Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of NMP recovery equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving distillation equipment for NMP recovery. Background Technology

[0002] NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) recovery systems are commonly used solvent recovery systems in industrial production processes. NMP is an organic solvent that is typically used in processes such as polymer dissolution, solvent extraction, and reaction media. Because it is consumed or volatilized during production, recycling and reusing NMP becomes important in order to reduce costs and environmental impact.

[0003] NMP recovery typically requires distillation. However, most existing NMP distillation equipment is simple in structure and has limited functionality, only capable of distilling and condensing NMP. This equipment consumes a lot of energy, and the condensed NMP is not pure enough, requiring further filtration. During this process, impurities can easily clog the filtration equipment, leading to damage and reduced lifespan. Therefore, we need to upgrade and modify the existing technology to overcome these problems and shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency and energy-saving distillation device for NMP recovery, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The upper end of the distillation column is provided with an outlet pipe and the upper end of the outlet pipe is connected to a condenser. The outside of the condenser is provided with a liquid outlet pipe.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, this embodiment provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving distillation device for NMP recovery, including a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a distillation column 2, a filter assembly 4, and a preheating assembly 6. The upper end of the distillation column 2 is provided with an outlet pipe 21, and the upper end of the outlet pipe 21 is connected to a condenser 3. The outside of the condenser 3 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe 31.

[0026] In this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 is located at the lower end of the liquid outlet pipe 31. The filter assembly 4 includes a filter box 41 and a filter element 48. The upper end of the filter box 41 is provided with a top cover plate 42, which is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 31. The bottom of the filter box 41 is connected to a discharge pipe 5. The filter box 41 is provided with a mounting plate 45 inside, and four sets of guide holes 47 are opened on the mounting plate 45. The filter element 48 is connected to the lower end of the guide holes 47. A connecting sleeve 49 is screwed to the upper end of the filter element 48. An inner support 43 is welded to the inner wall of the filter box 41, and a positioning post 4 is provided on the inner support 43. 4. The mounting plate 45 is provided with positioning holes 46, and the positioning pins 44 are inserted into the positioning holes 46. The mounting plate 45 is aligned and installed by the inner bracket 43 and the positioning pins 44. The filter element 48 is fixed to the lower end of the guide hole 47 by the connecting sleeve 49. The condensate is guided and filtered through the guide hole 47 and the filter element 48, thereby realizing the separation and filtration of the condensed liquid NMP and further removing impurities. The multiple filter elements 48 can effectively prevent equipment blockage and ensure the smoothness of filtration and the efficiency of NMP recovery.

[0027] In this embodiment, the preheating component 6 is located at the front end of the distillation column 2. The preheating component 6 includes a preheating tank 61, with a heating tube 66 inside the preheating tank 61 and a controller 62 on the outside of the preheating tank 61. The upper end of the preheating tank 61 is provided with a feed pipe 63 and a feeding pipe 64, which are electrically connected to the distillation column 2. The preheating tank 61 has an insulation layer 67 inside, and an inner frame 65 is provided inside the insulation layer 67. The heating tube 66 is installed inside the inner frame 65 and electrically connected to the controller 62. NMP mixture is added through the feed pipe 63, and the controller 62 drives the heating tube 66 to work and heat the internal NMP mixture. The insulation layer 67 keeps the interior warm. The preheated NMP mixture is fed into the distillation column 2 through the feeding pipe 64, thereby achieving preheating treatment of the NMP mixture, which helps to maintain its initial temperature when entering the distillation column 2, making full use of the heat of the extracted material to achieve energy saving and improving the practicality of the device.

[0028] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the NMP mixture is added into the preheating tank 61 through the feed pipe 63. The controller 62 drives the heating tube 66 to work and heat the NMP mixture inside. The insulation layer 67 keeps the inside warm. The preheated NMP mixture is fed into the distillation tower 2 through the feed pipe 64. The NMP mixture is distilled through the distillation tower 2. Since NMP has a low boiling point, it can evaporate in this process, while other components remain at the bottom. The evaporated NMP enters the condenser 3 through the gas outlet pipe 21 and condenses into liquid. The condensed liquid NMP enters the filter assembly 4. Multiple filter elements 48 separate and filter the condensed NMP liquid to further remove impurities. Multiple filter elements 48 work simultaneously, so clogging is not likely to occur.
