The extract is purified to form hydrogen peroxide, and the residual extract is returned to the hydrogenation process through the working liquid treatment process. When the working liquid is treated, a negative pressure is formed through the flash evaporation system. It is necessary to seal the vacuum with a liquid seal tank, and maintain a certain liquid level in the liquid seal tank to ensure that the aromatic vapor with water coming down from the vacuum condenser can be discharged into the liquid seal tank. The aromatic vapor with water will be stratified after condensation in the liquid seal tank, with condensed water in the lower layer and aromatics in the upper layer. The liquid level of the liquid seal tank should be observed at any time, and the working liquid should be discharged in time for recycling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a vacuum liquid seal tank includes a tank body 1, which is a hollow cylindrical tank body with a flat cover 101 and a bottom plate 102. The top of the tank body is provided with a plurality of liquid inlets 2, and the aromatic hydrocarbon vapor with water from the vacuum condenser enters the tank body from the liquid inlet 2. The side wall of the tank body 1 is provided with an overflow port 3, a liquid outlet 4 and a drain port 5 from top to bottom; the overflow port 3, the liquid outlet 4 and the drain port 5 are provided with respective valves. The side wall of the tank body is also provided with a sight glass 6 and an inspection port 7; the sight glass 6 is used to manually observe the liquid level inside the tank body 1; the inspection port 7 is used to facilitate manual entry and exit of the tank body during parking and maintenance operations. A partition 8 is provided inside the tank body 1, and the partition 8 divides the internal space of the tank body into a first inner cavity 9 and a second inner cavity 10. The height of the partition 8 is flush (same) with the height of the preset liquid level line 11 inside the tank body, and is lower than the overflow port 3. The liquid inlet 2 is located at the top of the second inner cavity 10, and the liquid inlet 2 drains the liquid into the second inner cavity 10 through the drainage pipe 20. Because aromatic hydrocarbons are insoluble in water and have a lower density than water, the partition 8 is used to separate water and aromatic hydrocarbons. The working liquid enters the second inner cavity through the drainage pipe 20. During the introduction process, the water sinks and the aromatic hydrocarbons go up. The aromatic hydrocarbons are above the water. As the liquid level rises, when the liquid level is higher than the partition 8, the aromatic hydrocarbons above the water overflow the partition 8 and enter the first inner cavity 9, and the water and aromatic hydrocarbons are separated by the partition 8.

[0019] The drain port 5 is respectively arranged at the bottom of the side wall of the first inner cavity 9 and the second inner cavity 10, and the drain port 5 is used to drain the liquid in the tank body. The bottom of the side wall of the second inner cavity 10 is also provided with an automatic drain port 12, which is flush with the drain port 5 or the height of the automatic drain port 12 is the same as the height of the drain port 5. The automatic drain port 12 is externally connected to an inverted U-shaped pipe 13; the inverted U-shaped pipe 13 includes a liquid inlet pipe 14, a liquid outlet pipe 16, and a horizontal connecting pipe 15; the upper end of the liquid inlet pipe 14 is connected to the upper end of the liquid outlet pipe 16 through the horizontal connecting pipe 15; the height of the horizontal connecting pipe 15 is flush with the height of the preset liquid level line 11 inside the tank body; the lower end of the liquid inlet pipe 14 is connected to the automatic drain port 12. The inverted U-shaped pipe 13 forms a communicating vessel with the second inner cavity 10 of the tank body, and when the liquid level of the second inner cavity 10 reaches the liquid level line 11, the water in the second inner cavity 10 is automatically discharged by the inverted U-shaped pipe 13. In order to facilitate the discharge of water from the second inner cavity 10 and reduce air resistance, a vent pipe 17 is provided on the horizontal connecting pipe 15 , and the vent pipe 17 is communicated with the horizontal connecting pipe 15 .

[0020] The liquid outlet 4 is arranged on the side wall of the first inner cavity 9, and a control valve 18 is installed at the liquid outlet 4; a top liquid level gauge port 19 is also provided at the top of the tank body 1, and a liquid level detector for detecting the liquid level of the first inner cavity is installed at the top liquid level gauge port 19. The liquid level detector is a guided wave radar level gauge. The control system can control the switch of the control valve 18 according to the liquid level signal detected by the liquid level detector. The control valve 18 and the guided wave radar level gauge form an interlock. When the guided wave radar level gauge detects that the liquid level of the first inner cavity 9 is higher than the liquid outlet 4, the control system automatically opens the control valve 18 to discharge the liquid.

[0021] The upper part of the side wall of the first inner cavity 9 and the second inner cavity 10 is provided with an upper glass level gauge port 21, and the lower part of the side wall of the first inner cavity 9 and the second inner cavity 10 is provided with a lower glass level gauge port 22. The upper glass level gauge port 21 and the lower glass level gauge port 22 are both used to install glass level gauges, which are used to detect the liquid level heights of the two inner cavities respectively.

[0022] The top of the tank body 1 is also provided with a water inlet 23 , a drain port 24 and a standby port 25 .

[0023] In order to prevent the tank body from being damaged by vacuum negative pressure and to enhance the rigidity of the tank body 1 , two reinforcing angle steels 26 are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate 101 of the tank body 1 ; and a reinforcing rib plate 27 is arranged on the bottom plate 102 of the tank body 1 .

[0024] The working principle of the automatic separation and automatic drainage of a vacuum liquid sealing tank of the utility model is as follows: the working liquid flows into the interior of the second inner cavity 10 through the drainage pipe, and the working liquid is stratified in the process of entering the tank body, the water sinks, and the aromatic hydrocarbons are in the upper layer of the water. The water at the bottom of the second inner cavity 10 enters the liquid inlet pipe 14 of the inverted U-shaped pipe 13 through the automatic drain port 12. As the liquid level of the working liquid in the second inner cavity 10 increases, the water level of the liquid inlet pipe 14 of the inverted U-shaped pipe 13 also increases with the increase in the liquid level of the working liquid. When the liquid level of the working liquid reaches the liquid level line 11, the aromatic hydrocarbons overflow the partition plate 8 and flow into the first inner cavity 9 for collection. The water level in the inverted U-shaped pipe 13 also reaches the horizontal connecting pipe 15, and then the water is automatically discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 16, so that the water collected in the second inner cavity 10 can be automatically discharged through the inverted U-shaped pipe 13 without manual operation. When the aromatic hydrocarbons collected in the first inner cavity 9 are detected by the guided wave radar level meter to have a liquid level higher than the liquid outlet 4, the control system automatically opens the control valve 18 to automatically discharge the aromatic hydrocarbons without manual operation. The aromatic liquid level is lower than the liquid outlet 4, and the control valve 18 is automatically closed. Therefore, the vacuum liquid seal tank realizes the automatic separation of the working liquid, and the separation can be carried out separately to prevent overflow.

[0025] The parts not involved in this utility model are the same as the existing technology or can be implemented by using the existing technology. The above content is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with the specific preferred implementation mode. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to the records of the above embodiments. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, they can make some simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of the utility model, which should be regarded as belonging to the patent protection scope of the utility model determined by the submitted claims.
