Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of analytical purification equipment technology, and more specifically to a chromatography purification device for chemical production processes. Background Technology
[0002] Chromatography is short for "chromatographic analysis." It is a method of separating and determining multi-component mixtures by utilizing the differences in the physical properties of their components. There are two types: adsorption chromatography and partition chromatography. It is generally used for the analysis of organic compounds, metal ions, amino acids, etc. Chromatography utilizes the different partition ratios of substances between the stationary phase and the mobile phase to achieve separation. Chromatography has extremely high resolution for the separation and analysis of complex organic mixtures of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.
[0003] In the process of chromatographic purification, some solutions need to be kept at low or high temperatures. However, existing chromatographic purification equipment is characterized by its large size and complicated structure, and cannot effectively cool or heat the solution.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] A chromatography purification device for chemical production processes, used in conjunction with detection equipment, combined with... Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes a buffer bottle 1, a stock solution bottle 2, a chromatography column 3, a nitrogen bottle 4, a pressurizer 5, a receiving bottle 6, a waste liquid bottle 7, a temperature control rack 8, a column casing 9, an inlet 10, an outlet 11, a temperature sensor 12, a first delivery line 13, a second delivery line 14, a third delivery line 15, and a fourth delivery line 16.
[0018] Buffer bottle 1 contains buffer solution, which is used for cleaning, equilibration, elution and sterilization of chromatography column 3.
[0019] The buffer bottle 1 is connected to the first delivery line 13, and the other end of the first delivery line 13 is connected to the corresponding chromatography column 3. The chromatography column 3 is vertically arranged and has a pressure chamber at the top. The chromatography column 3 is filled with nanoscale packing material, which has a larger specific surface area and a more uniform pore size distribution, increasing the interaction sites between the packing material and sample molecules, thus improving the separation efficiency by more than 30% compared with the traditional chromatography column 3.
[0020] The inlet of the chromatography column 3 is connected to a second delivery line 14, and the other end of the second delivery line 14 is connected to a stock solution bottle 2, which contains the solution to be purified by chromatography.
[0021] The chromatography column 3 is equipped with a pressurization mechanism to accelerate the chromatography process. The controlled end of the pressurization mechanism is connected to a PLC controller. The pressurization mechanism includes a nitrogen cylinder 4, which is connected to a pressurization pipeline. The other end of the pressurization pipeline is connected to the pressurization chamber of the chromatography column 3, and a pressurizer is installed on the pressurization pipeline. The pressurizer is a pressurizer with a pressure regulating valve, and the chromatography column 3 is equipped with a pressure relief valve.
[0022] A temperature control frame 8 with a hollow structure is provided outside the chromatography column 3 for adjusting the temperature of the chromatography column 3, and the temperature control frame 8 is filled with a liquid for heat absorption or release. The temperature control frame 8 is installed on the outside of the chromatography column 3 via a support frame, connecting rod, etc. The temperature control frame 8 is made of one of the following materials: plastic, resin, or metal. A liquid inlet 10 is provided at the top of the temperature control frame 8, and a liquid outlet 11 is provided at the bottom. The liquid inside the temperature control frame 8 is water, and a temperature sensor 12 is installed inside the temperature control frame 8. The output terminal of the temperature sensor 12 is connected to a PLC controller. Several vertically arranged column sleeves 9 are inserted through the temperature control frame 8. The sidewalls of the column sleeves 9 are in contact with the sidewalls of the chromatography column 3 to conduct heat. The temperature control frame 8 can maintain the low temperature at room temperature for a relatively long time (15 minutes to 2 hours) after reaching the low temperature state. Depending on the required temperature, the liquid in the temperature control rack 8 can be replaced. Similarly, after the liquid in the temperature control rack 8 has been heated, a low-temperature solution can be continuously fed into the temperature control rack 8 by connecting it to the liquid inlet 10. Likewise, if the chromatography process requires continuous heating, a liquid of appropriate temperature can be directly filled into the temperature control rack 8, or a warm liquid can be continuously circulated into the temperature control rack 8.
[0023] The temperature control rack 8 can be paired with a single chromatography column, or multiple column packing tubes can be set on one temperature control rack to simultaneously control the temperature of multiple chromatography columns.
[0024] The outlet of the chromatography column 3 is connected to the third delivery line 15, and the other end of the third delivery line 15 is connected to the receiving bottle 6 for receiving samples. The receiving bottle 6 is connected to a detection device, which can monitor the results of the chromatography purification in real time. The third delivery line 15 is connected to the fourth delivery line 16, and the other end of the fourth delivery line 16 is connected to the waste liquid bottle 7 for collecting waste liquid. Pumps and solenoid valves are installed on the first delivery line 13 and the second delivery line 14. The controlled ends of the pumps and solenoid valves are connected to a PLC controller, and the PLC controller is connected to an audible and visual alarm.
[0025] The first conveying pipeline 13, the second conveying pipeline 14, the third conveying pipeline 15, and the fourth conveying pipeline 16 are made of stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has strong corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the pipeline.
[0026] In practical use, the solution in the temperature control rack 8 is filled according to the temperature conditions. After filling, the stock solution to be purified by chromatography enters the chromatography column 3 through the second pipeline. Under the action of the pressurization mechanism, the sample flow rate in the chromatography column 3 is significantly increased. During the chromatography process, if the temperature sensor 12 in the temperature control rack 8 detects that the temperature exceeds the set value, the PLC controller controls the audible and visual alarm to remind the operator. The operator adds liquid at the appropriate temperature through the liquid inlet 10 of the temperature control rack 8, while the excess liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet 11, thereby adjusting the temperature of the temperature control rack 8 to ensure the smooth progress of the chromatography process. The chromatographically extracted sample enters the receiving bottle 6 through the third delivery pipeline 15, and the waste liquid from the buffer rinsing enters the waste liquid bottle 7 through the fourth delivery pipeline.
