Lower region at the displacement tower has the introducing port of the 2nd dispersion medium, also has the conveying end of the displacement slurries that form with the 2nd replacing dispersion medium.And, when using whipping appts, preferably it is arranged near the tangent line of bottom or below.Because the 2nd dispersion medium does not contain the TA crystallization and proportion is low, so for thorough mixing the 2nd dispersion medium and displacement slurries, the introducing port of the 2nd dispersion medium preferably is arranged on the below of lower region.In addition, because the displacement slurries are high specific gravity,, preferably be arranged on as far as possible position away from the introducing port of the 2nd dispersion medium so the conveying end of displacement slurries also preferably is arranged on the below of lower region.
In addition, the ratio of the taking-up flow of the 2nd dispersion medium in the importing flow of described the 2nd dispersion medium and the displacement slurries, mass ratio in time per unit, the importing flow of the 2nd dispersion medium: the taking-up flow of 2nd dispersion medium of displacement in the slurries is preferably 1: 1-1.5: 1, more preferably 1.01: 1-1.2: 1.

Whipping appts is so long as in fact with the device of homogenizing in the lower region, just be not particularly limited.Can use the various stirrers that have agitating wing, also can use the outer loop device that produces mixed flow at lower region.Agitating wing can be enumerated spiral paddle, the turbine wing, the blade wing, the disc turbine wing, the tilting blade wing etc.Under the situation of using the outer loop device, circulation tube is arranged on displacement tower outside, takes out the interior liquid of lower region, turns back in the lower region by recycle pump.In this outer loop process, preferably can also get involved whipping appts with agitating wing.In addition, in order to help to stir, also preferably add baffle plate (baffle) in displacement tower bottom.Stirrer with agitating wing does not need the groove integral body of oxidation reactor or partial crystallization groove is stirred, so not need be two sections, three sections to agitating wing, in addition, owing to only stir the part zone of lower region, so do not need strong mixing power.
Among the present invention, the 1st dispersion medium of magma carries out in borderline region with the effect of the 2nd replacing dispersion medium.In order to obtain higher and more stable displacement efficiency, be necessary the stable borderline region that forms.From then on viewpoint is considered, whipping appts is when having the stirrer of agitating wing, and the stir shaft that for example supports agitating wing does not preferably pass borderline region from the top of displacement tower and extends to lower region.When in above-mentioned borderline region, having stir shaft, borderline region is discontinuous, the influence of moving because of the vibration of the rotation influence of stir shaft, stir shaft and the heat by stir shaft, make and the borderline region confusion be difficult to the stability boundaris zone as adhering to TA crystalline influence etc. on the influence of the wall of stir shaft and the stir shaft.Therefore, preferably utilize whipping appts the Contact Boundary zone, that be not arranged on displacement tower downside to stir, or preferably use the outer loop device.
When between region intermediate and lower region, having temperature head, also can effectively form borderline region.This be since as the acetate of dispersion medium and water be temperature high specific gravity is more little more, when middle regional temperature was higher than lower region, the mobile of dispersion medium tailed off in borderline region, borderline region is stable.Therefore, the temperature of region intermediate is preferably higher more than 3 ℃ than the temperature of lower region, and is more preferably high more than 5 ℃, more preferably more than 10 ℃.The temperature of region intermediate determines according to the input heat of the rising flow part of the input heat of magma and the 2nd dispersion medium, and the temperature of lower region determines according to the heat that settled TA crystallization in the input heat of the 2nd dispersion medium and the displacement tower is had.
By the importing flow of regulating the 2nd dispersion medium and the taking-up flow of replacing slurries, the TA content of may command displacement slurries.These Flow-rate adjustment are related to steady running, very important, the adjusting of taking-up flow of the importing flow of the 2nd dispersion medium and displacement slurries can influence the relativeness of the TA content of the TA content of lower region and region intermediate, and its result is related to the displacement efficiency of dispersion medium and the operation difficulty or ease of displacement slurries.The TA content of described region intermediate determines according to the TA crystalline treatment capacity in the displacement tower.TA crystalline treatment capacity is meant and will imports to the result of the TA crystallization import volume of displacement tower divided by the sectional area of the region intermediate of displacement tower as magma.In addition, the taking-up flow that the TA content of lower region can import flow and displacement slurries according to the stirring and the 2nd dispersion medium of the whipping appts that is arranged on displacement tower bottom is set arbitrarily in as the scope that evenly slurries of content can exist.
