Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glycine processing, and in particular to a device for recovering glycine centrifugal mother liquor. Background Art
[0002] Glycine, also known as aminoacetic acid, is an important chemical intermediate. Its consumption in various fields is ranked from high to low, in the order of pesticides, food, feed, and medicine. In my country, about 80% of glycine is used to produce the herbicide glyphosate. At present, the domestic production of glycine still adopts the mainstream chloroacetic acid ammonolysis method: first synthesize a mixed solution of glycine and ammonium chloride in water, then use a large amount of methanol to extract and separate glycine, produce a large amount of methanol mother liquor, and then use a single-effect atmospheric pressure methanol distillation tower to recover the methanol in the mother liquor. In the process of extracting glycine, it is preliminarily estimated that 8-10m3 of methanol needs to be added to produce 1 ton of glycine. 3 Methanol, producing 12-12.5m 3 The methanol mother liquor has a complex composition. The components of the methanol mother liquor are: 68.5-70% methanol, 7% ammonium chloride, 1.3% hexamethylenetetramine, 1.5% glycine, 20-23% water, and 2.2% other organic matter. Based on the scale of 100,000 tons of glycine per year, 3600-4000m3 of methanol needs to be processed per day. 3 The methanol mother liquor is processed by a single-effect atmospheric distillation tower. At present, most glycine companies use a single-effect atmospheric distillation tower to process the methanol mother liquor. The steam consumption is large, and the methanol secondary steam is not fully utilized. It is preliminarily estimated that 0.4-0.42 tons of low-pressure steam is required to process each cubic meter of methanol. In the glycine production, the methanol recovery process requires 5-5.2 tons of low-pressure steam, which consumes a lot of energy.
[0003] In recent years, glycine companies have been competing to develop new process technologies for non-extraction production of glycine to significantly reduce energy consumption. For companies that already have a considerable scale of extraction production of glycine, it is difficult to completely abandon the single-effect atmospheric distillation process and equipment. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out technological innovation and upgrading of existing production technologies to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0004] In order to improve the processing capacity, some existing technologies have begun to use multi-effect distillation towers to treat methanol mother liquor, such as a method and device for recovering methanol in industrial-grade glycine production with application number CN202210422029.3, which discloses a methanol recovery device in industrial-grade glycine production, including a preheater, which is connected to a vacuum distillation tower; the top of the vacuum distillation tower is connected to a vacuum tower top condenser, which is connected to a vacuum tower top reflux tank, and the vacuum tower top reflux tank is connected to the vacuum tower top, the product reflux tank and the vacuum tower top reflux pump. tank; the bottom of the vacuum distillation tower is connected to the pressurized distillation tower via the vacuum distillation tower extraction pump; the pressurized distillation tower is connected to the vacuum distillation tower via the vacuum distillation tower reboiler; the vacuum distillation tower reboiler is connected to the pressurized tower reflux tank via the pressurized tower post condenser; the pressurized tower reflux tank is respectively connected to the pressurized distillation tower and the finished product tank via the pressurized tower reflux pump; this application mainly utilizes the double-effect distillation technology to effectively reduce the steam consumption in the methanol recovery process, through the coupling design of the pressure and processing capacity of the two distillation towers, the steam at the top of the pressurized tower is used to provide heat for the low-pressure tower, and finally the methanol recovery is realized.
[0005] Although the application designs two distillation towers to increase the processing capacity, the application does not fully utilize the heat at the top of the tower and does not exchange heat with the preheater. In addition, a condenser is set on each tower in the application, which increases the complexity of the equipment and increases the manufacturing cost of the equipment. Moreover, the application uses a vacuum unit, which is prone to leakage, thereby affecting the recovery of methanol in glycine production.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
