Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distillation technology, and in particular to a short-path distillation apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Distillers are the most commonly used process equipment in chemical production. Through distillation, organic or inorganic compounds with different boiling points can be separated individually or in groups to achieve the purpose of separation and purification.

[0003] In existing technology, materials typically enter the still radially from above the heating zone, are distributed onto the heating walls of the still by a distributor, and then a rotating scraper continuously and uniformly scrapes the material into a thin, uniform liquid film on the heating surface, propelling it downwards in a spiral motion. During this process, the rotating scraper ensures high-speed turbulence in the continuous and uniform liquid film and prevents coking and scaling on the heating surface, thereby improving the overall transfer coefficient. Lighter components in the material are evaporated, forming an upward-flowing vapor stream that passes through a vapor-liquid separator to an external condenser directly connected to the still; heavier components are discharged from the cone at the bottom of the still.

[0004] Furthermore, existing stills have relatively difficult problems in separating light and heavy components, and it is difficult to ensure that the liquid film evenly covers all evaporation surfaces. In addition, tumbling often occurs in the still during liquid flow, so the mist generated by tumbling often splashes onto the condensation surface, which can easily lead to a small heat exchange area in the still. Consequently, existing stills are only suitable for laboratory and small-scale distillation. Utility Model Content

[0040] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a short-path distillation apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a short-path distillation apparatus according to one embodiment. The short-path distillation apparatus includes a distillation tank 1, a distillation tube 2, a cooling tube 3, and a liquid separation assembly 4. The distillation tank 1 has a heating zone 101; the outer wall of the distillation tank 1 is provided with a hot medium inlet 102, a hot medium outlet 103, a cold medium inlet 104, a cold medium outlet 105, a feed inlet 106, a first discharge outlet 107, and a second discharge outlet 108; wherein the hot medium inlet 102 and the hot medium outlet 103 are both connected to the heating zone 101; the distillation tube 2 is located within the heating zone 101, and the distillation tube 2 is connected to the feed inlet 106, the first discharge outlet 107, and the second discharge outlet 108; At least a portion of the cooling pipe 3 is located inside the distillation pipe 2 and is coaxially arranged with the distillation pipe 2; the cooling pipe 3 is connected to both the cold medium inlet 104 and the cold medium outlet 105; the cooling pipe 3 is used to condense the gas corresponding to the liquid material that has been heated and vaporized by the hot medium in the heated area 101 of the distillation pipe 2, to obtain condensed liquid; the liquid separation assembly 4 is located inside the distillation tank 1 and below the distillation pipe 2, and the liquid separation assembly 4 is used to guide the liquid material that has not been heated and vaporized by the hot medium in the unheated area 101 of the distillation pipe 2 to the first outlet 107 and to guide the condensed liquid to the second outlet 108.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the liquid material, the liquid material that is not heated and vaporized by the heat medium of the heating zone 101 can be considered as the heavy component in the liquid material, and the liquid material that can be heated and vaporized by the heat medium of the heating zone 101 can be considered as the light component in the liquid material. Therefore, the first discharge port 107 can be connected to the heavy component holding tank 6, and the second discharge port 108 can be connected to the light component holding tank 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, by placing the distillation tube 2 within the heating zone 101, the liquid material entering through the feed inlet 106 enters the distillation tube 2. A portion of the liquid material is heated and vaporized by the heat medium in the heating zone 101, transforming it into a gas corresponding to that portion of the liquid material. Then, by placing at least a portion of the cooling tube 3 within the distillation tube 2 and coaxially with it, the gas corresponding to that portion of the liquid material is condensed by the cooling tube 3 to obtain condensate, thus completing the separation between that portion of the liquid material and the other portion of the liquid material that has not been heated and vaporized. Finally, the liquid material that has not been heated and vaporized by the heat medium in the heating zone 101 is introduced into the first outlet 107 by the liquid-separating assembly 4 located below the distillation tube 2, and the condensate is introduced into the second outlet 108, completing the separation of the liquid material that has not been heated and vaporized by the heat medium in the heating zone 101 and the condensate. Therefore, the short-path distillation apparatus provided in this application can separate the light and heavy components in liquid materials. That is, it can separate the liquid material that has not been heated and vaporized by the heat medium in the heated zone 101 from the liquid material that can be heated and vaporized by the heat medium in the heated zone 101. At the same time, because the liquid material does not form a liquid film during the separation process, there is no tumbling phenomenon in the short-path distillation apparatus. Therefore, the short-path distillation apparatus is also suitable for large-scale distillation.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, the distillation tank 1 includes a first shell section 109, a second shell section 1010, a third shell section 1011, a fourth shell section 1012, and a fifth shell section 1013 connected in sequence; the first shell section 109 has a first cold medium region 1014 and a second cold medium region 1015 that are not interconnected, the first cold medium region 1014 is connected to a cold medium inlet 104, and the second cold medium region 1015 is connected to a cold medium outlet 105; the second shell section 1010 has a feed space 1016; the feed port 106 is connected to the outer wall of the second shell section 1010 and is connected to the feed space 1016; the third shell section 1011 is provided with a hot medium inlet 102 and a hot medium outlet 103, and the heating area 101 is located on the third shell section 1011; the fourth shell section 1012 has a first discharge space The first discharge port 107 is located on the fourth shell section 1012 and communicates with the first discharge space 1017; the fifth shell section 1013 has a second discharge space 1018; the second discharge port 108 is located on the fourth shell section 1012 and communicates with the second discharge space 1018; wherein, the cooling pipe 3 includes a first cooling section 301, a second cooling section 302 and a U-shaped section 303, the U-shaped section 303 is located in the fifth shell section 1013, the first end of the first cooling section 301 communicates with the first cold medium region 1014, the second end of the second cooling section 302 communicates with the second cold medium region 1015; the second ends of the first cooling section 301 and the second ends of the second cooling section 302 both pass through the second shell section 1010, the third shell section 1011, the fourth shell section 1012 and the fifth shell section 1013 and are connected to the U-shaped section 303.