The displacement tower that uses among the present invention is the device that is used for commercial-scale TA preparation, and its internal diameter is [condition (1)] in the scope of 1-7m.The processing power of displacement tower is owing to mainly determine according to the TA crystallization treatment amount of per unit sectional area, so the internal diameter for preparing the throughput decision displacement tower of equipment according to TA gets final product.If when the TA crystallization more than the processing power is handled, the TA crystalline free setting in the region intermediate is hindered, and reduces displacement efficiency.
The shape of displacement tower is preferably cylinder, can enumerate sphere, ellipse or taper shape etc., particularly lower roof plate for upper plate and lower roof plate and be preferably the ellipse that easily lower region is formed homogeneously dispersed state.The displacement tower that uses among the present invention does not need shelf etc., so accumulation of TA crystalline or obstruction can not occur.But, must not negate the setting of shelf among the present invention.
In addition, the operating temperature of displacement tower so long as the temperature below the boiling point of each dispersion medium of running under the pressure get final product.
The height L of the region intermediate of displacement tower
A(rice) is meant that importing position (the introducing port position of magma) from magma is to the distance of the upper surface of borderline region.
For the stability boundaris zone, be necessary to keep to make the distance of the TA crystallization free setting that imports in the displacement tower.Therefore, height L
A(rice) is necessary to be set in the 0.3-4 scope [condition (2)] doubly of displacement tower internal diameter, is preferably 0.5-2.2 times of displacement tower internal diameter.As height L
ADuring 0.3 times of (rice) is not enough displacement tower internal diameter, the TA crystallization can not free setting, and the magma that flies out from the introducing port of magma can chaotic borderline region, and the tendency that reduces displacement efficiency is arranged.On the other hand, as height L
AWhen (rice) surpassed 4 times that replace the tower internal diameter, the displacement tower became very big, so be difficult to actual deviceization.
Height L among the present invention
B(rice) is, as mentioned above, be equivalent to distance, perhaps do not use under the situation of agitating wing, be equivalent to distance from the lower surface of borderline region to the bottom tangent line of displacement tower in the situation of utilizing the outer loop device etc. from the lower surface of borderline region to the agitating wing of whipping appts.In addition, the bottom tangent line is meant the vertical tube part of displacement tower and the boundary line of lower roof plate.
For the stability boundaris zone, be necessary that the TA crystallization keeps homogeneously dispersed state in the high lower region of TA content, the maintenance borderline region does not rock or does not fluctuate.
Therefore, height L
B(rice) is necessary to be set in the 0.3-1.5 scope [condition (2)] doubly of displacement tower internal diameter, is preferably the 0.5-1 scope doubly of displacement tower internal diameter.As height L
BDuring 0.3 times of (rice) is not enough displacement tower internal diameter, under the situation of using agitating wing, from the discharging current or the rotating fluid of agitating wing borderline region is exerted an influence, chaotic borderline region is so reduce displacement efficiency.In addition, under the situation of using the outer loop device, be necessary the home position of circulation line is descended, because from of the taking-up generation detrimentally affect of circulation line return port round-robin discharging current to the displacement slurries, so can not evenly keep the TA content in the lower region, its result reduces displacement efficiency.On the other hand, as height L
BWhen (rice) surpasses 1.5 times of displacement tower internal diameter, reduce the stirring efficiency in the lower region, the TA crystallization in can not the homodisperse lower region, its result reduces displacement efficiency.In addition, under the situation of using the outer loop device, the displacement tower becomes very big, is difficult to actual deviceization, so not preferred.
Among the present invention, the mixed solution with displacement tower inside forms borderline region between region intermediate and lower region.The position of described borderline region determines according to importing flow and TA content, the importing flow of the 2nd dispersion medium and the taking-up flow and the TA content of displacement slurries of magma.
The height L of borderline region determines according to the temperature head of poor, the region intermediate of the TA content of displacement tower internal diameter, region intermediate and lower region and lower region, TA crystalline particle diameter etc.In order to obtain high displacement efficiency, be necessary that by the above-mentioned condition of suitable decision the height L that makes borderline region is the scope [condition (3)] of 0.1-1m.
The present invention is necessary to make the variable quantity X (quality %/rice) of the TA content of the per unit height in the borderline region to satisfy following condition (4) in order to increase substantially displacement efficiency.
