Detailed Implementation
[0021] The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, along with the included examples, will make the content of the present invention more readily understood. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of any conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Provided such as Figure 1 The ambergris production equipment shown includes: a reaction device 1 and a distillation device 2. The reaction device 1 is connected to the distillation device 2, and the distillation device 2 achieves multi-stage fractionation through multiple condensers and multiple storage tanks.
[0024] The reaction apparatus 1 includes a first reaction vessel 11 and a phase-separating vessel 12, which are connected by pipelines. The first reaction vessel 11 has a first raw material inlet 13 and a steam outlet 14. The steam outlet 14 is connected to a first condenser 15, which is connected to a first storage tank 16. The phase-separating vessel 12 has a second raw material inlet 17, and its bottom is connected to a second storage tank 18. The phase-separating vessel 12 is connected to a distillation apparatus 2. The first raw material inlet 13 is used to feed cyclododecyl alcohol and diethoxymethane into the first reaction vessel 11. The steam generated during the reaction is cooled by the first condenser 15 and then enters the first storage tank 16 for recovery. The second raw material inlet 17 is used to feed potassium carbonate and water into the phase-separating vessel 12 to form a potassium carbonate solution. After the reaction in the first reaction vessel 11, the solution is transferred to the phase-separating vessel 12. The lower layer of brine is transferred to the second storage tank 18 for storage, and the upper layer of the reaction liquid is transferred to the distillation apparatus 2 for distillation.
[0025] The distillation unit 2 includes a distillation column reboiler 21, a second condenser 22, and a third condenser 23, with the reboiler 21 connected to both condensers 22 and 23. The third condenser 23 is connected to a third storage tank 24. The second condenser 22 is connected to a fourth storage tank 25, a fifth storage tank 26, and a sixth storage tank 27. The third storage tank 24 is used to store recovered cyclododecyl alcohol, the fourth storage tank 25 is used to recover diethylmethane, the fifth storage tank 26 is used to store a mixture of cyclododecyl alcohol and ambergris, and the sixth storage tank 27 is used to store pure ambergris.
[0026] It also includes a vacuum device 3, which is connected to the second condenser 22 and the third condenser 23. The vacuum device 3 includes a vacuum pump 31 and a vacuum buffer tank 32. The vacuum pump 31 is connected to the vacuum buffer tank 32, and the vacuum buffer tube is connected to the second condenser 22 and the third condenser 23. The vacuum device 3 is used to generate negative pressure inside the distillation column reboiler 21, lowering the boiling point of the reaction liquid during distillation, reducing the heating temperature, improving distillation efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.
[0027] Example 2:
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the third storage tank 24 and the fourth storage tank 25 are connected to the reaction apparatus 1. The cyclododecyl alcohol recovered from the third storage tank 24 and the diethylmethane recovered from the fourth storage tank 25 are transported to the first reaction vessel 11 and reused as raw materials for reaction, thereby improving the utilization rate of raw materials, reducing waste, and saving costs.
[0029] Working principle: Cyclododecyl alcohol and diethoxymethane are fed into the first reaction vessel 11 through the first raw material inlet 13. The reaction liquid is kept boiling during the reaction. The resulting vapor is cooled by the first condenser 15 and then enters the first storage tank 16 for recovery. Potassium carbonate and water are fed into the phase separation vessel 12 through the second raw material inlet 17 to form a potassium carbonate solution. After the reaction in the first reaction vessel 11, the reaction liquid is sent to the phase separation vessel 12 for solution separation. The lower layer of brine is sent to the second storage tank 18 for storage, and the upper layer of reaction liquid is sent to the distillation unit 2 for distillation.
[0030] In the distillation column reboiler 21, the reaction liquid is gradually heated from 30°C to 90°C at 10000 Pa until no more vapor is collected. At this point, the vapor is diethoxymethane. The collected diethoxymethane is cooled by the second condenser 22 and then stored in the fourth storage tank 25. Then, the distillation column reboiler 21 is gradually heated from 90°C to 170°C at 1000 Pa. At this point, the vapor is cyclododecyl alcohol. The collected cyclododecyl alcohol is cooled by the third condenser 23 and then stored in the third storage tank 24. When the cyclododecyl alcohol is almost completely distilled but not completely, it is cooled by the third condenser 23 and then enters the fifth storage tank 26 to store a mixture of cyclododecyl alcohol and ambergris. When the cyclododecyl alcohol is completely distilled, the vapor is entirely ambergris. At this point, it is cooled by the third condenser 23 and then enters the sixth storage tank 27.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
