Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial-grade sodium tripolyphosphate production, and specifically to a production system for producing sodium tripolyphosphate using sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, industrial sodium pentasodium mainly produces sodium tripolyphosphate using soda ash and phosphoric acid as raw materials, but this method suffers from high production costs and weak market competitiveness. With increasing market competition, this production process has been gradually phased out, and the industry is vying to use other low-cost raw materials to produce sodium tripolyphosphate in order to improve product market competitiveness. Sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate production, is rich in phosphorus and sodium, and theoretically can replace phosphoric acid and soda ash in sodium tripolyphosphate production. However, due to the limitations of the production process, glyphosate-derived sodium pyrophosphate generally has low whiteness and high organic carbon content, making it unsuitable for direct use in sodium tripolyphosphate production. It requires a series of treatments in conjunction with the sodium tripolyphosphate production process before it can be used to produce qualified sodium tripolyphosphate products. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a production system for producing sodium tripolyphosphate using sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A production system for producing sodium tripolyphosphate from sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate, is disclosed. The system includes a crusher, the discharge port of which is connected to the feed port of a rotary kiln via a pneumatic conveying system. The discharge port of the rotary kiln is connected to a neutralization pot via a pipeline. The neutralization pot is connected to a flocculation tank via a pipeline and to a filtration device via pipelines. The filtrate discharge port of the filtration device is connected to a storage tank. The storage tank is connected to a polymerization furnace via a high-pressure pump via a pipeline.

[0006] Preferably, the neutralization pot is equipped with a phosphate tube.

[0007] Preferably, the flocculation tank is equipped with a flocculant feeding pipe.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention relates to a calcination-based whitening pretreatment of sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate production. The sodium pyrophosphate, after acid hydrolysis, replaces the traditional reaction of soda ash and phosphoric acid to prepare sodium tripolyphosphate solution. A flocculant is used to aggregate minute impurities in the sodium tripolyphosphate solution to improve filtration quality and rate. The filtered solution is then atomized, dehydrated at high temperature, and polymerized to produce sodium tripolyphosphate. This significantly reduces the raw material cost of sodium tripolyphosphate, with a simple and highly operable production process, ensuring stable and compliant product quality. It realizes the production of sodium tripolyphosphate using sodium pyrophosphate, a byproduct of glyphosate production. Attached Figure Description
