The invention discloses a method for reducing residue output in a
sodium hydrosulfite production process, the method comprises the following steps: S1, pumping
sodium hydrosulfite rectification residual liquid into a first-effect
evaporator, heating with steam, evaporating, and concentrating in a second-effect
evaporator to obtain concentrated liquid and condensate; s2, feeding the concentrated solution into a curing kettle B, heating and concentrating with steam, discharging to a centrifugal head tank, feeding into a centrifugal
machine, and centrifuging to obtain
sodium formate and centrifugal
mother liquor; s3, pumping the centrifugal
mother liquor into a curing kettle A, continuously heating and concentrating with steam, adding
methanol for extraction after concentration, removing supernatant liquid, connecting other materials with a
metal hose, putting the other materials into a dryer, carrying out pressure
filtration with
nitrogen to obtain pressure
filtration mother liquor, and treating the pressure
filtration mother liquor to obtain
sodium formate; s4, after the four-in-one mother liquor tank reaches a second preset liquid level, pumping liquid in the four-in-one mother liquor tank into an
evaporation kettle, gasifying
methanol, condensing and recycling so that a kettle bottom concentrated solution is sodium hydrosulfite residues. The method has the beneficial effect of reducing the generation amount of residues.
