[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial wastewater treatment technology, and more specifically, to a sodium methoxide wastewater purification system. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium methoxide is an important chemical raw material widely used in organic processing, synthetic pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. During its production, a large amount of wastewater containing sodium methoxide is generated. This wastewater not only contains high concentrations of sodium methoxide but may also contain other organic impurities and inorganic salts; direct discharge would cause serious environmental pollution. Currently, the treatment of sodium methoxide wastewater mainly focuses on harmless treatment, while the recovery and utilization efficiency of sodium methoxide is low. Existing technologies for sodium methoxide recovery mostly employ evaporation crystallization, but this method is energy-intensive, inefficient, and easily affected by impurities, making it difficult to obtain high-purity sodium methoxide products. Therefore, developing a highly efficient, low-energy-consumption system capable of purifying sodium methoxide from wastewater has significant economic and environmental implications.
