Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a preparation process of a chemical material, in particular to a preparation process of fluoroethylene carbonate. Background Art

[0002] Fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) is an important fine chemical material, mainly used as a film-forming additive and explosion-proof solvent for lithium battery electrolytes. After adding fluoroethylene carbonate to the electrolyte, a solid electrolyte interface (SE I film) with excellent performance can be formed on the electrode. The film has a tight structure, which can reduce the impedance of the battery and effectively inhibit the decomposition of part of the electrolyte, thereby improving the specific capacity of the battery and increasing the safety and life of the battery.

[0003] In the preparation process of fluoroethylene carbonate, it is necessary to utilize ethylene carbonate (liquid) and fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas (fluorine gas 20%, nitrogen 80%) to carry out substitution reaction to produce fluoroethylene carbonate. The main reaction occurring in the reactor is: C3H4O3+F2(fluorine gas 20%, nitrogen 80%)→C3H3FO3+HF, and at the same time, it is also accompanied by the carrying out of side reaction, and the side reaction formula is: C3H3FO3+2F2(fluorine gas 20%, nitrogen 80%)→C3H2F2O3+2HF, it can be seen that, in its reaction process, it is related to the introduction of fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and the generation of by-product impurity hydrogen fluoride, and a large amount of fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas needs to be utilized in the process of ethylene carbonate and fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas mixing, and, in the synthesis reaction of fluoroethylene carbonate and the deacidification process, a large amount of HF tail gas will be produced, and HF tail gas will not only be lost in a large amount, but also need higher processing cost, so the use of fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and the loss of HF tail gas are always the reasons for high cost in the production process.

[0004] Therefore, this case aims to provide a preparation process for fluoroethylene carbonate, which can greatly improve the fluorine gas conversion rate, realize the reaction conversion of fluorine gas in a closed loop, overcome the instability of the discharge components of the traditional intermittent method, realize the continuous addition of raw materials, and continuously discharge the reaction materials. The reaction discharge components are stable and very uniform. Summary of the invention

[0026] The mixed gas guiding structure comprises an air guide pipe whose top is slidably arranged inside the first fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas inlet pipe, a gas delivery plate is arranged at the bottom of the air guide pipe, a plurality of gas delivery holes are opened at the bottom of the gas delivery plate, the outer side of the gas delivery plate is movably mounted on a fixed frame, and the height of the gas delivery plate is increased as the liquid level of the first reaction tank body rises;

After ethylene carbonate is injected into the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet end, the height of the liquid guide tube and the liquid storage coil rises and approaches the proximity sensor, so that the one-way inlet and outlet parts are opened and the ethylene carbonate is output to collide and mix with the descending fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas at the position of the gas transmission plate.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0033] In the existing reaction generation equipment for fluoroethylene carbonate, how to make the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate fully cooperate and react has become a pain point in the industry. If the two cannot fully react, the purity of the generated fluoroethylene carbonate cannot be guaranteed at all. Although fluoroethylene carbonate can be obtained, its purity and the chromaticity of the reaction materials cannot be guaranteed at all, which does not meet the industry standards. Therefore, the present invention adds a second reaction tank body and a third reaction tank body to the existing reaction equipment through a newly added three-stage reaction component in the whole reaction process. The fluoroethylene carbonate that has undergone a single reaction is then sequentially introduced into the second reaction tank body and the third reaction tank body and mixed with the newly added quantitative fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas again, thereby being able to fully guarantee the mixing effect of the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate. The purity of the fluoroethylene carbonate after the three-stage reaction is continuously improved, and its own chromaticity becomes more and more transparent. At the same time, the continuous addition of raw materials, the continuous discharge of reaction materials, and the stable reaction discharge components are achieved.

