This invention provides a continuous acidification and separation device for
sodium phenylacetate, belonging to the field of chemical equipment technology. It includes: a feeding unit, a separation unit, and a receiving unit connected sequentially by pipelines; the feeding unit includes a
sulfuric acid storage tank, a
sodium phenylacetate storage tank, and a first pipeline mixer, with the
sulfuric acid storage tank and the
sodium phenylacetate storage tank respectively connected to the first pipeline mixer via pipelines; the separation unit includes a separation
tower, with an oil-water coalescing membrane
assembly installed at the feed end of the separation
tower; the first pipeline mixer is connected to the oil-water coalescing membrane
assembly via pipelines; the receiving unit includes an
oil phase receiving vessel and an aqueous phase receiving vessel; the
oil phase pipeline at the top of the separation
tower is connected to the
oil phase receiving vessel, and the aqueous phase pipeline at the bottom of the separation tower is connected to the aqueous phase receiving vessel. This invention achieves effective separation of the
phenylacetic acid oil phase and the
sodium sulfate aqueous phase through the oil-water coalescing membrane
assembly, solving the problem of unclear oil-water interface during the continuous acidification of
sodium phenylacetate, which leads to low quality of the
phenylacetic acid product.
