Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chloroether resin monomer recovery technology, and is a chloroether resin monomer recovery and separation device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of vinyl chloride ether resin using emulsion polymerization, vinyl chloride and vinyl isobutyl ether monomers are mixed in a specific ratio to form an emulsion, which is then added to a polymerization reactor for emulsion polymerization. At the end of the reaction, most of the unreacted vinyl isobutyl ether dissolves in the emulsion, with a small amount accumulating at the top of the polymerization reactor. The vast majority of the unreacted vinyl chloride exists in a gaseous state in the top space of the polymerization reactor. After the reaction is completed, a terminator is added to recover the unreacted vinyl chloride. After recovery, the reaction product is transferred to a deetherification reactor to remove residual vinyl isobutyl ether before further processing and drying.
[0003] The conversion rate of the above polymerization reaction is as high as 85% to 90%. Unreacted vinyl chloride monomer enters the compressor buffer tank and is then pressurized by the compressor for recycling. However, because the emulsion method for vinyl chloride ether resin reaction contains emulsifiers, a large amount of foam is easily generated during the vinyl chloride monomer recovery process, carrying various impurities such as polymerization emulsion, other monomers, residual additives, and water. When this foam enters the subsequent condensation and recovery system, it causes severe blockage of the vinyl chloride recovery condenser, recovery monomer storage tank, and pipelines, increasing the frequency of cleaning the recovery system. Simultaneously, it increases operational safety risks and production costs, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the plant. Furthermore, the recovered vinyl chloride is of poor quality; reusing it in the polymerization reaction not only affects the safe and stable operation of the polymerization system but also causes fluctuations in product viscosity and other test indicators, thus affecting product quality.
[0004] Therefore, it is essential to research and invent a device for the recovery and separation of chloroether resin monomers. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a chloroethylene resin monomer recovery and separation device that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. It can effectively solve the problems of foam entrainment, easy clogging of the recovery system, and poor quality of recovered vinyl chloride monomer in the existing chloroethylene resin production monomer recovery process, which in turn affect product quality.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is achieved through the following measures: a chloroether resin monomer recovery and separation device, including a polymerization kettle, a demister, a filter, a gas-liquid separation tank, and a wastewater tank. A first monomer recovery pipeline is fixedly connected between the top outlet of the polymerization kettle and the bottom inlet of the demister. A second monomer recovery pipeline is fixedly connected between the top outlet of the demister and the left inlet of the filter. A third monomer recovery pipeline is fixedly connected between the right outlet of the filter and the left inlet of the gas-liquid separation tank. A wastewater pipeline is fixedly connected between the bottom outlet of the gas-liquid separation tank and the inlet of the wastewater tank. A fourth monomer recovery pipeline is fixedly connected to the top outlet of the gas-liquid separation tank.
[0007] The following are further optimizations and / or improvements to the above-mentioned utility model technical solution:
[0008] The aforementioned demister is equipped with a demister mesh.
[0009] The filter described above contains a filter element with a filtration accuracy of 10 microns.
[0010] A first pressure gauge is fixedly installed on the aforementioned demister.
[0011] The gas-liquid separator is equipped with a second pressure gauge, a thermometer, and a level gauge.
[0012] The first unit recovery pipeline is fixedly equipped with a first recovery shut-off valve and a recovery regulating valve in sequence according to the medium flow direction. The fourth unit recovery pipeline is fixedly equipped with a second recovery shut-off valve, and the wastewater pipeline is fixedly equipped with a liquid level regulating valve.
[0013] The above also includes a PLC controller, which is equipped with a DCS control system. The first pressure gauge, the second pressure gauge, the thermometer, the level gauge, the first recovery shut-off valve, the recovery regulating valve, the level regulating valve, and the second recovery shut-off valve are all connected to the DCS control system. An interlock is provided between the level gauge and the level regulating valve.
[0014] This invention features a reasonable and compact structure, making it easy to use. Through a demister, filter, and gas-liquid separator, it recovers unreacted vinyl chloride monomer from the emulsion polymerization process used to produce vinyl chloride resin. The purity of the recovered vinyl chloride monomer is increased to over 95%, effectively alleviating the problem of vinyl chloride self-polymerization blockage in the recovery system equipment and pipelines, and significantly extending the cleaning cycle of the recovery system. This invention not only significantly improves the utilization rate of recovered monomers but also significantly enhances the stability of product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In this invention, after the polymerization reaction of the emulsion polymerization process for producing chloroethylene resin is completed, the recovered gas containing vinyl chloride monomer is discharged from the top of the polymerization reactor 1 and passes sequentially through the demister 2, filter 3, and gas-liquid separator 4 to remove entrained foam, powder and other impurity particles, water, and additives dissolved in water droplets, respectively, to obtain recovered vinyl chloride monomer with a purity of 95%.

[0025] As needed, when the recovered gas containing vinyl chloride monomer enters the demister 2, the entrained foam rises at a certain speed, collides and breaks with the fine wire mesh, and the small droplets formed are partially attached to the surface of the fine wire mesh. When the gravity exceeds the upward force of the gas and the surface tension of the liquid, the droplets separate from the fine wire mesh and fall.

An interlock is provided between the level gauge 14 and the level regulating valve 18.
[0032] As needed, during the recovery of the vinyl chloride monomer recovery gas, the recovery gas volume is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the recovery regulating valve 16 according to the pressure change inside the polymerization reactor 1; the wastewater obtained by the gas-liquid separator 4 is collected in the wastewater tank 5.
[0033] Depending on the needs, the pipelines and equipment of this chloroether resin monomer recovery and separation device may also be equipped with conventional valves, thermometers, and pressure gauges known in the art, according to production requirements. The PLC controller can be a Siemens S7-1500, which is equipped with a Yokogawa CS3000 DCS control system.
[0034] Before and after use: Before use, the purity of recovered vinyl chloride monomer was about 90%, and the cleaning cycle of the recovery system was 15 days; after use, the purity of recovered vinyl chloride can reach more than 95%, and the cleaning cycle of the recovery system is extended to more than 60 days.
[0035] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of this utility model, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
[0036] The usage process of this utility model embodiment is as follows: First, the recovered gas containing vinyl chloride monomer enters the demister 2 through the first monomer recovery pipeline 6 for preliminary recovery and separation to obtain the first recovered gas; then, the first recovered gas enters the filter 3 through the second monomer recovery pipeline 7 for further recovery and separation to obtain the second recovered gas; finally, the second recovered gas is further recovered and separated in the gas-liquid separator 4 to obtain recovered vinyl chloride monomer and wastewater.
