Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of C9 aromatics technology, specifically a C9 aromatics multi-stage reflux distillation tank. Background Technology
[0002] C9 heavy aromatics refer to mixed aromatics with a molecular weight greater than xylene. They are mainly derived from reformed heavy aromatics, cracked gasoline heavy aromatics, and coal tar. They are a type of mixed aromatics with C9 aromatics as the main component.
[0003] Existing aromatic distillation technology is a process for separating and purifying aromatic hydrocarbons. It is mainly used to separate and extract aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, from petroleum and coal tar. The aromatic distillation process generally involves heating the raw material mixture to a suitable temperature to evaporate the aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The heated mixture is then introduced into a distillation column for distillation. The evaporated aromatic hydrocarbon molecules rise to the top of the column, while the heavier substances sink to the bottom.
[0004] However, in existing distillation processes, when a large amount of aromatic molecule vapor is emitted upwards, it often carries some unreacted aromatic substances or some volatile catalytic solvents. Therefore, when the aromatic molecule vapor is cooled and liquefied in the subsequent process, a small amount of impurities are still present in the resulting liquid, which leads to poor distillation effect and fails to meet the rectification standard due to low purity. To address the above problems, a C9 aromatic multi-stage reflux distillation tank is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Combination Figure 1 This utility model discloses a C9 aromatics multi-stage reflux distillation tank, comprising a tank body 1, a conical top 27 fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, a condenser 2 connected through and fixedly connected to the top of the conical top 27, a collection tank 3 connected through and threaded to one end of the condenser 2, a lower distillation pot 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the tank body 1, a threaded condenser pipe 10 fixedly connected to the other end of the condenser 2, and the threaded condenser pipe 10 extending through and to one side of the condenser 2, and an external water pump connected to the threaded condenser pipe 10, which can sequentially deliver cold water to the threaded condenser pipe 10, the spiral conical pipe 7, and the treatment hood 6. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve 23 on the branch pipe 8 needs to be opened to deliver water to the treatment hood 6. The inner wall of the treatment hood 6 is provided with branch pipes 8, each branch pipe 8 having a solenoid valve 23 connected through and to one end. A liquid collection tank 3 is provided on one side of its outer wall. Level sensor 22 detects the liquid level, which is received by signal receiver (not shown in the figure) and transmitted to alarm (not shown in the figure) for reminder. Observation window 24 is provided on one side of the outer wall of tank 1 to facilitate observation of the internal condition of tank 1. Two temperature sensors 21 are provided on one side of the outer wall of tank 1. Two support plates 26 are fixedly connected to the bottom of tank 1. Two blocks 29 are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of tank 1. Two conveying pipes 15 are connected through and fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of lower distillation pot 4. A conveying pipe 15 is connected through and fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of upper distillation pot 5. The conveying pipes 15 can be used for conveying and output, and are controlled by solenoid valve 23. A conveying pipe 15 is connected through and fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of treatment hood 6. Solenoid valve 23 is provided at one end of each conveying pipe 15.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2Two connecting rods 28 are fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of tank 1. An upper distillation pot 5 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 28. Heating copper tubes 9 are spirally wound inside the walls of the lower distillation pot 4 and the upper distillation pot 5. The heat generated by the heating head (not shown in the figure) is efficiently conducted to the heating copper tubes 9, thus raising the temperature of the heating copper tubes 9. The temperature is then detected by a temperature sensor 21. A second guide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower distillation pot 4, and a processing hood 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper distillation pot 5. A first guide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing hood 6. When aromatic molecules rise, when they encounter the processing hood 6 and the spiral conical tube 7, the condensed water is drawn by the first guide plate. 11. A guide tube 10 is provided on the inner ring of the condenser tank 2 to facilitate entry into the upper distillation pot 5. One end of the threaded condenser tube 10 is connected to a spiral conical tube 7 through and fixedly connected to it. The other end of the spiral conical tube 7 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The other end of the spiral conical tube 7 is used to discharge the used cold water. The spiral conical tube 7 is a conical thread type to facilitate the entry of the condensed water into the upper distillation pot 5. The spiral conical tube 7 extends through and extends to one side of the tank body 1. A branch pipe 8 is connected through and fixedly connected to one side of the outer ring of the spiral conical tube 7. One end of the condenser tank 2 is threadedly connected to a collection tank 3. A rubber ring (not shown in the figure) is placed between the collection tank 3 and the tank 2 to increase its sealing. A mixing component is provided at the bottom of the body 1.
[0030] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mixing component includes a base plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the tank 1. A motor 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 14. When the controller (not shown in the figure) controls the motor 13 to work, it can drive the large gear 16 to rotate and the small gear 17 to rotate. The output end of the motor 13 passes through and is fixedly connected to the large gear 16. The outer ring of the large gear 16 is meshed with the evenly distributed small gears 17. The top of the small gear 17 passes through and is fixedly connected to the first stirring rod 18. The top of the large gear 16 passes through and is fixedly connected to the second stirring rod 19. When the second stirring rod 19 and the first stirring rod 18 rotate, they stir the material inside the lower distillation pot 4. The tops of the second stirring rod 19 and the first stirring rod 18 both pass through the upper distillation pot 5 and are fixedly connected to the third stirring rod 20. When the third stirring rod 20 rotates, it can stir the material collected in the upper distillation pot 5. A connecting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the base plate 14. The first stirring rod 18 and the second stirring rod 19 are passed through and rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 25.
[0031] Working principle: During use, the raw material mixture is added through the conveying pipe 15 above the lower distillation pot 4. Then, the controller (not shown in the figure) controls the motor 13 to work, driving the large gear 16 to rotate and the small gear 17 to rotate, thereby driving the first stirring rod 18 and the second stirring rod 19 to rotate, stirring the raw material mixture. At the same time, the second stirring rod 19 drives the third stirring rod 20 to rotate, stirring the inside of the upper distillation pot 5, improving the mixing effect and thus improving the distillation effect. Then, the controller controls the heating copper pipe 9 to be energized for heating, and the temperature sensor 21 detects the temperature. When the lower distillation pot 4 is heated, the raw material mixture inside distills, and the generated aromatic molecules rise. Then, a very small number of molecules pass through the gap between the baffle 29 and the processing hood 6. However, most aromatic molecules will enter the processing hood 6. At the same time, an external water pump connected to the threaded condenser 10 delivers cold water to the threaded condenser 10, the spiral conical tube 7, and the processing hood 6. When the rising aromatic molecules come into contact with the processing hood 6, they condense into water and flow into the upper distillation pot 5, with very little entering the lower distillation pot 4. Then, some aromatic molecules continue to rise and pass through the spiral conical tube 7. When passing through the spiral conical tube 7, they condense into water droplets and fall into the upper distillation pot 5. Distillation is carried out again in the upper distillation pot 5. The distilled aromatic molecules rise and enter the condenser tank 2 along with the subsequent aromatic molecules. The threaded condenser 10 condenses and collects in the collection tank 3. The liquid level sensor 22 detects the liquid level. By rotating the collection tank 3, the aromatic molecules can be removed.
