[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model discloses a separation and purification device for the production of pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate, comprising a polymerization reactor, a first filter connected to the bottom outlet of the polymerization reactor via a pipeline, a first decolorization tank connected to the liquid phase outlet of the first filter via a pipeline, an activated carbon tank connected to the inlet of the first decolorization tank via a pipeline, a second filter connected to the outlet of the first decolorization tank via a pipeline, a first vacuum distillation tank connected to the liquid phase outlet of the second filter via a pipeline, a recrystallization tank connected to the bottom gas phase outlet of the first vacuum distillation tank via a pipeline, an ethanol tank connected to the inlet of the recrystallization tank via a pipeline, a vacuum filtration tank connected to the bottom outlet of the vacuum filtration tank via a pipeline, a dryer connected to the bottom outlet of the dryer via a pipeline, and a pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate tank connected to the outlet of the dryer via a pipeline. After polymerization, the material first passes through a first filter to remove solid impurities. Then, in a first decolorization tank, activated carbon adsorption removes organic pigments and trace amounts of polymeric impurities. Next, the activated carbon is removed through a second filter. The solvent is then recovered in a first vacuum distillation tank to obtain a crude product. This crude product is then mixed with ethanol in a recrystallization tank for recrystallization. After crystal separation in a vacuum filtration tank, the product is dried in a dryer to obtain the final product. The entire process is interconnected, using multiple steps such as filtration, decolorization, distillation, and recrystallization to gradually remove different types of impurities, significantly improving the purity of the pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate product. Furthermore, the interconnected systems via pipelines enable continuous operation, increasing production efficiency.
[0016] The outlet of the second filter of this invention is connected to a second decolorizing tank via a pipeline. The inlet of the second decolorizing tank is connected to a diatomaceous earth tank via a pipeline. The outlet of the second decolorizing tank is connected to a third filter via a pipeline. The liquid phase outlet of the third filter is connected to the first vacuum distillation tank via a pipeline. Diatomaceous earth has a porous structure and a large specific surface area, which can adsorb colloidal impurities not completely removed by activated carbon, some polar small molecule impurities, and trace mechanical impurities, forming a complementary adsorption effect with activated carbon. After treatment by the second decolorizing tank and the third filter, the impurity content in the material is further reduced, providing a purer raw material for subsequent vacuum distillation and recrystallization, thereby further improving the purity of the final product. Especially for applications requiring extremely high purity, this improvement can effectively meet quality requirements.
[0017] The top vapor outlet of the first vacuum distillation tank is connected to a solvent recovery tank via a pipeline. This achieves efficient recovery of environmentally friendly solvents, avoiding resource waste and environmental pollution caused by direct solvent discharge. The recovered solvent can be reused in production processes such as esterification reactions after simple treatment, reducing raw material procurement costs and minimizing the potential health impact of solvent evaporation on operators, thus aligning with the concept of green production.
[0018] The top outlet of the filtration tank is connected to a first ethanol recovery tank via a pipeline. During the separation and recrystallization of crystals, the top of the filtration tank discharges an ethanol solution containing a small amount of product and impurities, which is then collected in the first ethanol recovery tank. This not only avoids direct ethanol loss, reducing ethanol consumption and production costs, but also allows for further processing of the recovered ethanol solution to extract a small amount of non-crystallized product, improving the overall utilization rate of raw materials and reducing the environmental impact of wastewater discharge.
[0019] The bottom outlet of the filtration tank is connected to a rinsing tank via a pipe. The inlet of the rinsing tank is connected to an ice-cold anhydrous ethanol tank via a pipe, and the outlet of the rinsing tank is connected to the dryer via a pipe. The crystals obtained through filtration may have a small amount of impurities adsorbed on their surface. Introducing ice-cold anhydrous ethanol into the rinsing tank washes the crystals. The low temperature of the ice-cold anhydrous ethanol reduces dissolution loss during rinsing and effectively dissolves and removes impurities from the crystal surface. The rinsed crystals directly enter the dryer, ensuring the continuity of impurity removal, further improving product purity, and making the final product quality more stable and reliable.
[0020] The outlet of the rinsing tank is connected to a second ethanol recovery tank via a pipeline. After rinsing the crystals, the rinsing tank discharges an anhydrous ethanol solution containing impurities, which is then collected in the second ethanol recovery tank. This design achieves the recovery of ethanol used for rinsing. In conjunction with the first ethanol recovery tank, it comprehensively recovers ethanol waste generated at different stages of the production process, minimizing ethanol waste and reducing the amount of ethanol purchased. Simultaneously, it provides raw materials for subsequent ethanol purification and reuse, enhancing the economic and environmental benefits of the production process.
[0021] The first and second ethanol recovery tanks are connected to a distillation vessel via pipelines. The top vapor outlet of the distillation vessel is connected to an ethanol purification tank via a pipeline. The ethanol solution collected in the first and second ethanol recovery tanks is introduced into the distillation vessel for distillation, separating the ethanol from impurities. The ethanol vapor produced during distillation enters the ethanol purification tank for further purification, yielding ethanol with higher purity. This process achieves the regeneration and reuse of ethanol. The recovered ethanol can be reused in steps such as recrystallization, reducing the amount of new ethanol used, lowering production costs, and preventing the indiscriminate discharge of ethanol waste, thus meeting the requirements of a circular economy.
[0022] The outlet of the ethanol purification tank is connected to the ethanol tank via a pipeline. The high-purity ethanol purified in the purification tank is directly transferred to the ethanol tank, achieving a closed-loop recycling of ethanol. This eliminates the need to transport the recovered ethanol to external processing facilities for repurchase, simplifying the production process, reducing transportation costs and losses in intermediate stages, ensuring stable quality of ethanol used for recrystallization, further reducing environmental pollution, and improving the sustainability of the production process.
[0023] The bottom outlet of the distillation kettle is connected via a pipe to a second vacuum distillation tank, and the bottom outlet of the second vacuum distillation tank is connected via a pipe to a concentrate tank. The residual liquid discharged from the bottom of the distillation kettle contains a small amount of uncrystallized product and impurities. This liquid is introduced into the second vacuum distillation tank for vacuum distillation concentration, which removes some of the solvent from the residual liquid, yielding a concentrate that is collected in the concentrate tank. The concentrate contains a certain amount of product, which can be returned to the esterification reaction stage to participate in the reaction again, realizing the secondary recycling of the product, improving the overall conversion rate and utilization rate of raw materials, reducing resource waste, and minimizing material loss during the production process.

