Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical intermediate production equipment, and in particular relates to a washing device for the side chain of the pharmaceutical intermediate penem. Background Technology

[0002] The preparation of side chains for penem antibiotics (such as imipenem and meropenem) requires multiple washing processes to remove impurities (such as unreacted raw materials, byproducts, and catalyst residues). Traditional processes often employ single-tank batch operation, requiring multiple additions of liquid, stirring, settling, and waste liquid discharge. Fresh solvent must be added for each batch, resulting in high solvent consumption, cumbersome operation, significant manual intervention, long operation cycles, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a washing device for the side chain of the pharmaceutical intermediate penem, which realizes the multiple use of the washing liquid, has low solvent consumption, effectively reduces production costs, shortens the operation cycle, and improves production efficiency through a multi-stage washing tank series connection and pipeline counterflow design.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A washing device for the side chain of penem, a pharmaceutical intermediate, includes:

[0006] The washing unit includes multiple washing tanks, a discharge pipeline, and a washing liquid overflow pipeline. Each washing tank has an internal stirring device, a discharge port at the bottom, multiple baffles along its circumference on its inner sidewall, a feed inlet at the lower end of the sidewall, an overflow port at the upper end of the sidewall, and a washing liquid inlet on the inner wall opposite the overflow port. The outlet end of the washing liquid inlet extends into the lower part of the inner cavity of the washing tank. The discharge port of the preceding washing tank is connected to the feed inlet of the following washing tank via the discharge pipeline, and the overflow port of the following washing tank is connected to the washing liquid inlet of the preceding washing tank via the washing liquid overflow pipeline.

[0007] The washing liquid supply unit includes a washing liquid storage tank, a main washing liquid supply pipeline, and multiple washing liquid supply branch pipelines. The washing liquid storage tank has a washing liquid inlet at the top, and the lower end of its side wall is connected to the inlet end of the main washing liquid supply pipeline. The outlet end of the main washing liquid supply pipeline is connected to the inlet ends of the multiple washing liquid supply branch pipelines, and the outlet ends of the multiple washing liquid supply branch pipelines are correspondingly connected to the washing liquid inlet of each washing tank.

[0008] Multiple washing tanks are connected in series. The material to be washed enters from the inlet of the first tank and flows into the subsequent tanks through the discharge pipe. At the same time, the washing liquid flows in the opposite direction, being added from the last tank. The washing liquid, carrying dissolved impurities, flows back to the previous tank through the overflow pipe, thus forming a multi-stage countercurrent washing process. The high-impurity waste liquid overflowing from the first washing tank can be treated and returned to the washing liquid storage tank or directly entered into the recovery system, saving solvent, reducing waste liquid volume, and improving washing efficiency. The stirring device in each washing tank, together with the baffles (distributed circumferentially), creates turbulence, ensuring full contact between the material to be washed and the washing liquid. The material settles to the bottom of the tank under gravity, while the washing liquid carries impurities to the overflow port, achieving preliminary separation from the impurities.

[0009] Furthermore, the stirring device includes a vertically arranged stirring shaft and a stirring paddle mounted on the stirring shaft; the top end of the stirring shaft is connected to a drive device located at the top of the outer side of the washing tank; the stirring paddle is located in the lower part of the inner cavity of the washing tank; the inlet and the outlet of the washing liquid inlet are both located at the height of the stirring paddle.

[0010] The agitator uses inclined turbine or anchor blades with a diameter of approximately 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the tank diameter. The rotation of the agitator generates axial and radial flow, which pushes solid particles and cleaning liquid to form strong turbulence in the lower part of the tank, accelerating the dissolution and mass transfer of impurities. Solid particles are repeatedly suspended and settled in the agitation zone, ensuring that the surface of each particle is fully in contact with the cleaning liquid and avoiding uneven washing in certain areas. The feed inlet is located at the lower end of the side wall, and the outlet end is at the same height as the agitator, ensuring that the slurry containing solids enters the agitation zone directly. The washing liquid inlet is located at the upper end of the side wall, and the outlet end extends to the height of the agitator, so that the washing liquid and solid particles are in full contact in the agitation zone.

[0011] Furthermore, there are four baffles, which are evenly spaced along the circumference; the baffles are located in the lower middle part of the inner cavity of the washing tank.

[0012] The baffle plate can enhance the turbulent mixing effect.

[0013] Furthermore, an inclined plate settling layer is provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the washing tank and below the overflow port.

