Background
In the nitrobenzene production process, benzene is subjected to nitration reaction under the action of mixed acid consisting of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to generate main product nitrobenzene and simultaneously generate dangerous byproducts of nitrophenols, which must be removed. The acidic nitrobenzene is a product obtained by primarily separating the acid remaining in the p-nitrobenzene after the nitration reaction, and contains sulfuric acid, nitric acid, nitrophenol and the like in addition to the main component nitrobenzene. In the industry, generally, acidic nitrobenzene is firstly neutralized and washed by adding dilute alkali solution, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and nitrophenol in the acidic nitrobenzene are all converted into sodium salts and transferred to a water phase, and the sodium salts remained in the nitrobenzene are further washed by adopting a water washing mode after alkaline water and nitrobenzene are separated. And (3) mixing alkaline washing water and water washing water, then, feeding the mixture into a nitrobenzene waste water stripping tower, and obtaining alkaline nitrobenzene waste water from the kettle of the nitrobenzene waste water stripping tower after recycling nitrobenzene in the waste water. The amount of wastewater generated by the method is generally 0.7t wastewater/t acidic nitrobenzene no matter what washing mode is adopted, such as multi-kettle series washing, multi-sprayer series spraying washing and pipeline washing.
The nitrophenol waste water produced by the traditional washing method of acidic nitrobenzene has the nitrophenol content of 50mg/L-150mg/L, has deeper color, large biotoxicity and poor biodegradability, and belongs to phenol-containing waste water which is difficult to degrade and has biotoxicity. The nitrobenzene wastewater can not enter a large biochemical treatment device for wastewater treatment, and complex pretreatment means such as intensified oxidation and the like are needed to be adopted to convert the nitrophenol into biochemical micromolecules and send the biochemical micromolecules to biochemical treatment, thereby bringing high pretreatment cost. For nitrobenzene production enterprises of matched coal chemical enterprises, nitrobenzene wastewater is used as raw material water for pulping pulverized coal for coal blending and incineration, however, for enterprises which are not matched with coal chemical devices, the production amount of nitrobenzene wastewater directly determines the pretreatment cost of the enterprises.
On the other hand, the mixed acid of the acidic nitrobenzene is often not thoroughly separated from the nitrobenzene, a large amount of liquid alkali is consumed by sulfuric acid and nitric acid during direct alkali washing, and the main purpose of the acidic nitrobenzene washing is to remove the dangerous by-product nitrophenol. In the mixed acid nitration process, sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, water is generated during the nitration reaction, so that the concentration of acid separated from the nitration product becomes thin to about 68wt.%, and the water needs to be evaporated by adopting a vacuum concentration mode, and 86wt.% of concentrated acid is returned for use. In the dilute acid concentration process, the concentrated water with the acid content of 0.3wt.% is also neutralized with the alkaline wastewater generated in the acidic nitrobenzene alkaline water washing process to become non-biochemical nitrobenzene wastewater, so that the nitrobenzene wastewater yield is increased.
