Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine production technical field, specifically to a 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine rectification device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the industrial production of 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine, rectification and purification is the key process determining the purity of the product and the production cost. As a key intermediate of new nicotine insecticide, the compound has higher purity requirement, and the content of residual solvent toluene needs to be controlled below 0.1%. The purity directly affects the quality and efficacy of the final pesticide product. In industrial production, the purification of 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine is mainly realized by vacuum rectification technology. However, the traditional rectification process has the following problems:

[0003] The traditional rectification device has low energy utilization efficiency, and the rectification kettle, the front fraction tank and the product tank need to be heated independently. The steam heat is not recycled, and after single use, the steam heat energy is directly discharged. Especially, the waste heat recovery rate of the medium-low temperature steam in the later stage of rectification is insufficient, resulting in high steam consumption per ton of product.

[0004] If the crude product contains toluene solvent or by-product, the existing process is difficult to completely separate the low-boiling-point toluene, which easily causes toluene residue in the finished product, reducing the purity of 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a rectification device capable of reducing energy consumption and improving the purity of 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme provided by the utility model is:

[0007] The utility model relates to a 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl pyridine rectification device, including rectification cauldron, the upper end of rectification cauldron is fixedly communicated with the lower end of rectification tower, the upper end of rectification tower is communicated with the feed end of condenser, the discharge end of condenser is communicated with the front fraction cauldron and the finished product cauldron, the upper end of front fraction cauldron and finished product cauldron is all communicated with the lower end of toluene cauldron, the upper end of toluene cauldron is communicated with tail gas treatment pipeline, rectification cauldron, front fraction cauldron, finished product cauldron and toluene cauldron are all jacketed cauldron, steam inlet pipe and steam outlet pipe are communicated with the jacket of rectification cauldron, steam return pipe is communicated with steam outlet pipe, installs the electromagnetic flow valve on steam return pipe, steam return pipe and steam inlet pipe are communicated with steam generator, steam outlet pipe is communicated with the import end of steam heater, the export end of steam heater is communicated with first steam pipe, installs temperature sensor on first steam pipe, the electromagnetic flow valve and temperature sensor are electrically connected with the starting switch of steam heater through controller, first steam pipe is communicated with the jacket of finished product cauldron, the jacket of finished product cauldron is communicated with the jacket of front fraction cauldron through second steam pipe, the jacket of front fraction cauldron is communicated with the import end of steam generator through steam exhaust pipe, and the condensing medium circulates in the jacket of toluene cauldron and carries out cooling to the toluene entering toluene cauldron.

[0008] Specifically, the rectification cauldron and the finished product cauldron are both provided with stirring devices.

[0009] Specifically, the condensing medium inlet and the condensing medium outlet of the condenser are communicated with a first condensing system.

[0010] Specifically, the jacket of the toluene cauldron is communicated with a second condensing system.

[0011] Specifically, the steam heater is a steam electric heater.

[0012] Specifically, the rectification cauldron is provided with a vacuum pumping system.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:

[0014] 1. The jackets of the rectification cauldron, the finished product cauldron and the front fraction cauldron are connected in series, so that the high-temperature steam is gradually transferred to the medium-low temperature steam, and the utilization rate of steam heat energy is improved. The steam discharged from the rectification cauldron is divided into two paths, one of which is directly returned to the steam generator through the steam return pipe, and the other of which is supplied to the finished product cauldron after being heated by the steam electric heater, so that a closed loop is formed and heat energy waste is avoided. The waste heat of the jacket of the front fraction cauldron is returned to the steam generator through the steam exhaust pipe, so that the low-grade heat energy is reused.

[0015] 2. The temperature sensor on the first steam pipe is linked with the controller, so that the power of the steam heater is dynamically adjusted, the temperature of the steam supplied to the finished product cauldron fluctuates little, and the heat conduction efficiency in the purification stage is maximized.

[0016] 3. The jacket steam heating of the product kettle and the forefraction kettle promotes the continuous vaporization and floating of residual toluene to the toluene kettle, and the forced convection of the stirring device breaks the solubility balance of toluene in the liquid phase, forming a circulating purification mechanism of heating, vaporization and trapping.

[0017] 4. The vacuum extraction system of the rectification kettle reduces the boiling point and reduces the decomposition of heat-sensitive substances. Combined with the staged cutting, the fraction switching is accurately controlled by the top temperature of the rectification column, avoiding the cross contamination of isomers.

[0018] 5. The stirring device arranged in the rectification kettle and the product kettle generates forced turbulence, eliminating the phenomenon of local overheating or subcooling, improving the uniformity of material heating, and significantly reducing the component segregation caused by temperature stratification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0023] Embodiment one: refer to Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, a 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine rectification device includes a rectification kettle 1, the rectification kettle 1 is a jacket kettle, and the upper end of the rectification kettle 1 is fixedly communicated with the lower end of a rectification column 2.

[0024] A vacuum extraction system is installed on the rectification kettle 1.

[0025] The upper end of the rectification column 2 is communicated with the inlet end of a condenser 3, and the condenser medium inlet and the condenser medium outlet of the condenser 3 are communicated with a first condensing system.

[0026] The discharge end of the condenser 3 is communicated with a forefraction kettle 4 and a product kettle 5. The forefraction kettle 4 and the product kettle 5 are both jacket kettles.

[0027] The upper end of the front fraction kettle 4 and the product kettle 5 is communicated with the lower end of the toluene kettle 6, and the toluene kettle 6 is a jacket kettle. The upper end of the toluene kettle 6 is communicated with the tail gas treatment pipeline.

[0028] The steam inlet pipe 7 and the steam outlet pipe 8 are communicated with the jacket of the rectification kettle 1, the steam return pipe 9 is communicated with the steam outlet pipe 8, and the electromagnetic flow valve 15 is installed on the steam return pipe 9.

[0032] The condensing medium circulates in the jacket of the toluene kettle 6 and cools the toluene entering the toluene kettle 6. Specifically, the jacket of the toluene kettle 6 is communicated with the second condensing system.

[0033] During rectification, the crude 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine in the desolventizing kettle enters the rectification kettle 1, the vacuum system is started to vacuumize the rectification kettle 1, when the vacuum degree in the rectification kettle 1 reaches 730mmHg, the high-temperature steam in the steam generator enters the jacket of the rectification kettle 1 to carry out rectification.

[0034] When the rectification starts, the front fraction kettle 4 is opened, the product kettle 5 is closed, and the front fraction is cut. The front fraction is condensed by the condenser 3 and then enters the front fraction kettle 4.

[0035] When the top temperature of the rectification tower 2 reaches 90℃, the front fraction kettle 4 is closed, the product kettle 5 is opened, and the middle fraction is cut.
