When the deteriorated sulfolane regeneration reactor provided by the invention is used, poor sulfolane fluid enters the reactor from the inlet pipe and is uniformly distributed in the reactor through the upper distributor. The fluid then flows down the upper grid into the bed of anion exchange resin and interacts with the resin to remove the acidic species and chlorine from the inferior sulfolane. The sulfolane fluid leaving the anion exchange resin bed passes through the lower grid, is collected by the lower distributor and finally exits the reactor through the outlet pipe. Through the regeneration process, the sulfolane is gradually recovered to the level of a fresh material, the pH value is recovered to 7.5-10, and the color is recovered to a light color or colorless.
After the equipment for regenerating the deteriorated sulfolane provided by the invention is operated for a period of time, the regeneration of the anion exchange resin is required. Firstly, deionized water is led into degraded sulfolane regeneration equipment, and the ion exchange resin is soaked in the ionic water for 8-15 hours. Then using 1-5 times of dilute alkali solution of resin volume to pass through the degraded sulfolane regeneration equipment to convert the resin into hydroxyl type. The resin was then rinsed with deionized water until the eluate pH was between 7.0 and 8.0. And then purging the deteriorated sulfolane regeneration equipment with nitrogen for drying. After the drying is finished, poor-quality sulfolane feed liquid is respectively led in through the outlet pipe and the auxiliary pipe, so that the feed liquid in the degraded sulfolane regeneration equipment moves from bottom to top, the equipment is filled with the liquid feed liquid, then the feed of the outlet pipe and the auxiliary pipe is cut off, the feed liquid is led in through the inlet pipe, and the flow mode of the degraded sulfolane feed liquid is changed into a mode from top to bottom to carry out the regeneration operation of the degraded sulfolane. In the flowing process of the degraded sulfolane liquid from bottom to top, nitrogen in equipment can be exhausted through the exhaust port, and the device can also have a certain loosening effect on the bed layer of the anion exchange resin so as to avoid the reduction of the operation capacity of the equipment caused by overhigh pressure drop of the bed layer. In the flowing process of the degraded sulfolane liquid from bottom to top, the expansion of an anion exchange resin bed layer can be caused, usually, part of the bed layer can rapidly move upwards to reach the position of the upper grid to cause the blockage and the impact of the upper grid, so that the abrasion of particles is aggravated, and the grown part of fine particles flow upwards along with the fluid to cause the blockage of the upper distributor. The occurrence of the above phenomenon can be effectively avoided through the support leg group, the auxiliary pipe and the auxiliary pipe branch pipe. Firstly, the vertical pipe of the support leg component and the needle-shaped support legs thereof prevent the over-expanded resin bed layer from approaching the upper barrier to cause the blockage, and can play a role of disturbance, so that the over-expanded resin bed layer is converted into a bulk fluidization state from a denser packing state. Secondly, poor-quality sulfolane liquid is led in through an outlet pipe and an auxiliary pipe respectively, so that the sulfolane liquid can enter an anion exchange resin bed layer in a distributed feeding mode, loosening of liquid flowing upwards is guaranteed at different heights of the bed layer, uniform loosening of the bed layer is achieved, excessive expansion of the bed layer, particularly a high-position bed layer, caused by impact of large-flow liquid is avoided, part of the bed layer still in a close-packed state moves upwards rapidly, impact is caused on an upper barrier, and the barrier and an upper distributor are blocked. Thirdly, the feeding mode of uniform and loose bed layer avoids the generation of fine particles due to particle abrasion, and inhibits the blockage of the fine particles to the barrier and the distributor.
