DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0028] This embodiment provides a device for separating and purifying dimethyl sulfoxide, which relates to the technical field of dimethyl sulfoxide production and preparation. The obtained dimethyl sulfoxide product is subjected to a cooling crystallization process to crystallize the dimethyl sulfoxide. The obtained product is then filtered using a filter assembly 200 to separate the dimethyl sulfoxide from the dimethyl sulfoxide, thereby purifying the dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 6In this embodiment, a device for separating and purifying dimethyl sulfoxide includes: a crystallization component 100 and a filtration component 200. The crystallization component 100 includes a crystallization kettle 110 and a temperature control unit 120. The temperature control unit 120 is arranged in the crystallization kettle 110. The temperature control unit 120 can cool the internal dimethyl sulfoxide liquid to achieve cooling crystallization of dimethyl sulfoxide and separate the dimethyl sulfoxide dissolved in the dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0030] The filter assembly 200 includes a filter tank body 210, a filter frame 220, and a stirring and pressurizing unit 230. The filter tank body 210 is connected to the crystallization kettle 110 through a valve. The valve can control the mixture of crystalline dimethyl sulfone and liquid dimethyl sulfoxide to enter the filter tank body 210. The filter frame 220 is tilted relative to the filter tank body 210. The filter frame 220 can hinder the passage of crystalline dimethyl sulfone, thereby achieving the separation of dimethyl sulfone and dimethyl sulfoxide. The dimethyl sulfone crystals gathered on one side of the filter frame 220 can be relatively enriched, avoiding clogging of the filter frame 220 and interfering with the separation efficiency of dimethyl sulfoxide. The stirring and pressurizing unit 230 includes a stirring paddle 231, which is rotatably connected to the filter tank body 210 and is vertically arranged relative to the filter frame 220. The stirring paddle 231 can provide negative pressure to accelerate the rate at which dimethyl sulfoxide liquid passes through the filter frame 220. The stirring paddle 231 can also disturb the crystals attached to the filter frame 220, causing the crystals to detach from the filter frame 220 and gather on one side of the filter frame 220, thereby eliminating the blockage of the filter frame 220 by the crystals, promoting the filtration and separation of the crystalline dimethyl sulfoxide, and achieving effective purification of dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0031] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 5 The filter frame 220 includes a grid frame 221 and a filter screen 222. The two sides of the filter screen 222 abut against the two grid frames 221. The filter frame 220 can provide effective support for the filter screen 222, completing the fixation and support of each area of the filter screen 222, preventing the filter screen 222 from being subjected to excessive pressure in certain areas, causing deformation and damage to the filter screen 222, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the filtration process. The grid frame 221 is connected to the filter tank body 210. The connection between the grid frame 221 and the filter tank body 210 provides stable mechanical support, reducing damage to the filter screen 222 caused by uneven pressure or vibration, thereby extending the service life of the filter assembly 200.
[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 5The mesh frame 221 includes an annular outer frame 221a and spokes 221b. The spokes 221b are arranged radially along the annular outer frame 221a, with both ends of the spokes 221b connected to the annular outer frame 221a. The annular outer frame 221a provides overall support, while the radially arranged spokes 221b increase the internal structural strength, making the entire mesh frame 221 more stable and able to withstand greater liquid pressure and the tension of the filter 222.
[0033] Spokes 221b are arranged radially to evenly distribute the liquid as it flows through filter screen 222, preventing overloading of any one section from affecting overall filtration efficiency. This improves the uniformity and efficiency of the filtration process. Spokes 221b evenly separate filter screen 222, preventing deformation of filter screen 222 due to uneven force during the filtration process, and ensuring that filter screen 222 remains flat and operates effectively.
[0034] The design of the annular outer frame 221a and the spokes 221b optimizes the liquid flow path, reduces the resistance to liquid flow, and makes the filtering process smoother.
[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The filter tank body 210 includes a first shell 211 and a second shell 212 arranged relatively to each other. An inclined abutment surface is formed between the first shell 211 and the second shell 212. The inclination angle of the abutment surface is consistent with the inclination angle of the filter frame 220. The filter frame 220 can be adapted to the abutment surface and be fixed between the first shell 211 and the second shell 212 to realize the installation and fixation of the filter frame 220.
[0036] In practice, an annular groove is provided in the end faces of the first and second housings 211, 212. The cross-section of the annular groove is stepped, and the annular outer frame 221a of the filter frame 220 can be inserted into the annular groove, thereby securing and sealing the outer frame and preventing liquid from leaking from the end face between the first and second housings 211, 212. The ends of the first and second housings 211, 212 extend outward, forming an abutment surface on one side. The ends can be connected by bolts, allowing operators to disassemble the first and second housings 211, 212 as needed to complete maintenance and repair of the filter assembly 200.
