The invention belongs to the technical field of recycling of waste liquid containing
vinyl acetate and
isododecane, and discloses a method and a
system for separating and recycling waste liquid of an EVA (
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) device. The EVA device waste liquid is conveyed to a rectifying
machine for rectification separation,
vinyl acetate steam is obtained at the top, fraction liquid is obtained after condensation, one part of fraction liquid flows back into the rectifying
machine, and the other part of fraction liquid serves as a
vinyl acetate product to be extracted; the rectification residual liquid is conveyed to a first flash tank for
flash evaporation, so that part of
isododecane and residual vinyl acetate are subjected to
flash evaporation to form mixed
flash evaporation gas, and the mixed flash
evaporation gas is extracted from the top of the first flash
evaporation tank and sent back to the
reboiler to heat kettle liquid; and heating first flash
evaporation residual liquid discharged from the bottom of the first flash evaporation tank, feeding the first flash evaporation residual liquid into a second flash evaporation tank for flash evaporation, evaporating residual
isododecane from the top of the second flash evaporation tank, and condensing to obtain an isododecane product. According to the method, the waste liquid of the EVA device is treated by adopting a
separation method combining
supergravity reduced-pressure rectification with two-stage flash evaporation, so that the self-
polymerization reaction of vinyl acetate in the
separation process is effectively reduced.
