Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical by-product treatment, and in particular to a vacuum treatment system for polymerization reaction by-products. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the polymer polyester polymerization stage uses ultimate vacuum to remove byproducts such as alcohols and oligomers generated during polymerization. These byproducts are first collected after multi-stage condensation before being discharged, preventing them from entering the vacuum pump and causing damage. However, during use, it has been found that some products generate large amounts of byproducts. After condensation, although they become liquid and solid, they are not collected by the condenser but instead enter the subsequent vacuum pump as mist, causing vacuum abnormalities.

[0018] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the "vacuum treatment system for polymerization reaction byproducts" of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the by-product vacuum treatment system includes a reaction vessel 100. The reaction vessel 100 is connected to a condensing device 102 through a first pipe 101. The condensing device 102 is connected to a first buffer tank 104 through a second pipe 103. A filter structure 105 is provided at the top of the first buffer tank 104. The bottom of the filter structure 105 extends into the first buffer tank 104. The top of the first buffer tank 104 is connected to a vacuum pump 107 through a third pipe 106. A first valve 108 is provided at the bottom of the first buffer tank 104. This system uses a first buffer tank 104 as the first layer of protection. Byproducts escaping from the condenser 102 will adhere to the inner wall of the first buffer tank 104, reducing the possibility of byproducts entering the vacuum pump. A filter structure 105 is also provided as the second layer of protection. Byproducts not adhering to the inner wall of the first buffer tank 104 will eventually adhere to the filter structure 105. As the amount of byproducts adhering to the inner wall of the first buffer tank 104 and the filter structure 105 increases, the byproducts will eventually form droplets that fall and settle at the bottom of the first buffer tank 104. After the polymerization reaction is complete, the byproducts can be released to the next processing module through the first valve 108 at the bottom of the first buffer tank 104. This system sets up the first buffer tank 104 and the filter structure 105 between the original condenser 102 and the vacuum pump 107. The structure is simple, prevents byproducts from escaping into the vacuum pump 107 and causing damage, and also allows for the collection of byproducts for further processing.
[0020] See further Figure 2 In this embodiment, the top of the first buffer tank 104 is connected to the flange of the third pipe 106, and the filter structure 105 is detachably installed on the top of the first buffer tank 104 via the flange, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the filter structure; at the same time, in order to ensure sealing, sealing rubber is provided at the flange connection position.
[0021] See further Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the filter structure 105 includes an outer cylinder 1051 and an inner cylinder 1052. The outer cylinder 1051 is provided with an air inlet 1053, and the inner cylinder 1052 is a mesh cylinder. The space between the inner cylinder 1052 and the outer cylinder 1051 is filled with filter material 1054. Preferably, the air inlet 1053 is located in the lower half of the outer cylinder 1051, and the upper half of the outer cylinder 1051 is kept sealed. This ensures that byproducts enter from the bottom of the outer cylinder 1051 and pass through the complete filter material 1054, thereby improving the filtration efficiency and also improving the structural strength of the outer cylinder 1051.
[0022] More specifically, as a preferred embodiment, the outer cylinder is made of metal, the inner cylinder is a metal cage, and the filling material is metal wire.
[0023] See further Figure 1In this embodiment, the first valve 108 is connected to the second buffer tank 110 through the fourth pipe 109. The bottom of the second buffer tank 110 is provided with a second valve 111, which is connected to the waste liquid treatment device 114. The top of the second buffer tank 110 is connected to the waste gas treatment device 115, so as to further process the collected by-products after the reaction is completed.
[0024] More specifically, in this embodiment, a third valve 112 is provided on the first pipe 101, and an air inlet valve 113 is provided on the third pipe 106. The air inlet valve 113 is connected to the air inlet device 116 to blow air into the first buffer tank 104. After the reaction is completed, the third valve 112 and the vacuum pump 107 are closed, and the first valve 108 and the air inlet valve 113 are opened. Gas is introduced into the filter structure 105 and the first buffer tank 104 through the air inlet device 116 to clean the filter structure 105 and the first buffer tank 104, and to accelerate the flow of by-products in the first buffer tank 104 into the second buffer tank 110. It should be noted that the introduced gas can be steam or inert gas or other gases, without limitation, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned effect.
