Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to a liquid ammonia loading and unloading system, in particular to a liquid ammonia loading and unloading system in an indigo production process. Background technology:
[0002] At present, the method for making indigo is to first mix potassium (sodium) salt of anilinoacetic acid with sodium amide in an alkali melting kettle to react to obtain potassium (sodium) indoxyphenol, and then send it to an oxidation kettle and blow air into it for further oxidation to obtain dioxybisindoxyphenol (i.e. indigo); wherein the process for producing potassium (sodium) salt of anilinoacetic acid is to mix anilinoacetonitrile, liquid potassium hydroxide and mixed alkali solution (from the alkali recovery section) in a hydrolysis reactor and hydrolyze at room temperature. After the hydrolysis is completed, the ammonia waste gas generated by the hydrolysis is discharged by heating to 100°C with steam. The mother liquor in the hydrolysis reactor after ammonia discharge enters a central evaporator for concentration, and then enters a drum dryer for drying to obtain potassium (sodium) salt of anilinoacetic acid and send it to an alkali melting kettle; the process for producing sodium amide is to send the ammonia gas and metallic sodium after the liquid ammonia is vaporized by the evaporator to an amino pot for synthesis reaction, and the obtained sodium amide is pumped to the alkali melting kettle by a vacuum pump; hydrogen and ammonia waste gas are also generated during the synthesis reaction. Patent No. CN202022809961.0 discloses a patent for an indigo production ammonia recovery system, which discloses that the ammonia waste gas generated by the production of potassium (sodium) anilinoacetate and the ammonia waste gas brought out by the production of sodium amide are recovered to make liquid ammonia and stored in a liquid ammonia storage tank, which is subsequently used as a synthetic raw material for sodium amide, and the excess is sold as a liquid ammonia product. Therefore, liquid ammonia loading and unloading vehicles are often required. Currently, most liquid ammonia loading and unloading is carried out through liquid ammonia cylinders, that is, liquid ammonia loading and unloading is achieved through manual operation of the connection between the liquid ammonia cylinders and the liquid ammonia tank trucks and liquid ammonia storage tanks; there are safety hazards in the liquid ammonia cylinders' anti-collision, sun protection, bottle mouth connection, and filling volume control links.
