  • Treatment Of Liquids With Adsorbents In General (AREA)

Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize the system and maintain the purity of the component measuring at least one of the concentrations of extracted and recovered solutions and changing the step time for changing the positions of a supplying inlet and an extracting outlet. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of towers filled with a solid adsorbent are connected endlessly and a fluid is circulated in the filled towers using a circulating pump. An inlet for supplying a liquid to be treated. an outlet for extracting an un- adsorbable material-rich fluid, an eluted solution supplying inlet, and an outlet for extracting an adsorbable material-rich fluid are put successively along the direction of the flow of the circulating fluid and the positions are moved periodically along the flow of the circulating fluid. Then, the fluid component concentrations are measured at one or both of the fluid extracting outlets and the period to move the supplying inlets and the extracting outlets periodically is shortened or prolonged to adjust and maintain the prescribed purities of the components. As a result, the control is carried out without affecting the structural apparatus of the system such as the flow amount of the pump. Also, the method is easily automated and the response is quick.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, chromatography has been widely used as a method for separating two or more components contained in raw materials such as isomer mixtures. This method uses an adsorbent such as an ion exchange resin or zeolite, and performs separation by utilizing the difference in adsorption performance of each component to the adsorbent.

A fixed bed method and a moving bed method are known as separation methods using this type of chromatography. The fixed bed method is a batch operation and is not suitable for processing large amounts of liquid. As a method for performing steady-state adsorption separation in continuous operation,
There is a moving bed method in which the adsorbed solid phase and the free liquid phase are moved countercurrently and brought into contact. However, it is actually difficult to move solids continuously. Therefore, the pseudo moving bed method, which uses sequence control to switch a large number of valves at regular intervals to perform operations as if solids are moving, has been proposed due to problems such as separation efficiency and adsorbent movement. This method is suitable for separating liquids.

In the simulated moving bed system, a plurality of adsorbent packed columns are connected in series in an endless manner to form an endless group of packed columns, and a circulation pump is used to create a fluid flow. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the operation of a simulated moving bed system consisting of eight packed columns. The packed column group consists of four sections: a raw material inlet, an outlet for components that are difficult to adsorb, an eluent supply port, and an outlet for components that are easily adsorbed.These four fluid supply and extraction ports are arranged in this order. is set up. Separation of components is performed by setting flow rates under predetermined conditions and moving all the supply and extraction ports one tower at a time to the downstream side at fixed time intervals. Control technology for such systems is as follows:
As in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 63-20006, a method has been proposed to accurately control the flow rate and separate target components with high efficiency by measuring the pressure and controlling each pump according to its fluctuations. There is.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, by controlling the flow rate alone, it is not possible to detect minute fluctuations in the quality of the highly purified recovered liquid. for example,
There is a problem in that it is not possible to follow the deterioration of the packed tower that occurs during long-term use or concentration fluctuations due to some cause.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is based on the new knowledge that there is a large correlation between the flow rate of the circulation pump and the quality of the extracted and recovered liquid. , a method that makes it possible to stabilize the system and maintain purity by measuring a specific instantaneous value of at least one of the extracted and recovered liquids and changing the time interval (step time) for changing the positions of the supply and extraction ports. I found it.

What is the specific instantaneous value of the extracted and recovered liquid? When monitoring at the extraction section of a substance with weak adsorption power, it is near the time just before the step time switch, and when monitoring at the extraction section of a substance with strong adsorption power, it is at the step. Immediately after the time change, a large amount of a substance with a strong adsorption force is contained in the extraction part of a substance with a weak adsorption force, and a large amount of a substance with a weak adsorption force is contained in a extraction part of a substance with a strong adsorption force. This corresponds to the time during which the collected liquid can be collected. The system is stabilized and purity maintained by measuring at least one of the specific instantaneous values of the extracted and recovered liquid and changing the step time for changing the positions of the supply and extraction ports.

(作用) 以下に本発明の制御システムの作用を説明する。(effect) The operation of the control system of the present invention will be explained below.

An explanatory diagram of the operation of a conventional general simulated moving bed is shown in FIG. This figure shows the position of the supply and withdrawal ports at a particular time. Figure 3 shows the concentration distribution in the packed column when stable separation is performed in this system. At this time, the fluid is recovered from the fluid extraction portion by repeating the concentration fluctuations as shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b). The A component in the figure is a substance with strong adsorption power, and the B component is a substance with weak adsorption power. The fluid passes through the A component extraction port so that the concentration distribution shifts from the right to the left of the three columns in Figure 3, and at the same time as it reaches the left end, the extraction port moves one column downstream and similarly shifts from the right to the left. to pass through. Therefore, the concentration fluctuation at the A component extraction port progresses as a repeated concentration fluctuation as shown in FIG. 4(a). The B component extraction port moves from the right to the left of the 7 towers in FIG. 2, and progresses as shown in FIG. 4(b) with repeated concentration fluctuations. Therefore, it can be seen that by analyzing the instantaneous value of the A component extraction port immediately after the step time change, and the B component immediately before the step time change, it is possible to obtain the analytical value of the impurity component at a relatively high concentration. .

In general, it is necessary to analyze the specific instantaneous value for measurement by taking into account the time it takes for the fluid in the circulation line to reach the analysis point after switching the step time, but if this effect is not considered, It is desirable to analyze the fluid at approximately 0.05T to 0.2T time as a guideline. For example, when the step time is 20 minutes, it is desirable to perform analysis 2 minutes after or before switching the step time at 0.1T time. When it is larger than 0.2T, the impurity concentration decreases and the detection accuracy decreases. If it is smaller than 0.05T, there is a risk that the analysis will be influenced by the fluid concentration after the step time is changed to be larger than it actually is.

It is also possible to control the flow rate of the circulation pump while keeping the step time constant, but adjusting the pump flow rate may actually make the control of the system unstable if its fluctuations are monitored by another control. This is not a good idea considering the amount of time it takes for the system to stabilize after fluctuations.

Concerning the measurement device, a continuous analysis device such as a UV monitor can be used, but an intermittent analysis device (for example, high performance liquid chromatography) can also be installed in the line to perform automatic analysis.

The step time is set to a predetermined time, but if the amount of impurities in the analysis value at a specific moment at the extraction port exceeds the allowable value, the step time can be adjusted by temporarily shortening or extending it. do. At this time, if the content of a substance with a weak adsorption force increases at an outlet with a strong adsorption force, the time period will be shortened, and if the content of a substance with a strong adsorption force increases in an outlet with a weak adsorption force, the time period will be lengthened. If both wave exits return to normal values after repeating this operation, it is possible to minimize the disturbance in the system by setting the step time under new conditions, or by monitoring the situation and returning it to the previously determined value. I can do it. Note that normally, the system is operated under predetermined conditions for about 10 cycles in advance to form a concentration pattern in the system, and then the above-described control of the present invention is performed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the system is adjusted and maintained by adjusting the time interval for intermittently moving the fluid extraction port, so it does not affect the system components such as the pump flow rate. can be controlled without In addition, purity measurement requires measuring a sample that has been fractionated and averaged during each step, but the method of the present invention analyzes the instantaneous value and compares it with a predetermined value, so automation is not possible. Easy and quick response. Since the analyzer is installed on the extraction line, it has the advantage that control can be achieved by installing one or two analyzers.