[0034] During the reaction of the three-stage reaction component, the tail gas of each reactor is discharged from the top of the reactor. In order to make full use of the effective components in the tail gas, reduce energy consumption and achieve a high conversion rate of fluorine gas, the reaction tail gas of each reactor is combined and absorbed by a three-stage ethylene carbonate pre-reactor unit in series to form a closed-loop high-conversion reaction system, and realize the fluorine gas direct synthesis FEC technology system with automatic quantitative feeding and precise control of the reaction endpoint. The tail gas treated by the three-stage ethylene carbonate pre-reactor unit in series is then subjected to two-stage water washing and one-stage alkali washing to neutralize the unreacted by-product hydrofluoric acid, ensuring clean, environmentally friendly and safe production.

[0035] Through the three-stage reaction components and the ethylene carbonate pre-reaction unit connected in series, the materials are continuously supplied to the system during the reaction. The residence time of the materials in the reactor can be controlled by controlling the supply flow rate, so that the main reaction is high and the side reaction is low, thereby increasing the proportion of fluoroethylene carbonate in the generated products and reducing the proportion of difluoroethylene carbonate, thereby reducing the processing pressure of the later distillation.

[0036] In the process of product deacidification, if traditional processes are adopted, for example, evaporation deacidification, falling film evaporation deacidification and other processes, not only energy consumption is high, but also operation is complicated, therefore the present invention introduces heated dry nitrogen or dry air into the deacidification kettle for purging, and the flow of nitrogen or air takes out HF, and finally HF drops to a certain amount. The HF gas blown out is incorporated into the tail gas system and can be removed from the deacidification tail gas absorption tower for absorption and recovery of HF to produce hydrofluoric acid, and the gas flow engineering will also carry a trace of fluoroethylene carbonate liquid, which is separated and recovered through a separation device, and the method has a short flow, is easy to operate, and has low energy consumption, and solves the problem of adding new impurities into the traditional deacidification system by organic extraction, and if new impurities are brought in, the introduction of new impurities will increase the difficulty of subsequent distillation and purification, and a large amount of organic waste water will be generated at the same time, resulting in great difficulty in wastewater treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the embodiments of the present invention, all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as referring to the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the methods. To be more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0048] In this embodiment, ethylene carbonate liquid and fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas (20% fluorine gas, 80% nitrogen) undergo substitution reaction to produce fluoroethylene carbonate, and the reaction formula is: C3H4O3+F2→C3H3FO3+HF. Theoretically, the production of 1 ton of fluoroethylene carbonate requires 0.83 tons of ethylene carbonate and 0.36 tons of fluorine gas, and 0.19 tons of by-product impurity hydrogen fluoride is generated.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, a process for preparing fluoroethylene carbonate comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1: connecting the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet 20 to the three-stage series reaction mechanism, and the three-stage series reaction mechanism is connected to the hydrogen fluoride recovery pipe 40 and the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution station 55 respectively.

[0051] S2: Ethylene carbonate is introduced into the three-stage series reaction mechanism, and the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas is introduced into the three-stage series reaction mechanism through the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution table 55 and the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas inlet pipe 30, and the generated material flows out to the semi-finished product receiving tank, and the generated HF tail gas flows into the hydrogen fluoride recovery pipe 40;

[0052] The S2 specifically includes:

[0053] S21: Ethylene carbonate is introduced into the first reaction tank 10 to undergo a primary substitution reaction with the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas input from the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution station 55;

[0054] S22: the material after the reaction in the first reaction tank 10 flows into the second reaction tank 51 by gravity and undergoes a secondary substitution reaction with the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas input from the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution station 55;

[0055] S23: the material after the reaction in the second reaction tank body 51 flows into the third reaction tank body 52 to undergo a three-level substitution reaction with the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas input from the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution station 55, and the generated material flows from the third reaction tank body 52 into the semi-finished product receiving tank.

