Electrocatalysis synthesis reactor

Abstract

An electrocatalytic synthesis reactor is provided, which relates to a reactor for chemical synthesis and mainly comprises a gas distribution chamber, a tubular electrocatalysis chamber, a collection chamber, a product discharge port, a cooling medium chamber and a housing, wherein a material gas inlet is provided on the side wall of the gas distribution chamber, the gas distribution chamber communicates with the collection chamber through the tubular electrocatalysis chamber, the product discharge port is provided at the bottom of the collection chamber, each unit of the tubular electrocatalysis chamber is defined by the inner space of an external electrode tube bundle and provided inside with a central electrode, and the periphery of the external electrode tube bundles is the cooling medium chamber. The synthesis reactor realizes synthetic reactions based on the synergetic catalysis of low-temperature plasmas and catalysts, allows the synthetic reactions to perform under approximately normal pressure, and allows the raw gases to enter the synthesis reactor without compression, thereby reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the synthesis reactor has the advantages of good selectivity, controllable reaction speed, and workability of producing methanol, dimethyl ether and synthetic ammonia by inputting raw gases related to the target product and selecting the relevant catalytic electrodes or catalysts.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chemical equipment, in particular to a chemical synthesis reactor. Background technique [0002] Currently, due to energy shortage, methanol and dimethyl ether have aroused people's interest in replacing energy. In recent years, the consumption of methanol and dimethyl ether in replacing energy has increased significantly, which has promoted the development of methanol and dimethyl ether industries. Currently widely used synthetic ammonia, methanol, and dimethyl ether synthesis equipment require high operating pressure to synthesize the target product in the presence of a catalyst. For example, the operating pressure of synthetic ammonia is above 8 MPa, and the operating pressure of synthetic methanol is 3-15 MPa. Among them, the operating pressure for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas is between 2 and 5 MPa. To obtain the above operating pressure, multi-stage compression must be adopted to achieve it,...

Problems solved by technology

Currently widely used synthetic ammonia, methanol, and dimethyl ether synthesis equipment require high operating pressure to synthesize the target product in the presence of a catalyst. For example, the operating pressure of synthetic ammonia is above 8 MPa, and the operating pressure of synthetic methanol is 3-15 MPa. Among them, the operating pressure for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas is between 2 and 5 MPa. To obtain the above operating pressure, multi-stage compression must be adopted to achieve it, resulting in high energy consumption, huge equipment and high cost, and catalysts. Disadvantages of easy deactivation, high operation and maintenance costs
