Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the treatment of water mainly containing as pollutants methacrylic acid (AMA) , methyl ⁇ -hydroxyisobutyrate and methanol, having a COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand expressed in mg/litre of 0 2 ) higher than 5,000 to give for 65-85% waters having a COD lower than 1,600 and for 15-35% waters having a COD higher than 20, 000.
- AMA pollutants methacrylic acid
- COD Chemical Oxygen Demand expressed in mg/litre of 0 2
- acetoncyanohydrin reacts with an excess of sulphuric acid and also is a solvent of the methacrylamide produced by the reaction.
- the obtained methacrylamide sulphate solution is subsequently subjected to esterification, in a column or in a series rector battery, with a methanol aqueous solution to give methylmethacrylate.
- the methylmethacrylate is separated from the mixture by stripping with vapour in counter-current from the column or from the series of reactors obtaining as a residue an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid containing ammonium bisulphate and organic by-products .
- the sulphuric acid of the residue is recovered as ammonium sulphate by neutralization with ammonia.
- the obtained solution formed of water, ammonium sulphate and organic byproducts, is fed to chrystallizers . After water evaporation, ammonium sulphate suspension is obtained. Ammonium sulphate is then separated by centrifugation.
- the condensed water evaporated from the chrystallizers has a flow-rate generally ranging from 5 to 50 m 3 /h, preferably from 20 to 30 m 3 /h and contains as main organic by-products generally from 1,000 to 3,000 ppm of methacrylic acid, from 20 to 700 ppm of methyl ⁇ -hydroxyisobutyrate, from 200 to 1,000 ppm of methanol and it has a COD in the range 5,000- 12,000 and an ammonium concentration NH 4 + in the range 100-800 ppm.
- This water flow must be chemically treated before wasting them owing to its high COD content and the presence of ammonium NH 4 + .
- the chemical treatment to lower the COD under the law limits, is long and expensive due to the high water amount to be treated and the high cost of the necessary chemical reactants .
- An object of the present invention is a process for the

- a permeate (a) being about 65-85% of the initial flow, containing from 3 to 200 ppm,
- step (A) the water at the end of step (A) must have a pH from 5 to 11,
- water is between 3 and 5.
- water to be treated has a

- ppm of methacrylic acid preferably from 1,000 to 3,000 ppm
- tyrate preferably from 20 to 700 ppm, having a COD between
- 3,000 and 20,000 preferably from 5,000 to 12,000, a NH 4 + between 50 and 2.000 ppm, preferably from 100 to 800 ppm and
- ammonia at temperatures from 15°C to 40°C, preferably from 25° to 30°C, to obtain a pH between 5 and 9,
- a permeate (a) being about 65-85% of the initial flow, containing from 3 to 200 ppm of methacrylic acid, preferaably from 5 to 45 ppm, from 80 to 2,800 ppm of methanol, preferably from 160 to 1,800 ppm, from 0 to 100 ppm of methyl ⁇ -hydroxyisobutyrate, preferably from 0 to 10 ppm and having a COD in the range 200-3,500, preferably 400-1,600, an ammonium ion concentration comprised between 2 and 200 ppm, preferably between 7 and 80 ppm, and a concentrate (b) , being about 15-35% of the initial flow comprising from 1,000 to 35,000 ppm of methacrylic acid, preferably from 2,000 to 6,000 ppm, from 120 to 3,200 ppm of methanol, preferably from 240 to 2,200 ppm, from 30 to 13,000 ppm of methyl a
- step (B) the feeding of the aqueous mixture obtained in (A) is preferably carried out by pressurization pumps, at a pressure of 5-70 bar, preferably 10-40 bar, more preferably 15-35 bar, with a flow from 5 to 50 m 3 /h, more preferably from 15 to 30 m 3 /h, to a wound spiral type reverse osmosis membranes collected in modules capable to separate molecules from 5 to 10 A, with a filtering surface of 32.5 m 2 /module .
- step (A) by treating the condensed water as described in step (A) and by using reverse osmosis membranes, it is separated an amount of methacrylic acid, and preferably also of methyl a- hydroxyisobutyrate higher than the amount separated without carrying out step (A) (see the comparative Examples) .
- reverse osmosis membranes by are those available on the market of the BRACKISH WATER or SEA WATER type by DESAL .
- the permeate (a) can be recycled in the plant for preparing MMA as washing water or processing water or disposed as waste water.
- the concentrate (b) comprising methacrylic acid and methyl ⁇ -hydroxyisobutyrate is recycled in the process for obtaining MMA to give a further amount of methylmethacrylate .
- Example 1 and the Example 3 have been respectively repeated but avoiding the treatment of the water with ammonia.