[0056] In the existing reaction generation equipment for fluoroethylene carbonate, how to make the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate fully cooperate and react has become a pain point in the industry. If the two cannot fully react, the purity of the generated fluoroethylene carbonate cannot be guaranteed at all. Although fluoroethylene carbonate can be obtained, its purity and the chromaticity of the reaction materials cannot be guaranteed at all, which does not meet the industry standards. Therefore, the present invention adds a second reaction tank body and a third reaction tank body to the existing reaction equipment through a newly added three-stage reaction component in the whole reaction process. The fluoroethylene carbonate that has undergone a single reaction is then sequentially introduced into the second reaction tank body and the third reaction tank body and mixed with the newly added quantitative fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas again, thereby being able to fully guarantee the mixing effect of the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate. The purity of the fluoroethylene carbonate after the three-stage reaction is continuously improved, and its own chromaticity becomes more and more transparent. At the same time, the continuous addition of raw materials, the continuous discharge of reaction materials, and the stable reaction discharge components are achieved.

[0057] S3: The semi-finished product receiving tank is heated with hot water, and the material is pumped into a deacidification kettle, the deacidification kettle is heated, heated dry gas is introduced for purging, and the generated HF tail gas is blown into the hydrogen fluoride recovery pipe 40;

[0058] In the process of product deacidification, if a conventional process is adopted, for example, evaporation deacidification, falling film evaporation deacidification and the like, not only the energy consumption is high, but also the operation is complicated. Since the boiling point of HF is 19.5° C., in this embodiment, the fluorination reaction mixture (85% is fluoroethylene carbonate, 4% is unreacted ethylene carbonate, 1% is by-product difluoroethylene carbonate, and 10% is by-product HF) is heated to 50-60° C., that is, the temperature of the deacidification kettle is 50-60° C., and heated dry nitrogen or dry air is introduced into the deacidification kettle for purging, and the flow of nitrogen or air takes out HF, and finally the HF is reduced to a certain amount. The blown HF gas is incorporated into the tail gas system and can be taken to the deacidification tail gas absorption tower for absorption and recovery of HF to produce hydrofluoric acid. The gas flow project will also carry a trace amount of fluoroethylene carbonate liquid, which is separated and recovered through a separation device. This method has a short process, is easy to operate, and has low energy consumption. It solves the problem of new impurities introduced into the traditional deacidification system by adding organic matter extraction. If new impurities are introduced, the introduction of new impurities will increase the difficulty of subsequent distillation and purification, and a large amount of organic wastewater will be generated, making wastewater treatment difficult.

[0059] S4: The deacidified material is subjected to three-stage distillation using the different boiling points of the components to obtain the final product;

[0060] Among them, the boiling point of HF is 19.5°C, the boiling point of ethylene carbonate is 248°C, the boiling point of fluoroethylene carbonate is 212°C, and the boiling point of difluoroethylene carbonate is about 260°C. Therefore, during distillation, the S4 specifically includes:

[0061] S41: the deacidified material is continuously pumped into a primary low-boiling distillation tower to separate the light component impurities from the top of the tower and purify the bottom material;

[0062] S42: pumping the bottom material of the first low-boiling distillation tower into the second low-boiling distillation tower to separate the light component impurities again;

[0063] S43: The bottom material of the secondary low-boiling distillation tower is pumped into a high-boiling distillation tower to separate the heavy component impurities, and finally the final product is taken out from the top of the high-boiling tower. The final product is fluoroethylene carbonate.

[0064] S5: The HF tail gas flowing in through the hydrogen fluoride recovery pipe 40 is merged and introduced into the three-stage ethylene carbonate pre-reaction unit in series, and the storage tank storing ethylene carbonate is connected to the ethylene carbonate pre-reaction unit to pre-react with the introduced tail gas HF, and the pre-reacted ethylene carbonate is connected to the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet 20 to react with the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas;

