Especially in the industrial production process, there are two technical problems in the use of ethanol:

[0003] 1. The dissolution efficiency of ethanol is low, that is, the structure of the ethanol-phase batching tank in the prior art is single, and a material pump needs to be used in cooperation with high-power output, resulting in excessive energy loss and the phenomenon of solvent top-off, which affects the effect of forming nanoparticles of the material.

[0006] The utility model solves its technical problems by adopting the following technical solutions:

Among them, the first ethanol-phase batching tank, the second ethanol-phase batching tank and the aqueous-phase batching tank are sequentially connected by vertical pipelines from top to bottom. A diversion pipe is arranged at the lower part of the vertical pipeline and extends to the inner wall side of the adjacent material tank. Flow regulating valves are arranged on the vertical pipelines. The discharge port of the aqueous-phase batching tank is connected to the inlet of the first homogenizer through a centrifugal pump.

[0008] Moreover, the rectifying column includes a column body, on one side of which there is a feed inlet connected to the discharge outlet of the first homogenizer. On the other side of the column body, there are a steam inlet and a steam outlet. At the upper part of the column body, there is a gas outlet connected to the inlet of the first condenser. At the lower part of the column body, a discharge outlet is led out through a connecting pipe and connected to the inlet of the second condenser.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only descriptive and not restrictive, and the protection scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereby.

[0028] An ethanol recycling embedding process system, as Figure 1 shown, includes a first ethanol-phase batching tank 1, a second ethanol-phase batching tank 3, and an aqueous-phase batching tank 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first ethanol-phase batching tank 1 is arranged above the second ethanol-phase batching tank 3, and the aqueous-phase batching tank is arranged below the second ethanol-phase batching tank 3, so that the liquid in the batching tank can flow into the lower batching tank by relying on the self-weight of the liquid through the vertical pipeline 2 and the diversion pipe 6, and is adjusted by adjusting the flow regulating valve 7 to strictly control the concentration of each component of the liquid material, ensuring the accuracy of the final embedding process.

[0030] The first ethanol-phase batching tank 1, the second ethanol-phase batching tank 3, and the aqueous-phase batching tank 4 are all provided with heating jackets and in-tank stirring devices to promote the heating and dissolution of the materials.

In addition, the first ethanol-phase batching tank 1, the second ethanol-phase batching tank 3, and the aqueous-phase batching tank 4 are all provided with a vacuum pump 5 to achieve vacuum pumping in the batching tank.

[0031] The discharge port of the aqueous-phase batching tank 4 is connected to the feed inlet of the first homogenizer 10 through a centrifugal pump 9.

The overflow weir 1242 is vertically arranged on the upper surface of the tray 1241, and the downcomer 1243 is arranged on the lower surface of the tray 1241. The downcomer 1243 of the upper tray tower plate group 124 is in contact with the overflow weir 1242 of the lower tray tower plate group 124, that is, several tray tower plate groups 124 are combined and welded inside the tower body 123.

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, the radius of the tray 1241 is 250 mm, the number of holes is 659, the diameter of each hole is 5 mm, and the opening area is 4 mm 2 , the distance between two trays 1241 is 450 mm, the height of the overflow weir 1242 is 27 mm, the distance between the downcomer 1243 and the tray 1241 is 17 mm, and the material of the tray tower plate group 124 is 316 stainless steel.

[0036] In order to avoid the entrainment of droplets by the gas velocity out of the tower, a demister 122 is arranged below the gas outlet 121 inside the tower body 123.

[0037] In order to avoid the non - compliance of the bottom product of the rectification column 12, a reboiler 11 is also arranged at the end of the discharge port 129 on the outer side of the lower part of the tower body 123 to achieve the purpose of returning the material back to the rectification column 12.

[0038] In addition, various valves and pumps are provided in the technical solution and embodiments of the present invention. The rectifying column 12 is provided with a lifting column, a manhole, a reflux pipe, a sampling port, a liquid level gauge interface, etc., which are all conventional settings well-known to those skilled in the art in the prior art and are all schematically shown in the drawings and will not be marked and described in detail again.

[0039] Although the embodiments and drawings of the present invention are disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art can understand that: various substitutions, changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the content disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
