Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of salt lake chemical industry, in particular to a device and a method for producing a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent by using a granular copper-nickel catalyst. Background Art
[0002] Dodecylmorpholine has been industrialized and applied as a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent. At present, the production method of dodecylmorpholine is: catalytic synthesis of dodecanol and morpholine in a single step with a catalyst. There are no by-products and the process is simple. At present, a production scale of 1,000 tons / year has been established. However, this method has certain disadvantages. The catalyst used in the current industrial production of dodecylmorpholine is a powdered copper-nickel loaded catalyst. The copper and nickel are easy to fall off and the catalyst has poor stability. After the reaction to synthesize dodecylmorpholine, the product and the catalyst are difficult to separate, resulting in various problems: (1) the powder catalyst is difficult to recycle, (2) the powder catalyst is poor in the number of times and efficiency of reuse; (3) the hydrogen distributor and pipeline are blocked; the finished reagent (oily) is entrained with powder catalyst and the copper and nickel contents are as high as 190ppm and 100ppm; (4) the finished reagent (oily) is entrained with powder catalyst and the copper and nickel contents are as high as 190ppm and 100ppm. Although targeted measures have been taken, such as adding sedimentation aids, increasing the number of sedimentation tanks and extending the time, it is difficult to eliminate the problem fundamentally, which seriously affects the production efficiency of enterprises, pollutes downstream products and salt fields, and has adverse effects on the environment.
[0003] The use of powdered copper-nickel catalysts in the production of dodecylmorpholine after granulation has been a research focus in recent years. However, the currently available granular copper-nickel supported catalysts exhibit low conversion rates in the production of dodecylmorpholine, failing to meet industry requirements. Analysis revealed that this is due, in part, to the inadequacy of existing production equipment and processes, and in part, to the reduction in catalytic activity caused by the addition of auxiliary materials during the granulation process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention proposes an apparatus and method for producing a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent using a granular copper-nickel catalyst. First, an auxiliary material more suitable for granulating the copper-nickel catalyst was developed. Furthermore, a dedicated apparatus for synthesizing dodecylmorpholine using the granular copper-nickel catalyst was developed. This improves the conversion rate of the dodecylmorpholine synthesis reaction and increases the catalyst's reusability.
[0005] The present invention provides an apparatus for producing a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent by using a granular copper-nickel catalyst. The apparatus comprises the following structure: a connecting plate at the upper end of a reactor is connected to a flange via bolts; a motor is connected to a stirring shaft; the stirring shaft passes through the center of the flange and extends into the reactor; the stirring shaft is connected to an upper stirring paddle and is connected to a stirring basket.
[0006] The upper stirring paddle is a downward pressure stirring paddle. When the reaction liquid reaches the height of the upper stirring paddle, the upper stirring paddle can realize downward pressure stirring of the reaction liquid, so that the reaction liquid is fully in contact with the granular catalyst.
[0007] The flange is also provided with pipe openings A, pipe openings B, and pipe openings C. The upper end of pipe opening A is connected to the two-port connecting pipe A through an adapter, and the upper end of pipe opening B is connected to the arc-shaped opening of the two-port connecting pipe B through an adapter; the lower end of pipe opening A is connected to the air guide pipe, which extends to the bottom of the mixing basket and has a circular lower end. A plurality of air guide holes are provided below the circular part of the lower end of the air guide pipe.
[0008] The two-port connecting tube A has an arc-shaped upper end as a liquid adding port connected to a morpholine adding device, and a straight upper end as a gas adding port connected to a hydrogen supply pipe.
[0009] The gas outlet at the upper end of the two-port connecting pipe B is connected to the reflux device, and the straight port at the upper end is a liquid collection port. It is connected to a liquid collection container to achieve the recovery and recycling of morpholine.
[0010] A sealing gasket is provided between the connecting plate and the flange plate and is made of asbestos rubber sheet.
[0011] The outside of the reactor is provided with a constant temperature heating jacket.
[0012] The mixing basket is single-layered, uncovered, and reinforced with fixing bars on both the top and bottom surfaces. The central axis hole in the mixing basket is circular, and a lower stirring paddle is located below the stirring shaft. The lower stirring paddle is located between the mixing basket and the circular portion at the lower end of the air guide tube. The vertical portion of the air guide tube passes through the edge of the mixing basket. The lower stirring paddle is an upward-turning stirring paddle.
