[0002] Carbazine is a widely used chemical in the chemical industry, encompassing various types such as carbazine hydrochloride and diphenylcarbazine. Currently, industrial production technologies for carbazine are quite mature, primarily including the urea process, dimethyl carbonate process, and phosgene process. The urea process utilizes readily available and relatively inexpensive raw materials, urea and hydrazine hydrate, and offers relatively mild and controllable reaction conditions. However, in actual production, due to the presence of metal ions and organic impurities in the raw materials and byproducts of the synthesis process, most existing technologies employ crystallization to remove these impurities, resulting in low product purity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an impurity removal system for carbazine to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0014] The impurity removal system used in the production of carbazine includes an evaporator, the outlet of which is connected to a first filter, the outlet of which is connected to a sedimentation tank, the outlet of which is connected to a second filter, the outlet of which is connected to a sediment storage tank, the outlet of which is connected to a first adsorption device, the outlet of which is connected to a cation exchange resin column, the outlet of which is connected to an anion exchange resin column, the outlet of which is connected to a second adsorption device, the outlet of which is connected to a crystallization tank, the crystal outlet of which is connected to a drying device, and the outlet of which is connected to a product storage tank. In actual production, the synthesized carbazide solution is pumped into an evaporator to remove free water and some low-boiling-point impurities (such as free hydrazine). The evaporated solution then enters the first filtration unit to remove mechanical impurities and particulate byproducts. The filtered liquid is then pumped into a precipitation tank where it reacts with oxalic acid solution, causing iron and copper ions to precipitate. The precipitate then enters the second filtration unit, where it is pumped into the first adsorption unit to remove some water, small-molecule organic impurities, and pigments. It then enters a cation exchange resin column for further removal of metal ions, followed by an anion exchange resin column for anion removal. The solution then enters the second adsorption unit, where the adsorption material further removes pigments and small-molecule impurities. Finally, the purified solution is pumped into a crystallization tank, where the collected crystals are cooled and dried to obtain high-purity carbazide, which is then stored in a product storage tank. The above-mentioned production system is reasonably designed and achieves the separation of impurities and carbazine, which greatly improves the purity of carbazine.

The vessel body is fitted with a jacket, and a rotating shaft is located inside. One end of the shaft is connected to a motor, and multiple stirring rods with impurities are mounted on the shaft. The carbazide solution containing impurities enters the vessel body via a pump. The solution is heated by a heat transfer medium in the jacket. After the motor starts, the electric rotating shaft, along with the stirring rods and impurities, stirs and mixes the solution, ensuring uniform heating. This facilitates the discharge of free water and low-boiling-point small-molecule organic impurities through the outlet, achieving initial impurity removal from the solution.
[0016] The first filtration device is an ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 1000-100000 Da, which can effectively remove mechanical impurities and particulate byproducts.
[0017] The precipitation vessel consists of a vessel body with a feed inlet and an oxalic acid solution inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. Inside the vessel body is a rotating shaft, one end of which is connected to a motor. A stirring frame with multiple stirring plates is mounted on the shaft. In actual production, carbazide solution containing metal ions is pumped into the vessel body, and oxalic acid solution is added. Once the motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft, stirring frame, and stirring plates to rotate, promoting full contact and reaction between the oxalic acid solution and the metal ions in the carbazide solution, facilitating precipitate formation and thus achieving separation from the carbazide solution.
[0018] The second filtration device is a plate and frame filter press, which facilitates the effective separation of ferric oxalate and copper oxalate precipitates from the feed solution containing carbazine.
[0019] The first adsorption device includes a main body with a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. The interior of the main body contains a zeolite adsorption layer, and below the zeolite adsorption layer is an alumina adsorption layer. The zeolite adsorption layer enables the adsorption of small-molecule volatile impurities (such as hydrazine and ammonia), while the alumina adsorption layer enables the adsorption of colored impurities, thereby improving the purity of carbazide.
[0020] The second adsorption device includes a main body with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The interior of the main body contains an activated carbon adsorption layer and a silica gel adsorption layer. The activated carbon adsorption layer further adsorbs pigment impurities and polar impurities, while the silica gel adsorption layer adsorbs polar impurities, thereby improving the purity of carbazine.
[0021] The crystallization vessel comprises a vessel body with a feed inlet at the top and a crystal outlet at the bottom, and a liquid outlet on one side of the lower part of the vessel body. A filter screen is installed inside the vessel body corresponding to the liquid outlet. The vessel body is equipped with a jacket, and a rotating shaft is located inside, with one end connected to a motor and multiple stirring plates mounted on the shaft. The feed solution containing carbazine enters the vessel body and is cooled to the crystallization temperature by a refrigerant in the jacket. After the motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft and multiple stirring plates to stir the feed solution, promoting uniform cooling and greatly improving crystallization efficiency. Uncrystallized impurities in the mother liquor are extracted through the filter screen by a suction pump. This crystallization vessel design is reasonable, achieving effective crystallization of carbazine while also separating carbazine from impurities. Attached Figure Description
