[0019] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other.

[0020] As Figures 1-2 shown, an acrylic acid production purification device according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0021] The preliminary distillation tower 1 is fixedly connected with the stirrer 2, the stirrer 2 is connected with the extraction tower 3, the top of the extraction tower 3 is fixedly connected with the solvent separation tower 4, the bottom of the extraction tower 3 is fixedly connected with the extraction recovery mechanism 5, the bottom of the solvent separation tower 4 is fixedly connected with the acetic acid recovery tower 6, the bottom of the acetic acid recovery tower 6 is fixedly connected with the heavy component removal tower 7, and the top of the heavy component removal tower 7 is fixedly connected with the rectification tower 8. The crude acrylic acid is obtained through forced circulation evaporation of the preliminary distillation tower 1, and the polymerization of acrylic acid is prevented by continuously adding a polymerization inhibitor during the circulation evaporation. After the circulation evaporation, the crude acrylic acid is purified by the polymerization inhibitor section, that is, the crude acrylic acid is sent to the stirrer 2 for stirring, and then is sent to the extraction tower 3 after being stirred to a suitable viscosity. At the same time, an extractant is added to the extraction tower 3 for extraction, so that the acrylic acid mixture is extracted into the organic phase, and the crude acrylic acid is preliminarily purified. The organic phase of the acrylic acid enters the solvent separation tower 4, and the solvent separation tower 4 is provided with a fractionation mechanism to separate the extractant in the organic phase of the acrylic acid from the mixed solution of acetic acid, acrylic acid and the like. The separated extractant and the residual organic phase in the extraction tower 3 are recovered in the extraction recovery mechanism 5. The recovered extractant is added to the extraction tower 3 for reuse, and the mixed solution of acetic acid, acrylic acid and the like enters the acetic acid recovery tower 6 for recovery of acetic acid. The acetic acid is discharged from the acetic acid recovery tower 6, and a finished product of acetic acid can be obtained subsequently. The remaining material continuously enters the heavy component removal tower 7 for heavy component removal, so that the high-concentration acrylic acid light component passes through the top of the heavy component removal tower 7 to the rectification tower 8, and other heavy component substances such as dimers and polymerization inhibitors are discharged from the bottom of the heavy component removal tower 7. The high-concentration acrylic acid light component is subjected to rectification and impurity removal in the rectification tower 8 again to form acrylic acid with extremely high purity, so that a finished product of acrylic acid with extremely high purity can be obtained subsequently. The device uses forced circulation evaporation, a polymerization inhibitor section and rectification and impurity removal to form a high-concentration solvent of by-product acrylic acid in the industrial production of propylene aldehyde. The high-concentration solvent can be used for industrial production, has high purification efficiency and reduces the cost of industrial production, thereby solving the problems of a complex purification system, easy residual polymerization inhibitor, acetic acid and other substances, low purity of the final product, low work efficiency and high industrial production cost in the prior art.

[0022] As Figure 1As shown, the primary distillation column 1 is a circulating distillation column, and the bottom outlet of the primary distillation column 1 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet of the stirrer 2. The primary distillation column 1 is used for circulating evaporation, and when the solvent obtained in the industrial production of acrolein is a mixed solvent with many impurities, the circulating distillation can preliminarily remove the impurities, so that the mixed solvent forms a crude acrylate solvent.

The extraction column 3 is used for water-soluble extraction of acrylate, and the solvent separation column 4 is used for separating the extractant in the acrylate solvent. After the crude acrylate solvent is stirred, it is easy to be water-soluble extracted, and after the crude acrylate solvent is mixed with the extractant, the pure acrylate and acetic acid in the crude acrylate solvent will move from the water phase to the organic phase, so that most of the impurities are separated, and a high-concentration acrylate mixed solvent is obtained. After the distillation of the solvent separation column 4, the extractant in the high-concentration acrylate mixed solvent is separated, so as to further increase the concentration of acrylate in the mixed solvent. The extraction recovery mechanism 5 is provided with a distillation, and the extraction recovery mechanism 5 is provided with an extractant outlet and a waste water outlet, respectively, and the extractant outlet is fixedly connected to the extraction column 3.

The bottom of the first recovery column 61 is fixedly connected to the heavy component removal tower 7. The high-concentration acrylate mixed solvent separates acetic acid substances through the first recovery column 61, the acetic acid substances are further purified and impurities are removed through the second recovery column 62, which is convenient for subsequent processes to produce acetic acid raw materials that can be used in industry, and the remaining substances are transported to the heavy component removal tower 7 through the bottom of the first recovery column 61.

[0024] Further, the top of the heavy component removal tower 7 is fixedly connected to the rectification column 8, and the bottom of the heavy component removal tower 7 is provided with a heavy component outlet. The heavy component removal tower 7 is used for heavy component removal, so that the high-purity acrylate is further removed, the light components formed therein enter the rectification column 8 through the top of the heavy component removal tower 7 for further impurity removal, and the heavy components formed are discharged through the heavy component outlet, at this time, the acrylate content in the light components is extremely high.

[0025] Further, the rectification tower 8 includes a cooler 81 fixedly connected to the top of the heavy tower 7 and a rectification tower body 82 fixedly connected to the cooler 81, and the top end of the rectification tower body 82 is provided with a finished product discharge outlet. The light components form an aqueous solution after passing through the cooler 81, and are further rectified through the rectification tower body 82, so that the content of acrylic acid is further increased, thereby facilitating the formation of high-purity acrylic acid finished product in the subsequent process.
