Technical field
The invention belongs to the polymer production technical field, more particularly relate to the steam stripping coacervation and separation device of polymers solns such as synthetic rubber, synthetic resins and plastics and the improvement of separation method thereof.
Background technology
The polymers soln that solution polymerization process obtains generally adopts in hot water the steam stripping coacervation method with polymkeric substance and separated from solvent at present.Extensively adopt many stills condensation technique (two or more stirring tank series connection) at present, on flocculating result and energy consumption, be better than early stage single still cohesion and tower condensation technique [Yu Leshun, China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1978,1 (5), 1; Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company triumph chemical plant, China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1978,1 (4), 1; Zhao Duoshan, China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1986,9 (5), 318; Xu Shiai etc., China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1997,20 (6), 369].Wherein, each placed in-line cohesion still all is vertical stirring tank, and the ratio H/D of its height H and diameter D so just has to adopt the multilayer agitator about 3.On producing, the agitator motor power of 60~100 cubic metres of cohesion stills is 75kW, and the energy consumption of average unit volume is about 1kW/m
3About, be quite high [Yu Leshun, China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1980,3 (3), 145].In addition, must adopt large diameter pipeline to come delivering hot water and micelle between the placed in-line cohesion still by the liquid level difference between still and the still, pressure difference or high-power particle pump, this not only makes equipment install and operation control complexity and energy consumption increase, and occurs easily influencing normal running because of the obstruction of micelle.
The Production Flow Chart that has for increase micelle residence time of the 2nd still (with the 3rd still) to increase flocculating result [GB1172797 (1969)], on the pipeline between two cohesion stills, set up the dense device of carrying of particular design, from micelle water, tell a certain amount of hot water.Yet this carries not only complex structure but also easily by the normal running of micelle congestion affects of dense device.
The Production Flow Chart that also has is in order further to save steam, and the rising gas (the water vapor quality accounts for about 80%) of the 2nd cohesion still is directly introduced the 1st cohesion still as the part of heating steam and energy-conservation [US3076795 (1963)].So just have to the 2nd cohesion still pressure is improved, with the pressure that the liquid level that overcomes the 1st cohesion still produces, this makes two connections between still difficulty more.
Therefore, need be improved existing pair of still or many stills condensation technique from saving facility investment and the energy consumption and the control angle that simplifies the operation at present.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming and defect, and the steam stripping coacervation and separation device and the separation method thereof of a kind of polymkeric substance and solvent is provided.It can effectively save facility investment, the save energy that cuts down the consumption of energy greatly, simplifies the operation and CONTROL PROCESS, obtains good agglomeration separation effect.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention changes traditional two or more placed in-line vertical stirring cohesion still into one horizontal stirring cohesion still, the centre is divided into two condensation regions (still) with dividing plate, further saves facility investment and energy consumption and the control that simplifies the operation when reaching two stills or many stills flocculating result.
The present invention includes have import and polymer beads water out and about be divided into the horizontal knockouts in A district and B district, be installed in the agitator in A district and B district respectively, be installed in three fluid tips of horizontal knockouts import, be connected the polymers soln pipeline on three fluid tips, be connected the B district rising gas pipeline above the horizontal knockouts B district, the venturi mixer that is connected with B district heating steam pipeline with B district rising gas pipeline, be connected the B district heating steam pipeline of bottom, horizontal knockouts B district, be connected the A district rising gas pipeline above the horizontal knockouts A district, be connected the condenser on the A district rising gas pipeline, be undertaken on the separation sieve below the polymer beads water out, be connected the hot-water cylinder below the separation sieve, be installed in the dense device of carrying below the horizontal knockouts A district, with carry the dense water pipeline of carrying that dense device is connected, be connected the hot water pump of carrying on the dense water pipeline, be connected to circulating hot water pipeline and hot water line between hot water pump and polymers soln pipeline and the horizontal knockouts A district.Hot water line, circulating hot water pipeline and carry and hot water flow meter, circulating hot water under meter are installed respectively on the dense water pipeline and carry concentrated stream amount meter, hot-water cylinder and carrying between the dense water pipeline connects with pipeline.Venturi mixer also is connected with the steam jacket of pipeline with three fluid tips.
An agitator is installed respectively in the A district of horizontal knockouts and the B district, center fixed dividing plate, perforate is arranged at the bottom of dividing plate, the side of dividing plate is installed with flashboard, connecting one on the flashboard has the gland sealed screw rod that flashboard can be moved up and down at wall, regulates the size of perforate according to the size of throughput.Two agitators are all installed near dividing plate.Two agitators are axial flow type.
Produce certain negative pressure when venturi mixer is flowed through in heating steam, the rising steam in knockouts B district is sucked and the chuck that mixes afterwards by three fluid tips sprays into the heating steam of knockouts A district as steam stripping coacervation.Like this, the rising steam in available pyritous B district heats the A district, and prevents to cause thus the pressure in B district to raise, thereby saves energy.
Three fluid tips are made up of static mixer and steam jacket, and polymers soln and circulating hot water mix in static mixer, by in the chuck from the water vapor preheating of venturi mixer, the three sprays into the A district of knockouts together then.The polymers soln preheating not only helps reducing fluid viscosity and promotes to mix, and further produces cutting and dissemination in the exit of nozzle generation shearing force, promotes flocculating result.Static mixer has 5~20 mixed cells.
