[0002] Atorvastatin calcium is a kind of lipid-lowering drug. Atorvastatin M4 is an important intermediate (main ring) for the production of this kind of drug atorvastatin calcium (trade name Lipitor). Its market capacity is closely related to the market capacity of lipid-lowering drugs. This product is used in large quantities in the pharmaceutical field. Large enterprises use more than medium and small enterprises, and it can maintain a certain scale of use for a long time.

[0003] Generally, the production of atorvastatin M4 mostly uses a variety of solvents. The production of atorvastatin M4 needs to be completed through multiple processes. Each process uses different production equipment (including reaction kettles, storage tanks, drying equipment, rectification equipment, etc.) according to different solvents. During the production process, each production equipment will generate solvent vapor and discharge it into its respective exhaust pipe. Usually, a breather valve is installed on the exhaust pipe to ensure the stability of the air pressure in the pipe. However, the problem is that the solvent vapor discharged through the breather valve is not effectively recycled and is basically discharged into the air, resulting in waste of resources. Content of the Utility Model:

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a solvent evaporation recovery device for the production of atorvastatin calcium intermediate M4 to solve the problems put forward in the above background art.

[0005] The utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A solvent evaporation recovery device for the production of atorvastatin calcium intermediate M4 includes exhaust pipes on multiple production equipment. A fireproof single breather valve is installed on each exhaust pipe. The exhalation end of each fireproof single breather valve is connected to one end of an inlet pipe through a flange. The other end of each inlet pipe is respectively inserted into the bottom of the cooling area of a water cooler. A circulating cooling water pipe is arranged in the water cooler. A plurality of baffle plates are cross-arranged in the cooling area. The bottom of the water cooler is connected to the liquid inlet of a collection tank through a diversion pipe. An outlet pipe is arranged at the top of each cooling area of the water cooler. The tops of the outlet pipes are all connected to an exhaust gas pipe, and the exhaust gas pipe flows to the intake end of a backfire furnace.

[0007] Preferably, the circulating cooling water pipe runs through all the cooling areas.

[0008] Preferably, there are multiple cooling areas, including a methanol cooling area, a toluene cooling area, a dichloromethane cooling area, and an isopropanol cooling area.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the baffle plate slopes downward toward the middle position of the cooling zone.

[0010] Advantages of the present utility model: It can collect different solvent vapors discharged from multiple production devices at the same time, and perform unified cooling and separation through a cooler, so that the solvent vapors discharged from the breather valve can be effectively recycled, avoiding waste of solvent use and saving costs.
