[0089] The method of using the maleic anhydride purification device provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0090] Step 1: Set the maleic anhydride purification device 1 to the initial state: close the heating vessel discharge valve 17, the first collection vessel discharge valve 35, the first collection vessel feed valve 33 and the second collection vessel discharge valve 87, and open the vacuum tube valve 84;

[0091] Step 2: Add maleic anhydride containing impurities into the heating vessel body 11 through the feed port of the heating vessel body 11. Turn on the vacuum source, and the heating vessel heating jacket 13 and the collecting vessel heating jacket 32 ​​start working. The condensate supply unit 91 starts to supply and recover condensate to the first condenser tube 61 and the second condenser tube 71 through pipelines. In this embodiment, the negative pressure provided by the vacuum source is -0.099MPa, the heating temperature of the heating vessel heating jacket 13 is 110°C, the heating temperature of the collecting vessel heating jacket 32 ​​is 60°C, the temperature of the condensate used in the first condenser tube 61 is 50°C, and the temperature of the condensate used in the second condenser tube 71 is 65°C.

[0092] Step 3: Open the feed valve 33 of the first collecting vessel. The material in the heating vessel body 11 is heated and vaporized. It enters the first condenser 61 through the three-way pipe. Some of the gaseous maleic anhydride is liquefied in the first condenser 61 and enters the first collecting vessel body 31 under the action of gravity. The maleic anhydride that is not liquefied in the first condenser 61 will enter the second condenser 71 through the connecting pipe under the guidance of negative pressure and sublimate into a solid in the top area. Then, under the action of the condensate in the second condenser 71, it is liquefied into maleic anhydride and enters the second collecting vessel body 81 under the action of gravity.

[0093] Step 4: Turn off the vacuum source 85, close the feed valve 33 of the first collection vessel, open the discharge valve 35 of the first collection vessel and the discharge valve 87 of the second collection vessel, and collect the maleic anhydride in the body 31 of the first collection vessel and the body 81 of the second collection vessel, which is the purified maleic anhydride.

[0094] <Test Example>

[0095] Purification test of maleic anhydride

[0096] In this test example, commercially available maleic anhydride was purified using the maleic anhydride purification apparatus described in Example 1 and a conventional distillation apparatus, respectively.

[0097] In this test example, the method for purifying commercially available maleic anhydride using the maleic anhydride purification apparatus of Example 1 is as described in Example 1.

[0098] In this test case, a total of 40 kg of commercially available maleic anhydride was added to the maleic anhydride purification device 1, and 39.5 kg of purified maleic anhydride was finally recovered.

[0099] In this test example, the conventional distillation apparatus used consists of only a heating vessel, a reflux condenser connected to the heating vessel, a collecting vessel connected to the reflux condenser, and a vacuum source connected to the collecting vessel for providing negative pressure to the apparatus. In this test example, when distilling using the conventional distillation apparatus, the heating temperature of the heating vessel is 110°C, the temperature of the condensate in the condenser is 65°C, and the negative pressure provided by the vacuum source is -0.099 MPa.

[0100] In this test case, a total of 40 kg of commercially available maleic anhydride was added to the conventional distillation apparatus, and 37 kg of purified maleic anhydride was finally recovered.

[0101] The metal ion content in commercially available maleic anhydride and purified maleic anhydride is shown in Table 1.

[0102] Table 1 Metal Ion Content

[0103] Na / ppb K / ppb Fe / ppb Ca / ppb Commercially available maleic anhydride 112 22 228 769 Maleic anhydride purified by conventional distillation 36 6 81 163 Maleic anhydride purified by the apparatus in Example 1 <1 <1 2 <1

[0104] As shown in Table 1, the maleic anhydride purification device provided in Example 1 can effectively reduce its ion content while ensuring a high recovery rate. The reason why conventional distillation devices have poor deionization efficiency and large distillation losses may be because they cannot suppress material sublimation. Sublimated material will block the pipeline and further cause flushing, thereby carrying ions from the heating vessel into the collecting vessel.

[0105] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0106] According to the maleic anhydride purification device involved in the above embodiments, because it has a second condenser connected to the first condenser, the maleic anhydride purification device provided in the above embodiments can not only purify maleic anhydride and reduce its ion content, but also prevent maleic anhydride from sublimating in the first condenser.

[0107] Furthermore, since the second collecting vessel includes a vacuum source, which can provide negative pressure to the second collecting vessel and the space connected to it, maleic anhydride can be vaporized at a lower temperature, saving energy consumption in production.

[0108] Furthermore, since the vacuum source is installed on the body of the second collecting vessel through a vacuum tube, and the vacuum tube is installed at the top side opening of the body of the second collecting vessel, this can both prevent the vacuum tube opening from being blocked by the material entering the second collecting vessel and prevent the material entering the second collecting vessel from being sucked out.

[0109] Furthermore, since the heating vessel includes a stirring element, the material inside the heating vessel can be heated more evenly during heating, making it less prone to coking, thereby improving the recovery rate of purified maleic anhydride.

[0110] Furthermore, since the tee includes a spherical tube, the gas and liquid phases will converge inside the spherical tube. The presence of the spherical tube can play a good buffering role, preventing excessive local pressure in the system from causing safety accidents.

[0111] Furthermore, since the connecting pipe includes a first connecting section and a second connecting section, and the two are detachably connected, it can be easily installed, disassembled, and cleaned.

[0112] Furthermore, since the temperature of the condensate in the first condenser is lower than that in the second condenser, a large amount of gaseous maleic anhydride can be condensed into liquid and allowed to enter the first collecting vessel. Unliquefied maleic anhydride will enter the second condenser under negative pressure and undergo sublimation. The condensate in the second condenser needs a higher temperature to reliquefy the sublimated maleic anhydride and allow it to enter the second collecting vessel. If the second condenser is not installed, and only the condensate in the first condenser is increased, although the sublimation of maleic anhydride in the condenser can be reduced, the gaseous maleic anhydride cannot be liquefied in time, resulting in a significant increase in pressure within the condenser and the three-way pipe, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0113] Furthermore, since the bottom of the first collecting vessel has a first collecting vessel discharge pipe and the bottom of the second collecting vessel has a second collecting vessel discharge pipe, the purified maleic anhydride can be collected directly by discharging from the discharge pipe, which greatly simplifies the steps and improves efficiency.

[0114] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