[0065] The ethylene carbonate pre-reactor unit comprises a third pre-reactor A1, a second pre-reactor A2 and a first pre-reactor A3. The combined HF tail gas flows to the second pre-reactor A2 and then to the first pre-reactor A3 through the third pre-reactor A1, and finally flows to the tail gas treatment device through the first pre-reactor A3. The storage tank for storing ethylene carbonate flows into the first pre-reactor A3, the second pre-reactor A2 and the third pre-reactor A1 in sequence to pre-react with the HF tail gas. During the reaction of the three-stage reaction component, the tail gas generated in each reactor is discharged from the top of the reactor. In order to make full use of the effective components in the tail gas, reduce energy consumption and achieve a high conversion rate of fluorine gas, the reaction tail gas of each reactor is combined and absorbed by the three-stage ethylene carbonate pre-reactor unit connected in series to form a closed-loop high-conversion reaction system, and realize the fluorine gas direct synthesis FEC technical system with automatic quantitative feeding and precise control of the reaction end point.

[0066] S6: The tail gas discharged from the ethylene carbonate pre-reaction unit is treated by the tail gas treatment device and then discharged into the atmosphere.

[0067] The tail gas treated by the three-stage ethylene carbonate pre-reactor unit is then subjected to two-stage water washing and one-stage alkali washing to neutralize the unreacted by-product hydrofluoric acid, ensuring clean, environmentally friendly and safe production. The tail gas treatment device is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] A first output pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the first reaction tank body 10, and the three-stage reaction assembly includes a second reaction tank body 51 connected to the first output pipe 11, and a third reaction tank body 52 is connected to the side of the second reaction tank body 51 away from the first reaction tank body 10 through a second output pipe 12, and the second reaction tank body 51 and the third reaction tank body 52 are respectively communicated with a fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution table 55 through a second fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas intake pipe 53 and a third fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas intake pipe 54, and the second reaction tank body 51 and the third reaction tank body 52 are both connected to a hydrogen fluoride recovery pipe 40; the mixed gas guide structure 60 includes an air guide pipe 61 whose top is slidably arranged on the inner side of the first fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas intake pipe 30, and a gas delivery plate 62 is arranged at the bottom of the air guide pipe 61, and a plurality of gas delivery holes 63 are opened at the bottom of the gas delivery plate 62, and the outer side of the gas delivery plate 62 is movably mounted to a fixed On the fixed frame 64, the gas delivery disc 62 is raised in height as the liquid level of the first reaction tank body 10 rises; a top liquid pumping structure 70, a guide frame 13 is arranged on the inner side of the first reaction tank body 10, and the top liquid pumping structure 70 includes a liquid guide tube 71 whose bottom is slidably arranged on the inner side of the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet end 20, and a liquid storage coil 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid guide tube 71, and the outer side of the liquid storage coil 72 is attached to the guide frame 13, and a plurality of one-way inlet and outlet parts 73 are arranged on the top edge of the liquid storage coil 72, and an anti-corrosion proximity sensor 74 is arranged on the fixed frame 64. After ethylene carbonate is injected into the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet end 20, the heights of the liquid guide tube 71 and the liquid storage coil 72 rise and approach the proximity sensor 74, so that the one-way inlet and outlet part 73 opens and outputs ethylene carbonate to collide and mix with the descending fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas at the position of the gas delivery disc 62.

[0069] Interlayers are arranged on the outside of the first reaction tank body 10, the second reaction tank body 51 and the third reaction tank body 52 for cold or hot treatment of the reaction tank bodies, wherein the circulation method of the refrigerant or the hot medium is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] During the entire reaction process, the ethylene carbonate inlet 20 and the fluoroethylene carbonate outlet are both arranged at the lower end of the reaction tank, while the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas inlet and the hydrogen fluoride recovery are both arranged at the upper end of the reaction tank.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mixed gas guiding structure 60 and the top liquid pumping structure 70 are only arranged in the first reaction tank body 10, and the mixing of the two raw materials is only promoted in the first reaction tank body 10. The mixed gas guiding structure 60 and the top liquid pumping structure 70 may not be arranged in the subsequent second reaction tank body 51 and the third reaction tank body 52.

