This invention belongs to the field of
pivalic acid production technology, specifically a catalyst recycling device and a continuous
pivalic acid production process, including a base; a
hydrolysis reactor is fixedly connected to the base; by opening the
solenoid valve on the second
water pipe, the
impurity layer is fed into the mixer, and bleaching clay is added into the feed
pipe to mix with the
impurity layer in the mixer. The mixed
slurry is sent to the treatment tank for
filtration, and finally the filtered liquid is pumped back to the
hydrolysis reactor for recycling
hydrolysis through the first return
pipe; while the dilute
sulfuric acid can be discharged from the hydrolysis reactor after the
impurity layer is treated by opening the
solenoid valve on the third
water pipe for concentration treatment, and the concentrated
sulfuric acid is returned to the high-
pressure reactor for recycling. This device, through its
layered structure design, achieves effective separation of various components and recycling of the catalyst in the
continuous production of
pivalic acid, which not only improves the overall production efficiency, but also reduces production costs and waste emissions, resulting in significant
economic benefits.
