AI Technical Summary
During the production of L-valine, the purity of the mother liquor decreases during steam condensation and crystallization because the water in the original solution is not completely evaporated.
The saturation tank is designed with a conical bottom. Combined with a reflux pipe and an axial flow circulation pump, the saturated crystal slurry is heated or cooled by a heat exchange coil and then re-enters the crystallizer. A distribution plate is used to collect part of the saturated crystal slurry and it participates in the reaction again during the circulation cycle. The high-purity mother liquor is no longer circulated after the cycle ends.
This improved the purity of the mother liquor, ensuring the efficiency of the evaporation process and the quality of the mother liquor.
