Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, and in particular to a high-temperature chemical mother liquor recycling system. Background Technology
[0002] In the chemical production sector, chemical products consume a large amount of water, resulting in high water resource consumption. In one workshop, after the product is synthesized in the reactor, the temperature reaches as high as 95 degrees Celsius. After the mother liquor is filtered out in a filter press, it undergoes a first water wash, the temperature of which still reaches above 65 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, to ensure product purity, a second water wash is required to remove the byproducts generated during the reaction. Producing one ton of product requires 4 tons of softened water, of which 2.5 tons are used for washing.
[0003] To reduce water consumption, existing technologies have introduced several measures for the treatment and reuse of mother liquor. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN210103707U, published on February 21, 2020, discloses a chlor-alkali chemical mother liquor treatment and reuse system. This system includes a preliminary treatment unit, a biochemical treatment unit, a sludge separation unit, an ozone oxidation unit, a secondary biochemical treatment unit, an ultrafiltration unit, a reverse osmosis unit, and a reuse treatment unit. The preliminary treatment unit, arranged sequentially according to the water treatment direction, includes a grid, an equalization tank, a self-cleaning filter, and a cooling tower. The mother liquor is processed through the grid to remove larger solid waste, resulting in pretreated mother liquor. This patent utilizes a traditional activated sludge treatment process combined with advanced oxidation and supplemented by aerated biological filters and activated carbon treatment processes for low-pollution water, providing the possibility of mother liquor reuse. Finally, the biochemically treated effluent undergoes deep membrane treatment via ultrafiltration and mixed-bed filtration, ultimately achieving the goal of reusing the mother liquor for production and avoiding the consumption of large amounts of primary water. However, this patent cannot recover and utilize the heat from the mother liquor. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The filter press 1 is used to first filter the slurry from the reactor, and the mother liquor after filtration is discharged. After the mother liquor is filtered, the filter press 1 is washed for the first time by a primary water washing unit.

The primary washing unit also includes a reverse osmosis water supply tank 11, a condenser 14, and a reverse osmosis pure water machine 10 connected in series. The inlet of the reverse osmosis water supply tank 11 is connected to the outlet of the filter press 1. Water from the primary washing tank 3 enters the filter press 1 for the first washing, and then the filter press 1 performs a second filtration. The reverse osmosis water supply tank 11 temporarily stores the primary washing water generated during the first washing process and then inputs it into the shell side of the condenser 14.

During the process, the filter press 1 performs a third filtration.
[0031] Furthermore, a secondary water washing pump 8 is installed on the pipeline between the outlet end of the reverse osmosis pure water tank 7 and the filter press 1 to deliver pure water to the filter press 1 for secondary water washing.

This secondary washing water can be used for the first washing of the filter press 1.
[0033] Furthermore, a primary water washing pump 4 is installed on the pipeline between the outlet end of the primary water washing tank 3 and the filter press 1.
[0034] Example 6 differs from Example 5 in that, as Figure 1 As shown, a mother liquor tank 5 is also provided.

[0038] Example 9: The pressure filtration of this utility model has three pressure filtration processes:
[0039] (1) After the slurry from the reactor is transferred into the filter press 1, it is first filtered. The filtered mother liquor is then pumped into the mother liquor tank 5 and then pumped to the sewage network for discharge by the mother liquor pump 6.
[0040] (2) After the mother liquor is fully pressurized, the primary water washing pump 4 is turned on to allow the water from the primary water washing tank 3 to enter the filter press 1 for the first water washing, followed by the second filtration. The water produced by the filtration is initially filtered by the first bag filter 2 and collected in the reverse osmosis water supply tank 11. After heat exchange by the condenser 14, it is then purified by the reverse osmosis pure water machine 10. The purified pure water from the reverse osmosis is transported to the reverse osmosis pure water tank 7, and the reverse osmosis concentrate is discharged into the mother liquor tank 5.
[0041] The reverse osmosis water purifier 10 is interlocked with the liquid levels of the reverse osmosis water supply tank 11 and the reverse osmosis pure water tank 7. The reverse osmosis water purifier 10 operates when the liquid level in the reverse osmosis water supply tank 11 is high; the reverse osmosis water purifier 10 stops when the liquid level in the reverse osmosis water supply tank 11 is low or the liquid level in the reverse osmosis pure water tank 7 is high.
[0042] (3) After the first water washing and filtration is completed, the second water washing pump 8 is started to transport the reverse osmosis pure water in the reverse osmosis pure water tank 7 to the filter press 1 for the second water washing. The second water washing water generated by the filter press is filtered through the first bag filter 2 and then enters the first water washing tank 3 for the first water washing of the filter press 1.
