Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a tower device used for washing tetrabromobisphenol A. Background Art

[0002] The production process for tetrabromobisphenol A (TBPA) includes bromination, aging, neutralization, washing, crystallization, centrifugation, and drying. Neutralization and washing are the processes for purifying the product liquid. Bromination, aging, and neutralization produce a nearly white liquid consisting of TBBPA, a solvent, and a small amount of sodium sulfate. Traditionally, the TBBPA washing process is performed in an intermittent process. The liquid and deionized water are injected into a washing kettle in a specific ratio, stirred and heated, and allowed to stand for a certain period of time to separate into separate layers. Salt components such as sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, and sodium bromide are then extracted into the deionized water. This process is lengthy and requires frequent manual operation and observation, typically taking over an hour. Two or three washing stages are required to achieve the desired performance. The separation operation is subject to significant human influence, making it easy for the material phase to separate into the water layer or vice versa. This process is long and consumes a large amount of deionized water, which compromises the continuity of the entire production process. It also requires extensive manual observation and operation, resulting in a low level of automation. Utility Model Content

[0023] Figure 1 The diagram is a structural diagram of a tower used for washing tetrabromobisphenol A.

[0024] The utility model provides a tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A includes: a first component sedimentation zone 1, a packing zone 2 and a second component sedimentation zone 3 arranged from top to bottom, the lower end of the packing zone 2 is provided with a water inlet 21 and a first disperser 22, the first disperser 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the packing zone 2, and the first end of the water inlet 21 is communicated with the first disperser 22, the upper end of the packing zone 2 is provided with a feed port 23 and a second disperser 24, the second disperser 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the packing zone 2, and the first end of the feed port 23 is communicated with the second disperser 24, the top of the first component sedimentation zone 1 is provided with a first discharge port 11, and the bottom of the second component sedimentation zone 3 is provided with a second discharge port 31, the diameter of the first component sedimentation zone 1 is larger than the diameter of the packing zone 2, and the diameter of the second component sedimentation zone 3 is larger than the diameter of the packing zone 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting up an integrated feeding and discharging water washing tower, and setting the diameters of the first component sedimentation zone 1 and the second component sedimentation zone 3 to be larger than the packing zone 2, the problem of the liquid separation operation being greatly affected by manual labor is solved, and the work flow of the equipment is simplified. At the same time, the material and deionized water are fully in contact, energy is saved, and work efficiency is improved.

[0026] According to some embodiments of the present invention, deionized water enters the first disperser 22 from the lower end of the filling area 2 through the water inlet 21, and the first disperser 22 disperses the deionized water at the lower end of the filling area 2. The material enters the second disperser 24 from the upper end of the filling area 2 through the feed inlet 23, and the second disperser 24 disperses the material at the upper end of the filling area 2. The deionized water moves upward and the material moves downward to achieve countercurrent mixing. During the thorough mixing process, the deionized water washes the material, and the deionized water drives the impurities to continue to move upward and move to the first component sedimentation area 1. The diameter of the first component sedimentation zone 1 becomes larger and the rising speed decreases, which increases the washing time of the material, facilitates the separation of the material and deionized water, and prevents the deionized water from taking tetrabromobisphenol A away from the equipment. After sufficient washing, the deionized water continues to rise to the first discharge port 11, and the deionized water with impurities is discharged. Tetrabromobisphenol A continues to precipitate downward and precipitates to the second component sedimentation zone 3. The diameter of the second component sedimentation zone 3 becomes larger and the precipitation speed decreases, which increases the washing time of the material, facilitates the separation and stratification of tetrabromobisphenol A and deionized water. After stratification is completed, tetrabromobisphenol A is collected from the second discharge port 31.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first component is a light component, which includes salt components such as sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, and sodium bromide; the second component is a heavy component, which includes tetrabromobisphenol A; the light component is discharged from the first discharge port along with deionized water, and the heavy component sinks to the second component sedimentation area and is collected from the second discharge port.

[0028] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water washing of tetrabromobisphenol A is changed from multiple intermittent stirring tanks to a water washing tower with continuous feeding and discharging, thereby reducing the floor space occupied by the equipment.

[0029] According to a tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A provided by the utility model, the tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A also includes a first metering pump and a second metering pump. The first metering pump is provided at the second end of the water inlet 21, and the second metering pump is provided at the second end of the feed inlet 23.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting up the first metering pump and the second metering pump, the water inlet and the feed are controlled by the first metering pump and the second metering pump respectively, the water inlet and the feed ratio are accurate, energy is saved and work efficiency is improved.

[0031] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the water consumption per ton of product is reduced from about 1.2 tons to about 0.8 tons, the consumption index is reduced, and energy is saved.

[0032] According to the utility model, a tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A is provided, which further includes a first extraction pump and a second extraction pump. The first end of the first discharge port 11 is provided with the first extraction pump, and the first end of the second discharge port 31 is provided with the second extraction pump.

[0033] In this embodiment, by providing a first extraction pump and a second extraction pump, materials and deionized water with impurities are automatically collected, thereby realizing automation of the equipment.

[0034] According to the utility model, a tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A further comprises a thermometer 4 , which is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the second component settling zone 3 .

[0035] In this embodiment, a thermometer 4 is provided to detect the temperature inside the second component sedimentation zone 3 in real time.

[0036] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the temperature inside the second component sedimentation zone 3 is controlled at 35°C.

[0037] According to the utility model, a tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tower for washing tetrabromobisphenol A further comprises two interface meters 5 , which are arranged vertically and spaced apart on the outer side wall of the second component settling zone 3 .

[0038] In this embodiment, two interface meters 5 are provided to achieve precise control of the interface position, thereby preventing deionized water from entering the material layer and affecting product quality during the collection of tetrabromobisphenol A.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two interface meters 5 are provided to ensure that the interface layer is located between the two interface meters 5. The two interface meters 5 are electrically connected to the second extraction pump. When the interface is higher than the upper interface meter 5, the second extraction pump works. When the interface is lower than the lower interface meter 5, the second extraction pump stops working, thereby avoiding the separation of deionized water into tetrabromobisphenol A and affecting product quality.

[0040] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the interface meter 5 adopts an oil-water interface meter, which uses the principle of ultrasonic echo detection to detect the distance between the sensor probe and the oil-water interface and the distance between the bottom surface, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of changes in the interface position, and has the characteristics of high precision, high reliability, easy installation and maintenance, etc.

After sufficient mixing, the deionized water completes the washing of the material, and the deionized water drives the impurities to continue to move upward until the light component settles, the diameter of the first component settling area becomes larger and the rising speed decreases, the deionized water rises to the first discharge port, the first extraction pump works to discharge the deionized water out of the equipment for collection, tetrabromobisphenol A continues to precipitate downward and precipitate to the second component settling area, the diameter of the second component settling area becomes larger and the precipitation speed decreases, thereby increasing the washing time of the material, facilitating the separation and stratification of tetrabromobisphenol A and deionized water, and after stratification is completed, the second extraction pump works to collect tetrabromobisphenol A from the second discharge port.