[0014] The inclined plate settling layer consists of multiple sets of parallel polypropylene corrugated plates with a plate spacing of 20-30mm. It is fixed to the upper end of the inner cavity of the washing tank by a bracket. The clear liquid rises along the surface of the inclined plate and is discharged through the overflow pipe. The solid particles slide down the plate surface to the bottom of the cone. The inclined plate settling layer can extend the solid phase settling path and accelerate particle separation.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the washing tank is equipped with a safety valve, a pressure gauge, and a spare port.

[0016] Furthermore, the discharge pipeline includes a discharge pipe and a regulating valve, a flow meter, and a material pump installed on the discharge pipe; the washing liquid overflow pipeline includes a washing liquid overflow pipe and a regulating valve, a flow meter, and a liquid pump installed on the washing liquid overflow pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the main washing solution supply pipe includes a main washing solution supply pipe and a liquid pump, a flow meter, and an online pH and concentration detector installed on the main washing solution supply pipe near one end of the washing solution storage tank; the branch washing solution supply pipe includes a branch washing solution supply pipe and a regulating valve and a flow meter installed on the branch washing solution supply pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a recycling unit, which includes a recycling filter tank, a multi-effect evaporator, and a buffer storage tank connected in series; the inlet end of the recycling filter tank is connected to the overflow port of the first washing tank through a recycling pipe one; the outlet end of the buffer storage tank is connected to the return port at the top of the washing liquid storage tank through a recycling pipe two.

[0019] By setting up a recycling unit, the high-impurity waste liquid overflowing from the first washing tank can be recycled and reused. After treatment, it is sent back to the washing liquid storage tank to enter the countercurrent washing cycle.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the washing device for penem side chains in pharmaceutical intermediates described in this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] The washing device for penem side chains of the pharmaceutical intermediate described in this utility model achieves efficient washing of penem side chains through a synergistic design of solid-phase co-current and liquid-phase counter-current, combined with dynamic mixing and gravity sedimentation. Utilizing the counter-current concentration gradient, it maximizes the solvent's impurity removal capacity and reduces fresh solvent consumption. The rational arrangement of the inlets and outlets within the washing tank, along with the construction of baffles and a stirring device, effectively ensures thorough mixing and washing of the washing liquid and materials within the tank. Separation is achieved through dynamic sedimentation. Simultaneously, the overflow port and washing liquid overflow pipeline allow the washing liquid from the next stage to be reused in the previous stage washing tank, effectively reducing production costs, shortening the operation cycle, and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a washing device for the side chain of the pharmaceutical intermediate penem includes a washing unit and a washing solution supply unit.

[0034] The washing unit includes three washing tanks 1, three sets of discharge pipelines 2, and three sets of washing liquid overflow pipelines 3;

[0035] The washing tank 1 is equipped with a safety valve, a pressure gauge, and a spare port at the top. An agitator is installed inside the tank, and a discharge port 4 is located at the bottom. Four baffles 5 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the lower part of the inner side wall. An inlet 6 is located at the lower end of the side wall, and an overflow port 7 is located at the upper end of the side wall. A washing liquid inlet 8 is located on the inner wall opposite the overflow port 7. The outlet end of the washing liquid inlet 8 extends into the lower part of the inner cavity of the washing tank 1. An inclined plate settling layer 9 is located at the upper end of the inner cavity and below the overflow port 7. The agitator includes a vertically arranged agitator shaft 10 and an agitator paddle 11 mounted on the agitator shaft 10. The top end of the agitator shaft 10 is connected to a drive device 12 located at the top of the outer side of the washing tank 1. The agitator paddle 11 is located in the lower part of the inner cavity of the washing tank 1. The outlet ends of the inlet 6 and the washing liquid inlet 8 are both located at the height of the agitator paddle 11.

[0036] The discharge pipeline 2 includes a discharge pipe and a regulating valve, a flow meter and a material pump installed on the discharge pipe; the discharge port 4 of the previous washing tank 1 is connected to the inlet 6 of the next washing tank 1 through the discharge pipeline 2; the discharge port 4 of the last washing tank 1 is connected to the next process through the discharge pipeline 2.

[0037] The washing liquid overflow pipeline 3 includes a washing liquid overflow pipe and a regulating valve, a flow meter and a liquid pump installed on the washing liquid overflow pipe; the overflow port 7 of the subsequent washing tank 1 is connected to the washing liquid inlet 8 of the previous washing tank 1 through the washing liquid overflow pipeline 3; the overflow port 7 of the first washing tank 1 is connected to an external waste liquid recovery system through the washing liquid overflow pipeline 3.

[0038] The washing solution supply unit includes a washing solution storage tank 13, a main washing solution supply pipeline 14, and three washing solution supply branch pipelines 15;

[0039] The washing liquid storage tank 13 has a washing liquid inlet at the top, and the lower end of its side wall is connected to the inlet of the washing liquid supply main pipeline 14.
