Description
~$~85~
The present invention relates to a process for recovering steam-volatile and/or water-soluble organic products from meltable residues or suspensions by extraction. More particularly, it relates to a process for the continuous separation of amines, alcohols, phenols, water-soluble organic and inorganic salts, such as, for example, common salt, the sodium salt of mercaptobenzthiazole (MBT) and mercaptobenzimidazole.
In many chemical reactions carried out industrially, a number of undesirable by-products, resins and/or salts are formed in addition to the desired end products.
In many cases, it is only possible to separate these residues in part from the unreacted starting materials and the end product. Thus, for example, the recovery of unreacted volatile starting materials by distil-lation in a thin-film evaporator will depend upon the viscosity of the residues. Non-volatile starting materials such as, for example salts of organic acids may usually be recovered only by highly expensive processes of extraction. If the residues contain inorganic salts, viscosity may only be obtained by using large proportions of the liquid starting materials even at high temperature.
The present invention now provides a process for recovering steam volatile or water-soluble, organic or inorganic products from meltable residues or suspensions containing these products by means of extraction, characterised in that extraction is carried out at a temperature below 250C
in such a way that the molten residue or the suspension is fed into a trickle plate column, extracted with steam or water condensate, the mixture issuing at the top of the column is condensed and the remaining extracted melt or suspension is drawn off together with the descending aqueous phase at the column bottom and separated.
In the process according to the present invention, compounds which form a homogeneous or heterogeneous azeotrope with water are designated as steam-volatile products. Salts of mineral and organic acids such as common _,_. -2-,~
5:~2 salt, sodium sulphate, the sodium salt of mercaptobenzthiazole and mercapto-benzimidazole are designated as water-soluble inorganic or organic products.
The removal of the volatile and/or soluble fractions from the melt-able residues or suspensions by means of steam distillation and extraction with water, or the condensate of water and the volatile fraction is desig-nated as extraction in the process according to the present invention.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a detail from a trickle plate column, illustrating the arrangement of the separating units; and Figures 2a and 2b show two possible arrangements for using a trickle plate column in the process of the invention.
The separator shown in Figure 1 is a trickle plate column which may be employed in the process of the present invention and is characterised by having a multiple arrangement of separating units ~c) consisting of a conical distributor (a) and a collector ~b). The design of such a suitable laboratory trickle plate column is described in for example the catalogue published by the company Normag ~1976 edition, page 79). It is advantageous for the process according to the present invention for the gas mixture issuing at the head of the column to condense only after rectification, and for the condensate , .
draining at the foot of the rectifying column to be used for the extraction. If the residues contain inorganic salts, a higher degree of efficiency is obtained in the upper section of the extr~ction column as a result of this step according to the invention. With a smaller number of plates, quantitative conversion of the salts from the resinous into the aqueous phase is quite feasible.
Temperatures of from 70 to 150C and pressures of from 0.5 to 10 bar, preferably 100C nnd about 1 bar are gener~lly convenient as extraction temperatures and pressures but higher temperatures of up to 250C and pressures of up to 30 bar may also be used if this is necessitated, due to the high melting point of the residue to be worked up.
However, the melting point of the residue or the suspension is normally already reduced at the first extraction stage plate by extracting the organic and inorganic salts so that a lower temperature is thereby sufficient for extraction.
The lower extraction temperature is generally influenced by the viscosity, ~ the resin.
Resins which may be recovered in the process according to the present invention include, for example, those organic products which are formed as non-usable by-products during the production of, for example, sulphenic amides. The viscosity of these resins is important when selecting the extraction temperature and also the temperature in the apparatus separating the aqueous phase from the resinous phase.`Thus, for example, resins having a viscosity ~= 1 - 30 Le A 18 o60 - 4 -~8S52 Poise at between 90 and 75C, and also resins having a viscosity of up to 200 Poise may be extracted and separated by a suitable choice of the tempera-ture.
Quantitative conversion of the organic and inorganic salts into the aqueous phase drawn off at the foot of the column together with the re-sin, is obtained by suitable choice of the extraction stages (separating units in the trickle plate column). Whereas the resins may be baked after separating the phases, the organic acids may be recovered from the aqueous phase, for example by known precipitation processes.
A separating vessel whose temperature may be controlled is part-icularly convenient for separating the resinous phase from the aqueous phase.
However, other separating means such as, for example, centrifugal separators may be used.
The process according to the present invention is preferably carried out continuously.
A possible manner of carrying out the process according to the present invention is shown diagrammatically in Figure 2 and is described be-low.
The molten residue 1 is fed into, for example, from a trickle plate column 8. Steam 2 is simultaneously supplied at the bottom of the trickle plate column and extracts the steam volatile constituents from melt in the counter-flow. The gas mixture leaving the trickle plate column is then either condensed 3 (variation a) by flowing through a stripper 9 or is rectified (variation b) in a column 10. In this case, an enriched conden-sate may be drawn off as condensate 7 in variation b. In order to extract the organic and inorganic salts from the melt, either steam condensate 6 (variation a) or the condensate draining at the bottom of the rectification column 10 (variation b) is fed onto the top plate of the trickle plate column. The condensate draining at the bottom of the column 8 and contain-ing the salts is drawn off together with the remaining resin and is intro-~85~i2 duced into the separating vessel 11. After separating the phases, theaqueous and resinous phases may be removed continuously (via 5 and 4 respect-ively).
The proportions given in the following illustrative examples are parts by weight.

20.3 % of cyclohexylamine (CHA) 41.6 % of sodium salt of mercaptobenzthiazole (NaMBT) 31.4 % of resins which were formed by reacting NaMBT with CHA and chlorine at about 50 C;
viscosity at 80C about 15 Poise, 6.7 % of NaCl were fed each hour via the feed pipe 1 onto a trickle plate column having 20 separating units (plates) at a temperature of 130C.
On average, about 1956 parts of steam condensate at about 98C and 810 parts of steam at about 1.2 bar were simultaneously added each hour via the feed pipes 6 and 2 respectively.
The vapours leaving at the head of the trickle plate column were condensed after passing through a 50 cm high packed column 9 and, subsequently, removed via the pipe 3.
The resinous and aqueous phases draining at the foot of the -trickle plate column flowed into the separating vessel 11 which was cooled sufficiently for the resin to still just be drawn off in liquid form at a temperature of 80C, for improving separation of the phase.
