Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to production equipment for refined adipic acid, in particular to a crude adipic acid dissolving device. Background Art
[0002] Refined adipic acid is usually prepared by recrystallization of crude adipic acid. During the production process, the crude adipic acid is separated by a centrifuge and then dissolved in 90°C pure water for further purification. In order to ensure the solubility of the crude adipic acid, a large amount of high-temperature pure water is required. Figure 1 As shown, the current production line is equipped with a pure water tank heater 16. This uses steam heating to raise the temperature of pure water, which is then injected into the dissolution tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 17 to ensure sufficient dissolution of the crude adipic acid. This steam heating consumes a lot of energy and increases production costs. Furthermore, a pure water storage tank 15 is added to the discharge pipe of the crude adipic acid centrifuge. The water temperature in pure water storage tank 15 is only 40°C, which cannot ensure sufficient dissolution of the adipic acid. Especially in winter, when the ambient temperature is low, the low temperature and small amount of pure water cannot completely prevent adipic acid crystallization in the pipe. To prevent clogging of the discharge pipe, a heating device must be added to water storage tank 15. The additional heating device and its energy consumption further increase production costs. Furthermore, the outdoor hot water process on the production line uses hot steam to generate a large amount of condensate at a temperature of approximately 80°C to 90°C. This is not properly utilized and is wasted, which invisibly increases production costs for the company. Utility Model Content
[0003] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of the utility model is to recycle the waste heat of condensed water to reduce energy consumption and streamline equipment, and to provide a crude adipic acid dissolving device.
[0004] Technical solution: The crude adipic acid dissolving device described in the utility model includes a dissolving tank and a crude adipic acid feed port. The crude adipic acid feed port is connected to a dissolving water inlet pipe for flushing the feed pipe and providing solvent. The dissolving water inlet pipe is provided with a heat exchange device for heating the pure water in the pure water pipe; the heat exchange device utilizes the waste heat of the condensed water in the plant area as a heat source.
[0005] Furthermore, the crude adipic acid feed port is connected to the discharge pipe of the crude adipic acid centrifuge; the dissolving water inlet pipe is connected to the discharge pipe of the crude adipic acid centrifuge, and while flushing the adipic acid feed pipe, sufficient pure water is injected into the dissolving tank for secondary dissolution and purification of adipic acid.
[0006] Furthermore, the water temperature in the dissolved water inlet pipe is 80°C to 90°C, and the temperature of the condensed water collected on the production line of the factory after being heated into pure water by the heat exchange equipment can meet the dissolution requirements of adipic acid.
[0007] Furthermore, the pure water pipe is provided with a pure water flow meter and a flow control valve for controlling the amount of pure water flowing into the dissolution tank to ensure that the adipic acid is fully dissolved.
[0008] Furthermore, the heat exchange device is a plate-type heat exchange device, and the heat exchange area of the heat exchange device is 20m 3 ~30m 3 The appropriate heat exchange area can fully utilize the waste heat of the condensed water to heat the pure water to the required temperature to meet the process requirements.

The crude adipic acid feed port 15 is connected to the discharge pipe 13 of the crude adipic acid centrifuge 12, and the dissolved water inlet pipe 11 is connected to the discharge pipe 13 of the crude adipic acid centrifuge 12; a heat exchange device 5 for heating pure water is provided on the dissolved water inlet pipe 11; the heat exchange device 5 adopts a plate-type heat exchange device with a heat exchange area of 20m 3 ~30m 3 , using the waste heat of the condensed water in the plant as a heat source; the dissolved water inlet pipe 11 is provided with a flow meter 7 and a flow control valve 8.
[0014] During use, condensed water from the outdoor hot water process section of the plant's production line is collected for future use. The condensed water inlet valve 3 and outlet valve 4, as well as the pure water inlet valve 6 and outlet valve 9 on heat exchanger 5, are opened. The condensed water, carrying residual heat, flows through the condensed water inlet pipe and into heat exchanger 5, exchanging heat with the pure water flowing through heat exchanger 5, heating the pure water to 80°C to 90°C.
