[0015] The following is a detailed description of the invention of the utility model by way of examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Example
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a condensate recycling device for pyridine production, comprising an aldehyde vaporizer 1, an aldehyde preheater 2 and a reactor 3 connected in sequence, wherein the front end of the aldehyde vaporizer 1 is provided with a primary condensate heat exchanger 4, and the primary condensate heat exchanger 4 is provided with two inlets and two outlets, wherein one inlet is connected to condensate, the other inlet is connected to a mixed liquid of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde raw materials, one outlet is connected to the aldehyde vaporizer 1, and the other outlet is connected to a condensate collecting tank 6; a secondary condensate heat exchanger 5 is provided between the aldehyde preheater 2 and the aldehyde vaporizer 1, and the secondary condensate heat exchanger 5 is provided with two inlets and two outlets, wherein one inlet is connected to condensate, the other inlet is connected to the aldehyde vaporizer 1, one outlet is connected to the aldehyde preheater 2, and the other outlet is connected to the condensate collecting tank 6; the primary condensate heat exchanger 4 and the secondary condensate heat exchanger 5 are both connected to the condensate collecting tank 6, one side of the condensate collecting tank 6 is connected to a condensate delivery pipeline 7, and a delivery pump 8 is provided on the condensate delivery pipeline 7.
[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of the aldehyde vaporizers 1 is five, and the five aldehyde vaporizers 1 are arranged in parallel. By arranging multiple aldehyde vaporizers 1, it is beneficial to increase the heat exchange area and improve the production efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the number of the aldehyde preheaters 2 is two, and the two aldehyde preheaters 2 are arranged in parallel. Since the heating temperature in the aldehyde preheater 2 is relatively high, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde will form coke when reaching 115°C, clogging the pipeline, resulting in poor heat exchange efficiency and requiring regular cleaning. By setting up two aldehyde preheaters 2, one as a backup and the other as a standby, when one of the aldehyde preheaters 2 is cleaned, the other one can be activated without affecting production.
[0019] Working principle: The formaldehyde and acetaldehyde raw materials at 60℃ first enter the primary condensate heat exchanger 4 for heat exchange, and the formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are heated to about 102℃ and enter the aldehyde vaporizer 1 for vaporization, and then pass through the secondary condensate heat exchanger 5 to further increase the raw material temperature, and finally pass through the aldehyde preheater 2 to increase the formaldehyde and acetaldehyde gas to about 120℃ and send it to the reactor 3, where it is mixed with liquid ammonia to react and generate a pyridine mixture, which then enters the subsequent process for distillation separation to obtain a pyridine product.
[0020] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and application concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
