Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-efficiency separation technology, specifically a high-efficiency separation device for TOP synthesis reaction based on vacuum dehydration. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional separation techniques face significant challenges in the synthesis of TOP (trioctylphosphine oxide). Existing processes often employ liquid-liquid extraction, such as using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (P204) as a complexing agent to separate rare earth ions from TOP through an acidic complexation system. However, this process relies on precise control of parameters such as pH and ligand concentration, and the extraction efficiency is significantly affected by emulsification, leading to large yield fluctuations. Furthermore, traditional thermal drying equipment requires multi-stage processing, resulting in large footprints, high energy consumption, and significant environmental impact. Additionally, the molecular sieves in the dryer need to be periodically disassembled and replaced, increasing costs and wasting time. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency separation device for the TOP synthesis reaction based on vacuum dehydration. Utility Model Content
