Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment devices, specifically to a methylamine wastewater treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Methylamine wastewater, a common type of organic wastewater in industrial production, contains a large amount of methylamine substances. This type of wastewater is not only highly toxic and would cause serious environmental pollution if discharged directly, but also difficult to treat due to its complex composition.

[0003] Traditional methylamine wastewater treatment equipment often employs single or simple combinations of treatment processes. Common methods include simple chemical neutralization, biological treatment, and simple distillation. Chemical neutralization can only adjust the pH value of the wastewater and cannot effectively remove methylamine pollutants; biological treatment has high requirements for water quality and a long treatment cycle; simple distillation can separate some substances, but its efficiency is low. The most significant technical deficiency of traditional methylamine wastewater treatment equipment lies in the lack of systematic optimization and integration of the wastewater treatment process, making it difficult to guarantee the stability and efficiency of the treatment effect.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 A methylamine wastewater treatment device includes a wastewater storage tank 1 for storing methylamine wastewater to be treated. The wastewater storage tank 1 has an inlet 2 at the top and an outlet 3 at the bottom. The outlet 3 is connected to a preheater 4 via a pipe. The preheater 4 has an electric heating plate inside for preheating the wastewater. The other end of the preheater 4 is connected to a distillation column 5 via a liquid pump 11. The bottom of the distillation column 5 has a second outlet 6. The second outlet 6 is connected to a reboiler 7. The other end of the reboiler 7 is connected back to the distillation column 5 via a pipe. The upper steam outlet of the distillation column 5 is connected to a condenser 8. The condensate outlet at the bottom of the condenser 8 is connected to a collection tank 9. The collection tank 9 has a liquid level sensor 13. The device also includes a pH adjustment tank 10. The upper end of the pH adjustment tank 10 has a dosing mechanism 14. The pH adjustment tank 10 is connected to the inlet 2 of the wastewater storage tank 1 via a liquid pump 12.

[0025] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the dosing mechanism 14 includes a medicine tank fixedly installed at the upper end of the pH adjustment tank 10, and a metering pump is provided at the bottom outlet of the medicine tank. Both the wastewater storage tank 1 and the distillation column 5 have an insulation layer 15 on their outer walls.

[0026] In this embodiment, as a preferred technical solution, the distillation column 5 is provided with multiple layers of trays. Each layer of tray is provided with an overflow weir for controlling the liquid level on the tray and a sieve for allowing steam to pass through and transfer mass and heat with the liquid on the tray. Multiple layers of trays are existing technology and are often found inside distillation columns. For technical details, please refer to the Chinese authorized patent for a distillation column for producing m-chlorophenylacetone (CN202221190782.6).

[0027] The working principle of this utility model of a methylamine wastewater treatment device is as follows: This device uses preheating to increase the temperature of the wastewater and reduce the energy consumption of distillation. Based on the gas-liquid mass and heat transfer on the trays in the distillation column, it achieves the separation of substances such as methylamine. The vapor is converted into liquid by condensation for easy collection. The wastewater treatment conditions are improved by pH adjustment.

[0028] The working process of the methylamine wastewater treatment device of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] 1. Wastewater Storage and pH Adjustment: Wastewater first flows into pH adjustment tank 10. The metering pump at the bottom of the chemical tank of the dosing mechanism 14 precisely adds chemicals to pH adjustment tank 10 based on wastewater quality test data, adjusting the wastewater pH to a suitable range for subsequent treatment. The adjusted wastewater is then pumped from pH adjustment tank 10 to wastewater storage tank 1 via liquid pump 2 12. Methylamine wastewater awaiting treatment flows into wastewater storage tank 1 from inlet 2 for temporary storage. The insulation layer 15 on the outer wall of wastewater storage tank 1 reduces heat loss and maintains a stable wastewater temperature.

[0030] 2. Wastewater preheating: Wastewater is transported to preheater 4 through pipeline from the bottom outlet 3 of wastewater storage tank 1. The electric heating plate inside preheater 4 operates to preheat the wastewater, increase its temperature, and reduce energy consumption in the subsequent distillation process.

[0031] 3. Distillation Separation: Preheated wastewater is pumped to distillation column 5 by liquid pump 11. Overflow weirs on the multi-layered trays inside distillation column 5 maintain a suitable liquid level on each tray, while sieves allow vapor to pass through the liquid layer. During the mass and heat transfer process between the rising vapor and the liquid on the trays, volatile substances such as methylamine continuously transfer from the liquid phase to the gas phase, while less volatile impurities remain in the liquid phase. The second outlet 6 at the bottom of distillation column 5 sends the residual liquid to reboiler 7. Reboiler 7 heats the liquid, and the generated vapor is returned to distillation column 5 via pipeline, providing rising vapor for the distillation process and maintaining continuous distillation operation.

[0032] 4. Condensation and Collection: The steam discharged from the upper steam outlet of distillation column 5 enters condenser 8. Condenser 8 condenses the steam into liquid, and the condensate flows into collection tank 9 from the bottom condensate outlet. The liquid level sensor 13 in collection tank 9 monitors the liquid level in real time, allowing staff to monitor the collection status and process the collected products promptly.

[0033] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
