Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of adipic acid production equipment, and in particular relates to a green cleaning system in adipic acid production process. Background Art
[0002] In adipic acid production, an oxidation reaction generates an adipic acid solution. This solution then undergoes a series of steps, including crystallization, separation, dissolution, decolorization, filtration, recrystallization, and further separation, to yield qualified purified adipic acid. The adipic acid solution generated by the oxidation reaction, after separation and washing, contains a small amount of colored impurities. These impurities need to be removed by adding activated carbon to the solution to absorb them. Once the impurities in the adipic acid solution are adsorbed by the activated carbon, the activated carbon loses its activity and becomes waste, simultaneously adding new impurities to the adipic acid solution. Therefore, to meet the quality requirements of the adipic acid product, this waste activated carbon must be removed.
[0003] In adipic acid production, existing technologies for removing spent activated carbon typically involve washing with hot mother liquor followed by pressurized removal of the activated carbon. However, this has the disadvantage that the hot mother liquor used for cleaning and removing the activated carbon contains some adipic acid solution. This hot mother liquor, discharged into the sewer after washing, increases the total nitrogen content in the sewer and increases wastewater treatment costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a green cleaning system for the adipic acid production process, which adds a hot high-purity water tank and an automatic cleaning program. The high-purity water after cleaning directly enters the ditch without affecting the total nitrogen content, thereby reducing the pressure on sewage treatment.
[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A green cleaning system for an adipic acid production process includes a carbon filter, a filtrate receiving tank, and a waste carbon filter. The carbon filter is connected to the filtrate receiving tank via a pipeline. The bottom of the carbon filter is connected to the waste carbon filter via a pipeline. The bottom of the waste carbon filter is connected to a wastewater discharge pipeline.
[0007] The inlet of the carbon filter is connected to the adipic acid slurry tank through a feed pipeline, and an adipic acid slurry pump and a feed solenoid valve are provided on the feed pipeline. The hot mother liquor tank is connected to the feed pipeline through a pipeline, and a hot mother liquor delivery pump and a hot mother cleaning liquid solenoid valve are provided on the connecting pipeline of the hot mother liquor tank. The hot high-purity water tank is connected to the feed pipeline through a pipeline, and a hot high-purity water delivery pump and a high-purity water cleaning solenoid valve are provided on the connecting pipeline of the hot high-purity water tank.
[0008] Furthermore, a compressed air pipeline is provided above the carbon filter, a compressed air solenoid valve is provided on the compressed air pipeline, and a discharge solenoid valve and a pressure gauge are provided on the pipeline between the carbon filter and the filtrate receiving tank.
[0009] Furthermore, a discharge solenoid valve is provided on the wastewater discharge pipeline, an overflow port is opened on the upper side of the waste carbon filter, the overflow port is connected to an overflow pipeline, and the overflow pipeline is connected to the wastewater discharge pipeline.
[0010] Furthermore, the carbon filter is a candle-shaped filter, which is provided with a plurality of filter elements, each element being covered with a polypropylene filter cloth, and the filtration accuracy is 1 μm.
[0011] Furthermore, the waste carbon filter is a conical filter with a metal filter mesh provided at the bottom and a polypropylene filter cloth provided above the metal filter mesh, and the filtration accuracy is 1 μm.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a hot high-purity water tank and an automatic cleaning program are added on the original basis, and the high-purity water after cleaning directly enters the ditch without affecting the total nitrogen content, thereby reducing the pressure on sewage treatment; an overflow port is opened on the upper side of the waste carbon filter and is connected to the wastewater discharge pipeline to ensure that the tank will not overflow, thereby avoiding environmental pollution.
