AI Technical Summary
In existing crude alkyl glycoside primary dealcoholization systems, the way crude alkyl glycosides are distributed results in residues in the distribution area, causing problems during cleaning when switching between different product specifications or during maintenance, and easily leading to product damage.
The design adopts a top opening of the deethanolating tube higher than the upper tube sheet, and a rotating internal component in the shape of the side of the tube is set at the top opening of the deethanolating tube. Combined with a gas-liquid separator to treat alcohol vapor, it prevents crude alkyl glycosides from being retained on the inner wall of the deethanolating tube and improves the removal efficiency of fatty alcohols.
This reduces the residue of crude alkyl glycosides above the upper tube sheet, improves the removal rate of fatty alcohols, reduces the loss of alkyl glycosides, and enhances the system's operating efficiency and product yield.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to crude alkyl glycoside primary dealcoholization system. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are two process routes for producing alkyl glycoside, one route is two-step method (also known as acetal exchange method or transglycosylation method), and the other is one-step method (also known as direct method). The one-step method is to make fatty alcohol (usually C8-18 fatty alcohol) react with glucose in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain alkyl glycoside. Since the reaction is a reversible reaction, in order to fully convert glucose into glycoside, an excess of fatty alcohol is required, so there is a large amount of unreacted fatty alcohol in the product material. After neutralization of the material, these unreacted fatty alcohols need to be removed from the material. The removal of fatty alcohol usually requires a two-stage dealcoholization system, the first-stage dealcoholization system is a falling film dealcoholization system, and the second-stage dealcoholization system is a scraper dealcoholization system. At present, the mainstream device of the first-stage dealcoholization system is a falling film dealcoholization device with tubes. After the crude glycoside containing unreacted fatty alcohol enters the device, the material is distributed to the tubes through overflow, and then the material flows from the inner wall of the tubes in the form of a liquid film from top to bottom. The outside of the tubes is heated by high-temperature heat-conducting oil, and the entire device is in a negative pressure state (-98 to -99 Kpa). By reducing the pressure drop, the boiling point of the fatty alcohol is reduced to evaporate and remove the fatty alcohol from the crude glycoside. However, the dealcoholizer of the existing crude alkyl glycoside first-stage dealcoholization system uses a design in which the crude alkyl glycoside inlet is lower than the upper opening of the dealcoholization tube, thereby distributing the crude alkyl glycoside between the dealcoholization tubes through overflow. However, this distribution method inevitably causes a large amount of crude alkyl glycoside to accumulate on the upper surface of the upper tube plate, which causes difficulties in cleaning during switching between different specifications of products or maintenance of the falling film tube dealcoholization device, and also easily causes significant product loss due to cleaning. SUMMARY

[0145] Except for the addition of process parameters for the gas-liquid separator, the process parameters are the same as those in 2.2.2. Specifically:
[0146] Crude glycosides enter the dealcoholizer at a flow rate of 800 kg / h. The oil temperature in the dealcoholizer is controlled at 165°C, the circulating water temperature in the dealcoholizer condenser is set at 25°C, and the absolute pressure of the vacuum system is 3 kPa. The heat transfer oil used to heat the gas-liquid static separator is at a temperature of 165°C.
[0147] Tests showed that after primary alcohol removal, the alcohol removal rate of crude glycosides was 89%, and the residual alkyl glycosides in the recovered fatty alcohols were 0.1%.
