[0022] The technical scheme of the utility model will be further explained and described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments, but the utility model is not limited to the following described embodiments.

[0023] In the production process of dimethyl oxalate to polyglycolic acid, the purification of glycolide is a key link. In normal production operation, crude glycolide with a purity of 70-80% is purified by adopting the mode of double sets of devices alternating operation. By injecting solvent into the crude glycolide, the impurities in the crude glycolide are dissolved in the solvent, and the glycolide is insoluble in the solvent, so that the preliminary separation of the impurities and the glycolide is realized. Subsequently, the mixed solution of the solvent and the crude glycolide is transported to a drying kettle, and the glycolide is separated out by heating and / or reduced pressure distillation, so that the glycolide with a purity of 95% is finally obtained, and the purification of the glycolide is realized.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 A glycolide purification system, comprising: a first stirred tank 1, a second stirred tank 2, a feeding assembly, a discharging assembly, a solvent adding assembly and a central control platform.

[0025] Specifically, the central control platform in the utility model is a term known to those skilled in the art, which refers to a platform for centralized control and management of various links such as production equipment and production logistics in the production process of a factory.

[0026] Specifically, the impurities contained in the crude glycolide include methanol, water, oligomers, methyl glycolate, dimethyl oxalate and methoxy methyl glycolate, and the solvent in the utility model is dichloromethane.

[0027] Specifically, the mass ratio of the crude glycolide to the solvent can be 1:1.2, 1:1.3 or 1:1.4, and the appropriate mass ratio is set according to the production requirements to achieve the expected purity of glycolide. Preferably, the mass ratio of the crude glycolide to the solvent is 1:1.3, the amount of crude glycolide entering the first stirred tank and the second stirred tank is 1.3T, and the amount of solvent is 1.69T, i.e. M1=M2=1.3T and N1=N2=1.69T.

[0028] Referring to Figure 1The feed assembly comprises a first main pipe, a first feed valve 11, a second feed valve 21 and a first flow meter 3. The first main pipe is provided with a first branch pipe branching to the first stirred tank 1 and a second branch pipe branching to the second stirred tank 2; the first feed valve 11 is installed on the first branch pipe, the second feed valve 21 is installed on the second branch pipe, and the first flow meter 3 is installed on the first main pipe; wherein the first feed valve 11, the second feed valve 21 and the first flow meter 3 are connected with the central control platform.

[0029] With reference to Figure 1 The solvent adding assembly comprises a second main pipe, a first solvent feed valve, a second solvent feed valve and a second flow meter 4. The second main pipe is provided with a third branch pipe branching to the first stirred tank 1 and a fourth branch pipe branching to the second stirred tank 2; the first solvent feed valve is installed on the third branch pipe, the second solvent feed valve is installed on the fourth branch pipe, and the second flow meter 4 is installed on the second main pipe; wherein the first solvent feed valve, the second solvent feed valve and the second flow meter 4 are connected with the central control platform.

[0030] With reference to Figure 1 The discharge assembly comprises a first discharge pipeline, a second discharge pipeline, a first discharge valve 12 and a second discharge valve 22. The first discharge pipeline is communicated with the first stirred tank 1, and the second discharge pipeline is communicated with the second stirred tank 2; the first discharge valve 12 is installed on the first discharge pipeline, the second discharge valve 22 is installed on the second discharge pipeline, and the first discharge valve 12 and the second discharge valve 22 are connected with the central control platform.

[0031] With reference to Figure 1 The inner walls of the first stirred tank 1 and the second stirred tank 2 are connected with temperature sensors; the temperature sensors are connected with the central control platform and are used for measuring the temperatures in the first stirred tank 1 and the second stirred tank 2 in real time.

[0032] Specifically, according to the temperature of the slurry in the stirred tank, the temperature values in the first stirred tank 1 and the second stirred tank 2 are set as 30 DEG C, that is, the temperature requirement of the mixed liquid is met; that is, T1=T2=30 DEG C.

[0033] In the utility model, the temperature sensors detect the temperatures in the first stirred tank 1 and the second stirred tank 2 in real time, and are used in cooperation with the time sensors; once the temperature and the reaction time both reach the preset values, the central control platform automatically controls the corresponding first discharge valve 12 and the second discharge valve 22 to open to discharge the mixed liquid. The automatic process of the temperature and time double control significantly improves the production efficiency and simultaneously ensures the stability and consistency of the product quality.

