The invention discloses an
acetone-generating method for treating
furfural wastewater. The method includes the steps that 1, antalkalies are added into the
furfural wastewater, and a neutral reaction is carried out to generate
calcium acetate, wherein blocky or granular or powdery limestone or
lime is added into the
furfural wastewater to neutralize
acetic acid in the furfural wastewater, the limestone or the
lime is reacted with the
acetic acid to generate the
calcium acetate, the pH value of the waste liquid with the low-concentration
calcium acetate is measured, and limestone or
lime is added till the pH value ranges from 7 to 8; 2, the calcium acetate is separated, wherein the waste liquid with the low-concentration calcium acetate is heated through
waste heat of
aldehyde gas generated in the furfural production process, double-effect
evaporation is carried out, the waste liquid is evaporated and concentrated, when the content of the calcium acetate in the waste liquid ranges from 30% to 40%, separating and
dewatering are carried out through a centrifugal
machine or
dewatering is carried out through a plate-and-frame
filter press, the crystallized calcium acetate is separated, and waste mother liquid is remixed with the neutralized furfural waste liquid; 3, the calcium acetate is thermally decomposed to obtain
acetone, wherein the obtained calcium acetate is thermally decomposed in a closed device, the decomposing temperature ranges from 140 DEG C to 160 DEG C, the decomposing products are
calcium carbonate and the
acetone, the gas acetone is condensed to the temperature lower than 56 DEG C through a condenser, and a liquid
acetone product is obtained.
