Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of taurine preparation, and in particular to a continuous purification treatment device for crude taurine. Background Technology
[0002] Taurine, also known as taurine or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is one of the essential amino acids required by the human body under certain conditions. As a non-protein amino acid, taurine has significant physiological effects on physical performance and a series of unique functions in the cardiovascular system, enhancing physical fitness and relieving fatigue. Taurine also possesses anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and blood pressure-lowering effects. Furthermore, it plays a beneficial role in infant brain development, nerve conduction, visual function, and calcium absorption. Therefore, taurine is increasingly gaining broad commercial and social value in food, health products, medicine, and organic synthesis, with rapid market demand growth and promising application prospects.
[0003] Currently, in the synthesis and production of taurine, crude taurine requires decolorization with activated carbon followed by solid-liquid separation. In existing technologies, the impurities generated during activated carbon decolorization and thermal dissolution cannot be processed continuously, resulting in low taurine production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a continuous purification device for crude taurine, which has the advantages of thorough impurity removal and continuous operation.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows.
[0006] A continuous purification treatment device for crude taurine, characterized in that: it includes a hot melting kettle, the top of which is provided with inlets for activated carbon and crude taurine, and the top of the hot melting kettle is connected to a water tank; the outlet at the bottom of the hot melting kettle is connected to a mother liquor filtration device through a first pipeline, and the mother liquor filtration device is connected to the top of the hot melting kettle through a second pipeline; the second pipeline is connected to the top of a crystallization kettle through a third pipeline, and the third pipeline is provided with a first shut-off valve; a second shut-off valve is provided between the third pipeline and the top of the hot melting kettle; and a first vacuum pump is provided on the second pipeline.
[0007] The discharge port at the bottom of the crystallization kettle is connected to the inlet of the first solid-liquid separation device; the outlet of the first solid-liquid separation device is connected to the concentration crystallization kettle; the outlet at the bottom of the concentration crystallization kettle is connected to the inlet of the second solid-liquid separation device; the concentration crystallization kettle is equipped with several pH measuring devices, and the top of the concentration crystallization kettle is connected to the sulfuric acid tank; the outlet of the second solid-liquid separation device is connected to the electrodialysis device through an electric heating device; the concentrated water outlet of the electrodialysis device is connected to the concentration crystallization kettle; the fresh water outlet of the electrodialysis device is connected to the hot melt kettle; and the concentration crystallization kettle is connected to an external tail gas treatment device.
[0008] Its beneficial effects are as follows: activated carbon and crude taurine are added through the inlet, water is added to the water tank, and the mixture is heated in the hot dissolving kettle to form a mother liquor. The mother liquor is then repeatedly filtered through a mother liquor filtration device to remove impurities such as activated carbon. The clean mother liquor is then cooled and crystallized in a crystallization kettle. The cooled and crystallized liquid is then separated into solid and liquid in the first solid-liquid separation device. The separated solid is clean taurine, and the separated liquid is taurine wastewater, the main component of which is ammonium salt.
[0009] Taurine wastewater enters a concentration and crystallization kettle, where it is heated and concentrated. Then, it is cooled and crystallized. Finally, the crystallized material is fed into a second solid-liquid separation unit for solid-liquid separation. The resulting solid is ammonium salt, primarily ammonium sulfate, obtained through cooling crystallization. The separated liquid is first heated to 40 degrees Celsius by an electric heater and then sent to an electrodialysis unit. The concentrated liquid outlet of the electrodialysis unit is further concentrated at the material inlet at the top of the concentration and crystallization kettle. The freshwater outlet of the electrodialysis unit is connected to a hot-melt kettle, allowing the freshwater to be utilized. Because the liquid entering the electrodialysis unit has a relatively high temperature, the increased ion transport rate and reduced membrane and solution resistance will increase the desalination capacity and rate, improving the quality of the freshwater. Heating the separated liquid first by an electric heater ensures that no heat is wasted, whether it enters the hot-melt kettle or the concentration and crystallization kettle, resulting in energy savings. The concentration crystallization kettle is equipped with several pH measuring devices. The top of the kettle is connected to a sulfuric acid tank, allowing precise control of sulfuric acid flow. This ensures all ammonia ions react to form ammonium sulfate, which then crystallizes and precipitates out, resulting in thorough wastewater treatment. This invention continuously crystallizes salts from wastewater. The entire treatment process is primarily physical, preventing the introduction of new impurities into the system. The process is continuous, fast, and relatively low-cost.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figure 13-17The first opening 42, the second opening 44, and the third opening 46 of the first solid-liquid separation device 4 all face to the right; the fixed drum 43 includes a fixed drum peripheral sidewall and a fixed drum bottom sidewall, the fixed drum bottom sidewall seals the left end opening of the fixed drum peripheral sidewall, and the right end opening of the fixed drum peripheral sidewall is the first opening 42; the outer rotating drum 45 includes an outer rotating drum peripheral sidewall and an outer rotating drum bottom sidewall, the outer rotating drum bottom sidewall seals the left end opening of the outer rotating drum peripheral sidewall, and the right end opening of the outer rotating drum peripheral sidewall is the second opening 44; the inner rotating drum 47 includes an inner rotating drum peripheral sidewall and an inner rotating drum bottom sidewall, the inner rotating drum bottom sidewall seals the left end opening of the inner rotating drum peripheral sidewall, and the right end opening of the inner rotating drum peripheral sidewall is the third opening 46.