Next, it passes through a second filter 5 to remove activated carbon. Following this, the solvent is recovered in a first vacuum distillation tank 6 to obtain a crude product. The crude product then enters a recrystallization tank 7 to be mixed with ethanol for recrystallization. After crystal separation in a suction filtration tank 9, the product is dried in a dryer 10 to obtain the final product. The entire process is interconnected, with multiple steps including filtration, decolorization, distillation, and recrystallization to gradually remove different types of impurities, significantly improving the purity of the pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate product.

Diatomaceous earth has a porous structure and a large specific surface area, which can adsorb colloidal impurities not completely removed by activated carbon, some polar small molecule impurities, and trace mechanical impurities, forming a complementary adsorption effect with activated carbon. After treatment by the second decolorization tank 12 and the third filter 14, the impurity content in the material is further reduced, providing a purer raw material for subsequent vacuum distillation and recrystallization, thereby further improving the purity of the final product. Especially for applications requiring extremely high purity, this improvement can effectively meet quality requirements.
[0030] The top vapor outlet of the first vacuum distillation tank 6 is connected to a solvent recovery tank 15 via a pipeline. This achieves efficient recovery of environmentally friendly solvents, avoiding resource waste and environmental pollution caused by direct solvent discharge.

The ethanol solution collected in the first ethanol recovery tank 16 and the second ethanol recovery tank 19 is introduced into the distillation vessel 20 for distillation, which separates the ethanol from its impurities. The ethanol vapor generated during distillation enters the ethanol purification tank 21 for further purification, yielding ethanol with higher purity. This process realizes the regeneration and reuse of ethanol. The recovered ethanol can be reused in steps such as recrystallization, reducing the amount of new ethanol used, lowering production costs, and avoiding the indiscriminate discharge of ethanol waste liquid, which is in line with the development requirements of a circular economy.
