Background technology
ε-Ji Neixianan is a main raw material of producing nylon-6.Industrial, in its refining purification process, inorganic impurity and micro organic impurity are to adopt the method for ion exchange resin absorption to remove in the epsilon-caprolactam water solution.The limitation of this technology is: ion exchange resin needs regular regeneration, and regeneration expense costliness; Need bronsted lowry acids and bases bronsted lowry during regeneration, have equipment corrosion; Exist hexanolactam to run off during back flushing and produce the problems such as waste water of a large amount of high COD content.So for a long time, people are seeking the novel method of substitutional ion exchange always, but do not appear in the newspapers.
Carrying out the concentration that the caprolactam water solution of ion exchange resin absorption requires has certain requirement, the too high ion-exchange effect that influences of concentration, and concentration is too low can to increase working cost.The specific conductivity that enters the caprolactam water solution of ion exchange resin is about 20~25 μ s/cm, and after ion-exchange, the specific conductivity of caprolactam water solution requires to reduce to≤and 5 μ s/cm, 290nm place extinction value reduce to about 0.3.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method of removing trace impurity in the epsilon-caprolactam water solution, particularly adopt the removal method of electrodialytic membranes inorganic impurity in the caprolactam water solution and micro organic impurity.
The present invention is achieved in that promptly under 10 ℃~80 ℃, 5%wt~90%wt caprolactam water solution is passed through electrodialytic membranes, because the existence of electric field, the most inorganic impurities and the part organic impurity that have electric charge after the ionization move under effect of electric field, arrive the concubine (this partial material is carried out cycling and reutilization generally speaking) of packed-bed electrodialysis film; Thereby the content of impurity in the main discharge chamber solution is reduced greatly, reach the purpose of removing impurity, the specific conductivity of this partial material and extinction value reduce significantly, can directly enter the subsequent processing of caprolactam refining.
1, the device that uses in the present invention is an electrodialytic membranes;
2, caprolactam concentration in the present invention is 5%wt~90%wt, is generally 10%wt~80%wt;
3, the inorganic impurity of removing in the present invention is mainly ammonium class inorganic salt, mainly shows as the reduction of specific conductivity;
4, can remove the part organic impurity in the present invention, mainly show as the reduction of 290nm place extinction value;
5, the caprolactam water solution temperature should be controlled at 10 ℃~80 ℃.
Positively effect of the present invention is: ion exchange resin does not need regular regeneration, and the regeneration expense is low; Do not need bronsted lowry acids and bases bronsted lowry during regeneration, do not have equipment corrosion; Do not have hexanolactam to run off during back flushing, and produce the problems such as waste water of a large amount of high COD content.
