Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a field of simulated moving bed separation technology, and in particular to an efficient simulated moving bed device and an efficient simulated moving bed process.

BACKGROUND

Simulated moving bed is a separation device that performs separations by using an adsorption principle. As a main representative of continuous chromatography, simulated moving bed technology has high production efficiency, low consumption of organic solvents and large mass transfer driving force, and is convenient for automatic continuous production. It is widely used in petrochemical, food industry and pharmaceutical fields. The simulated moving bed technology is a complex industrial process as well as a non-linear, non-equilibrium, non-ideal, multi-degree-of-freedom periodic process with a plurality of influencing factors.

In the simulated moving bed, a fixed adsorption bed is divided into a plurality of sections filled with adsorbents, and liquid may not directly circulate between the sections. Each section is provided with inlet and outlet pipes, which are controlled by a multi-channel rotary valve. Generally, in a simulated moving bed with 8 adsorption columns, 20 of 24 inlets and outlets only serve as inter-section connections, and the other 4 inlets and outlets are used for entering or exiting of four strands of materials. Positions of the material inlets and outlets at a certain moment divide the entire adsorption bed into four zones. Each zone has a different length, and each section has a different interphase mass transfer.

By using the multi-channel rotary valve, the simulated moving bed enables the four material inlets and outlets to move upward at a speed synchronized with a change of a solid phase concentration. In this way, a closed loop is formed. An overall result of the closed loop is substantially the same as an effect produced by keeping the positions of the inlets and outlets in place while moving the solid adsorbent from top to bottom in the adsorber, so as to achieve a separation effect. A core device of this process is the multi-channel rotary valve. With a rotation of the multi-channel rotary valve, a periodic switching of the process is realized, thereby achieving a purpose of separating products.

In the related art, CN100453867C discloses a 36-way rotary valve used for a simulated moving bed of an efficient liquid chromatography. The 36-way rotary valve is connected to a stepping motor provided with a synchronous pulley through a belt. The 36-way rotary valve mainly includes a stator and a cover mounted on the stator. A transmission shaft is provided between the stator and the cover. The transmission shaft has one end inserted into a center hole of the stator and another end that passes through the cover and that is installed with a further synchronous pulley. A sealing ring is installed and fixed evenly on a periphery of the stator and the cover. A rotor, a driving disc, a disc spring, an adjusting pad and a thrust bearing are further provided in sequence from bottom to top between the stator and the cover. The 36-way rotary valve has a compact structure and a small dead volume, which greatly reduces a failure rate of the simulated moving bed device. However, the 36-way rotary valve has a high cost and is inconvenient for disassembly and maintenance. When replacing the adsorbent, the entire simulated moving bed device needs to be shut down, which reduces a long-term operation capability of the device.

The use of a program-controlled valve in the simulated moving bed is already an existing technology. The Axens Eluxyl simulated moving bed process and the Sorpx simulated moving bed process are also controlled by n*24 program-controlled valve groups. However, due to different volumes of pipelines of the program-controlled valve groups connected to the adsorption columns as well as a periodic change of a relative position of the circulating pump in an area, a flow rate of the circulating pump varies greatly with the area in which it is located, which is difficult to control and has a large pressure fluctuation.

SUMMARY

In view of the above-mentioned technical problems of the simulated moving bed in the related art, an objective of the present disclosure is to provide an efficient simulated moving bed device and an efficient simulated moving bed process. In the present disclosure, a program-controlled valve group instead of a conventional multi-channel rotary valve is used to control a periodic switching of the simulated moving bed, which reduces a device cost. The program-controlled valve group may be flexibly switched out according to maintenance requirements, thereby facilitating the device maintenance. Each adsorption column may be switched out for maintenance and switched into the system after replacing the adsorbent. In this way, the long-term operation capability of the device is greatly improved. Furthermore, in the present disclosure, each pipeline connected to the adsorption column has a same volume, and the relative position of the circulating pump in an area is constant. Therefore, the flow rate of the circulating pump is unchanged, the pressure fluctuation is small, and the control is simple.

