Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical equipment technology, specifically relating to a device for recycling light oil. Background Technology

[0002] Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material. During its preparation, a large amount of light oil is generated. This light oil comprises light components, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, cyclohexane, and a small amount of water. The molecular weight and boiling point of the light components are quite similar to those of cyclohexanone, making them difficult to separate through conventional distillation. They are generally discharged directly as light components, which reduces the yield of cyclohexanone and causes economic losses for enterprises, contradicting the resource conservation goals of modern enterprises. Therefore, how to recover cyclohexanone from light oil has become a pressing technical problem for modern enterprises.

[0003] Patent CN 118496077A discloses a process for producing cyclohexanone. This patent, by setting specific detection indicators and employing different separation routes for different indicators, aims to fully recover cyclohexanone from light oil, improve the yield and purity of cyclohexanone products, and further reduce energy consumption in crude alcohol-ketone separation, decrease recycling volume, improve cyclohexanol purity, and increase the activity and lifespan of the cyclohexanol dehydrogenation catalyst. It also offers flexible operation and reduces operating costs. However, this method requires different separation routes for different indicators, making the process complex and necessitating changes in processing paths. This places high demands on operation and undoubtedly increases processing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The bottom of the distillation column is connected to a reboiler for heating the condensate at the bottom of the distillation column.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer tank I is provided with a foaming agent inlet, and a foaming agent evaporator is connected between the buffer tank I and the mixer for heating the foaming agent.

[0011] Furthermore, the reboiler is connected to the foaming agent evaporator, and the condensate generated by the reboiler provides heat to the foaming agent evaporator.

[0012] Furthermore, the mixer is equipped with a stirrer.

[0013] Furthermore, the mixer's agitator has a floating valve tray at the lower end of its agitator blade to effectively guide the gaseous foaming agent into the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance between the lower end of the agitator and the floating valve tray is 350mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the extraction tower is filled with polysaddle ring packing.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the extraction tower is equipped with an extractant inlet for adding extractant.

[0017] Furthermore, a condenser is connected between the distillation column and buffer tank II.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] (1) Add light oil into mixer 3 through the light oil inlet of mixer 3. After adding to 800 mm, turn on the agitator (the diameter of the agitator is 1500 mm) to stir. The speed is controlled at 30 r / min.

[0027] (2) Add the foaming agent in the buffer tank I1 to the foaming agent evaporator 2. Heat the condensate at the bottom of the distillation column 5 through the reboiler 7 to provide heat for the foaming agent, so that the temperature of the foaming agent reaches 80°C, and the foaming agent becomes a gas phase and enters the mixer 3 through the floating valve plate 9 at the bottom of the mixer 3 (the height of the floating valve plate 9 is 300mm and the distance from the bottom of the agitator is 350mm).

The azeotropic point of cyclohexanone is about 95℃, so the temperature of the bottom of the tower is controlled at 90℃. The cyclohexanone in the bottom of the tower enters the alcohol tower for recovery.
