Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cooling crystallization technology, and in particular relates to a solution cooling crystallization device for preparing o-methylphenylacetic acid. Background Technology
[0002] o-Tolueneacetic acid is usually presented as white or pale yellow blocky crystals. It is mainly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and can also be used as an intermediate in other organic synthesis. Cooling crystallization is a common method for producing o-tolueneacetic acid, which has the advantages of high-purity separation, strong applicability, energy saving and environmental protection.
[0003] Chinese patent CN213609896U discloses a high-efficiency crystallization device for the production of o-tolueneacetic acid, including a base, a support frame fixedly mounted on the base, a crystallization vessel rotatably mounted inside the support frame, a support slide rail fixedly mounted at the bottom of the crystallization vessel, and support wheels on the base. During operation, a cylinder pushes the crystallization vessel to swing back and forth on the support frame, increasing the cooling area at the bottom of the crystallization vessel and improving the efficiency of cooling and crystallization. The support wheels and support slide rail enhance the stability of the crystallization vessel during swinging. Before use, rotating the screw presses the bottom of the screw against a rubber block, leveling the base and preventing wobbling, thus improving the stability of the base.

When discharging the material, the crystallization vessel needs to be tilted and scraped out, which is inconvenient and reduces production efficiency.