[0073] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the second solid-liquid separation device 6 has the same structure as the first solid-liquid separation device 4, except that the first opening 42, the second opening 44, and the third opening 46 of the second solid-liquid separation device 6 all face to the left.

[0076] like Figure 12As shown, the crystallization vessel 3 is equipped with a second thermometer 31, a second pressure gauge 32, and a second stirring device 33; a second jacket 34 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the crystallization vessel 3, and a second coil 35 is provided on the second jacket 34. The inlet of the second coil 35 is connected to the first chilled brine inlet pipe 36, and the outlet of the second coil 35 is connected to the first chilled brine outlet pipe 37.
[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, the eighth pipe 711 is equipped with a third vacuum pump 718, and the ninth pipe 712 is equipped with a fourth vacuum pump 719.

[0079] Figure 8 As shown, the concentration crystallization kettle 5 is equipped with a third thermometer 51, a third pressure gauge 52, a third stirring device 53, and a second pressure relief valve 54; a third jacket 55 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the concentration crystallization kettle 5, and a third coil 56 is provided on the third jacket 55. The inlet of the third coil 56 is connected to the second chilled brine inlet pipe 57, and the outlet of the third coil 56 is connected to the second chilled brine outlet pipe 58.
[0080] The third jacket 55 is provided with a fourth coil 59. The inlet of the fourth coil 59 is connected to the second steam inlet pipe 510, and the outlet of the fourth coil 59 is connected to the second steam outlet pipe 511.
[0081] Its beneficial effects are as follows: activated carbon and crude taurine are added through inlet 11, water is added to tank 9, and the mixture is heated in hot dissolving kettle 1 to form mother liquor. The mother liquor is then repeatedly filtered through mother liquor filtration device 2 to remove impurities such as activated carbon. The clean mother liquor is then cooled and crystallized in crystallization kettle 3. The cooled and crystallized liquid is then separated into solid and liquid in the first solid-liquid separation device. The separated solid is clean taurine, and the separated liquid is taurine wastewater, the main component of which is ammonium salt.
[0082] Taurine wastewater enters a concentration crystallization kettle 5, where it is heated and concentrated, then cooled and crystallized. The crystallized material is then fed into a second solid-liquid separation device 6 for solid-liquid separation. The resulting solid is ammonium salt, primarily ammonium sulfate, obtained through cooling crystallization. During heating and concentration, evaporation is stopped when the supersaturation of the material in the concentration crystallization kettle 5 reaches 1.05. During cooling crystallization, sulfuric acid is injected into the concentration crystallization kettle 5, maintaining a pH of 5. The material temperature is cooled to 5°C. A pH measuring device controls the sulfate ion concentration, ensuring that ammonia ions are fully absorbed to form ammonium sulfate during cooling crystallization. The solid obtained by the second solid-liquid separation device is primarily ammonium sulfate crystals. The separated liquid is first heated to 40°C by an electric heating device 81, then fed into an electrodialysis device 8. The concentrated liquid outlet of the electrodialysis device 8 is further concentrated at the material inlet at the top of the concentration crystallization kettle 5. The freshwater outlet of the electrodialysis device 8 is connected to a hot melt kettle 1, where the freshwater is utilized. Because the liquid entering the electrodialysis unit has a relatively high temperature, the increased temperature leads to a higher ion transport rate in the water, while the reduced resistance of the membrane and solution increases the desalination capacity and rate, thus improving the quality of the freshwater. The separated liquid is first heated by an electric heating device 81, ensuring that no heat is wasted, whether it enters the hot melting kettle 1 or the concentration crystallization kettle 5, resulting in energy savings. The concentration crystallization kettle 5 is equipped with several pH measuring devices 101, and its top is connected to a sulfuric acid tank 102. Precise control of sulfuric acid flow into the concentration crystallization kettle 5 ensures that all ammonia ions react to form ammonium sulfate, which then crystallizes out, resulting in thorough wastewater treatment. This invention continuously crystallizes salts from wastewater, and the entire treatment process is primarily physical, without introducing new impurities into the system. The entire process is continuous, fast, and relatively low-cost.