[0046] Here, the first housing segment 109, the second housing segment 1010, the third housing segment 1011, the fourth housing segment 1012 and the fifth housing segment 1013 are all coaxially arranged, and their respective cross-sectional diameters are all the same; the axial direction of the first cooling segment 301 and the axial direction of the second cooling segment 302 can be the same as the axial direction of the first housing segment 109.

[0047] It should be noted that the first cold medium zone 1014, the second cold medium zone 1015, the feeding space 1016, the heating zone 101, the first discharge space 1017, and the second discharge space 1018 are all enclosed spaces.

[0048] In this embodiment, by connecting the second end of the first cooling section 301 and the second end of the second cooling section 302 through the second shell section 1010, the third shell section 1011, the fourth shell section 1012, and the fifth shell section 1013 and then to the U-shaped section 303, the cold medium entering through the cold medium inlet 104 can sequentially enter the first cooling section 301, the U-shaped section 303, and the second cooling section 302 after entering the first cold medium region, until the cold medium can enter the second cold medium region 1015. During this process, the gas corresponding to the liquid material heated and vaporized by the hot medium in the distillation tube 2 located in the hot medium region 101 can be condensed. At the same time, the condensed liquid can also fall along the U-shaped section 303 located in the fifth shell section 1013 and enter the fifth shell section 1013 for easy collection.

[0049] Furthermore, a first partition 1019 is provided between the first housing section 109 and the second housing section 1010. The first end of the first cooling section 301 and the first end of the second cooling section 302 both pass through the first partition 1019 and are fixed on the first partition 1019.

[0050] Here, a temperature measuring port 1020 is also provided at the bottom of the first housing section 109. The temperature measuring port 1020 is equipped with a thermometer that can measure the temperature of the cold medium in the second cold medium region 1015.

[0051] In this embodiment, by passing the first end of the first cooling section 301 and the first end of the second cooling section 302 through the first partition 1019 and fixing them on the first partition 1019, not only is the communication between the first cooling section 301 and the first cold medium region 1014 and the communication between the second cooling section 302 and the second cold medium region 1015 realized, but the first cooling section 301 and the second cooling section 302 are also fixed in the distillation tank 1, thereby realizing the fixation of the entire cooling pipe 3 in the distillation tank 1.

[0052] Furthermore, a second partition 1021 is provided between the second shell section 1010 and the third shell section 1011, and a third partition 1022 is provided between the third shell section 1011 and the fourth shell section 1012. The first cooling section 301 and the second cooling section 302 both pass through the second partition 1021 and the third partition 1022. The distillation tube 2 includes a first distillation tube and a second distillation tube. The first distillation tube is sleeved on the outside of the first cooling section 301, and the second distillation tube is sleeved on the outside of the second cooling section 302. The first end of the first distillation tube and the first end of the second distillation tube both pass through the second partition 1021 and are fixed on the second partition 1021. The second end of the first distillation tube and the second end of the second distillation tube both pass through the third partition 1022 and are fixed on the third partition 1022, so that the first distillation tube and the second distillation tube are both connected to the feed space 1016 and the first discharge space 1017.

