Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical wastewater treatment technology, and in particular to a refining treatment device for epichlorohydrin saponification wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Epichlorohydrin is an important chemical raw material, generally produced by saponification of dichloropropanol and alkali. The saponification process generates a large amount of saline wastewater containing dissolved organic matter, primarily glycerol, dichloropropanol, and epichlorohydrin, with a mass fraction of approximately 1%. Current wastewater treatment equipment cannot remove this organic matter, leading to its gradual accumulation in the triple-effect evaporator during the subsequent process. This accumulation not only causes severe corrosion and blockage of the evaporation equipment, increasing maintenance costs, but also poses significant safety hazards due to the flammability and explosiveness of some organic compounds. Furthermore, this accumulated organic matter actually contains valuable chemical raw materials, resulting in substantial waste of these resources. Utility Model Content

[0020] The centrifugal separation unit includes a wastewater storage tank 1 with a saponification wastewater inlet, an extractant storage tank 2 with an extractant inlet, a pipeline mixer 3 connected to both the wastewater storage tank 1 and the extractant storage tank 2 for mixing the saponification wastewater and the extractant, and an extraction centrifuge 4 connected to the outlet of the pipeline mixer 3 for centrifugal separation of the mixed solution of saponification wastewater and extractant. The extraction centrifuge 4 is provided with an aqueous phase outlet and an oil phase outlet from bottom to top.

The bottom of the recovery distillation column 5 is provided with an organic matter recovery port 51, and the top of the recovery distillation column 5 is provided with an extractant recovery port 52. The extractant recovery port 52 is connected to the extractant storage tank 2 through a top recovery pipe 7. A top cooler 8 is installed on the top recovery pipe 7 to condense and liquefy the gaseous extractant.

[0022] One end of the pipeline mixer 3 is provided with a first water inlet and a second water inlet, and the other end of the pipeline mixer 3 is provided with a mixing outlet. The first water inlet of the pipeline mixer 3 is connected to the bottom outlet of the wastewater storage tank 1 through the first conveying pipe 9, and the second water inlet of the pipeline mixer 3 is connected to the bottom outlet of the extractant storage tank 2 through the second conveying pipe 10. The mixing outlet of the pipeline mixer 3 is connected to the inlet of the extraction centrifuge 4 through the mixing conveying pipe 11. The pipeline mixer 3 is a component well known to those skilled in the art. It is provided with several baffles inside, which can force the saponification wastewater and extractant in the path to mix, thereby effectively improving the extraction effect of the extraction centrifuge 4.

[0023] Wastewater delivery shut-off valve 12 and wastewater delivery power pump 13 are sequentially installed on the first delivery pipe 9 along the water flow direction, and extractant delivery shut-off valve 14 and extractant delivery power pump 15 are sequentially installed on the second delivery pipe 10 along the water flow direction.

[0024] The centrifuge 4 has an aqueous phase discharge pipe 16 connected to its aqueous phase discharge port and an oil phase discharge pipe 21 connected to its oil phase discharge port. The other end of the oil phase discharge pipe 21 is connected to the inlet of the recovery distillation tower 5. The aqueous phase discharge pipe 16 is connected to the subsequent triple-effect evaporation treatment device, which sends the separated saponified wastewater, which does not contain organic matter, into it for triple-effect evaporation treatment.

[0025] The organic matter recovery port 51 of the recovery distillation column 5 is connected to a bottom recovery pipe 17. One end of the bottom reboiler 6 is connected to the bottom recovery pipe 17 through a first circulation branch pipe 18, and the other end of the bottom reboiler 6 is connected to the recovery distillation column 5 through a second circulation branch pipe 19.

[0027] The height of the extractant recovery port 52 is higher than the height of the extractant storage tank 2, so that the extractant recovered at the top of the tower can be naturally returned to the extractant storage tank 2 by gravity.

[0028] The extractant can be esters that are immiscible with water, such as dichloroethane, carbon trichloride, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and benzene, or halogenated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof.

[0029] Working principle: This utility model discloses a refining treatment device for epichlorohydrin saponification wastewater. In use, firstly, the wastewater discharge pipe of the saponification device is connected to the wastewater inlet of the wastewater storage tank 1, and the extractant inlet pipe is connected to the extractant inlet of the extractant storage tank 2. Then, the wastewater delivery shut-off valve 12 and the extractant delivery shut-off valve 14 are opened. The saponification wastewater and extractant are drawn from the wastewater storage tank 1 and the extractant storage tank 2 respectively by the wastewater delivery power pump 13 and the extractant delivery power pump 15 and sent to the pipeline mixer 3 for mixing. The mixed saponification wastewater and extractant form a mixed solution and are sent to the extraction centrifuge 4 through the mixing delivery pipe 11. Under the action of centrifugal force, they are separated into two layers: a lower layer of high-density saline wastewater and an upper layer of low-density organic solution containing extractant. The saline wastewater is discharged through the aqueous phase outlet and sent to the subsequent triple-effect evaporation treatment unit for further treatment via the aqueous phase outlet pipe 16. The organic solution containing the extractant is discharged through the oil phase outlet and directly enters the inlet of the recovery distillation tower 5 via the oil phase outlet pipe 21. In the recovery distillation tower 5, it is heated and separated into gaseous extractant and pure organic solution. The extractant vapor at the top of the tower is sent to the top cooler 8 through the top recovery pipe 7. After condensation and liquefaction, it flows back to the extractant storage tank 2. The organic matter (glycerol, dichloropropanol, epichlorohydrin, etc.) at the bottom of the tower is discharged into the storage container through the bottom recovery pipe 17 and reused as a valuable by-product.

[0030] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
