[0019] The following is a further explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is an electronic-grade NMP dehydration device based on molecular sieve membrane, which includes three dehydration tanks 1 connected in sequence; a superheater is provided in front of the first dehydration tank 1, which can heat the gaseous NMP for subsequent dehydration treatment; a supplementary heater is provided between every two dehydration tanks 1, which is used to reheat the gaseous product after one dehydration to a certain temperature for the next dehydration treatment.
[0020] The structure of dehydration tank 1 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the dehydration tank 1 has a feed inlet 2 at the bottom, a discharge outlet 3 at the top, and a waste outlet 4 on the side. Inside the dehydration tank 1, an insulation sleeve 5 is installed, coaxially with the dehydration tank 1, and connected to both the feed inlet 2 and the discharge outlet 3. Multiple molecular sieve permeation tubes 8 are fitted inside the insulation sleeve 5, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the molecular sieve permeation tubes 8 are evenly distributed inside the insulation sleeve 5, and their top and bottom ends are connected to the outlet 3 and the inlet 2 through a bowl-shaped connector.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the molecular sieve permeation tube 8 has a hollow structure, and its tube wall is provided with a molecular sieve membrane layer. In this embodiment, the molecular sieve membrane layer is composed of zeolite molecular sieve. The internal space of the molecular sieve permeation tube 8 is the raw material chamber, through which gaseous NMP that needs to be permeated and dehydrated passes. The gap between the molecular sieve permeation tube 8 and the heat insulation sleeve 5 is the permeation chamber 51, and water molecules in the raw material will enter the permeation chamber 51 after passing through the molecular sieve permeation tube 8.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a negative pressure chamber 6 is provided on the insulation sleeve 5, and the negative pressure chamber 6 is located at one end near the discharge port 3; the negative pressure chamber 6 has a hollow internal structure, and its internal cavity is connected to the permeation chamber 51; the negative pressure chamber 6 is connected to the waste port 4 through a negative pressure pipe 7, and further, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the waste port 4 is connected to the condenser and the vacuum unit in sequence through the feed pipe; the vacuum unit can generate a vacuum environment, thereby reducing the pressure in the negative pressure chamber 6 connected to it, and thus reducing the pressure in the permeation chamber 51; since the pressure in the permeation chamber 51 is much smaller than the pressure in the raw material chamber 81, the permeation rate of the raw material in the raw material chamber 81 can be accelerated, thereby effectively increasing the dehydration efficiency of the raw material NMP.
[0023] The water molecules filtered out by the molecular sieve permeation tube 8 are sucked into the condenser under the action of the vacuum unit, and the condensation is completed in the condenser to form a permeate, which is pumped out by the permeate pump after preliminary collection for subsequent waste liquid treatment process; the NMP after the first dehydration tank 1 dehydration treatment will be heated again in the heat compensator and then enter the second dehydration tank 1 for the second dehydration; in this way, the raw material NMP treated by the three dehydration tanks 1 in turn will become finished product NMP with extremely low water content and be discharged for subsequent processing and use; in this embodiment, the industrial grade NMP generated by the reaction of GBL and monomethylamine is subjected to rectification dehydration, and then further dehydration is performed by using the dehydration device in this embodiment, and it is verified that the dehydrated NMP meets the requirements of electronic grade NMP.
[0024] The above is only a further explanation and description of the utility model combined with specific embodiments, and all the descriptions do not represent a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any changes or alternative solutions that can be easily thought of by any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
