Description

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a continuous purification device for glufosinate technical grade includes:

[0042] Mother liquor buffer tank 1, mother liquor buffer tank 1 is provided with a first inlet 11, a second inlet 12 and a first outlet 13, the first inlet 11 is suitable for introducing glufosinate hydrolysate;

[0048] Parallel crystallizer group 6 is provided with parallel crystallizer group inlet 61, ammonia water inlet (not shown in the figure) and mother liquor outlet 62.

[0049] Evaporator feed pump 7, the inlet of which is connected to the mother liquor outlet 62 of parallel crystallizer group 6;

[0050] The vacuum scraped thin film evaporator 8 is provided with a vacuum scraped thin film evaporator inlet 81, a gas phase outlet 82 and a concentrate outlet 83. The vacuum scraped thin film evaporator inlet 81 is connected to the outlet of the evaporator feed pump 7.

[0051] The parallel dispersion vessel group 9 is provided with a parallel dispersion vessel group inlet 91, a solvent inlet (not shown in the figure) and a discharge port 93. The parallel dispersion vessel group inlet 91 is connected to the concentrate outlet 83 of the vacuum scraped thin film evaporator 8. The solvent inlet is suitable for introducing methanol. The parallel dispersion vessel group 9 is suitable for mixing and dispersing the concentrate output from the vacuum scraped thin film evaporator 8 with methanol, and outputting glufosinate methanol solution.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the working process of the glufosinate technical continuous purification device is as follows: glufosinate hydrolysate enters the mother liquor buffer tank 1 through the first inlet 11. The mother liquor transfer pump transports the hydrolysate to the heater for heating. The heated mixture flows into the separation vessel 3. In the separation vessel 3, the stirring device stirs the mother liquor and performs separation at the same time, so that the gaseous substances in the mother liquor are discharged from the gas phase outlet 32, and the liquid substances are transported to the suspension separator 5 through the liquid phase outlet 33 and the separation vessel transfer pump 4.

[0053] Within the suspension separator 5, the mother liquor is separated into an upper liquid phase and a lower solid phase. The upper liquid phase is returned to the second inlet 12 of the mother liquor buffer tank 1 through the upper liquid phase outlet 52 to form a circulation.

[0054] The vacuum scraped-film evaporator 8 separates the mother liquor into a gas phase and a concentrated liquid. The gas phase is discharged through the gas phase outlet 82, and the concentrated liquid enters the parallel dispersion vessel group 9 through the concentrated liquid outlet 83. The parallel dispersion vessel group 9 introduces methanol through the solvent inlet, mixes the concentrated liquid with methanol, and performs dispersion treatment. Finally, the parallel dispersion vessel group separates ammonium chloride solid and glufosinate methanol solution, completing the continuous purification process of glufosinate technical. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ammonia water pipeline connected to the ammonia water inlet of the parallel crystallizer group 6... Figure 1 Not shown in the image.

[0057] The dilute acid storage tank 110 has its inlet connected to the outlet of the condenser 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, during the operation of the continuous purification unit for glufosinate technical grade, the gas phase generated in the separation vessel 3 enters the condenser 100 through the gas phase outlet 32. The condenser 100 condenses the gas phase into a liquid substance. The condensed liquid flows through the outlet of the condenser 100 into the dilute acid storage tank 110 for collection, reducing material loss.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the continuous purification device for glufosinate technical grade also includes:

[0060] The inlet of the second condenser 120 is connected to the gas phase outlet 82 of the vacuum scraped film evaporator 8. The second condenser 120 is suitable for condensing the gas phase output from the vacuum scraped film evaporator 8 into dilute ammonia water.

[0061] The inlet of the dilute ammonia water storage tank 130 is connected to the outlet of the second condenser 120.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, during the operation of the continuous purification unit for glufosinate technical grade, the gaseous substances generated by the vacuum scraped thin-film evaporator 8 enter the second condenser 120 through the gas outlet 82. The second condenser 120 condenses these gaseous substances, converting them into liquid dilute ammonia water. The resulting dilute ammonia water flows through the outlet of the second condenser 120 into the dilute ammonia water storage tank 130 for collection and storage.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the continuous purification unit for glufosinate technical grade also includes a control valve group, which includes:

[0064] The first control valve 15 is located between the first outlet 13 of the mother liquor buffer tank 1 and the inlet of the mother liquor transfer pump 2.

[0065] The second control valve 16 is located between the liquid phase outlet 33 of the separator 3 and the inlet of the separator transfer pump 4.

[0066] The third control valve 17 is located between the lower solid phase outlet 53 of the suspension separator 5 and the parallel crystallizer group inlet 61 of the parallel crystallizer group 6.

