Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial wastewater technology, and in particular to a method for producing amino water-reducing agents using triclosan etherification wastewater extract. Background Technology
[0002] Triclosan is a safe, highly effective, and broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. In existing mature industrial production processes, the main domestic and international processes involve using 2,5-dichloronitrobenzene and 2,4-dichlorophenol as raw materials, reacting them via the Williamson reaction to form ethers, followed by nitro reduction, diazotization, hydrolysis, and purification to obtain the target product, triclosan. However, the etherification reaction requires harsh conditions, involves numerous side reactions, and generates highly concentrated phenol-containing wastewater with complex components. The main components include the raw materials 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,5-dichloronitrobenzene, and byproducts such as 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol and 2,2',4-trichloro-2'-nitrodiphenyl ether. This wastewater is characterized by high COD concentration, difficulty in degradation, high toxicity, severe environmental pollution, and complex and difficult treatment processes.
[0003] Existing technologies disclose methods for treating triclosan etherification wastewater. In this method, a mixed extractant is added to the etherification wastewater, the pH is adjusted, and the mixture is stirred for extraction. The wastewater is further treated before discharge. The organic phase is back-extracted, the extractant is recycled, and the extract is reused in the etherification reaction. However, the organic matter recovered through extraction has a high impurity content, complex composition, and is difficult to separate. Therefore, the recovered material is not suitable for reuse as a raw material for triclosan etherification. Even with complex distillation processes, only the effective components can be utilized in the production process, while other impurities still need to be discharged. Reusing it in the triclosan etherification production process will significantly impact the quality of subsequent products, resulting in high costs for etherification wastewater recycling. Therefore, to address these issues, it is necessary to develop a method for producing amino water-reducing agents using extracts from triclosan etherification wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for producing amino water-reducing agents using triclosan etherification wastewater extract, which effectively recycles and utilizes etherification wastewater and increases the economic benefits of enterprises by obtaining amino water-reducing agents.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for producing an amino water-reducing agent using triclosan etherification wastewater extract, the method comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) Take the collected triclosan etherification wastewater, adjust the pH to acidic, stir, let it stand and separate into layers, and collect the upper layer extract and the lower layer wastewater for later use.
[0008] (2) Take the lower layer wastewater mentioned in step (1), add extractant, stir, let stand and separate into layers, collect the lower layer potassium chloride solution, concentrate and crystallize to obtain potassium chloride product, and collect the condensate collected during the concentration of the potassium chloride solution for later use; add sodium hydroxide solution to the collected upper layer extract to adjust the pH, collect the back extract for later use, and collect the extractant for recycling.
[0009] (3) Take the condensate from step (2), add tap water, phenol, sodium p-aminobenzenesulfonate, the upper extract from step (1) and the back extract from step (2), stir, adjust the pH to alkaline, heat to the reaction temperature and add formaldehyde dropwise, continue to raise the temperature after the formaldehyde dropwise addition is completed, keep the temperature for a period of time and then lower the temperature, adjust the pH to no more than 8.5, add water to adjust the solid content, and you can get an amino water-reducing agent with a water reduction rate of not less than 25%.
[0010] As an improved technical solution, in step (1), hydrochloric acid is used to adjust the pH to 2-3, the stirring time is 20-40 min, and the standing time is 1-2 h.
[0011] As an improved technical solution, the extractant in step (2) is a non-polar solvent that is insoluble in water. The extractant includes benzene, toluene or xylene, and the extractant is mixed with the lower wastewater in a volume ratio of 1:3-4.
[0012] As an improved technical solution, the upper extract collected in step (2) is added to sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to 14.
[0013] As an improved technical solution, in step (3), 32wt% liquid alkali is used to adjust the pH to 9-11 and the mixture is heated to a reaction temperature of 80-85℃.
[0014] As an improved technical solution, after the formaldehyde is added in step (3), the temperature is raised to 90-98℃, kept warm for 5-7 hours, and then cooled to 50-60℃, and the pH is adjusted to 7-8.5.
[0015] As an improved technical solution, water is added in step (3) to adjust the solid content to 35%-40%.
[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] This invention provides a method for the resource utilization of triclosan etherification wastewater. In practice, the triclosan etherification wastewater is pretreated by acidification, causing most of the phenolic substances in the water to precipitate out and most of the organic matter to be separated, reducing the extraction pressure. The wastewater containing trace amounts of organic matter is further extracted with an extractant—back-extraction separation. The organic matter is used in the production of aminosulfonate water-reducing agents. Subsequently, the aqueous phase is adjusted to neutral with potassium hydroxide, concentrated, and crystallized to recover high-quality potassium chloride. The condensate is reused in the process water for triclosan etherification production or amino water-reducing agent preparation. This invention opens up a new way for the treatment and neutralization of triclosan etherification wastewater. Through this method, zero discharge of triclosan etherification wastewater is achieved, effectively improving the current pollution status of this type of phenol-containing wastewater. It not only protects the environment but also enables the comprehensive utilization of triclosan etherification wastewater, resulting in good economic and environmental benefits.
[0018] The method of this invention achieves a good integration of organic matter and the production process of amino water-reducing agents. The performance indicators of the amino water-reducing agent prepared using this invention all meet the performance and quality requirements of products produced using conventional processes. Furthermore, this method not only fully utilizes the organic matter in the waste liquid but also completely recovers and reuses the inorganic salt potassium chloride, aligning with the development requirements and trends of green chemistry.
