Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a multifunctional adsorption-distillation coupled purification device, belonging to the field of chemical separation technology. Background Technology
[0002] An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more homogeneous solutions of different components that, when mixed in a specific ratio, have only one boiling point under a fixed pressure. When an azeotrope reaches its azeotropic point, the gaseous and liquid components produced by boiling are in exactly the same proportion, making separation impossible by simple distillation or fractional distillation. Specialized distillation methods are typically used to separate azeotropes, such as azeotropic distillation, extractive distillation, and adsorption distillation.
[0003] Adsorption-distillation coupling technology is a novel separation process that organically combines adsorption separation and distillation separation. This technology overcomes the limitations of single separation methods through synergistic effects, combining the advantages of a high separation factor in adsorption and a continuous distillation process. With the development of new materials and intelligent control technologies, this technology is expected to achieve industrial applications in more fields, providing more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for chemical separation.

By using the selective adsorption of specific components by the adsorbent, the initial separation of azeotropes can be achieved. Then, by changing the composition of the azeotropes, the phase equilibrium of the system can be changed, which facilitates the further separation of gas-liquid equilibrium components by distillation.
[0011] 2. During adsorption separation, the material can be switched between top inlet and bottom outlet and bottom inlet and top outlet by using a combination of valves. At the same time, the outlet of the tubular reactor (4) is equipped with a system pressure controller (7), which can realize pressure swing adsorption separation of the tubular reactor (4). It is convenient to use and has great operational flexibility.
[0012] 3. The mixture collected from the top of the distillation column (8) can be returned to the feed switching three-way valve (1) through the top reflux valve (11) and then subjected to secondary adsorption separation through the tubular reactor (4). At the same time, the tubular reactor (4) is equipped with a bypass diversion valve to facilitate the development of the adsorption process.
[0013] 4. The coupled operation of adsorption and distillation can overcome the azeotropic limitation, while reducing energy consumption and saving equipment space and construction investment. Attached Figure Description
