a dynamic control module 23;
[0028] The brine preparation module 21 comprises a concentration sensor 213, which obtains real-time brine concentration C through the concentration sensor; the brine inlet 211 is provided with a temperature sensor 214 to obtain the temperature of the brine inlet 211 ;
[0029] The dynamic control module calculates the critical temperature of salting-out according to the real-time brine concentration C , = × + ×C+ ; calculates the salting-out safety threshold , =min , and ≤ , when Q=0, = ; calculates the optimal flow rate , = , wherein , , is the coefficient; T is the basic safety margin and is positive, Q is the heat load of the persulfate production device, is the optimal working temperature of the persulfate production device, is the minimum heat exchange difference; is the brine density, is the specific heat capacity of the brine, is the flow area of the heat exchange tube;
[0030] The dynamic control module 23 controls the temperature of the brine preparation module 21 output from the brine outlet 212 according to The dynamic control module 23 controls the temperature of the brine preparation module 21 output from the brine outlet 212 according to The dynamic control module 23 dynamically controls the rotating speed of the circulating pump 222.
[0031] As can be seen from the above description, by accurately calculating the salting-out critical temperature of the brine at the current concentration, the fixed concentration corresponding to the fixed freezing point in the prior art is overcome, and an accurate threshold is provided for subsequent salting-out warning. Then, the heat load dynamic correction safety threshold is integrated to realize linkage determination. Then, according to the actual load, the output temperature of the brine preparation module 21 is controlled to avoid the problems of brine preparation module 21 precipitation, freezing blockage, and insufficient low output temperature, while ensuring the operation, safety and meeting the heat load requirements of the brine preparation module 21. Finally, the optimal flow rate is derived in combination with the load to ensure the optimal flow rate and reduce power waste under the condition of avoiding salting-out. The basic safety margin is positive, which ensures that the system does not precipitate absolutely, even if the load is very low, but it is close to the critical temperature without salting-out. Through the dynamic control module 23, the power of the brine preparation module 21 and the circulating pump 222 are adjusted to meet the energy saving, avoid the decrease of the heat transfer coefficient, and prolong the pickling cycle of the brine freezing unit system 2 under the condition of ensuring no salting-out and meeting the production requirements. That is, the unity of salting-out safety, load matching, energy consumption optimization, and pickling cycle.
[0032] Further, the heat load curve of the persulfate production device 1 during production is established, the x-axis of the heat load curve is time, and the y-axis is the heat load Q;
[0033] After the dynamic control module 23 is aligned with the time of the heat load curve, the heat load Q on the x-axis is delayed by a predetermined time t as the input of , .
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, by using the heat load Q delayed by a predetermined time as the input of , , since it takes time for the heat exchange tube to transport cold brine to the persulfate production device, it has a lag, and then the Q delayed by a predetermined time is used as the current input, so that the temperature when the cold brine arrives is optimally matched with the power Q.
[0035] Further, the salt water specific heat capacity The calculation formula of t is: t= ; wherein L is the length of the heat exchange pipe.
[0036] Further, the salt water specific heat capacity t is a fixed value.
[0037] From the above description, by adopting a fixed value, for example, in the case of a relatively short heat exchange pipe, increasing additional variables will lead to an increase in system control difficulty, which is not worth the cost.
[0038] Further, the salt water specific heat capacity and the salt water density are obtained according to the C table.
[0039] From the above description, according to the table formed by the relationship of the real-time salt water concentration C, the salt water density , and the salt water specific heat capacity calibrated by the manufacturer, there is no need to calculate additionally, which ensures accuracy.
[0040] Further, when Q=0, the optimal flow rate is set according to the preset value.
[0041] From the above description, when Q=0, it may be in a just started state or a stopped state, i.e., the persulfate production device is in a stopped state, but the circulating pump cannot be immediately stopped, because even if the salt water preparation module is stopped, the inside may still be in a relatively low temperature condition, and if the circulating pump is immediately stopped, salt precipitation may occur, so the circulating pump needs to be continuously operated for a period of time before it can be stopped to avoid salt precipitation in the salt water preparation module.
[0042] Further, before the concentration sensor 213 initially acquires the real-time salt water concentration C, the circulating pump 222 operates according to a predetermined time.
[0043] From the above description, since the salt water may be stratified for a long time, in order to avoid stratification of the salt water leading to inaccurate detection of C, which in turn leads to large fluctuations in other values, the salt water concentration is further circulated to make the salt water concentration more uniform.
[0044] Further, if the concentration sensor 213 acquires a real-time salt water concentration C lower than a preset minimum concentration, the dynamic control module 23 prohibits the salt water preparation module 21 from starting.
[0045] From the above description, since the real-time salt water concentration C is lower than the preset minimum concentration, i.e., the salt water preparation module 21 is easily frozen and expanded, which easily leads to damage to the salt water preparation module 21, pipe rupture, and other problems.
[0046] Further, the salt water refrigeration unit system 2 of the present application is characterized in that The temperature of the salt water is -3℃; the temperature of the reaction system is -5~0℃, which is the intermediate value of the process requirement, and takes into account the reaction efficiency and the inhibition of side reactions, and provides a reference for the calculation of heat transfer temperature difference. The temperature of the salt water is 6℃.
[0047] From the above description, it can be seen that by The temperature of the salt water is -3℃, which is the intermediate value of -5~0℃ of the process requirement, and takes into account the reaction efficiency and the inhibition of side reactions, and provides a reference for the calculation of heat transfer temperature difference. The value of 6℃ ensures effective heat transfer between the salt water and the reaction system.
