Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a separation and purification device for acetylene dissolved in acetone, belonging to the field of chemical engineering technology. Specifically, it is a device that uses low-temperature circulating cooling to separate the acetone solution in dissolved acetylene, collects and recovers the separated acetone solution through the liquid separation operation of a U-shaped bend pipe, and purifies acetylene gas through high-pressure drying. Background Art
[0002] Acetylene gas is at risk of violent explosion in the liquid and solid states or in the gaseous state under certain pressures. Factors such as heat, vibration, and electric sparks can all trigger an explosion. Therefore, it cannot be stored or transported after being pressurized and liquefied. Acetylene gas is insoluble in water and soluble in acetone. At 15°C and a total pressure of 15 atmospheres, the solubility of acetylene gas in acetone is relatively large, being 237 g / L, and the solution is stable.
[0003] Therefore, industrially, acetylene gas is pressed into a steel cylinder filled with porous substances such as asbestos (made by combining lightweight and porous activated carbon, wood chips, pumice, and diatomaceous earth, etc.) after the porous substances absorb the acetone solution for storage and transportation. In the presence of the acetone solution, acetylene gas can be stored in the steel cylinder at a very low pressure, with stable and safe storage. The dissolution of acetylene in acetone has been widely used in industry.
[0004] During use, the acetylene gas dissolved in the acetone solution will decompose and flow out through the acetylene cylinder valve. During the outflow process of acetylene gas, some acetone will flow out along with the acetylene gas, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the acetylene gas. When acetylene gas is used as a raw material in the organic synthesis industry, it must be separated and purified. Otherwise, it will cause a decrease in the concentration of acetylene gas in the reaction system and a slowdown in the reaction process at worst; or it will lead to the failure of the organic synthesis reaction or cause safety production accidents. To separate acetone from dissolved acetylene gas, the currently commonly used purification device is to let the dissolved acetylene gas pass through a concentrated sulfuric acid solution to absorb the acetone impurities. The deficiencies of this acetone-dissolved acetylene purification device are as follows: First, due to the strong corrosiveness of concentrated sulfuric acid and it being a precursor for drug production under control, it increases the risk of the process; second, the sulfuric acid needs to be replaced after a certain period of use and treated as hazardous waste, increasing the environmental protection treatment cost; third, the acetone solution absorbed by concentrated sulfuric acid cannot be recycled, increasing the production cost.
[0005] Through retrieval, it can be known that there has been no report on a device that uses low-temperature circulating cooling to separate the acetone solution in dissolved acetylene, collects and recovers the separated acetone solution through the liquid separation operation of a U-shaped bend pipe, and purifies acetylene gas through high-pressure drying.
