The invention provides an internal circulation hydrogenation reactor for producing
hydrogen peroxide by an
anthraquinone process and a hydrogenation method, the reactor comprises an outer cylinder and a middle cylinder which are coaxially arranged, and at least one inner cylinder arranged in the middle cylinder, the inner cylinder is filled with catalyst particles, an
anthraquinone working solution and
hydrogen enter the reactor from the bottom and are subjected to a
contact reaction in the inner cylinder, and the
anthraquinone working solution and the
hydrogen are separated from the inner cylinder. Under the driving of the working solution and hydrogen, the catalyst and the working solution move upwards to the top of the inner cylinder, then move downwards through a gap between the inner cylinder and the middle cylinder, and continue to perform
hydrogenation reaction under the condition of supplementing hydrogen, and after reaching the bottom, part of the working solution and the catalyst flow back to the inner cylinder, and part of the working solution moves upwards through a gap between the middle cylinder and the outer cylinder; residual
solid particles in the working liquid are precipitated in the ascending process of the liquid and flow back to the bottom of the inner
barrel, primary
solid-liquid separation is completed, and the separated working liquid is discharged through a liquid outlet in the upper part of the outer
barrel, namely the hydrogenated liquid. The reactor provided by the invention adopts an internal circulating
fluidized bed form, realizes anthraquinone
hydrogenation reaction, is beneficial to uniform mixing of reaction materials and a catalyst, has good
mass and
heat transfer effects in a
system, few side reactions and high product quality, and can well solve the hot spot problem generated in the production process of a
fixed bed hydrogenator.
