TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Caprolactam (CPL) is an important organic chemical raw material, mainly used for producing polyamide 6 engineering plastics and polyamide 6 fiber. Caprolactam refining generally through neutralization, extraction (including solvent distillation), back extraction, ion exchange, hydrogenation, evaporation concentration, pre-distillation, distillation and other processes to refine finished caprolactam. In the caprolactam refining process, most of the inorganic impurities and water-soluble organic impurities are discharged with the raffinate phase (aqueous phase residual liquid), and then most of the oil-soluble organic impurities are carried out with the raffinate phase (organic solvent phase) in the back extraction process. The subsequent ion exchange unit further removes inorganic impurities and adsorbs a small amount of organic impurities, and the remaining impurities are further removed in the evaporation concentration, pre-distillation and distillation units. The impurities with lower boiling point and azeotropic with water are returned to the previous ammonium sulfate neutralization crystallization process with a small amount of caprolactam in the multi-effect evaporation condensate water, flash condensate water and pre-distillation condensate water to reduce the loss of caprolactam. The impurities with higher boiling point are left in the residual liquid of multi-stage distillation and are also returned to the previous ammonium sulfate neutralization crystallization process to recover caprolactam therein. Although the above-mentioned traditional refining process can obtain high-purity caprolactam product, it has the problems of large residual liquid circulation amount, high energy consumption and impurities accumulation in the system affecting product quality. For example, a 200,000 tons / year caprolactam device, the residual liquid circulation amount reaches 10 tons / hour, the residual liquid contains about 25% organic solvent, 20% caprolactam, 55% water and numerous impurities. Under the current situation of advocating "high efficiency, high quality, low consumption and environmental protection", it is urgent to make appropriate improvements and upgrades to reduce the energy consumption of caprolactam production device.
