Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the recycling of extract water resulting from the production of polyamide 6 or its copolymers (PA6 / 66), an apparatus for recycling in the production of
- Polyamide or its copolymers (PA6 / 66) accumulating extract water and the use of this device for recycling of resulting in the production of polyamide 6 or its copolymers (PA6 / 66) extracting water.
- caprolactam present in the crude product after the polymerization and cyclic and linear oligomers of caprolactam must be removed after the polymerization. This usually happens with hot water.
- the resulting extract waters typically contain from 5 to 20 percent by weight of organic fractions which must be reused from an economic point of view. These are these concentrated and recycled as raw material of the polyamide 6 synthesis, while the condensed distillate is used again for the extraction.
- additives such as titanium dioxide as matting agent for textile applications can be added already during the polymerization. Consequently, these additives come in contact with water during the subsequent extraction in the process and foreign matter such as e.g. Minerals from the coating of titanium dioxide are washed out.
- the difficulty lies in the fact that the dissolved oligomers of caprolactam can precipitate at temperatures below 80 ° C and block lines. However, if the temperature is kept above 80 ° C., no anion exchangers can be used, since they rapidly degrade at temperatures above 80 ° C. and tend to liberate odorous compounds, in particular amines, and contaminate the recirculating streams ,
- No. 5,245,029 relates to an ion exchange process for purifying water caprolactam solutions in a process for the preparation of caprolactam and laurolactam, in which a mixture of cyclohexanone oxime and cyclodeodecanoxime in the presence of sulfuric acid and fuming sulfuric acid is subjected to a Beckman reaction. Rearrangement is subjected. The process comprises, after neutralization of the reaction products from the rearrangement, a first extraction with an organic solvent and a second extraction of the first extract with water to obtain a second extract of an aqueous caprolactam solution.
- aqueous caprolactam solution obtained by extraction with a water immiscible organic solvent is treated with a strongly acidic cation exchange resin followed by a weakly basic anion exchange resin or further with a strongly basic anion exchange resin to remove surfactants such as alkyl sulfate , GB 762,879 describes a process for the removal of organic impurities from lactams, which describes the conduction of lactam in aqueous solution via anion and cation exchangers, which can be arranged in any order.
- GB 1 175,279 relates to processes for the purification of e-caprolactam obtained by nitrosation of cyclohexyl compounds and containing volatile amide-based bases.
- the e-caprolactam is treated with an alkaline reagent in the presence of water and a halogen or an alkali metal hypohalide to convert the volatile amide-based bases to amine compounds.
- These amine compounds are separated from the e-caprolactam, for example by a cation exchanger.
- No. 5,225,524 relates to a process for rendering odorless polymer solutions containing amino groups.
- a solution of terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate is treated with from 0.1 to 10% by weight of an acidic compound or an acidic anion exchange resin in order to render it predominantly odorless.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a device for the purification of extract water resulting from the production of polyamide 6 or its copolymers. This object is achieved by the method according to independent claim 1, which comprises the following steps:
- ion exchanger module comprising at least the following ion exchanger units: i) at least one cation exchanger unit, ii) at least one anion exchanger unit, wherein the extract water contains the ion exchanger units in c) deodorizing the extract water from step b) by iii) at least one cation exchanger unit or a mixed ion exchanger unit which comprises at least one anion exchanger and at least one cation exchanger, and wherein the extract water during the entire process Method has a temperature in the range of 80 to 100 ° C.
- the independent claim 12 relates to a device for cleaning and deodorization of Kapolactam-containing extract water obtained in the polyamide 6 preparation, comprising an extractor upstream and downstream of this an evaporation plant, between which in the flow path at least one filtration unit and an ion exchange module are positioned, wherein the ion exchange module contains at least the following ion exchange units: i) at least one cation exchanger unit, ii) at least one anion exchanger unit, iii at least one cation exchanger unit or a mixed ion exchanger unit which comprises at least one anion exchanger and at least one cation exchanger, the ion exchanger units being arranged in the flow direction of the extract water in the order i-ii-ii ,
- a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is specified in dependent claim 13.
- Claims 14 to 16 relate to uses of the device according to the invention for the recycling of extracting water resulting from the production of polyamide 6.
- Recycling of extract water in the context of the present invention is understood to mean that a concentrate of the extract water is returned to the polymerization reactor for the production of polyamide 6.
- the "purification” in the context of the present invention relates to the removal of soluble and insoluble impurities from the extract water.
- deodorization is understood to mean the removal of odor-intensive substances from the extract water which have arisen during the "purification” or which have not been removed during the purification step.
- Ion exchange resins have functional groups such as, for example, sulfonic acid groups, trimethylammonium groups or amino groups.
- a functional group-based ion exchange resin is understood to mean that the functionality of the ion exchange resin is based on this group.
