Description

Verfahren zur Rückgewinnung von organischen Lösemitteln Zur Rückgewinnung von organischen Lösemitteln, die in den Abgasen bzw. der Abluft von chemischen Anlagen enthalten sind, werden bekanntlich feste Adsorbentien, wie Aktivkohle u. ä., verwendet, die das Lösemittel zunächst aufnehmen und bei ihrer anschließenden Regenerierung, etwa durch Ausdämpfen mit Wasserdampf, wieder freigegeben. Aus dem Wasserdampf kann dann das Lösemittel durch Kondensation abgetrennt werden, während das Adsorbens zu seiner vollständigen Regenerierung gegebenenfalls noch einer Trocknung und Kühlung unterzogen wird.Process for the recovery of organic solvents For recovery of organic solvents in the exhaust gases or exhaust air from chemical plants are contained, it is known that solid adsorbents such as activated carbon and the like are used, which initially absorb the solvent and during their subsequent regeneration, for example by evaporation with steam, released again. From the water vapor can then the solvent can be separated by condensation, while the adsorbent for its complete regeneration, optionally drying and cooling is subjected.

Zahlreiche Lösemittel, wie beispielsweise Schwefelkohlenstoff, neigen bei der Regenerierung der Adsorbentien durch Wasserdampf, die in dem Adsorber selbst erfolgt, zu einer Abspaltung von Säuren durch Teilzersetzung. Infolgedessen muß zur Vermeidung von Korrosion die Adsorptionsanlage säuregeschützt ausgeführt werden. Sind große Abluftmengen zu verarbeiten, in denen das Lösemittel in sehr geringer Konzentration vorliegt. so wird die Anlage bei säuregeschützter Ausführung so teuer, daß die Wirtschaftlichkeit nicht mehr gewährleistet ist.Numerous solvents, such as carbon disulfide, tend to during the regeneration of the adsorbents by water vapor in the adsorber itself takes place, to an elimination of acids by partial decomposition. As a result, must To avoid corrosion, the adsorption system is acid-protected. Large amounts of exhaust air are to be processed in which the solvent is very low Concentration is present. the acid-protected version of the system is so expensive, that the profitability is no longer guaranteed.

Um diese Schwierigkeit zu vermeiden, wird nach dem Grundgedanken der Erfindung so verfahren, daß das in nicht säuregeschützten Adsorbern durch ein festes Adsorbens aufgenommene Lösemittel zunächst durch heißes Tnertgas desorbiert wird und das das Lösemittel in wesentlich höherer Konzentration enthaltende Inertgas einer entsprechend kleineren säuregeschützten Adsorptionsanlage zugeführt wird, in der eine erneute Adsorption an festen Adsorbentien, eine Desorption durch Wasserdampf sowie die weitere Regenerierung und die Abtrennung des Lösemittels in der üblichen `'eise erfolgt.In order to avoid this difficulty, the basic idea is that of Invention so proceed that in non-acid-protected adsorbers by a solid Adsorbent absorbed solvent is first desorbed by hot inert gas and the inert gas containing the solvent in a much higher concentration is fed to a correspondingly smaller acid-protected adsorption system, in which a renewed adsorption on solid adsorbents, a desorption by water vapor and the further regeneration and separation of the solvent in the usual way `` 'It is done.

Durch diese zweistufige Arbeitsweise, mit Verwendung von Inertgas für die Überführung des Lösemittels von der einen Steife zur anderen, und entsprechender Anreicherung des Lösemittels in dem Trägergas wird also erreicht, daß nur die Apparatur in der zweiten Stufe säuregeschützt zu sein braucht und hier so kleine Abmessungen erhalten kann, daß die Wirtschaftlichkeit sichergestellt ist.Through this two-stage working method, with the use of inert gas for the transfer of the solvent from one stiffener to the other, and more accordingly Enrichment of the solvent in the carrier gas is thus achieved that only the apparatus needs to be acid-protected in the second stage and here such small dimensions can get that the economy is ensured.

Außerdem «-erden weitgehend Artnaturen eingespart. Während sonst doppelte Ventile mit Zwischenentlüftung erforderlich sind, um Explosionsgefahr durch Vermischen von Lösemittel mit Dampf zu vermeiden, genügen für die großen Adsorber, in denen die Voradsorption zur Erhöhung der Konzentration stattfindet, einfache Absperrventile, dadurch überströmendes Schutzgas bei undichten Ventilen kein'explosives Gemisch entstehen kann. Auch bei der Adsorptionsanlage für die zweite Stufe sind keine Doppelventile erforderlich, weil hier keine Luft zugegen ist und der Adsorber nur abwechselnd mit Schutzgas und mit Dampf gefüllt wird, zumal wenn für die Trocknung und Kühlung der Adsorbentien im Rahmen der Regenerierung nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ebenfalls Schutzgas verwendet wird.In addition, species are largely saved. While otherwise double Valves with intermediate venting are required to avoid risk of explosion through mixing Avoiding solvents with steam are sufficient for the large adsorbers in which the pre-adsorption to increase the concentration takes place, simple shut-off valves, As a result, protective gas overflowing in the event of leaky valves is not an explosive mixture can arise. There are also no double valves in the adsorption system for the second stage necessary because there is no air here and the adsorber only alternates is filled with protective gas and with steam, especially when for drying and cooling of the adsorbents as part of the regeneration according to a further feature of the invention protective gas is also used.
