Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, and in particular to a multi-stage filtration and separation device for the purification of 2-bromo-4-nitroimidazole. Background Technology
[0002] 2-Bromo-4-nitroimidazole is an organic synthesis intermediate and pharmaceutical intermediate, used in laboratory research and development processes and chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. Crude 2-bromo-4-nitroimidazole requires purification. The crude solution is rapidly dissolved using a thin-film evaporator to obtain a concentrated solution. This concentrated solution is transferred to a crystallization vessel, where crystals are precipitated by temperature-controlled stirring. The crystals are then separated by filtration and dried to obtain the final product. Multi-stage filtration is typically used to separate the crystals and minimize crystal loss.
[0003] Existing multi-stage filtration equipment, such as the multi-stage filtration device for pharmaceutical production disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN220824516U, involves adding the drug to be filtered into the first filtration chamber. Under the action of the filter plates, large particulate impurities in the drug undergo preliminary filtration and separation. The drug, after preliminary filtration, then enters the second filtration chamber through a connecting pipe, passes through the filter tube to the inner tube for secondary filtration, and is discharged through the outlet pipe. This achieves multi-stage filtration of the drug in a single operation, simplifying the filtration process and improving filtration efficiency. The equipment is equipped with a pump, an air extraction pipe, and an air extraction head. During operation, the pump continuously extracts air from the inner tube to reduce the air pressure inside the inner tube, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the filter tube, thereby accelerating the filtration speed and further improving filtration efficiency.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned multi-stage filtration equipment has the following disadvantages when used for the purification of 2-bromo-4-nitroimidazole: 1. It lacks a material collection device, and the solid matter filtered out by the filter plate and filter tube cannot be automatically collected and discharged from the equipment. Manual collection will undoubtedly lead to a decrease in production efficiency; 2. Due to the design of using air extraction to accelerate filtration, the solid matter filtered out by the filter tube is easily adsorbed on the filter pores, which leads to a decrease in the effective filtration area of the filter tube, thereby reducing the filtration efficiency.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-stage filtration and separation device for the purification of 2-bromo-4-nitroimidazole, comprising a housing 1, a vacuum pump 3 fixedly connected to the housing 1, an air extraction pipe 31 connected to the input end of the vacuum pump 3, a first connector 32 connected to the input end of the air extraction pipe 31, a hollow shaft motor 33 mounted on the first connector 32, a hollow shaft body 34 connected to the output end of the hollow shaft motor 33, a second connector 35 connected to the bottom end of the hollow shaft body 34, a filter tube 36 connected to the second connector 35 and hinged inside the housing 1, a ratchet ring 37 fixedly connected to the filter tube 36, and multiple elastic pawls 310 engaged on the ratchet ring 37. A connecting rod 39 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the housing 1. A spiral blade 38 is sleeved inside the housing 1, and the connecting rod 39 is fixedly connected to the spiral blade 38. A scraper 311 is fixedly connected to the spiral blade 38. A material collection trough 312 is opened inside the housing 1, and the scraper 311 is slidably connected inside the material collection trough 312. A second discharge port 313 is opened inside the material collection trough 312, and a second discharge inclined plate 314 is fixedly connected inside the second discharge port 313. A vacuum pump 3 is used to evacuate the filter tube 36. The air extraction pipe 31, the first connector 32, the output shaft of the hollow shaft motor 33, the hollow shaft body 34, and the second connector 35 constitute the air extraction path. At the same time, the hollow shaft motor 33 is also used to drive the hollow shaft body 34, which drives the filter tube. The filter tube 36 rotates, filtering small crystal particles. When the filter tube 36 reverses, the ratchet ring 37 drives the elastic pawl 310. The elastic pawl 310 drives the spiral blade 38 via the connecting rod 39. The spiral blade 38 feeds the small crystal particles into the collection tank 312. The scraper 311 pushes the small crystal particles in the collection tank 312 into the second discharge port 313, allowing them to exit through the second discharge inclined plate 314. A mounting bracket 11 is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft motor 33 and is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The mounting bracket 11 is used to install the hollow shaft motor 33. A guide plate 12 is provided at the top of the collection tank 312 and is fixedly connected inside the housing 1. The guide plate 12 is used to guide the solution and prevent... The solution is prevented from entering the collection tank 312; a filter screen 21 is provided at the top of the mounting frame 11, and two drive rollers 22 are connected to the filter screen 21. The drive rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. A motor body 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the output end of the motor body 2 is fixedly connected to one of the drive rollers 22. The filter screen 21 is used for preliminary filtration of the solution to intercept large crystal particles. The motor body 2 drives the filter screen 21 through the drive rollers 22. A first guide strip 23 is provided at the top of the filter screen 21, and a second guide strip 24 is sleeved inside the filter screen 21. Both the first guide strip 23 and the second guide strip 24 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The first guide strip 23 and the second guide strip 24 are used to guide the filter screen 21.A first outlet 25 is provided on the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the filter screen 21. A first discharge ramp 26 is fixedly connected inside the first outlet 25 and is located on one side of the filter screen 21. The first discharge ramp 26 is used to intercept the crystals filtered by the filter screen 21, and the first outlet 25 is used to discharge the crystals. A drain pipe 13 is connected and fixed on the lower surface of the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the filter tube 36. The drain pipe 13 is used to discharge the filtrate filtered by the filter tube 36.
[0023] Working Principle: When using this invention, a solution containing crystals is fed onto the filter screen 21 inside the housing 1. Large crystal particles are intercepted by the filter screen 21, while small crystal particles and the solution pass through the filter screen 21 and are guided to the outside of the filter tube 36 via the guide plate 12. The drain valve on the drain pipe 13 is closed, and the vacuum pump 3 and the hollow shaft motor 33 are started. The vacuum pump 3 creates a vacuum in the filter tube 36 via the suction pipe 31, the first connector 32, the hollow shaft body 34, and the second connector 35, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the filter tube 36, accelerating the entry of the solution into the filter tube 36. The solution is temporarily stored in the drain pipe 13, and the hollow shaft motor 33 drives the filter tube 36 via the hollow shaft body 34. The rotation of the filter tube 36 generates centrifugal force, which throws away the small crystal particles attached to the surface. Once the solution has completely entered the drain pipe 13, the vacuuming can be stopped, the drain valve can be opened, and the solution can be discharged. Then, the hollow shaft motor 33 is reversed to drive the filter tube 36. When tube 36 is reversed, the filter tube 36 drives the elastic pawl 310 via the ratchet ring 37. The elastic pawl 310 drives the spiral blade 38 via the connecting rod 39. The scraper 311 on the spiral blade 38 moves accordingly. The spiral blade 38 transports the small crystal particles in the housing 1 to the collection trough 312. The scraper 311 pushes the small crystal particles in the collection trough 312 to the second discharge port 313 and discharges from the second discharge ramp 314. At the same time, the motor body 2 is started. The motor body 2 drives the transmission roller 22. The transmission roller 22 drives the filter screen 21. The large crystal particles on the filter screen 21 are intercepted by the first discharge ramp 26 and discharged from the first discharge port 25 along the first discharge ramp 26, thus realizing automatic discharge. Among them, the mounting bracket 11 is used to install the hollow shaft motor 33, the first guide bar 23 and the second guide bar 24 are used to guide the filter screen 21, and the drain valve is implemented using existing technology, so it is not shown in the figure.
