Purification device for PTA (purified terephthalic acid) refining mother liquor
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a chemical wastewater treatment technical field specifically is a purifier of PTA refined mother liquor.
Background
The PTA production process mainly comprises an oxidation reaction process and a hydrofining process, wherein in the oxidation process, two methyl groups on a benzene ring are sequentially converted into alcohol, aldehyde and acid through p-xylene liquid-phase air oxidation to obtain solid Crude Terephthalic Acid (CTA), and then p-carboxybenzaldehyde (4-CBA) which is a main impurity in the solid is reduced into p-toluic acid which is easily soluble in water through the hydrofining process to be removed. According to the characteristic that the solubility of the p-toluic acid in water is much higher than that of the phthalic acid in water, the crude terephthalic acid is subjected to impurity removal by hydrogenation, and then is subjected to crystallization, centrifugal separation, drying, dehydration and other processes to produce a refined PTA finished product. Therefore, in the hydrorefining process, a large amount of water is practically required as the water for dissolving terephthalic acid, and a large amount of wastewater is generated after crystallization and centrifugal filtration, and is generally referred to as a refining mother liquor in the industry. P-toluic acid is both a major impurity in these refined mother liquors and an intermediate product of the PX oxidation process. If the p-toluic acid in the refined mother liquor can be recovered, the PTA wastewater can be purified and returned to the hydrofining process to be used as solvent water for recycling, and the p-toluic acid can be recovered to improve the yield of PTA, so that the two purposes are achieved.
In recent years, PX is mainly used as an extractant in the treatment of a purification mother liquor to extract the purification mother liquor. Raw material PX is used as a solvent to extract p-toluic acid in the wastewater, and then the PX and the p-toluic acid are returned to an oxidation reactor together, so that the p-toluic acid can be converted into a product PTA through deep oxidation. On one hand, the method saves the PX regeneration step, reduces the extraction cost, on the other hand, can purify PTA wastewater, returns the PTA wastewater to the hydrofining process to be used as solvent water for recycling, and can also recover the p-toluic acid, thereby achieving three purposes. PX is similar to the structure of p-toluic acid, p-toluic acid is easy to extract from a water phase to a solvent phase, the PX is insoluble in water, trace PX remained in the extracted water can be completely removed through gas stripping, and the PX is recovered after gas cooling, so that the PX is the optimal extractant.
The invention discloses a method for treating PTA refined wastewater by adopting a combination of extraction-ultrafiltration-reverse osmosis, wherein p-xylene is adopted to extract refined wastewater of purified terephthalic acid, an extract phase is returned to a preparation process of purified terephthalic acid, a raffinate phase is subjected to ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis treatment, the permeated water reaches the recycling standard, and concentrated water is returned to an extraction step of p-xylene or to a preparation process of purified terephthalic acid. The invention needs to be used by matching extraction with an ultrafiltration reverse osmosis system, but the ultrafiltration reverse osmosis system has short service life, needs to be replaced frequently and has high process cost.
The invention patent of the publication No. CN102910761B discloses a technology for reducing the COD in PTA wastewater by an extraction method, which firstly uses a solvent to extract a large amount of organic carboxylic acids such as benzoic acid, p-toluic acid, p-carboxybenzyl alcohol, p-carboxybenzaldehyde, terephthalic acid and the like in the wastewater, and then uses a stripping method to remove residual PX, thereby greatly reducing the COD concentration in the wastewater. The invention adopts extraction and stripping methods to reduce COD in the refined mother liquor, but the energy consumption of common stripping is higher.