[0053] In this embodiment, by sleeved a first distillation tube outside the first cooling section 301 and a second distillation tube outside the second cooling section 302, and by passing the first end of both the first and second distillation tubes through and fixing them to the second partition 1021, and by passing the second end of both the first and second distillation tubes through and fixing them to the third partition 1022, the first and second distillation tubes are connected to the feed space 1016 and the first discharge space 1017, allowing the liquid material in the feed space 1016 to enter the first and second distillation tubes, thereby enabling the heat medium in the heating zone 101 to heat the liquid material located in the first and second distillation tubes; simultaneously, because the first distillation tube is sleeved outside the first cooling section 301 and the second distillation tube is sleeved outside the second cooling section 302, Therefore, when some liquid material in the first and second distillation tubes is heated and converted into gas, the first cooling section 301 and the second cooling section 302 located in the third shell section 1011 can condense the gas and form condensate on the outer walls of the first and second cooling sections 301 and 302. The condensate can fall downward along the outer walls of the first and second cooling sections 301 and 302, and flow into the first discharge space 1017 through the second end of the first and second distillation tubes. Meanwhile, the liquid material that has not been heated and converted into gas in the first and second distillation tubes can fall downward along the side wall of the first distillation tube away from the first cooling section 301 and the side wall of the second distillation tube away from the second cooling section 302. Thus, the arrangement of the first and second distillation tubes can perform liquid separation processing on the liquid material that has not been heated and converted into gas and the condensate.

[0054] Furthermore, the second end of the distillation tube 2 has a serrated structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, by designing the second end of the distillation tube 2 as a serrated structure, the liquid material inside the distillation tube 2 that has not been heated and converted into gas can fall down along the side wall of the distillation tube 2 away from the first cooling section 301 and accumulate on the serrated structure, so that this part of the liquid material falls down from the teeth on the serrated structure.

[0056] In some possible embodiments, the liquid separation assembly 4 includes a first cylindrical portion 401 and a second cylindrical portion 402. The first cylindrical portion 401 is sleeved on the outside of the first cooling section 301, and the second cylindrical portion 402 is sleeved on the outside of the second cooling section 302. The first end of the first cylindrical portion 401 and the first end of the second cylindrical portion 402 are both connected to the first discharge space 1017, and the second end of the first cylindrical portion 401 and the second end of the second cylindrical portion 402 are both connected to the second discharge space 1018.

[0057] Here, the cross-sectional diameters of both the first cylindrical section 401 and the second cylindrical section 402 are smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the distillation tube 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, by sleeved the first cylindrical portion 401 on the outside of the first cooling section 301 and the second cylindrical portion 402 on the outside of the second cooling section 302, and by connecting the first end of the first cylindrical portion 401 and the first end of the second cylindrical portion 402 to the first discharge space 1017 and the second end of the first cylindrical portion 401 and the second end of the second cylindrical portion 402 to the second discharge space 1018, the first discharge space 1017 and the second discharge space 1018 can be connected. This allows the condensed liquid to flow from the first discharge space 1017 into the second discharge space 1018 along the outer walls of the first cooling section 301 and the second cooling section 302, thereby achieving the separation treatment of the liquid material that has not been heated and converted into gas and the condensed liquid.

[0059] Furthermore, a fourth partition 1023 is provided between the fourth housing section 1012 and the fifth housing section 1013; the first cylindrical section 401 and the second cylindrical section 402 are located in the first discharge space 1017, and the second end of the first cylindrical section 401 and the second end of the second cylindrical section 402 are both fixed on the fourth partition 1023.

[0060] Here, by placing the first cylinder 401 and the second cylinder 402 within the first discharge space 1017, and fixing the second end of the first cylinder 401 and the second end of the second cylinder 402 to the fourth partition 1023, the first cylinder 401 and the second cylinder 402 can be fixed within the distillation tank 1.

[0061] Furthermore, the first cylindrical section 401 and the first cooling section 301 are coaxially arranged, and the second cylindrical section 402 and the second cooling section 302 are coaxially arranged.

[0062] In this embodiment, by coaxially arranging the first cylinder 401 and the first cooling section 301, and coaxially arranging the second cylinder 402 and the second cooling section 302, contact between the first cylinder 401 and the first cooling section 301, and contact between the second cylinder 402 and the second cooling section 302, can be avoided, thereby ensuring that the condensed liquid can smoothly flow from the first discharge space 1017 into the second discharge space 1018 along the outer walls of the first cooling section 301 and the second cooling section 302.

[0063] Furthermore, the fourth housing section 1012 is provided with a vacuum port 1024, which is connected to the first discharge space 1017.

[0064] Here, by connecting the vacuum port 1024 to the first discharge space 1017, the vacuum can not only act in the first discharge space 1017 and the second discharge space 1018, but also in the distillation tube 2 and the feed space 1016. In particular, the vacuum acting in the distillation tube 2 can make the easily vaporized part of the liquid material more easily converted into gas under the action of vacuum.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, a distributor 5 is provided at one end of the distillation tube 2 near the feed inlet 106. The distributor 5 is used to add the liquid material entering through the feed inlet 106 into the distillation tube 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing a distributor 5 at one end of the distillation tube 2 near the feed inlet 106, the liquid material entering through the feed inlet 106 can be evenly added into the distillation tube 2.
