[0010] The bottom of the first distillation tower and the bottom of the second hydrolysis tower are connected to the sulfuric acid heat exchanger through pipelines to recover concentrated sulfuric acid.
[0011] The reflux tank is connected to the upper part of the first distillation tower through a pipeline to achieve partial circulation; the lower part of the second upper tower of the hydrolysis tower is connected to the heater through a pipeline and is also connected to the second upper tower of the hydrolysis tower.

[0015] A drying waste sulfuric acid concentration process of a chloromethane synthesis device, comprising the following process route:
[0016] (a) The waste sulfuric acid of chloromethane synthesis is heated and enters the rectification tower one after heat exchange with concentrated high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid, and after rectification and heating concentration, 96% or more concentrated sulfuric acid is obtained, and the 96% or more concentrated sulfuric acid is filtered and cooled to obtain qualified concentrated sulfuric acid;
[0017] (b) After condensation, part of the gas phase at the top of the rectification tower one is mixed with water and enters the upper tower of the hydrolysis tower two for hydrolysis, and the other part is refluxed to the rectification tower one;
[0018] (b) Part of the material in the upper tower of the hydrolysis tower two enters the lower tower of the hydrolysis tower, and the material in the lower tower of the hydrolysis tower is heated and concentrated to obtain 96% or more concentrated sulfuric acid, and the 96% or more concentrated sulfuric acid is filtered and cooled to obtain qualified concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0020] In step (a), the initial temperature of the waste sulfuric acid is 20-40℃, and the temperature of the waste sulfuric acid after heat exchange and temperature rise through the sulfuric acid heat exchanger 4 with the high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid collected from the tower bottoms of the rectification tower one 1 and the lower tower of the hydrolysis tower 3 is 80-100℃, the waste sulfuric acid is heated to the required feed temperature of the rectification tower one 1 through coupled heat exchange, the steam consumption is reduced, and the stable operation of the rectification tower one 1 is facilitated.

The composition entering the lower column of the second hydrolysis column is 5-15% of water, 10-15% of methanol and 75-80% of sulfuric acid.
[0023] The bottom temperature of the lower column of the second hydrolysis column is controlled at 100-130℃, and the pressure of the lower column of the hydrolysis column is-0.08--0.1MPa. The high vacuum degree reduces the boiling point of sulfuric acid and increases the relative volatility between components, so that the concentration of the concentrated sulfuric acid collected from the column bottom reaches more than 95%, and the gas phase composition at the column top is 20-30% of water and 70-80% of methanol.
