Abstract

PURPOSE:To dehydrate granular material contg. water with extremely less energy than in the case of directly dehydrating with thermal energy by dehydrating and regenerating a resin having high water absorption power in a state of hydrate due to using as a dehydrating agent with a water-soluble organic solvent. CONSTITUTION:A mixture of a dehydrated granular material and a hydrated resin is formed by adding a granular resin having high water absorption power (e.g. vinyl alcohol) and having 500 particle size to the titled granular material contg. water (e.g. aq. slurry of coal or mineral) and allowing said resin having high water absorption power to absorb at least most or moisture contained in the granular material contg. water. Then the former is recovered as the dehydrated granular material by treating the above-mentioned mixture with the separating treatment. On the other hand, the hydrated resin obtained by the above-mentioned separation is dehydrated to regenerate the high water absorption power at least partially by treating with the water-soluble organic solvent (wherein, it is practically insoluble into the resin having high water absorption power) or the regenerating agent (e.g. acetone) of the higher concentrated aq. soln. of the said water-soluble organic solvent. Therefore, the dehydration of the granular material contg. water is performed with less energy.

In addition, it should be understood from the spirit of the present invention that the "growth material" here has a lower water absorption than the super absorbent resin used as a dehydrating agent. Typical of these is coal or ore G slurry or sludge, especially those consisting of small particles that are difficult to dewater by filtration.

The water-containing powder is preferably one with a relatively high concentration (that is, one with a low water content), since the higher the water content, the greater the amount of dehydrating agent used.

Super absorbent resin that has used a dehydrating agent is in a hydrated state, but in the present invention, the dehydration is performed by treatment with a water-miscible organic solvent,
In other words, it is done by extracting water. The organic solvent used as a dehydrating agent should have a sufficiently high solubility in water, and is generally selected from water-soluble organic solvents. On the other hand, this solvent must not dissolve the superabsorbent resin (however, since many superabsorbent resins have a crosslinked structure, it is unlikely that they will dissolve in organic solvents). .

The dehydrating agent used in the present invention is such an organic solvent or an aqueous solution thereof. In the case of an aqueous solution, it goes without saying that it must have a high organic solvent concentration and still have sufficient water extraction ability. In addition, after this organic solvent is used as a dehydrating agent, it will dehydrate itself through distillation, so if it is used with water or multiple types of organic solvents together, it may be difficult to use it with each other (or even with water). An azeotropic composition (if it exists) may be convenient.

Regenerate at least partially. The recycled superabsorbent resin thus obtained can be reused for similar dehydration of the same or different types of water-containing powder and granules, which is also a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Experimental Examples Example 1 100 parts by weight of pulverized coal adjusted to a moisture content of 36% and a super-absorbent resin (commercially available Daiyau J-t manufactured by Mitsubishi Yuka Co., Ltd.) quadruple ring part were stirred and mixed for about 30 minutes. As a result, the moisture content of the pulverized coal decreased to 5.5%. This is made of all-mesh WL (mesh 0.
After separating the super absorbent resin into pulverized coal and the super absorbent resin in step 3+n+s), the hydrated super absorbent resin was dehydrated with an aqueous solution of 45 volumes of acetone and 80% dehydrated. Even when this dehydrated superabsorbent resin was used again to dehydrate hydrous pulverized coal, pulverized coal with the same moisture content was obtained. Even if this operation was repeated five times, exactly the same results were obtained.