Traditional stirring cohesion still majority all adopts single fluid (polymers soln) nozzle, needs the shearing force cutting and the dispersing polymer solution that rely on stronger mechanical stirring to produce, therefore mechanical stirring is required very highly, so that mixing speed and power are all very high.It is three fluid tips of core with the static mixer that the present invention has adopted, itself need not just can effectively cut and disperse to polymers soln by mechanical stirring, change into vertical stirring tank horizontal in addition, liquid level is reduced to below 1 by about 3 with the ratio in still footpath, only needs the individual layer agitator to keep the normal suspension of polymer beads and flow under lower rotating speed and power and gets final product.Therefore, power of agitator consumption of the present invention is only stirred about 1/3 of cohesion still for traditional vertical.
The agitator that the present invention adopts is axial flow type such as open-type hinged joint turbine agitator, oar type propeller agitator etc.Agitator speed is 30~100r/min, is eccentric the installation, because its asymmetry need not baffle plate and just can obtain good mixing effect.
Carry dense device by the bigger cylindrical metal silk screen of diameter with support the wire cylinder mould that its metal cage is formed, the mesh of wire cloth is less than 4 * 4mm.Blowback steam or the nitrogen mouth that prevents that micelle from stopping up is equipped with in the bottom of wire cylinder mould, and blowback can be regularly or not timing, also can be pulsed.Carrying dense device can filter out polymer beads, makes the hot water in A district pass through wire cloth
Enter hot water line and enter hot water pump again, the hot water amount who enters the B district is reduced, so also just increased the residence time of polymer beads, so that further improved flocculating result in the B district of higher temperatures.
The present invention also provides the steam stripping flocculation separation method of a kind of polymkeric substance and solvent:
To be 5~80% polymers soln the static mixer of nozzle mix after spray into knockouts A district in three fluid tip ingress with hot water from hot water pump by pipeline to mass concentration, and the hot water volumetric flow rate that enters horizontal knockouts is controlled to be 2~15 with the ratio of polymers soln volumetric flow rate.
The heating steam venturi mixer of flowing through produces certain negative pressure, the rising steam in knockouts B district sucked and mixes the chuck of back by three fluid tips and spray into of the heating steam of knockouts A district as steam stripping coacervation, the while at the nozzle chuck with the polymers soln preheating.The temperature of controlling horizontal knockouts A district is that 70~100 ℃, gauge pressure are 0.01~0.05MPa, and control B district temperature is that 90~110 ℃, gauge pressure are 0.01~0.05MPa.B district temperature is controlled by the heating steam of B district.
In the relatively low A district of temperature, advanced condenser condenses layering with corresponding water vapor by the vapour phase pipeline by the isolating solvent of stripping and reclaim.The polymer beads that is condensed in the A district enters the high relatively B district of temperature in company with the bottom perforate of hot water by central dividing plate and further enters separation sieve with hot water from outlet and told in the cohesion back.Solvent quality content in the polymer beads is less than 1% (butt) at this moment.
In order further to improve flocculating result, the part hot water in A district directly can be entered hot water pump by carrying dense device, the hot water amount who enters the B district is reduced, so also just increased the residence time of polymer beads, so that improved flocculating result in the B district of higher temperatures.This part hot water can be by the under meter dominant discharge, and the hot water that comes out from a hot water pump part as required enters nozzle, and the control of another part under meter directly enters knockouts A district.
Theoretical foundation of the present invention is as follows:
Mechanism [Yu Leshun according to agglomeration process, China Synthetic Rubber Industry, 1979,2 (4), 289], the 1st stage at agglomeration process is that the constant speed agglomeration phase claims the agglomeration phase of vaporizing again, and about solvent more than 95% is steamed by stripping by more a spot of water vapor (mass ratio of solvent and water is less than 0.5 in the vapour phase) in the A district of lesser temps in the polymers soln (mass concentration 10~20% of polymkeric substance), and this stage is controlled by heat transfer rate.The B district that the polymer beads that contains a small amount of solvent (mass concentration 10~40%) enters comparatively high temps carries out the 2nd stage of agglomeration process, the agglomeration phase that promptly slows down just spreads agglomeration phase, in this stage, the solvent of polymer beads inside need rely on molecular diffusion to be delivered to particle surface and be steamed by stripping, and cohesion speed is controlled by velocity of diffusion.Therefore, the B district needs higher temperature to promote the 2nd stage of the agglomeration process agglomeration phase that promptly slows down just to spread the carrying out of agglomeration phase.Knockouts of the present invention is according to the mechanism design of agglomeration process.
According to liquid agitation theory (J.Y. Ou Shu, fluid hybrid technology, Chemical Industry Press, 217,1991), for the liquid of equal volume, when the ratio of liquid height and diameter was reduced to 1 by 2, its mixing speed can reduce 1 times, and power of agitator can reduce 4 times.Therefore the present invention changes traditional vertical stirring tank into horizontal stirring tank and can save more energy.
Task of the present invention comes to this and finishes.
The present invention can effectively save facility investment, cuts down the consumption of energy greatly, save energy, simplifies the operation and CONTROL PROCESS, obtains good cohesion, separating effect.During the steam stripping coacervation that can be widely used in polymkeric substance that solution polymerization process obtains and solvent separates.