[0072] In the existing reaction generation equipment for fluoroethylene carbonate, how to make the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate fully cooperate and react has become a pain point in the industry. If the two cannot fully react, the purity of the generated fluoroethylene carbonate cannot be guaranteed at all. Although fluoroethylene carbonate can be obtained, its purity and the chromaticity of the reaction materials cannot be guaranteed at all, which does not meet the industry standards. Therefore, the present invention adds a second reaction tank body 51 and a third reaction tank body 52 to the existing reaction equipment through a newly added three-stage reaction component in the whole reaction process. The fluoroethylene carbonate that has undergone a single reaction is then sequentially introduced into the second reaction tank body 51 and the third reaction tank body 52 and mixed with the newly added quantitative fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas again, so that the mixing effect of the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas and ethylene carbonate can be fully guaranteed. The purity of the fluoroethylene carbonate after the three-stage reaction is continuously improved, and its own chromaticity becomes more and more transparent. At the same time, the continuous addition of raw materials, the continuous discharge of reaction materials, and the stable reaction discharge components are achieved.

[0073] During the entire three-stage series reaction, since the purity of fluoroethylene carbonate in different reaction tanks is different, the demand for the required fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas is also different. Therefore, the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution table 55 of this embodiment is respectively provided with a plurality of gas outlet valves 551 corresponding to the first reaction tank 10, the second reaction tank 51, and the third reaction tank 52. The openings of different gas outlet valves 551 are different. By performing different opening management on the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas distribution table 55 for the gas outlet valves 551 of the first reaction tank 10, the second reaction tank 51, and the third reaction tank 52, different amounts of fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas are output at different links, thereby improving the control of the purity of fluoroethylene carbonate.

[0074] During the process of adding the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas into the reaction tank, since the by-product hydrogen fluoride is generated during the entire reaction, part of the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas will be lost. Therefore, the present invention adds a mixed gas conduction structure 60 on the basis of the three-stage reaction component, so that the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas can be directly discharged through the downwardly extending gas transmission plate 62 when the material is discharged. The outlet position is stretched to the liquid surface of ethylene carbonate or inside the liquid to fully react with ethylene carbonate. When hydrogen fluoride overflows, only a small amount of the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas is carried away, which not only improves the overall reaction uniformity, but also reduces the loss of raw materials, further reducing the cost of the enterprise.

[0075] The depth of the air guide pipe 61 in the first fluorine-nitrogen mixture gas intake pipe 30 will change with the change of the liquid level. In order to make the two more compatible, the wrapping tube 65 of the present embodiment is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The wrapping tube 65 includes a first wrapping portion 651 that is tightly attached to the outside of the first fluorine-nitrogen mixture gas intake pipe 30. The lower end of the first wrapping portion 651 is connected to a second wrapping portion 652 that is attached to the outside of the air guide pipe 61. By arranging the wrapping tube 65 between the air guide pipe 61 and the first fluorine-nitrogen mixture gas intake pipe 30, the wrapping tube 65 fixed on the first fluorine-nitrogen mixture gas intake pipe 30 can play a certain auxiliary limiting effect on the air guide pipe 61, so that it can be smoother in the process of up and down displacement, and avoid the phenomenon of it being stuck in the first fluorine-nitrogen mixture gas intake pipe 30.

[0076] In fact, if the entire mixed gas guiding structure 60 is only supported and fixed by the wrapping tube 65 and the air guide pipe 61, the stability of the mixed gas guiding structure 60 cannot be guaranteed when the liquid level is low. Therefore, the gas delivery plate 62 of this embodiment is connected to the fixed frame 64 through a movable frame 66. The movable frame 66 includes a first hinge 661 arranged on the fixed frame 64. A telescopic guide rod 662 is arranged on the side of the first hinge 661 away from the fixed frame 64. The end of the telescopic guide rod 662 is connected to a second hinge 663. The second hinge 663 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the gas delivery plate 62. The mixed gas guiding structure 60 can be hung by the movable frame 66 when the liquid level is low, and deformed accordingly when the liquid level is high, so as to adapt to the constantly changing liquid level. Specifically, the direction of the gas delivery plate 62 is changed by hinged ends and retractable middle part, so that the gas delivery plate 62 can achieve stable up and down position change.