[0034] With reference to Figure 1The time sensor is connected with the central control platform, and is used for measuring the reaction time of the crude glycolide and the solvent in the first stirred tank 1 and the second stirred tank 2. When the first solvent valve or the second solvent valve is closed, the central control platform automatically triggers the beating and washing operation of the crude glycolide and the solvent, and the time sensor starts timing at the moment when the crude glycolide and the solvent in the first stirred tank 1 or the second stirred tank 2 start beating and washing. The beating and washing operation of the crude glycolide and the solvent can promote the impurities in the crude glycolide to dissolve in the solvent, and further improve the purity of the glycolide. The beating and washing operation is a known operation in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Specifically, according to the beating and washing time in the stirred tank, after the solvent is added and the corresponding first solvent valve 13 or second solvent valve 23 is closed, the time sensor is timed for 1 hour, that is, the reaction time requirement of the mixed liquid is met; that is, H1 = H2 = 1 hour.

[0036] In the utility model, when the solvent is added and the corresponding first solvent valve 13 or second solvent valve 23 is closed, the time sensor starts timing, and is used in cooperation with the temperature sensor. Once the temperature and the reaction time reach the preset value, the central control platform automatically controls the corresponding first discharge valve 12 and second discharge valve 22 to open, and the mixed liquid is discharged. The automatic process of the temperature and time double control significantly improves the production efficiency, and at the same time ensures the stability and consistency of the product quality.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 The glycolide purification system further comprises a drying tank. The drying tank is in communication with the first discharge pipeline and the second discharge pipeline, and is used for further processing the mixed liquid discharged from the first discharge pipeline and / or the second discharge pipeline.

[0038] Specifically, after the mixed liquid discharged from the first discharge pipeline and / or the second discharge pipeline enters the drying tank, heating and reduced pressure distillation operations are performed. These operations are conventional processes in the art. The solvent (such as dichloromethane) is evaporated by heating, and the glycolide is further purified by using the reduced pressure distillation technology to remove residual trace impurities. After the drying tank treatment, glycolide with a purity of 95% is obtained.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Referring to Figure 1The glycolide purification system of the embodiment, the feed assembly includes a first main pipe, a first feed valve 11, a second feed valve 21 and two first flow meters 3. The first main pipe is provided with a first branch pipe branching to the first stirred tank 1 and a second branch pipe branching to the second stirred tank 2; the first feed valve 11 is installed on the first branch pipe, the second feed valve 21 is installed on the second branch pipe, and the two first flow meters 3 are respectively installed on the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe; wherein the first feed valve 11, the second feed valve 21 and the two first flow meters 3 are connected with the central control platform.

[0041] Specifically, the two first flow meters 3 are respectively installed on the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe, when starting feeding, the central control platform monitors the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe respectively; when the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the first branch pipe reaches the set crude glycolide amount M1, the central control platform controls the first feed valve 11 to close, and clears the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the first branch pipe; when the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the second branch pipe reaches the set crude glycolide amount M2, the central control platform controls the second feed valve 21 to close, and clears the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the second branch pipe.

[0042] In the embodiment, one first flow meter 3 is arranged on each of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe, which facilitates the central control platform to monitor the flow of the solvent in the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe in real time, when the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on any branch pipe reaches the preset crude glycolide amount (M1 or M2), the central control platform can immediately control the corresponding feed valve (the first feed valve 11 or the second feed valve 21) to close, and clear the real-time flow of the first flow meter 3 on the corresponding branch pipe. This real-time monitoring and accurate control method can accurately control the amount of crude glycolide added in each stirred tank, and can avoid unnecessary downtime, thereby further improving the operation efficiency of the entire glycolide purification system.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 The glycolide purification system of the embodiment, the solvent adding assembly includes a second main pipe, a first solvent feed valve, a second solvent feed valve and two second flow meters 4.

[0045] Specifically, two second flow meters 4 are installed on the third and fourth branch pipes respectively. When solvent is added, the central control platform monitors the real-time flow of the second flow meters 4 on the third and fourth branch pipes respectively. When the real-time flow of the second flow meter 4 on the third branch pipe reaches the set solvent volume N1, the central control platform controls the first solvent valve 13 to close and resets the real-time flow of the second flow meter 4 on the third branch pipe to zero. When the real-time flow of the second flow meter 4 on the fourth branch pipe reaches the set solvent volume N2, the central control platform controls the second solvent valve 23 to close and resets the real-time flow of the second flow meter 4 on the fourth branch pipe to zero.

[0046] In this embodiment, a second flow meter 4 is installed on each of the third and fourth branch pipes to facilitate real-time monitoring of the solvent flow rate in the third and fourth branch pipes by the central control platform. When the real-time flow rate of the second flow meter 4 on either branch pipe reaches the preset solvent amount (N1 or N2), the central control platform can immediately control the corresponding solvent valve (first solvent valve 13 or second solvent valve 23) to close and reset the real-time flow rate of the second flow meter 4 on the corresponding branch pipe to zero. This real-time monitoring and precise control method can accurately control the amount of solvent added to each stirred tank, while avoiding unnecessary downtime, thereby further improving the operating efficiency of the entire glycolide purification system.
