Specific implementation mode
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a membrane removal device for tetrahydrofuran impurities, including a conveying channel 1, a heater 2 and a membrane separation mechanism 9. One end inside the conveying channel 1 is installed with a heater 2, and a corner channel 3 is vertically arranged at the discharge end of the conveying channel 1. One end inside the corner channel 3 is inserted with a filter 4. A liquid guide plate 8 is installed at the bottom of the corner channel 3, and a membrane separation mechanism 9 is installed at the bottom of the liquid guide plate 8. The membrane separation mechanism 9 includes a polymer outer shell 901, a permeate gathering cylinder 902, a permeate collection valve pipe 903, a concentrate collection valve pipe 904 and a pervaporation membrane 905. The pervaporation membranes 905 are arranged in an array inside the polymer outer shell 901, and permeate gathering cylinders 902 are arranged at the outer ends of multiple groups of pervaporation membranes 905. And a permeate collection valve pipe 903 is installed on the outer side of the permeate gathering cylinder 902. A concentrate collection valve pipe 904 is installed at the bottom of the other end outside the polymer outer shell 901; the pervaporation membrane 905 is integrally in a hollow cylindrical structure, and multiple groups of pervaporation membranes 905 are arranged along the central axis of the polymer outer shell 901; the inner hollow end of the pervaporation membrane 905 is connected to the permeate gathering cylinder 902, and the pervaporation membrane 905, the permeate gathering cylinder 902 and the permeate collection valve pipe 903 are interconnected; an external body 5 is arranged outside the filter 4, and an adjusting slide rail 6 is arranged between the top of the external body 5 and the bottom wall of the conveying channel 1; a horizontal sliding structure is formed between the adjusting slide rail 6 and the external body 5, and a horizontal plug-in connection is formed between the filter 4 and the corner channel 3; a raw material tank interface 7 is arranged at the feed end of the conveying channel 1; a protective frame 10 is arranged outside the polymer outer shell 901;
[0023] The pervaporation membrane 905 uses a pervaporation membrane material with high selectivity and high flux, which has different permeation properties for tetrahydrofuran and impurities such as ethanol, can achieve selective permeation of impurities, has high selectivity and high flux, and can efficiently remove trace impurities in tetrahydrofuran;
[0024] Through a pretreatment unit composed of a heater 2 and a filter 4, the heater 2 is used to heat the mixed liquid to an appropriate temperature to improve the membrane separation efficiency; the filter 4 is used to remove solid particles and macromolecular impurities in the mixed liquid to protect the membrane module in the membrane separation unit. The setting of its pretreatment unit can protect the membrane module from damage by solid particles and macromolecular impurities and extend the service life of the membrane module;
[0025] Both the heater 2 and the filter 4 are arranged in the conveying channel 1. By setting corner channels 3 with different transmission angles, the transmission speed of the internal mixed liquid is made different, so that the filtering effect of the filter 4 is better, and the filter 4 supports plug-in fitting and can be horizontally moved with the assistance of an adjusting slide rail 6, reducing the cleaning difficulty of the device in the subsequent process.
[0026] Working principle: For this type of tetrahydrofuran impurity removal device, first, through the raw material tank interface 7 at the top of the conveying channel 1, the mixed liquid enters the conveying channel 1 from the port of the raw material tank interface 7. At the same time, the inner heater 2 is started to raise the internal temperature of the conveying channel 1 to achieve heat treatment of the mixed liquid and heat the mixed liquid to an appropriate temperature. Then, the mixed liquid moves downward along the corner channel 3 and enters the filter 4 under the action of gravity to remove solid particles and macromolecular impurities in the mixed liquid. Then, the pretreated mixed liquid will enter the membrane separation mechanism 9 along the liquid guide plate 8. Multiple groups of pervaporation membranes 905 are arranged in the polymer shell 901 to form multiple groups of cylindrical channels, allowing the tetrahydrofuran mixed liquid to pass through and forming a concentration difference on both sides of the membrane, so as to achieve selective permeation and separation of impurities, and the permeate collection valve tube 903 and the concentrate collection valve tube 904 on both sides are used for recovery treatment respectively;
[0027] Adjust the heating temperature of the mixed liquid and the type selection of the membrane module according to actual production needs. For example, when the tetrahydrofuran mixed liquid contains more ethanol impurities, a membrane module with higher selectivity for ethanol can be selected; when it is necessary to improve the membrane separation efficiency, the heating temperature of the mixed liquid can be appropriately increased.
[0028] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention without creative labor should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope defined by the claims.
