Furthermore, existing NMP recovery methods consume a lot of energy. To address these issues, an integrated vacuum distillation and adsorption device for NMP recovery is proposed for improvement and upgrading. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a vacuum distillation and adsorption integrated device for NMP recovery, including a reaction chamber 1, a control panel 4 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the reaction chamber 1, and a vacuum chamber 3 fixedly installed on one side of the reaction chamber 1. A storage tank 2 is installed at the upper end of the reaction chamber 1, a transfer pump 23 is installed on one side of the storage tank 2, a flow meter 24 is installed outside the transfer pump 23, a connecting pipe 27 is fixedly connected below the flow meter 24, and one end of the connecting pipe 27 is installed inside the distillation vessel 5 inside the reaction chamber 1. A condenser 6 is installed above the distillation vessel 5, and a connecting pipe 71 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the distillation vessel 5. One end of the connecting pipe 71 passes through the outer wall of the reaction chamber 1 and the extended end is connected to an adsorption column 7.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the distillation vessel 5 and the condenser 6 are connected by pipes. Two connecting pipes 8 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the vacuum chamber 3, and the two connecting pipes 8 pass through the inside of the reaction chamber 1 respectively. Their extension ends are connected to the inside of the condenser 6 and the distillation vessel 5. A temperature sensor 51 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the distillation vessel 5. Activated carbon is fixedly installed inside the adsorption column 7, and an outlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the adsorption column 7.

[0026] Based on the property that the boiling point of a liquid is related to external pressure, the pressure inside the distillation vessel 5 is reduced by the vacuum chamber 3, thereby lowering the boiling point of NMP. At a lower temperature, NMP can evaporate from the NMP-containing mixture and separate from other impurities with higher boiling points. Since NMP evaporates at a low temperature, the influence of high temperature on NMP quality can be avoided, ensuring that the recovered NMP has high purity and quality. Activated carbon adsorbent has a large specific surface area and porous structure, which gives it a strong adsorption capacity for NMP molecules.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a support frame is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 2 and the support frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of the reaction tank 1. An inlet 21 is fixedly opened at the upper end of the storage tank 2, and an outlet pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 2. A triangular tube is provided at one end of the outlet pipe 22, and the other two ends of the triangular tube are respectively connected to the delivery pump 23 and the connecting pipe 27. A flow meter 24 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting pipe 27. A solenoid valve 26 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 27. A transparent protective cover is provided on the outer wall of the flow meter 24, and multiple scale lines 25 are fixedly installed inside the flow meter 24. One end of the connecting pipe 27 passes through the inside of the reaction tank 1 and the extended end is connected to the distillation kettle 5.

[0028] The NMP-containing mixture is pumped from the storage tank 2 to the distillation vessel 5 by the transfer pump 23. At the same time, it is extracted by the outlet pipe 22 and then transported into the flow meter 24. The operator can observe the scale line 25 through the transparent protective cover, thereby accurately controlling the feed rate and flow rate of the mixture, which is convenient for quantitative control during the transport of the mixture.

[0029] The working principle and operation process of this utility model are as follows: First, connect the external power supply. The NMP-containing mixture is transported from the storage tank 2 to the distillation vessel 5 by the delivery pump 23. At the same time, it is extracted through the outlet pipe 22 and then transported into the flow meter 24. The operator observes the scale line 25 through the transparent protective cover to accurately control the feed rate and flow rate of the mixture. After reaching the appropriate amount, the solenoid valve 26 is opened, allowing the mixture to be stably fed into the distillation vessel 5 through the connecting pipe 27. At the same time, the vacuum chamber 3 is started to create a vacuum inside the distillation vessel 5 through the connecting conduit 8 and then extracted, creating a vacuum environment inside the distillation vessel 5. The heating device heats the mixture in the distillation vessel 5. As the temperature rises, NMP reaches its boiling point under the vacuum and evaporates into vapor. The vapor rises and enters the condenser 6. In the condenser 6, the NMP vapor is cooled and condensed into liquid by the cooling medium and flows into the collection container, completing the initial recovery of NMP. The tail gas generated during the distillation process contains residual NMP, causing the tail gas to enter the adsorption column 7 through the connecting pipe 71. The NMP in the adsorption column 7, which is filled with activated carbon adsorbent, is adsorbed by the adsorbent. Then, the purified gas is discharged through the outlet pipe to meet the emission standards, which facilitates the improvement of NMP recovery efficiency.