[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The stirring paddle 231 includes a rotatable shaft 231a and a paddle 231b. The shaft 231a is rotatably connected to the filter tank 210. One end of the shaft 231a is connected to a servo motor, which can control the speed and direction of the shaft 231a. The paddle 231b is disposed at the other end of the shaft 231a. As one method, the paddle 231b can drive the liquid dimethyl sulfoxide and crystals forward through the filter frame 220, providing negative pressure for the movement of the liquid, promoting the liquid to pass through the filter frame 220, and enhancing filtration efficiency.
[0038] As another way, by changing the direction of the rotating shaft 231a, the blade 231b can drive the liquid dimethyl sulfoxide to pass through the filter frame 220 in the reverse direction, reversely clearing the filter frame 220, clearing the crystals attached and blocked in the filter screen 222, and restoring the filtering capacity of the filter screen 222.
[0039] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 A sealing cap 213 is provided at the lowest point of the filter tank 210 relative to the filter frame 220. The sealing cap 213 is detachably connected to the filter tank 210. The sealing cap 213 is located at the lowest point of the filter frame 220. When the filtration process is completed, the sealing cap 213 can be opened to discharge the dimethyl sulfone crystals accumulated during the filtration process, thereby preventing the accumulation of crystals from affecting subsequent filtration operations.
[0040] The sealing cover 213 is detachably connected to the filter tank body 210. When necessary, the sealing cover 213 can be removed from the filter tank body 210, which makes cleaning the filter tank body 210 more convenient and thorough, and can effectively remove accumulated dimethyl sulfone crystals.
[0041] It should be noted that the sealing cover 213 is connected to the filter tank body 210 by a thread or a buckle, and the sealing cover 213 can be installed and removed as needed. At the same time, a transparent window is provided on the sealing cover 213, through which the working conditions inside the filter tank body 210 can be observed.
[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 A hollow annular insulation chamber 111 is provided in the crystallization kettle 110, and a temperature control unit 120 is provided in the annular insulation chamber 111. The setting of the annular insulation chamber 111 enables the temperature control unit 120 to evenly distribute the cooling capacity, thereby providing a uniform temperature environment inside the crystallization kettle 110, which is conducive to the stable crystallization of dimethyl sulfone and avoids local overheating or overcooling.
[0043] At the same time, the temperature control unit 120 is located in the annular heat preservation chamber 111, and the heat conduction path is short, which can achieve rapid temperature adjustment and improve the temperature control accuracy and response speed during the reaction process.
[0044] As a further embodiment, the temperature control unit 120 includes a heat pipe 121 wound in the annular insulation chamber 111, and a flowing heat-conducting medium is passed through the heat pipe 121. The heat pipe 121 is wound so that heat or cold can be evenly transferred to various parts of the crystallization kettle 110, ensuring uniform temperature distribution in the kettle and avoiding local overheating or overcooling.
[0045] At the same time, the relatively wound heat pipe 121 increases the contact area between the heat pipe 121 and the inner wall of the insulation chamber, ensuring that the heat or cold can fully cover the entire crystallization kettle 110, thereby improving the uniformity and effectiveness of temperature control.
[0046] Efficient heat transfer is achieved through the flowing medium in the heat pipe 121. Compared with the static heating method, the flowing heat-conducting medium can transfer heat more quickly, thereby improving the heating or cooling efficiency.
[0047] The temperature and flow rate of the heat-conducting medium in the heat-conducting pipe 121 can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature in the crystallization kettle 110 to meet the requirements of different crystallization conditions.
[0048] It should be noted that the melting point of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is 18.5°C and the melting point of dimethyl sulfoxide (MSM) is 109°C. Cooling dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mixed with dimethyl sulfoxide (MSM) to a temperature close to the melting point of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can promote the crystallization of dimethyl sulfoxide (MSM) and separate it from methyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
[0049] The process begins by introducing a heat transfer medium through heat pipe 121 to cool the liquid in crystallization kettle 110, lowering the temperature in crystallization kettle 110 to between the melting points of dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl sulfone. This temperature is then maintained for a period of time to allow all dimethyl sulfone to crystallize. Next, a valve is opened to allow the mixture in crystallization kettle 110 to enter filter tank 210. Filter rack 220 filters the mixture, separating the dimethyl sulfone crystals and purifying the dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0050] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
