The invention relates to an
inner loop reactor with reacting and separating functions. The reactor comprises a rising
pipe, a
downspout, a
solid feeding port, a
hydrocyclone inlet, an anti-flowing dead zone internal component, a liquid inlet, an air inlet, an air outlet, a flow guide drum, an air flow guide cone, an air vent, an overflow port, a
hydrocyclone, a bottom flow port, an air-liquid integrated
distributor and a liquid outlet, wherein the
hydrocyclone is arranged at the lower part of the
downspout of the loop reactor; the air flow guide cone and the air vent exist in the
downspout, so that air can be prevented from entering the hydrocyclone; after the
slurry enters the hydrocyclone, the
solid-containing
slurry enters the rising
pipe through the bottom flow port, and clean products without solids flow out from a top flow port; and an external valve is used for controlling the flow of the clean products. The
inner loop reactor has a simple structure, is low in cost, requires no special liquid-
solid separating device, can simultaneously perform air-liquid-solid three-
phase reaction,
mass transfer and separation, and is suitable for the air-liquid-solid three-
phase reaction taking solid grains as catalysts.
