[0030] Working principle:
[0031] First, open the first metering pump 21, the ethyl maltol mother liquor in the mother liquor tank 1 is continuously transported to the continuous extractor 3 according to the set flow rate; at the same time, the second metering pump 31 is started, and the extractant in the extractant tank 2 also continuously enters the continuous extractor 3 according to the specified flow rate ratio (3:1~5:1), and the mother liquor and the extractant are fully mixed in the continuous extractor 3 to perform extraction operation. After the extraction is completed, the light liquid generated flows into the waste water tank 4 through the eighth pipeline of the light liquid outlet of the continuous extractor 3 to collect, and the subsequent waste water is transferred to the sewage treatment; and the heavy liquid enters the extraction phase tank 5 through the first pipeline of the heavy liquid outlet and is temporarily stored.
[0032] Then, the low-temperature evaporator 6 is extracted to a vacuum state through an external vacuum system, and the internal vacuum is controlled to be in the interval of-0.085MPa~-0.095MPa, then the heavy liquid in the extraction phase tank 5 enters the low-temperature evaporator 6 by using the third metering pump 51, and when the heavy liquid reaches the liquid level set by the liquid level controller of the low-temperature evaporator 6, the compressor 10 is automatically started and operated. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor 10 starts to heat the heavy liquid in the low-temperature evaporator 6, so that the heavy liquid boils at a set temperature range, and the extractant in the heavy liquid is volatilized into a vapor state. The heavy liquid temperature control is determined by the vacuum in the low-temperature evaporator 6, and when the pressure is stable, the original liquid temperature remains unchanged; the heavy liquid feeding speed is controlled by the liquid level in the low-temperature evaporator 6.
[0033] The volatilized extractant vapor enters the heat exchanger 9, at this time, part of the refrigerant after pressure reduction by the expansion valve 93 enters the heat exchanger 9 to cool the vapor, and the second temperature sensor 91 at the outlet of the heat exchanger 9 monitors the temperature of the condensed extractant in real time to ensure that it is smoothly converted into a liquid state and flows into the extractant tank 2. After the extractant tank 2 automatically supplements the part reduced in the recovery process, the extractant reenters the continuous extractor 3 through the second metering pump 31 for recycling. After completing the condensation task, the refrigerant returns to the compressor 10, and after heating by the compressor 10, it continues to heat the heavy liquid in the low-temperature evaporator 6, so as to realize the circulation of the whole process, and continuously extract the ethyl maltol mother liquor and recycle the extractant. The remaining liquid in the low-temperature evaporator 6 after the evaporation of the extractant enters the ethyl maltol recovery process, further separates from the extractant, and completes the product recovery operation.
