Aminoacetic acid is mainly used for non-toxic decarbonation of fertilizers, medicine and pesticides. It is one of the raw materials for synthesizing glyphosate by the alkyl ester method. It can also be used as a raw material and preservative for cosmetics. It has a relatively broad market and application prospects, so the market demand for aminoacetic acid is increasing.

In the production process, a large amount of aminoacetic acid methanol mother liquor is produced in the centrifugal section, which also contains the catalyst urotropine and some crystalline impurities. When the catalyst urotropine is separated by atmospheric distillation, the high temperature will destroy the catalyst urotropine and cannot be used for production. Therefore, recovering methanol and urotropine from the aminoacetic acid mother liquor produced in the centrifugal section in the aminoacetic acid production process has become a difficult problem for the treatment of aminoacetic acid methanol mother liquor. And with the increase in domestic demand for aminoacetic acid, the output of aminoacetic acid has been promoted to increase, but at the same time, the output of methanol mother liquor has also been promoted to be larger and larger, and the production cost consumption of methanol and catalyst urotropine has also been promoted to increase.

[0021] The pretreatment system is mainly used to remove precipitated crystals, impurity particles, etc. in the aminoacetic acid methanol mother liquor, reduce the introduction of impurities, and facilitate the implementation of subsequent negative pressure distillation.

[0022] Specifically, the pretreatment system includes a mother liquor feed pipeline 4 , a plate and frame filter device 6 and an intermediate tank 9 .

[0023] A high-pressure feed pump 1, a liquid flow meter A2 and a liquid pressure gauge 3 are installed on the mother liquor feed pipeline 4. The liquid flow meter A2 and the liquid pressure gauge 3 measure and analyze the methanol mother liquor, and the analysis results are transmitted remotely to the remote control system. The remote control system can remotely adjust the feed amount of the plate and frame filter device 6 through the solenoid valve according to the flow and pressure data.

[0024] The mother liquor feed pipeline 4 is a galvanized pipeline, which is connected to the feed port 5 of the plate and frame filter device 6, and the discharge port 7 of the plate and frame filter device 6 is connected to the liquid inlet 8 of the intermediate tank 9.

[0025] The plate and frame filter device 6 is a plate and frame filter of the prior art, which can filter out impurities and crystals and reduce impurities in the methanol mother liquor. It is mainly composed of a feed port 5, a hydraulic device, a filter plate, a filter frame, a guide rail and a discharge port 7. A pressure gauge for detecting hydraulic force data is installed on the hydraulic device. The number of filter plates is at least 20 groups, which can be easily disassembled and repaired individually. The hydraulic device is connected to a pressure rod, and the pressure rod is connected to an extrusion plate.

[0027] Specifically, the negative pressure distillation system includes a negative pressure distillation tower 14 , a reboiler 35 , a condenser 28 , a vacuum unit 26 , a production reflux tank 31 and a methanol storage tank 37 .

[0028] The liquid outlet 11 of the intermediate tank 9 is connected to the feeding port 15 of the negative pressure distillation tower 14 through the intermediate feed pump 12 and the liquid flow meter B13. The liquid flow meter B13 measures and analyzes the liquid flowing through, and the analysis result is transmitted to the remote control system.

Part of the material in the flow tank 31 refluxes from the reflux outlet 32 ​​to the top of the negative pressure distillation tower 14 for further purification, and part of the material in the reflux tank 31 is taken out and enters the methanol storage tank 37 from the methanol extraction outlet 30; during this period, the reboiler 35 performs cyclic heating on the material at the lower part of the negative pressure distillation tower 14 to separate methanol from the heated material; during this period, the vacuum unit 26 provides the negative pressure distillation tower 14 with working negative pressure; during this period, the remote control system coordinates as a whole, and adjusts the operating status of the entire device in time through the detection data sent back by various detection instruments, so that the negative pressure distillation treatment work can be completed normally.

[0038] In summary, by adopting the utility model to perform negative pressure distillation separation treatment on aminoacetic acid methanol mother liquor, methanol can be separated for further use in production, and the separated hexamethylenetetramine can also be continuously recycled, thereby saving energy and production costs at the same time.
