The alkali solution is configured with industrial salt and solid alkali in a certain proportion, avoiding the emulsification of the oil phase and the problem of complicated product post-processing process. After the pH value of the material is neutral or weakly alkaline, the lower aqueous phase material enters the scraper filter 5 to filter out the undissolved inorganic salts contained in the aqueous phase; the liquid coming out of the scraper filter 5 enters the alkali recovery tank 4, which is connected to the inlet of the phase separation kettle 2, realizing the recycling of the alkali solution; the upper oil phase enters the scraper filter 5 to filter out the undissolved alkali in the oil phase; the scraper filter is provided with a backwashing pipeline, which has high stability and is easy to clean; the oil phase enters the distillation tower 6 after passing through the scraper filter 5 to recover the solvent benzene; the distillation tower bottom liquid enters the rectification tower 7, which is equipped with a nitrogen pipeline, and the stability of the negative pressure operation is guaranteed by fine-tuning the nitrogen valve.