A first aspect of the present disclosure provides an efficient simulated moving bed device, including an adsorption bed, a raw material feeding system, a desorbent feeding system, a circulating system, an extract system, a raffinate system, a program-controlled valve group, and an automatic control system; wherein the adsorption bed includes a plurality of adsorption columns divided into an adsorption zone, a purification zone and a desorption zone; each adsorption column of the plurality of adsorption columns has an upper end provided with a raw material feeding valve, a desorbent feeding valve and a circulation fluid feeding valve and a lower end provided with a raffinate discharge valve and an extract discharge valve; a check valve is provided between two adjacent adsorption columns; the raw material feeding system is connected to the raw material feeding valve of the each adsorption column; the desorbent feeding system is connected to the desorbent feeding valve of the each adsorption column; the circulating system includes a circulating pump connected to the circulation liquid feeding valve of the each adsorption column; the extract system is connected to the extract discharge valve of the each adsorption column; the raffinate system is connected to the raffinate discharge valve of the each adsorption column; all the valves form the program-controlled valve group, the program-controlled valve group is connected to the automatic control system, and the automatic control system is configured to control an opening state and a closing state of each valve in the program-controlled valve group.

For example, a heater and/or a flow meter are/is provided downstream of the circulating pump of the circulating system.

For example, each of the valves in the program-controlled valve group is independently selected as one of a ball valve, a needle valve, a stop valve, and a butterfly valve.

For example, the valve includes a pneumatic actuator or an electric actuator.

For example, a relative position of the circulating pump in an area is constant.

For example, each connecting pipeline between the adsorption columns has a same volume.

For example, each pipeline of each adsorption column connected to the circulating pump has a same volume.

For example, the adsorption bed further includes a buffer zone. That is, the adsorption bed is divided into the adsorption zone, the purification zone, the desorption zone, and the buffer zone.

A second aspect of the present disclosure provides an efficient simulated moving bed process implemented by the efficient simulated moving bed device described above, in which valves are controlled to switch to change each feeding position and each discharging position so as to perform a simulated movement of an adsorption zone, a purification zone and a desorption zone.

For example, the valves are controlled to switch to change each feeding position and each discharging position so as to perform a simulated movement of an adsorption zone, a purification zone, a desorption zone and a buffer zone.

The valves are controlled to switch to change positions of feeding and discharging materials in t-2t, 2t-3t and 3t-4t stages, thereby realizing the simulated movement of the adsorption zone, the purification zone, the desorption zone and the buffer zone.

Compared with the related art, the present disclosure achieves beneficial effects. In view of the technical problems that the multi-channel rotary valve in the related art has a high cost and a poor long-term operation ability and is difficult in maintenance and difficult to control, the present disclosure creatively provides an efficient simulated moving bed device, in which the program-controlled valve group instead of the conventional multi-channel rotary valve is used to control the periodic switching of the simulated moving bed, thereby reducing the device cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a simulated moving bed device with a multi-channel rotary valve in the related art. In the simulated moving bed, a fixed adsorption bed is divided into a plurality of sections filled with adsorbents. With a rotation of the multi-channel rotary valve, a periodic switching of a process is realized. Positions of material inlets and outlets at a certain moment divide the entire adsorption bed into four zones. By using the multi-channel rotary valve, the simulated moving bed enables the four material inlets and outlets to move upward at a speed synchronized with a change of a solid phase concentration. In this way, a closed loop is formed. An overall result of the closed loop is substantially the same as an effect produced by keeping the positions of the inlets and outlets in place while moving the solid adsorbent from top to bottom in an adsorber, so as to achieve the separation of component A and component B. A core device of this process is the multi-channel rotary valve, so as to achieve the purpose of separating products.
