In the chemical pharmaceutical industry, penicillin production is a common operation unit. In the extraction process, the solvent extraction method has a significant effect. The solvent extraction method is to use a suitable extractant to extract and separate penicillin from the liquid, with high extraction efficiency and large processing capacity.
For the selection of penicillin extraction and penicillin extraction equipment, ethyl acetate is used as the extractant, solvent extraction method is selected as the process, and common equipment selections include centrifugal extractors, mixer settlers, extraction columns, reactors, etc. Different extraction equipment has different extraction rates for penicillin and different processing capacities.
One of our customers used extraction columns to extract penicillin before. During the operation, the processing volume was small, there was entrainment, and liquid flooding. In response to these phenomena, the customer wanted to replace the equipment. Hoped our company provide the corresponding equipment and process.
In response to the customer's problem, Zhengzhou Tiei Extraction Technology selected the CWL-M centrifugal extractor equipment for it. The specific process is: the feed liquid and the extractant are injected into the centrifugal extractor through different inlets according to a certain ratio, and the feed liquid and the extractant are quickly mixed and transferred by the centrifugal force of the centrifugal extractor, and then the extractant containing the organic phase is separated from the feed liquid by the centrifugal shear force, and discharged from the body through different outlets.
The working principle of CWL-M centrifugal extractor is fundamentally different from other extraction equipment. The advantages of centrifugal extractor are as follows
- The equipment has a simple and stable structure, adopts a top-suspended single-point structure, has no bottom bearing and mechanical seal in the processing area, and has no risk of leakage, which solves the problem of frequent failures and short service life of centrifugal extractors and saves equipment maintenance costs.
- The equipment can be made of perfluorinated polymer materials, which can resist corrosion from strong acids (hydrochloric acid, mixed acids, etc.).
- Good mixing and separation effects, a variety of mixing structures are available, with high separation effects, and can be applied to systems that are easily emulsified.
CWL-M centrifugal extractor has a wide range of applications, not only in pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The above is the application of centrifugal extractor in the extraction of pharmaceutical penicillin.