[0067] The fourth control valve 18 is located between the mother liquor outlet 62 of the parallel crystallizer group 6 and the inlet of the evaporator feed pump 7.

[0068] The fifth control valve 19 is located between the concentrate outlet 83 of the vacuum scraper thin film evaporator 8 and the feed inlet 91 of the parallel dispersion vessel group 9.

[0069] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the control valve group is used to regulate the material flow in each stage of the continuous purification unit for glufosinate technical. The first control valve 15 is located between the first outlet 13 of the mother liquor buffer tank 1 and the inlet of the mother liquor transfer pump 2, controlling the material flowing out of the mother liquor buffer tank 1. The second control valve 16 is installed between the liquid phase outlet 33 of the separator 3 and the inlet of the separator transfer pump 4, used to regulate the liquid phase material discharged from the separator 3. The third control valve 17 is located between the solid phase outlet 53 of the suspension separator 5 and the parallel crystallizer group inlet 61 of the parallel crystallizer group 6, controlling the flow rate of solid phase material entering the crystallizer.

[0070] The fourth control valve 18 is located between the mother liquor outlet 62 of the parallel crystallizer group 6 and the inlet of the evaporator feed pump 7, regulating the amount of material flowing from the crystallizer to the vacuum scraped thin film evaporator 8. The fifth control valve 19 is installed between the concentrate outlet 83 of the vacuum scraped thin film evaporator 8 and the parallel dispersion group inlet 91 of the parallel dispersion group 9, controlling the flow rate of the concentrate entering the parallel dispersion group 9.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the parallel crystallizer group 6 includes:

[0072] The first crystallizer and the second crystallizer are arranged in parallel.

[0073] The diversion pipe has its inlet end connected to the feed inlet 61 of the parallel crystallizer group, and its outlet end connected to the inlet of the first crystallizer and the second crystallizer respectively.

[0074] The merging pipe has its inlet end connected to the outlets of the first crystallizer and the second crystallizer, respectively, and its outlet end connected to the mother liquor outlet 62.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the parallel crystallizer group 6 adopts a structure design with two crystallizers operating in parallel. Solid material from the suspension separator 5 enters the diversion pipe through the parallel crystallizer group inlet 61. The diversion pipe splits the material into two streams, which are then fed into the first and second crystallizers for processing. This parallel setup allows both crystallizers to operate simultaneously, or one crystallizer can be operated independently as needed, facilitating equipment maintenance and repair. After processing in the crystallizers, the material flows through its respective outlet into the merging pipe, and after converging, is discharged uniformly through the mother liquor outlet 62.

[0076] When one crystallizer requires maintenance or cleaning, another crystallizer can continue operating without interrupting the entire production process. This ensures the stable operation of the crystallization stage and the continuity of material flow during the continuous purification of glufosinate technical.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the parallel dispersion vessel group 9 includes:

[0078] The first dispersion vessel and the second dispersion vessel are arranged in parallel;

[0079] The dispersing vessel diversion pipe has its inlet end connected to the feed inlet 91 of the parallel dispersing vessel group, and its outlet end connected to the inlets of the first dispersing vessel and the second dispersing vessel, respectively.

[0080] The inlet end of the merging pipe of the dispersion vessel is connected to the outlet of the first dispersion vessel and the outlet end of the merging pipe of the dispersion vessel and the outlet 93.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the parallel dispersion vessel group 9 adopts a parallel operating structure similar to that of the parallel crystallizer group 6. The concentrated liquid produced by the vacuum scraper thin-film evaporator 8 enters the dispersion vessel diversion pipe through the parallel dispersion vessel group inlet 91, and is then divided into two streams, entering the first dispersion vessel and the second dispersion vessel respectively. Inside the dispersion vessel, methanol introduced through the solvent inlet is thoroughly mixed with the concentrated liquid and dispersed. This parallel design allows the dispersion vessels to operate simultaneously to process materials, or one of the dispersion vessels can be selectively operated individually according to process requirements.

[0082] After thorough dispersion, the material flows out of the outlets of its respective dispersion reactors, merges into the confluence pipe of the dispersion reactors, and is finally discharged through outlet 93. When one dispersion reactor needs to be shut down for maintenance, the other dispersion reactor can continue to operate, ensuring the continuous operation of the glufosinate technical purification process and guaranteeing the stability of the production process.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the separation vessel 3 is equipped with a stirring device, which is suitable for stirring the mother liquor in the separation vessel 3.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the stirring device inside the separation vessel 3 is a key component of the continuous purification unit for glufosinate technical. When the mother liquor enters the separation vessel 3 through the inlet 31, the stirring device begins operation, continuously agitating the mother liquor within the vessel. This agitation process promotes the separation of gaseous substances from the mother liquor.

[0085] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
