TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In chemical production, dichloromethane is often used in various chemical reaction processes, and the production process often produces mixed gas containing dichloromethane, water vapor and air. These mixed gases are sucked into the safety tank by the vacuum unit, and are liquefied by the heat exchanger condensate above the safety tank, forming a mixed liquid of dichloromethane and water. Since dichloromethane and water are not miscible, the mixed liquid naturally separates in the safety tank. However, the recovered dichloromethane still contains a high moisture content compared to the finished product dichloromethane, affecting its subsequent use and quality.
[0003] In addition, in the prior art, the treatment of such mixed liquids mostly relies on manual judgment of the layering situation and manual operation of drainage, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to accurately control the drainage timing. Since the boiling point of dichloromethane is low, when the ambient temperature is high, such as in summer, the temperature of the collected dichloromethane in the safety tank rises, and the evaporation speed increases, causing gaseous dichloromethane to escape from the exhaust pipe of the safety tank, resulting in an increase in the cost of subsequent environmental treatment and loss of materials. In addition, manual operation is prone to errors, and when the worker fails to observe the liquid surface interface layer in time during the discharge process, the separated dichloromethane and water will be re-mixed in the subsequent system, seriously affecting the recovery efficiency of dichloromethane.
