Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of distillation and purification of n-propanol, in particular to an n-propanol distillation tower with a wastewater collection structure. Background Art

[0002] The distillation of n-propanol is a process of separating n-propanol from other impurities, usually carried out using a distillation tower. The following are the general steps of the distillation of n-propanol: Feeding: A mixture containing n-propanol and impurities is fed into the distillation tower. Heating and evaporation: In the distillation tower, the mixture is heated to evaporate and form steam. Vapor-liquid exchange: The steam rises in the tower and exchanges vapor with the descending liquid. The light components in the steam (such as n-propanol) are gradually concentrated, while the heavy components in the liquid (such as impurities) are gradually concentrated. Condensation and reflux: The steam is cooled by the condenser at the top of the tower, condensed into liquid, and partially refluxed into the tower to provide sufficient vapor-liquid exchange. Product collection: At the appropriate position of the tower, the n-propanol product with higher purity is collected. Bottom discharge: The liquid at the bottom of the tower contains a higher concentration of heavy components and a small amount of n-propanol, which is usually discharged or further processed. In the process of n-propanol distillation, some parameters need to be controlled, such as feed amount, heating temperature, reflux ratio, etc., to ensure the purity and yield of the product. In addition, some optimization measures can be adopted to improve the distillation efficiency, such as selecting the appropriate tower plate type, using efficient extractants or entrainers, etc.

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications, and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0021] The following describes the n-propanol distillation tower with a wastewater collection structure according to an embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the n-propanol distillation tower with a wastewater collection structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a distillation tower body 1 and a wastewater collection mechanism 2 arranged inside the distillation tower body 1, the wastewater collection mechanism 2 includes a drainage pipe 3, a cylinder 21, a fixed cylinder 22, a siphon 24 and a water suction pipe 25, wherein the water suction pipe 25 is arranged at the bottom of the distillation tower body 1, a first one-way valve plate 253 is arranged inside the water suction pipe 25, the siphon 24 is sleeved on the top of the water suction pipe 25, the cylinder 21 is arranged inside the distillation tower body 1, and the power shaft of the cylinder 21 is connected to the siphon 24, the fixed cylinder 22 is connected to the top water outlet end of the siphon 24, and the fixed cylinder 22 is connected to the drainage pipe 3.

[0023] Specifically, the n-propanol distillation tower with a wastewater collection structure of the utility model drives the siphon tube 24 to move back and forth up and down through the cylinder 21. Negative pressure is generated inside the siphon tube 24 to gradually drain the wastewater inside the water suction pipe 25. After the wastewater is drained, the wastewater is automatically drained out by the siphon effect. At this time, the cylinder 21 can stop moving, and the entire water diversion circuit is a tubular structure to reduce residual stains.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a first piston ring 251 is provided on the inner circumferential wall at the bottom of the siphon tube 24, a bearing seat 241 is provided on the outside of the siphon tube 24, and a power shaft of the cylinder 21 is connected to the bearing seat 241 to drive the siphon tube 24 to move up and down. A transfer tube 23 is provided on the top of the siphon tube 24, a second piston ring 232 is provided on the outer circumferential wall at the top of the transfer tube 23, and a second one-way valve plate 231 is provided on the top of the transfer tube 23.

[0025] Specifically, when the cylinder 21 drives the siphon tube 24 to rise, the siphon tube 24 moves upward relative to the water suction pipe 25, the internal space of the siphon tube 24 becomes larger, and negative pressure is generated inside the siphon tube 24. The second one-way valve plate 231 at the top of the siphon tube 24 is closed by the negative pressure, and the first one-way valve plate 253 at the bottom of the siphon tube 24 is opened by the negative pressure, and the wastewater at the bottom of the distillation tower body 1 enters the siphon tube 24 through the water inlet groove 252. When the siphon tube 24 moves downward again, the first one-way valve plate 253 is closed by the gravity of the internal wastewater, and the second one-way valve plate 231 is opened upward by the water pressure, and the wastewater enters the fixed cylinder 22 and the drainage pipe 3 in turn.

[0026] When the siphon tube 24 moves up and down, the first piston ring 251 at the bottom of the siphon tube 24 and the second piston ring 232 at the upper end of the transfer tube 23 maintain the airtightness of the connection between the fixed cylinder 22, the siphon tube 24 and the water suction pipe 25.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the fixed cylinder 22 is fixedly arranged inside the distillation tower body 1, and the fixed cylinder 22 is sleeved on the outside of the transfer pipe 23. Since the top of the fixed cylinder 22 is connected to the drainage pipe 3, the fixed pipe and the drainage pipe 3 will not move during the up and down movement of the siphon pipe 24, so that the wastewater can be discharged more smoothly. A water inlet groove 252 is provided at the bottom of the water suction pipe 25, and a limit ring 254 is provided at the top of the water suction pipe 25 for limiting the rising position of the first piston ring 251.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, a detachable mounting joint 31 is provided on the drainage pipe 3 to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the drainage pipe 3. An elbow 32 is provided at the discharge end of the drainage pipe 3. When the water flow inside the drainage pipe 3 stops, moisture is stored inside the recessed part of the elbow 32, which plays a role in isolating the air inside and outside the distillation tower body 1 to prevent pollution.

[0029] In order to clearly explain the above embodiments, refer to Figure 1-3 The specific working principle of the n-propanol distillation tower with wastewater collection structure of the utility model is as follows:

[0030] In the process of discharging the waste water at the bottom of the distillation tower body 1, the ventilation of the cylinder 21 drives the siphon tube 24 to move up and down. In the process of the siphon tube 24 rising, the siphon tube 24 moves upward relative to the water suction pipe 25, and the internal space of the siphon tube 24 becomes larger, so a negative pressure is generated inside the siphon tube 24. The second one-way valve plate 231 at the top of the siphon tube 24 is closed by the negative pressure, and the first one-way valve plate 253 at the bottom of the siphon tube 24 is opened by the negative pressure. The waste water at the bottom of the distillation tower body 1 enters the siphon tube 24 through the water inlet groove 252. When the siphon tube 24 moves downward again, the first one-way valve plate 253 is closed by the gravity of the water inside the siphon tube 24, and the second one-way valve plate 231 is pushed upward by the water pressure. The waste water enters the fixed cylinder 22 and the drainage tube 3 in turn and is discharged through the drainage tube 3.

[0031] In summary, the n-propanol distillation tower with a wastewater collection structure in the embodiment of the utility model drives the siphon tube to move back and forth up and down through the cylinder, and the negative pressure is generated inside the siphon tube to gradually drain the wastewater inside the distillation tower. After the wastewater is drained, the cylinder can stop moving, and the wastewater is automatically drained out by the siphon effect, and the entire water diversion circuit is a tubular structure to reduce residual stains.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and deform the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
