[0002] Caprolactam is one of important organic chemical raw materials, and its main use is to generate polyamide chip (usually called nylon-6 chip, or chinlon-6 chip) through polymerization, which can be further processed into chinlon fiber, engineering plastic and plastic film.
[0003] Ion exchange action is needed to remove anion and cation impurities in caprolactam aqueous solution in the caprolactam refining section, but when the ion exchange tower reaches saturation, regeneration is needed.

[0028] The embodiment provides a caprolactam ion exchange dewatering regeneration system, which comprises a first set of ion exchange towers, a second set of ion exchange towers, a series pipeline group and a drain pipeline 16.
[0029] The first set of ion exchange towers comprises a first ion exchange tower 1, a second ion exchange tower 2 and a third ion exchange tower 3. The feed inlet of the first ion exchange tower 1 is connected with a first caprolactam water pipeline 22, the outlet of the first ion exchange tower 1 is connected with the feed inlet of the second ion exchange tower 2 through a first pipeline 7, and the outlet of the second ion exchange tower 2 is connected with the feed inlet of the third ion exchange tower 3 through a second pipeline 8. Two first switch valves 14 are arranged on the first pipeline 7 and the second pipeline 8 respectively.
[0030] The second set of ion exchange towers comprises a fourth ion exchange tower 4, a fifth ion exchange tower 5 and a sixth ion exchange tower 6. The feed inlet of the fourth ion exchange tower 4 is connected with a second caprolactam water pipeline 23, and the outlet of the fourth ion exchange tower 4 is connected with the feed inlet of the fifth ion exchange tower 5 through a third pipeline 10. The outlet of the fifth ion exchange tower 5 is connected with the feed inlet of the sixth ion exchange tower 6 through a fourth pipeline 11, and two second switch valves 15 are arranged on the third pipeline 10 and the fourth pipeline 11 respectively.
[0031] The series pipeline group comprises a first series pipeline 12 and a second series pipeline 13. One end of the first series pipeline 12 is connected with a part of the first pipeline 7 between the two first switch valves 14, and the other end is connected with a part of the third pipeline 10 between the two second switch valves 15.
[0032] One end of the second series pipeline 13 is connected with a part of the second pipeline 8 between the two first switch valves 14, and the other end of the second series pipeline 13 is connected with a part of the fourth pipeline 11 between the two second switch valves 15.
[0033] The drain pipeline 16 is connected with the first ion exchange tower 1, the second ion exchange tower 2, the third ion exchange tower 3, the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the fifth ion exchange tower 5 and the sixth ion exchange tower 6 respectively, and the drain pipeline 16 realizes the individual dehydration of the six ion exchange towers.
[0034] The first pipeline 7 and the third pipeline 10 are connected through the first series pipeline 12, and the second pipeline 8 and the fourth pipeline 11 are connected through the second series pipeline 13 in the caprolactam ion exchange dehydration regeneration system of the embodiment, so that any combination of the six ion exchange towers can be realized, and the six ion exchange towers are connected with the dehydration pipelines respectively, so that the individual dehydration of any tower can be realized, thereby reducing the ion exchange regeneration frequency and the ion exchange operation cost. During the regeneration, the dehydration rate is improved, the ion exchange regeneration time is shortened, the nitrogen consumption is reduced, and the cost is saved.
[0035] For example, by switching the switch valves on the four communication pipelines, the first ion exchange tower 1, the second ion exchange tower 2 and the third ion exchange tower 3 can be combined, the first ion exchange tower 1, the fifth ion exchange tower 5 and the third ion exchange tower 3 can be combined, the first ion exchange tower 1, the second ion exchange tower 2 and the sixth ion exchange tower 6 can be combined, the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the fifth ion exchange tower 5 and the sixth ion exchange tower 6 can be combined, the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the second ion exchange tower 2 and the sixth ion exchange tower 6 can be combined, the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the fifth ion exchange tower 5 and the third ion exchange tower 3 can be combined, and the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the second ion exchange tower 2 and the third ion exchange tower 3 can be combined.
[0036] It should be noted that the dehydration valves 25 are arranged at the connection positions of the six ion exchange towers and the dehydration pipelines in the embodiment. When the dehydration of a certain ion exchange tower is needed, the corresponding dehydration valve 25 is opened, so that the dehydration of any single tower is realized, the dehydration efficiency is improved, and the regeneration time is shortened.
[0037] In some embodiments, the caprolactam ion exchange dehydration regeneration system further includes a neutralization tank 21, and the end of the drain pipeline 16 is connected with the neutralization tank 21. The wastewater generated by the six ion exchange towers can be discharged into the neutralization tank 21 for recovery.
[0038] Preferably, in some embodiments, the neutralization tank 21 includes two parts of a dilute tank 210 and a concentrated tank 211. The end of the drain pipeline 16 is divided into a first pipeline 17 connected with the dilute tank 210 and a second pipeline 18 connected with the concentrated tank 211. The first pipeline 17 is provided with a first switch valve 19, and the second pipeline 18 is provided with a second switch valve 20.
[0039] In this way, before the wastewater generated by the six ion exchange towers is discharged into the neutralization tank 21, it can be determined according to the wastewater index whether it is appropriate to be discharged into the dilute tank 210 or the concentrated tank 211, so that the discharge of the ion exchange wastewater can be switched arbitrarily. When the wastewater is discharged into the dilute tank 210, the first switch valve 19 is opened and the second switch valve 20 is closed; when the wastewater is discharged into the concentrated tank 211, the second switch valve 20 is opened and the first switch valve 19 is closed.
[0040] In some embodiments, a neutralization tank 21 is located below each of the six ion exchange towers, and a drain line 16 is connected to the bottom of each of the six ion exchange towers. In this way, the wastewater can flow down by its own gravity and be discharged into the neutralization tank 21, thereby reducing the amount of nitrogen gas required for dewatering each tower, or achieving dewatering of any ion exchange tower without nitrogen gas, reducing material consumption and saving production costs.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first caprolactam water line 22 connected to the first ion exchange tower 1 and the second caprolactam water line 23 connected to the fourth ion exchange tower 4 are the same line.
[0042] Further, in some embodiments, the caprolactam ion exchange dewatering and regeneration system further comprises a nitrogen gas line (not shown in the figure). The nitrogen gas line is connected to the first ion exchange tower 1, the second ion exchange tower 2, the third ion exchange tower 3, the fourth ion exchange tower 4, the fifth ion exchange tower 5 and the sixth ion exchange tower 6, respectively, for injecting nitrogen gas into each ion exchange tower to dewater the resin in each ion exchange tower. Each ion exchange tower is provided with a corresponding exhaust pipe, and the nitrogen gas entering the ion exchange tower can be discharged through the exhaust pipe.
[0043] In some embodiments, the caprolactam ion exchange dewatering and regeneration system further comprises a buffer tank 24, and the discharge outlet of the third ion exchange tower 3 and the discharge outlet of the sixth ion exchange tower 6 are connected to the buffer tank 24 through a discharge line 9, respectively. The caprolactam aqueous solution in the first set of ion exchange towers and the caprolactam aqueous solution in the second ion exchange tower 2 are finally discharged into the buffer tank 24 through the discharge line 9.
[0044] The above description is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive, and those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, replacements and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, the above examples (or one or more aspects thereof) can be used in combination with each other, and these embodiments can be combined with each other in various combinations or arrangements.