[0077] Compared with the gas delivery disc 62 which changes position frequently, the position of the fixing frame 64 is unchanged. However, in order to facilitate the circulation of by-products and increase the contact area, the entire fixing frame 64 needs to be set to be transparent. Therefore, in this embodiment, the fixing frame 64 includes an outer mounting ring 641 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first reaction tank body 10. A π-shaped frame 642 is extended inward from the inner side of the outer mounting ring 641. The second hinge 663 is locked to the π-shaped frame 642. The π-shaped frame 642 is mostly a hollow structure, and only one lateral end thereof is in contact with the gas delivery disc 62, so that there is sufficient space for gas passing and mixing.

[0078] After the mixed gas conducting structure 60 realizes gas discharge from the liquid surface, if the liquid surface of the reaction tank body increases in a normal manner, it is very easy to cause the ethylene carbonate at the bottom to be unable to fully contact with the fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas. If it relies on the flow of the solution itself and the penetration of the gas, it will take a long time to wait, which prolongs the cycle of the entire continuous reaction. Therefore, the present invention provides a top liquid pumping structure 70 based on the mixed gas conducting structure 60. When discharging the liquid, the ethylene carbonate will only be discharged through the one-way inlet and outlet piece 73 on the top. The output ethylene carbonate will then mix and react with the gas output from the gas delivery disk 62, so that the continuously input ethylene carbonate can fully contact with the continuously input fluorine-nitrogen mixed gas, thereby improving the mixing degree of the two and making the generated fluoroethylene carbonate more pure.

[0079] During the use of the top liquid pumping structure 70, the present embodiment sets the liquid guide tube 71 as an "I"-shaped structure. Specifically, the liquid guide tube 71 includes an upper fitting plate 711 that is tightly attached to the top of the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet end 20. The lower end of the upper fitting plate 711 is connected to an inner sliding cavity tube 712. The bottom of the inner sliding cavity tube 712 extends downward to be provided with a lower limit plate 713. The initial position of the lower limit plate 713 is spaced from the bottom edge of the ethylene carbonate liquid inlet end 20, so that the liquid inlet end 20 is continuously pressurized. When the liquid coil 72 moves upward due to being filled, it drives the lower limit plate 713 upward, causing the height of the entire liquid storage coil 72 to rise, so that the liquid storage coil 72 is close to the proximity sensor 74, causing the one-way inlet and outlet piece 73 to open to discharge liquid, and after the liquid is pumped out, the pressure decreases and then falls back, thereby continuously generating a pulse-like cycle. In the whole process, due to the continuous back and forth movement of the liquid storage coil 72, the ethylene carbonate or the generated fluoroethylene carbonate will be disturbed, thereby promoting the progress of the entire reaction.

[0080] Due to the corrosiveness of fluorine-containing substances, a liquid-isolating interlayer 721 is provided on the top of the liquid storage coil 72, and the one-way inlet and outlet member 73 includes a flip member 731 provided in the liquid-isolating interlayer 721, and the flip member 731 is connected to a flip valve plate 732, and the flip member 731 is electrically connected to the proximity sensor 74, so that the flip member 731, that is, the micro motor can be protected, and a separate anti-corrosion protection is performed at the position where the output end of the flip member 731 extends out to avoid damage.

[0081] During the reaction of the second reaction tank 51 and the third reaction tank 52, in order to avoid insufficient ethylene carbonate during the reaction, the lower ends of the second reaction tank 51 and the third reaction tank 52 are provided with ethylene carbonate replenishing ends 80, thereby ensuring the continuous progress of the entire reaction.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
