The invention discloses a device and a method for preparing high-purity tetrapropylammonium
hydroxide and co-producing
bromine through
electrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: pumping and putting a tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide solution of which the
mass concentration is 45-55% in a
raw material circulation tank into an
anode chamber, meanwhile blowing air into the
anode chamber through an
air compressor, dehydrating the tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide in the
anode chamber to generate cation (CH3CH2CH2)4N<+> and anion Br<->, feeding the cation into a
cathode chamber through a cation exchanger membrane, feeding the anion to an anode plate to generate
gas phase bromine, feeding the
gas phase bromine together with diluted tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide into a gas-liquid separator for gas-liquid separation, feeding the diluted tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide in the gas-liquid separator and separated liquid bromine into two bromine
settling tank for switching and
settling, mixing the diluted tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide which contains a small amount of bromine at an upper layer with concentrated tetrapropyl
ammonium bromide which is discharged from a concentrated tetrapropyl ammonium bromide tank into tetrapropyl ammonium bromide of which the
mass concentration is 45-55%, and feeding the tetrapropyl ammonium bromide into the
raw material circulation tank for further recycling and use, wherein the ionic concentration of the tetrapropylammonium
hydroxide is less than 100ppm, and the content of
metal ions is less than 20ppb.
