Cyanuric Acid Plant

Cyanuric acid (Formula: C3H3N3O3; Molar mass: 129.07 g/mol) is a structural analogue of melamine. Cyanuric acid is an FDA-accepted component of feed-grade biuret, a ruminant feed additive. It is also found in swimming pool water as the dissociation product of dichloroisocyanurates used for water disinfection. When used in drinking water for disinfection purposes, sodium dichloroisocyanurate is rapidly dechlorinated to cyanurate.
Cyanuric acid like many industrially useful chemicals, this triazine has many synonyms. These white, odorless solid finds use as a precursor or a component of bleaches, disinfectants, and herbicides

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) Plant

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) (Molecular formula: C3O3N3Cl2Na; Molecular weight: 219.95) produces hypochlorous acid when it is hydrolysed. It has the advantages of high efficiency, rapidity, safety, low toxicity and long effective time for sterilization and algae disinfection. It is an ideal replacement for disinfectant and is widely used in water. The effect of sterilization and algae removal in oilfield water.
In the past ten years, some of the developed countries have used this product by increased 6% per year. It is widely used as milk products, food processing equipment, tableware, public swimming pool disinfection, and also as a “4-in-1” detergent additive in washing powders. E.g Adding 0.3-0.5% Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate can remove bacteria and viruses on clothes in few minute times, including HIV, which is very suitable for medicine, restaurants, hotels, and also for pre-treatment of agricultural seeds, animal husbandry grassland pest control, silkworm disinfection, fruit preservation, feed mould, wool shrinkage, paper bleaching, rubber chlorination and printing and dyeing auxiliaries.
The plant built by Synopsis Chemitech for Sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate mainly includes “Direct Method” and “Indirect Method”.

Direct method: Use Cyanuric Acid (Trisodium cyanurate solution) as raw material and direct chlorination in the formation of sodium dichloroisocyanurate and it will become Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dishydrate through crystallization, filtration with various processes.
The “Direct Method” process is simple,
However, a small amount of the sodium chloride produced in the chlorination process will be entrained in the products. Therefore, a special washing process become necessary for the removal of sodium chloride, due to the higher solubility of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate (25%, 25°C), it results in too much wastewater being generated, and few amount of products will be dissolved into the mother liquor to affect the output of production rate.
In case without washing process, then the quality of the products will be affected by the sodium chloride contained in the SDIC.

Indirect method: Use Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and Trisodium cyanurate solution to form the Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate, 3 mol Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate formed by the reaction of 2mol trichloroisocyanuric acid with 1mol trisodium cyanurate in aqueous solution.

The Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate produced from this method does not contain sodium chloride, therefore high-quality products can be produced without washing process.
The process of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate plant by Indirect method will be complicated, generally it will not be recommend for the production of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate if it works independently. However, if the Sodium Dichloroisocyanuric Dihydrate plant works synchronized with the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid plant then the total processes & operation costs for Sodium Dichloroisocyanuric Dihydrate will be reduced significantly.

Therefore, the Indirect method process will be better when both Trichloroisocyanuric Acid plant and Sodium Dichloroisocyanuric Dihydrate plant works synchronized.

TCCA Mother Liquor Treatments Technology

The process of TCCA mother liquor treatment system provided by Synopsis Chemitech are based on our advanced resin adsorption with chemical oxidation technology which can be deeply treated the TCCA mother liquor completely.

The technology of treatment system developed by Synopsis Chemitech are mainly for the mother liquor of Trichloroisocyanuric acid. The main components of mother liquor are the dissolved trichloroisocyanuric acid; sodium dichloroisocyanurate and NaCl.

The treatment method as follows:
Step 1: Will be the acidification process. Which is to add the hydrochloric acid into mother liquor in order to aid decomposition of trichloroisocyanuric acid and sodium dichloroisocyanurate to cyanuric acid, Cl2 gas and NaCl for recovery.
Step 2: Dechlorination; Neutralization; Cooling & Precipitation; cyanuric acid generated as solid type can be separated and recovered from the TCCA mother liquor. Cl2 gas then overflows from the mother liquor and it will be returned to the production system of trichloroisocyanuric acid. the mother liquor become colorless and odorless after treatment and COD will be less that 350mg/l.
This reaction can be carried out under room temperature, also can be improved the reaction speed by increase of temperature, which is conducive for the recovery of Cl2 precipitated in the reaction process. Due to the low solubility of cyanuric acid in water, cyanuric acid in the mother liquor precipitates out in the crystalline state after acidification and can be recovered by solid-liquid separation.
Step 3: …
Step 4: …
