Background technology
A large amount of chemical technologies that rotary filter separates with liquid for needing solid, such as, manufacture synthetic mesophase thing, than
Such as aromatic dicarboxylic acid (such as p-phthalic acid (TA)), p-phthalic acid (TA) is widely used for manufacturing the most poly-
Polyester such as (ethylene terephthalate) (PET).Rotary filter provides and allows to carry out some works in one piece apparatus
The advantage of skill step.Specifically, first serosity is separated into filter cake and filtrate by rotary filter, makes filter cake warp subsequently
By subsequent treatment (such as clean, be dried) and then discharged.Subsequent treatment can be including (for example) single phase or many
Stage cake clean, displacement cleaning, backwash, closed circulation cleaning, repulping, solvent exchange, decatize, extraction and
Mechanically or thermally cookies is dry.Processing step can perform in the separate sections chamber of filter interior, and this allows to drain discretely
Filtrate and other fluid.
Rotary filter generally includes rotatable reel, and rotatable reel has the external surface peripheral being arranged in its circumference
A series of filter units.A series of excretory duct is contained in the inside of reel, and the filtration of the bases of filter unit is situated between by it
Matter (commonly referred to as filter cloth or film) is connected to control head, controls head and collects filtrate and be applied to any place of cake
Reason fluid (such as, cleaning fluid) or the solid product being present on the outer surface of filter unit.Excretory duct also can be to
Filter unit provides gas backwash to evict filter cake during drain steps from.Reel can rotate in the enclosure, shell around
Its circumference is divided into a series of district, in each district can by processing stage be applied to filter cake, i.e. described district is the most each other
Continue so that along with reel rotate, filter unit run into continuously each district and each processing stage.Control head to bear
Duty drain indivedual filtrate discretely and include rotary core and static ring, described stationary ring iris wipe be divided into a series of district with
Those districts of shell are corresponding.
In use, by under stress serosity being fed to reel outside, serosity is applied to volume in the first phase
Cylinder.In filtration stage, via excretory duct, filtrate is removed to control head from filter cake, and filtrate can be made to return to produce slurry
The manufacturing process of liquid, is further processed, or is dropped.Along with reel rotates, filter cake moved from the inceptive filtering stage
To processing stage.These processing stage can comprise multiple wash phase.Make cleaning fluid by volume in a wash phase
Cylinder (via filter unit and excretory duct) is delivered to relevant to that wash phase via the cleaning fluid input in shell
The cleaning fluid controlled in the head output of connection.Then cleaning fluid can be removed from rotary filter, or inverse in the multistage
In stream cleaning process, can will clean the cleaning fluid input that fluid is directed in previous wash phase.With immediately preceding filter rank
Filter cake in the district that wash phase after Duan is associated is the dirtiest (that is, its pollutant containing Cmax), and
Filter cake in the district being associated with final wash phase (as filter cake experiences) is that the cleanest (that is, it contains minimum dense
The pollutant of degree).Similarly, the fluid that cleans being fed to final wash phase is typically the cleanest, and exits immediately
The fluid that cleans of the wash phase after filtration stage is typically the dirtiest.The final operational phase of rotary filter relates to
And such as by via the gas backwash of excretory duct and/or by machinery scraping remove filter cake, and cleaned filter cloth from reel
To remove residual solid and to prevent dirty.
Aromatic dicarboxylic acid manufactures typically by the catalysis oxidation of hydrocarbon presoma in organic solvent.As raw for PET
The reactant that produces and the TA that needs is referred to as " purified p-phthalic acid " (PTA) and usually contains more than 99.97 weights
Amount %, the p-phthalic acid of preferably more than 99.99 weight %, and the 4-p-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) less than 25ppm.
At commercial size, the PTA being suitable for PET production is typically to prepare by two-stage process.First, there is gold
(the most in atmosphere) xylol is aoxidized to provide in the case of metal catalyst (such as cobalt and/or manganese salt or compound)
" crude terephthalic acid " (CTA), such as (e.g.) US 2, described in 833,816.Secondly, this it is purified by subsequently
Oxidation reaction and the CTA that produces, this is because it generally by such as 4-CBA, paratolunitrile and gives yellowish to TA
The impurity such as the various foreign pigment of color pollute.The purification of CTA generally except need at least one physical procedures (such as crystallization,
Clean) outside also need at least one chemical transformation (such as hydrogenation) to obtain PTA.PTA is typically considered business
Product project, annual produces millions of tons, and it is thus desirable to make manufacturer reduce its cost so that the economy that produces of PTA and
Efficiency maximizes.This can be by not only reducing fund cost (such as equipment cost) but also reducing variable cost (such as with refuse
The cost that disposal, parent material use, organic solvent, heating fuel and demineralized water are associated) and realize.
Rotary filter cleans PTA crystal after can be used for the chemical transformation in purifying process.PTA serosity is presented
Deliver to outside filter reel, and clean gained PTA filter cake with water and be dried.The PTA discharged according to this step
Generally it is further dried and produces for PET.After discharge PTA filter cake, cleaned filter cloth is to remove remaining PTA
Crystal, makes filter cloth again contact fresh PTA serosity, and repeated washing circulation subsequently.
Need to reclaim the PTA removed in cloth cleaning step from filter.The PTA serosity that can will be caused by cloth cleaning step
It is recycled back in purge process (such as the water of the aqueous slurry for forming CTA in solvent exchange step
Part), thus cause PTA finally to enter back into the feeding for rotary filter.But, this causes per unit to be produced
The energy consumption of raw PTA increases (the most recycled PTA is heated twice).
