Description

The condensate liquid obtained in a kind of evaporative crystallization steps of purification of aqueous ammonium sulfate phase Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of the condensate liquid obtained in evaporative crystallization steps of purification of aqueous ammonium sulfate phase.This hair It is bright to be related to a kind of method for preparing caprolactam, ammonium sulfate is formd in this method and can be from described in crystallisation step Ammonia sulfate crystal and condensate liquid are obtained in ammonium sulfate.
Background technology
Here " method of caprolactam " refers to the synthesis for the method and step for preparing caprolactam.Therefore, the life of caprolactam Production method also includes those steps for being applied to prepare the intermediate products of caprolactam.It is any special that the method for the present invention is not limited to Lactams.The preferred epsilon-caprolactams of lactams.
US3,264,060, which discloses production lactams, includes the method for caprolactam.In the method, in the presence of sulfuric acid Cycloalkanone oxime is reset by Beckmann rearrangement down, so as to obtain a kind of neutralized rearrangement mixture containing lactams.Then, in water In the presence of neutralized rearrangement mixture is neutralized with ammoniacal liquor in neutral zone, so as to obtain it is a kind of containing aqueous ammonium sulfate solution and The mixture of aqueous thick lactams phase.Then, the solution and aqeous thick lactams of aqueous ammonium sulfate is mutually separated each other.
Ammonium sulfate is mutually inputted in evaporator, the moisture in the evaporator in ammonium sulfate phase is partly steamed Hair while sulfate precipitate ammonium crystal.In this process, caused mother liquor contains remaining unprecipitated ammonium sulfate.In next work Ammonia sulfate crystal is separated so as to reclaim ammonia sulfate crystal from mother liquor using the effect of such as centrifugal separator in skill step.So After add and be diluted with water remaining mother liquor, and the mother liquor of dilution is transported to neutral zone.Water for dilution can be by evaporator In evaporation condensate moisture obtain condensate liquid.
WO00/66561 discloses the method for preparing caprolactam, and ammonium sulfate is formd in this method and is being crystallized Ammonia sulfate crystal and condensate liquid can be obtained from the ammonium sulfate while condensate liquid is purified and returned it into step Into the production process of caprolactam.The ammonium sulfate is preferably with ammoniacal liquor or aqueous ammonia and Beckmann rearrangement Formed during mixture, wherein the Beckmann rearrangement mixture is cyclohexanone oxime utilizes Beckmann rearrangement in the presence of sulphuric acid What reaction obtained during forming caprolactam.
Unpurified condensate liquid during ammonium sulfate crystallization, which is returned in caprolactam production process, to be caused with higher Concentration organic pollutant and the caprolactam generation compared with high absorbance, the data measure according to ISO7059.Returned in condensate liquid To before the production technology of caprolactam, condensate liquid is purified to produce sufficiently pure caprolactam.
Different treatments can be used to carry out the purification of condensate liquid, including being divided with activated carbon as described in WO00/66561 From, oxidation processes such as ozone processing or hydrogen peroxide treatment, UV irradiations, ion-exchanger, polymer absorbing agent, biology only Change, UF membrane, extraction or distillation and the combination of these technologies.
In one option of methods described, evaporation water and its is cold is formed in the crystallizing evaporator for producing ammonia sulfate crystal Condensate liquid is congealed into, purifies the condensate liquid, the purification condensate liquid of the acquisition can be applied to the weight obtained by Beckmann rearrangement Arrange the neutral zone of mixture.In WO00/66561 embodiment 1, added into ammoniacal liquor purification condensate liquid and it is extra go from Sub- water, wherein the ammoniacal liquor is input into neutral zone.
It is sufficiently low to have now found that the purifying technique implemented disclosed in WO00/66561 can have caused caprolactam Absorbance, obtained according to ISO7059 measurements.Therefore, as known to the skilled person, caprolactam caused by polymerization and with logical Chang Fangfa detects nylon-6, can produce high-quality nylon-6
But it is found that the method for purification of the condensate liquid disclosed in WO00/66561 is not still the method for a high-efficiency and economic. Although the method for purification disclosed in WO00/66561 does not remove most pollutant and via containing active-carbon bed mistake The preferable purification of filter generates the caprolactam of better quality, but utilizes pollutant in the condensate liquid of active-carbon bed removal Quantity it is very big, and need displacement or regenerated carbon bed frequency it is too high and uneconomical.
Except pollutant, caprolactam can be evaporated during ammonium sulfate crystallization and due in condensate liquid caprolactam deposit Caprolactam also can be by active-carbon bed absorption.Energy of adsorption of the caprolactam meeting restricted activity charcoal bed to any pollutant The frequency that power is replaced or regenerated so as to improve activated carbon beds to need.Further, since used activated carbon is abandoned, activity Absorption of the charcoal to caprolactam can cause the reduction of caprolactam total output so as to add cost.
It is well known that the contaminant problems of caprolactam are very serious when condensate liquid returns to caprolactam production process. If however, condensate liquid is not returned to the production technology of caprolactam, it is necessary to not homologous water is added into technique.This meeting The consumption of water is greatly enhanced, so as to cause the increase of the raising of cost and carrying capacity of environment.
Nowadays we have found it is a kind of reduce condensate liquid in pollutant burden method and therefore can maximum journey limit prolong The life-span of the long filter used.
