Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a recovery and processing system, in particular to a DMF hydrochloride recovery and processing system, belonging to the technical field of chemical equipment. Background Art
[0002] DMF is known as the "universal solvent" in the chemical industry because of its special physical and chemical properties - it can dissolve both organic matter and inorganic matter. At the same time, the compound can also be used as a catalyst in chemical reactions, or as a proton donor in some synthetic reactions. DMF can exist stably under normal temperature and pressure conditions, but when it is close to its boiling point (153°C), a deglycosylation reaction will occur, and it will decompose into formic acid and dimethylamine salt, or carbon monoxide and dimethylamine salt under the action of acid. The reaction formula is as follows. In the industrial production process, due to production needs, an acidic DMF solution formed by DMF and acid may be produced, such as a DMF hydrochloride solution formed by DMF and hydrochloric acid. When DMF is acidic, there will be a problem of DMF decomposition when it is recovered by high-temperature distillation. Therefore, when distilling and purifying such acidic DMF solutions, it is usually necessary to carry out the operation under reduced pressure and low temperature.
[0003]
[0004]
[0005] The main method for recovering DMF in the current industrial production process is distillation. During the distillation process, the product concentration gradually increases, and the recovery rate is low, resulting in high energy consumption and large investment costs. In the recovery device for removing formic acid in the CN107721870A patent, equipment such as a deacidification tower, a formic acid stripping tower, a condenser and a deliquescence tank are used. The system needs to raise the system temperature to 145-165°C, and the energy consumption is relatively high. CN214571625U recovers DMF through a multi-stage separator. Researchers use organic amines such as tertiary amines and tertiary amides to extract acids, or use entrainers such as tetrachloroethylene or toluene to remove acids from acid-containing DMF by azeotropic distillation deacidification. However, these processes require the introduction of foreign components such as extractants and entrainers, which affect the DMF content and reuse, and the carboxylic acid after removal still needs to be neutralized by alkali, and waste salt solid slag will still be produced. Zheng Huidong et al. proposed an innovative new process for deacidification of acid-containing DMF in "Comprehensive Utilization of Acid-containing DMF Solution [J]. Fine Chemicals, 2019, 36(12): 2457-2461". Dimethylamine was introduced into the acid-containing DMF system, and another industrial solvent N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was converted through salt formation between dimethylamine and carboxylic acid. However, the reaction raw material dimethylamine gas is volatile, difficult to preserve, and has a high price cost. Utility Model Content
