Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vinyl chloride production, and more specifically, relates to a gas-liquid phase vinyl chloride production device and process. Background Art

[0002] Vinyl chloride, also known as vinyl chloride, is a type of halogenated hydrocarbon and an important raw material for the plastics industry. It is mainly used to produce polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC, the world's largest-produced general-purpose plastic). It can also be copolymerized with vinyl acetate, butadiene, acrylonitrile, acrylate, vinylidene chloride, etc. to manufacture adhesives, coatings, food packaging materials, building materials, etc. It can be used as a refrigerator due to its low boiling point. It can also be used as an extractant for dyes and spices.

[0003] At present, the main industrial synthesis methods of vinyl chloride monomer are acetylene hydrochlorination and ethylene oxychlorination. In 2017, China's PVC production capacity reached about 23 million tons, and about 80% of PVC production came from the acetylene route, accounting for about 40% of the global PVC production capacity. However, the acetylene method uses a fixed bed reactor to produce vinyl chloride. Acetylene and hydrogen chloride react on the surface of a solid catalyst. The acetylene hydrochlorination reaction is a highly exothermic reaction. Therefore, the gas-solid phase reaction is often accompanied by severe temperature runaway and surface carbon accumulation, which can easily cause catalyst deactivation, and there are many side reactions. The product has a high impurity content, which puts pressure on the subsequent product refinement. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a gas-liquid phase vinyl chloride production device, comprising

[0041] A reaction tower 1, wherein the reaction tower 1 is provided with two gas-liquid reaction zones with fillers 10 at the upper and lower parts, the reaction tower 1 is provided with a liquid catalyst inlet 16 at the upper part, and a liquid catalyst outlet 18 at the lower part, for circulating the liquid catalyst in and out of the reaction tower 1, the reaction tower 1 is provided with a mixed gas inlet 8 at the lower part, and a reaction gas outlet 15 at the top of the reaction tower 1;

[0047] In this embodiment, the reaction tower 1 is used for gas-liquid contact and reaction. The liquid catalyst enters from the liquid catalyst inlet and is then distributed by the liquid distributor 12 and then sprinkled. A mixed gas inlet 8 is provided at the lower part of the reaction tower 1 for the mixed gas to enter. After entering, the mixed gas is distributed by the gas distributor 9 and then flows upward, thereby making full contact with the falling liquid catalyst and reacting under the action of the liquid catalyst, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the reaction. Two packing areas, that is, two reaction contact areas, are provided in the reaction tower 1. Before the liquid and gas enter the two areas respectively, they need to pass through the liquid distributor 12 and the gas distributor 9, thereby greatly improving the contact area and making the reaction sufficient.

[0048] In order to solve the problem of reaction heat removal, the present invention adopts a form of continuously cooling and circulating liquid catalyst. The liquid catalyst heated by the reaction is cooled by a liquid catalyst circulation mechanism, so that the temperature in the reaction tower 1 is maintained within a certain temperature range to ensure the reaction efficiency.

First, they are recovered by the demister 13 at the top of the reaction tower 1 and refluxed. Secondly, the catalyst that is not removed enters the condenser 2 with the reaction gas, condenses into large droplets when it is cold, and refluxes to the liquid storage part 23 through the pipeline.

This is specifically achieved by controlling the reflux rate of the liquid catalyst. When the temperature is high, the regulating valve 3 is controlled to open wider. By increasing the reflux rate, the temperature in the reaction tower can be maintained within a specific reaction temperature range.

[0059] A pressure transmitter 14, used to display the pressure in the lower part and the upper part of the reaction tower 1;

[0068] The gas-liquid phase vinyl chloride production process comprises the following steps:

[0069] 1) adding the liquid catalyst in the catalyst storage tank 6 into the reaction tower 1 through the circulation pump 5, and then closing the inlet and outlet of the catalyst storage tank 6, so that the liquid catalyst forms a circulation system with the help of the circulation pump 5;

[0076] When the liquid catalyst enters the lower packing 10 from top to bottom, it needs to be redistributed through the upper liquid distributor 12 and the lower liquid distributor 12 to make the liquid distribution more uniform.

[0077] When the liquid catalyst falls to the bottom of the reaction tower 1, the reaction heat will increase the temperature of the liquid catalyst, which is transported by the circulation pump 5 and cooled to 100-110°C by the heat exchanger 4.
