[0002] N-Methylpyrrolidone, or NMP, is an important chemical raw material. It is a polar solvent with strong selectivity and good stability. It is also a commonly used solvent in the production process of lithium batteries. In the production process of lithium batteries, NMP is often used as a solvent when making positive and negative electrode materials and lithium battery separators. However, when preparing electrode materials, some heavy impurities, metal ions, free amines, etc. will be brought out with the evaporation of the solvent. The purity of the recovered NMP is very low. There are impurities such as absorbent, heavy impurities, metal ions, free amines, etc. in the absorption liquid, so the recovered NMP cannot be directly reused as a solvent.

[0003] A distillation tower is usually used to separate and purify NMP. Existing distillation towers mostly use steam heating to heat the liquid in the tower to achieve distillation. However, the steam is simply condensed through a condenser, and the heat dissipation is slow, which affects the distillation efficiency. Utility Model Content
