Moreover, heating mantle is installed in extractor lower part, for heating to extractor.
The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:
The application extracts ethane nitrile wastewater by the way of increasing higher boiling double solvents, and higher boiling double solvents is common High boiling solvent adds a certain proportion of ionic liquid solvent, obtains content using high-efficiency packing tower isolation technics again after extraction 99.9% anhydrous acetonitrile.The acetonitrile returns to production system and reuses, and waste water drains into sewage treatment plant.Entire process flow is closed Reason, it is easy to operate it is also an option that automatically controlled using DCS, invest small, device height is low, does not generate VOC organic exhaust gas, cold But water uses ordinary cycle water, is particularly suitable for pharmacy corporation.
The application continues to use after high boiling solvent can also be separately recovered, very saving solvent usage.
Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 is structural schematic diagram of the invention.
Specific embodiment
For that can further appreciate that the contents of the present invention, feature and effect, following embodiment is provided, and cooperate attached drawing specifically It is bright as follows, it should be noted that the present embodiment be it is descriptive, be not restrictive, cannot thus limit protection of the invention Range.
The purpose of the application is in order to recycle acetonitrile that content in raw material is 10% and by content has been purified to 99.9% anhydrous acetonitrile, the application devise efficient ethane nitrile wastewater recovery system, behaviour reasonable with process flow Make simple, small, the low advantage of device height of investment, specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:
A kind of solvent is recycled efficient ethane nitrile wastewater recovery system, including head tank 1, azeotropy rectification column T1, acetonitrile are de- light Tower T2, acetonitrile refining tower T3, solvent knockout tower T4, extractor V3, heater E2 and multiple condensers (E1, E3, E4), raw material Tank discharge port connects feed inlet in the middle part of azeotropy rectification column, and the tower top discharge port of azeotropy rectification column connects azeotropic mixture by a condenser A reflux line is arranged in storage tank V1 feed inlet, discharge port, connects overhead reflux mouth, and the tower bottom discharge port of azeotropy rectification column directly connects Connect discharge outlet;
Azeotropic mixture reservoir outlet connects one feed inlet of extractor, and it is (high that the feed inlet of extractor is also connected with solvent tank V2 Boiling point solvent) discharge port, the installation stirring in one ion liquid storage tank V7 discharge port of connection, extractor of the feed inlet of extractor Device, the discharge port of extractor are connected in parallel the oily phase storage tank V5 of a water phase storage tank V4 and one respectively, and water phase storage tank connects head tank one A feed inlet, oily phase reservoir outlet connect feed inlet in the middle part of acetonitrile lightness-removing column by a heater.
