An integrated barrel for producing chitin

Abstract

The invention provides an integral barrel for chitin production and belongs to the field of chitin production. The integral barrel comprises a bracket, a cylinder and a cylinder cover, wherein the bracket is distributed on the periphery of the cylinder and supports the cylinder; a controller is arranged at the upper right part of the cylinder; a heating pipe is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder; high-temperature steam is introduced in the heating pipe circularly; the heating pipe is connected with a heating device arranged in the inner wall of the cylinder; the integral barrel furthercomprises a liquid feeding device, a discharging device, a liquid draining device, a monitoring device and a stirring assembly. With adoption of the integral barrel, not only can physical and chemical indexes such as pressure, temperature, pH, viscosity and the like of feed liquids in the cylinder be monitored in real time, but also procedures including water washing, alkali boiling, water washing, acid leaching and water washing can be performed continuously and automatically; mixing, dispersion and heat exchange of the feed liquids can be efficiently realized by the stirring assembly and the heating device, the chitin production efficiency is increased, and cost of energy, labor, time and the like is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of chitin production, in particular to an integrated barrel for producing chitin. Background technique [0002] Chitin, Chitin in English, the chemical name is poly N-acetylglucosamine, often translated as chitin. Chitin is a major component in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods, and other animals also contain it. It is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polysaccharide, together with β-1,4 pattern, in its immutable form, chitin is translucent, pliable, elastic and very tough. But in arthropods it is often altered, by embedding itself in a hardened protein matrix that forms most of the exoskeleton. Usually the exoskeleton of insects does not change, but larvae or shrimps and crabs do, because the shell made of chitin does not grow. [0003] Chitin exists in the cells of lower plant fungi and algae in nature, the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and insects, and the cell walls of higher plants....
