The residual acid discharged by the existing process reboiling section has a temperature of about 50 DEG C, the high temperature is easy to cause leakage of the PP material for long-time containing, loss is caused, the service life is too short, and inconvenience is brought to inspection and maintenance; meanwhile, the high-temperature residual acid containing germanium tetrachloride is not easy to precipitate and is treated with the residual acid, germanium tetrachloride is taken away, and direct economic loss is caused. The high-temperature residual acid discharged needs a long time for natural cooling, the hot acid has strong volatility, pressure is brought to environmental protection, and the containing vessel is easy to be corroded to cause leakage; the existing containing vessel does not have an observation hole, the lower germanium tetrachloride exceeds the residual acid pump outlet, is treated with the residual acid, and yield reduction is caused. The residual acid containing vessel is full, and it cannot be determined that the residual acid overflows to cause harm to the operator. The existing device precipitates germanium tetrachloride in the bottom layer and needs to be pumped out by vacuum, a vacuum unit needs to be started, the large vacuum suction force takes away part of the germanium tetrachloride, causes germanium tetrachloride loss, and the germanium tetrachloride enters the vacuum unit to cause corrosion and damage of the vacuum unit. The hole punched by oneself is used as a residual acid inlet, a tail gas outlet, a vacuum pumping outlet and a residual acid discharge port in the middle of the barrel, the sealing performance is poor, a small part of residual acid gas volatilization causes harm to equipment, personnel and environment.
