- the top stream (including solvent and water) of the second column is transferred to the fourth column, and the fourth column is operated at 0 kg/cm 2 ⁇ g at an upper temperature of 75°C and a lower temperature of 100°C to remove water. It was separated into an upper stream (4a) and a lower stream (4b) containing water, and the organic solvent contained in the upper stream (4a) was refluxed to the second column. Additionally, the water (1b") remaining in the bottom stream of the first column was combined with the stream (4b) separated at the bottom of the fourth column and discharged (1b'").
- Example 2 The same process as Example 1 was performed except that the flow rate of the first column lower branch stream (1b') supplied to the first region of the third column was adjusted to 5% by weight of the total flow rate of the first column lower stream. IPA was recovered.
- Example 2 The same process as Example 1 was performed except that the flow rate of the first column lower branch stream (1b') supplied to the first region of the third column was adjusted to 10% by weight of the total flow rate of the first column lower stream. IPA was recovered.
- a feed stream was obtained through the same process as Step 1 of Example 1.
- a feed stream was supplied to the first column to separate an upper stream containing an azeotropic mixture of IPA, NPA, and water and a lower stream containing water and high-boiling organic matter.
- the top stream of the first column was transferred to the second column, while NPA was removed from the bottom of the third column connected to the side of the first column.
- the azeotrope was broken using an organic solvent (cyclohexane) to separate a lower stream containing IPA and an upper stream of the solvent and water, and then the solvent and water used were separated in the fourth column.
- a feed stream was obtained through the same process as Step 1 of Example 1.
- the feed stream was supplied from the first column and separated into an upper stream containing an azeotropic mixture of IPA, NPA, and water and a lower stream containing high boiling point organic matter and water.
- the top stream of the first column was transferred to the second column to first separate water, and then the stream containing IPA and NPA was transferred to the third column to remove NPA, thereby recovering IPA. Meanwhile, separation of the solvent and water used in the fourth column was performed.
- Table 1 below shows the recovery results of IPA according to the purification process of Examples and Comparative Examples.
- Examples 1 to 3 use a dividing wall third column to first separate water from a stream containing an azeotrope of IPA/water and NPA/water, and then to the first region of the dividing wall third column.
- a mixed stream of the branch stream 1b' of the bottom stream of the first column (containing water and high-boiling organics) and the bottoms stream of the second column (2b, including IPA and NPA) is fed to remove the high-boiling organics and NPA.
- high purity IPA with NPA removed was recovered, and the concentrations of remaining NPA and residual water were low at 2 ppm and 10 ppm, respectively.
- the water contained in the first column lower branch stream 1b' was separated from the high-boiling organic matter and then refluxed, thereby reducing the COD of the water remaining in the first column lower stream. That is, as the content of high-boiling organic matter discharged to the bottom stream 3b of the third column is proportional to the branch flow rate of the first column bottom stream supplied to the first region of the third column, as a result, the first column The COD of the remaining water in the downstream stream was reduced.
- Example 3 it can be seen that as the branch flow rate of the first column lower branch stream (1b') increases to 10% by weight, the amount of steam used according to the branch increases rapidly. Therefore, when branching the first column lower stream, the branch flow rate is adjusted to a predetermined range (e.g., 0.5 to 5% by weight of the total flow rate of the first column lower stream) in order to reduce the COD content of the wastewater and avoid excessive energy consumption. It is desirable.
- a predetermined range e.g., 0.5 to 5% by weight of the total flow rate of the first column lower stream