[0013] The mixing basket is configured with three to five removably connected layers. The top layer has a cover and a centrally located square shaft hole. The lower portion of the mixing shaft is configured as a square column. Three to five sets of curved baffles are installed on the sidewalls opposite the mixing basket, with the vertical portion of the air duct located between the curved baffles. The curved baffles disrupt the laminar flow of the liquid, increase turbulence, and improve the efficiency of solid-liquid-gas mixing.
[0014] The mixing basket and cover are both made of stainless steel mesh, and the edges are reinforced with stainless steel plates; or both are made of stainless steel plates with holes; A method for producing a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent using a granular copper-nickel catalyst comprises the following steps: Step 1: prepare a granular catalyst. Weigh a certain amount of binder powder, add the prepared acid solution dropwise thereto, stir while adding, prepare it into a paste, let it stand for 4-8 hours, then add the powdered catalyst, mix it thoroughly with a kneader, extrude it into strips on an extruder, cut it into a length of 1-2 mm, and then program the temperature to dry and calcine it to 500°C, calcine it for 2 hours, and obtain a granular catalyst.
[0015] Table 1 Calcination temperature program of particle catalyst stage Heating section ℃ Heating time min Retention temperature ℃ Residence time min 1 20-100 30 100 2 2 100-200 30 200 2 3 200-300 30 300 2 4 300-400 30 400 2 5 400-500 60 500 120 Step 2: Weigh a certain amount of dodecanol and add it to the reactor. Place the prepared granular catalyst into a stirring basket and immerse it in the dodecanol. Slowly heat the constant temperature heating jacket and start stirring. At the same time, nitrogen is passed through the air duct to replace the air. The stirring speed is 100-300 r / min. After heating to 150°C, start to switch to hydrogen flow at a fixed hydrogen flow rate and continue heating. Step 3: After heating to 200 ° C and maintaining stability, hydrogen is passed for 2 hours, and then morpholine is added dropwise under the condition of continuous hydrogen passing. The morpholine addition rate is controlled. After the morpholine is added dropwise into the reactor, it is vaporized and enters the reaction system under the influence of the hydrogen flow. The temperature is maintained constant. After the addition of morpholine is completed, the hydrogen is continued to be stirred for 15 minutes; Step 4: Turn off heating, stirring and hydrogen, wait until the temperature drops to room temperature, open the device, take out the product, and perform gas chromatography analysis on its content.
[0016] The acid solution is a 15% nitric acid solution, and the amount added is 30% of the total feed weight.
[0017] The binder is macroporous pseudo-boehmite, and the mass ratio of macroporous pseudo-boehmite to powdered catalyst is 1:1 or 3:2.
[0018] The shape of the granular catalyst is round, hollow cylindrical, or clover-shaped; the particle size of the granular catalyst is 1 mm to 3 mm.
[0019] The ratio of dodecanol to granular catalyst is 13-15:50, and the molar ratio of dodecanol to morpholine is 1:1.1. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the equipment for producing dodecylmorpholine provided by the present invention is designed according to the characteristics of a granular catalyst, adopts a stirring basket, and uses a hydrogen flow to introduce morpholine gas, so that hydrogen and morpholine gas can fully contact and react with the granular catalyst; and a combination of upward stirring and downward stirring is adopted, so that when gas emerges, the gas can be effectively delivered to the bottom of the catalyst net, which is conducive to the gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction.
[0020] The present invention is based on the powder catalyst, by adding macroporous pseudo-boehmite and acid solution, the powder catalyst is prepared into granules, the longitudinal strength is greater than 35MPa, the specific surface area reaches 150m 2 / g, with a breakage rate of less than 3%. The granular catalyst produced by this process, combined with the dedicated production equipment provided by the present invention, has good activity and stability, and can achieve technical results equivalent to those of powdered catalysts. The target product content is above 85%, with a maximum content of 93.07%. The product is dark red and transparent with minimal shedding. The copper / nickel content in the product is below 10 ppm, significantly reducing the risk to salt field brine and resolving the difficult separation of flotation agents and catalysts that has plagued companies for many years.
[0021] The method of the present invention is used to prepare a potassium chloride reverse flotation agent. Although a granulation process is added and the production cost of the catalyst is slightly increased, the catalyst prepared by the method has excellent stability and can be recycled 10-13 times, thereby greatly reducing the total amount of catalyst used and reducing the overall production cost. The method also solves the problem of blockage of a hydrogen distributor and a pipeline, greatly improves production efficiency, and can further reduce labor operating costs in the later stage. At the same time, the copper and nickel contents in the synthesized agent are both less than 10 ppm, which has obvious environmental benefits and is of great significance to the protection of salt fields and the sustainable development and utilization of salt lake resources.
