Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical reactor equipment, and particularly relates to an inner loop flow reactor. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the development of various chemical and environmental processes, researchers have attempted to introduce microbubble technology into various reaction vessels. By strengthening the interaction between the gas phase and the solid-liquid phase, the diffusion, reaction, and fragmentation effects are enhanced, thereby achieving the goal of improving the working efficiency of the reaction equipment. However, due to the differences in reaction vessels, the results achieved are inconsistent. For a type of reaction vessel with a solid-liquid phase introduced at the top and a gas source introduced at the bottom, microbubbles enter the reaction vessel along with the solid and liquid phases through a dissolved gas device. Once in the reaction vessel, they begin to release and float upward. This results in a short microbubble action time and a lack of significant improvement in the diffusion and mass transfer effect. As a result, the working efficiency of the reaction equipment has not been significantly improved. At present, improvements to reactor equipment still cannot meet the development of chemical processes.

[0003] For example, CN103769008A discloses a slurry bed internal circulation reactor, which adopts a segmented design of the draft tube and heat exchange tube and a gas distributor with a short tube nozzle plate structure to reduce the impact of gas on the descent of the slurry in the draft tube, control the stability of the bed temperature, and evenly distribute the synthesis gas to the reaction area. However, when used for slurries containing microbubbles, this reactor still cannot solve the problem of short action time caused by the floating of microbubbles, and its working efficiency is still limited. CN205146188U discloses an internal circulation fluidized bed reactor, which includes a shell, and the shell includes a three-phase separation section and a reaction section from top to bottom; also includes a three-phase separation component arranged in the three-phase separation section; a guide tube is arranged in the reaction section; a gas uniform distribution device is arranged below the lower opening of the guide tube, at least one material distributor is arranged in the guide tube and above the gas uniform distribution device, and a plurality of baffles are arranged on the outer wall of the upper opening of the guide tube; also includes a baffle arranged above the guide structure; also includes a plurality of gas separation tubes connected to the guide structure. However, this reactor is aimed at feeding both the liquid phase and the gas phase at the lower part of the reactor, and the device structure is complex and occupies a large area.

[0004] In response to the above situation, the utility model provides an internal loop reactor to improve the uniformity of airflow distribution in the reactor and the interaction effect between the gas phase and the liquid phase or the solid-liquid phase, thereby enhancing the reaction effect and improving the working efficiency of the reactor. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an internal circulation reactor. By designing the positions of the feed pipe and the air inlet pipe, as well as the number and position distribution of the sub-feed port and the sub-air inlet, the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material forms an internal circulation feeding mode inside the reactor in which the outside rises and the center descends, thereby extending the residence time of the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material inside the reactor, improving the interaction effect between the gas phase and the liquid phase or the solid-liquid mixed phase, and thus improving the efficiency of the physical and chemical reactions in the reactor.

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model provides an internal loop flow reactor, which comprises a reactor cylinder, an air inlet pipe arranged on one side close to the bottom of the reactor cylinder, and a feed pipe arranged on the upper part of the air inlet pipe;

[0008] The air inlet pipe comprises at least two air inlet pipes stacked up and down in a radial direction, the air inlet pipe comprising an annular pipe arranged outside the reactor cylinder and an air inlet arranged at any position around the annular pipe; the inner wall of the annular pipe extends circumferentially toward the interior of the reactor cylinder to form m evenly distributed sub-air inlets;

[0009] The feed pipe includes a feed port arranged on the outer wall of the reactor cylinder, and the feed port extends a first feed part into the interior of the reactor; a second feed part extends toward the bottom of the reactor cylinder from a side of the first feed part away from the feed port; n evenly distributed sub-feed pipes are extended circumferentially in the horizontal direction from a side of the second feed part close to the bottom of the reactor cylinder; a sub-feed port extends from the side of the sub-feed pipe away from the second feed part, and the opening of the sub-feed port is upward.

[0010] The air inlet pipe includes at least two air inlet pipes stacked up and down in a radial direction, for example, two, three, four, five or six air inlet pipes, etc. The direction of the sub-air inlet is perpendicular to the radial direction.

[0011] The internal circulation reactor described in the present invention is configured with at least two air inlet pipes radially stacked in upper and lower layers on one side near the bottom of the reactor barrel, so that the gas phase in the reactor is evenly distributed, and is equipped with a sub-feed port opening upward, so that the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material forms an internal circulation feeding mode in which the outside rises and the center descends in the reactor, thereby prolonging the residence time of the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase inside the reactor, allowing the gas phase and the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase to fully interact, thereby improving the reaction efficiency; especially for utilizing microbubbles to enhance the reaction between the gas phase and the liquid phase or the solid-liquid mixed phase, the sub-feed port opening upward suppresses the release of microbubbles from the liquid phase or the solid-liquid mixed phase material, prolongs the action time of the microbubbles, and thus improves the reaction effect.

[0012] The internal loop reactor provided by the utility model is suitable for various reactions that require the introduction of a gas phase into the lower part of the reactor and a liquid phase or a solid-liquid mixed phase into the upper part, and utilizes the gas phase to directly participate in or promote the diffusion of substances, such as extraction separation or flotation separation.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] This embodiment provides an internal loop reactor, wherein the height h3 of the sub-feed pipe from the bottom of the reactor cylinder accounts for 60% of the total height h of the reactor cylinder, and the rest is the same as that of embodiment 1.

[0063] Since the sub-feed pipe of the inner loop reactor described in this embodiment is located at the upper part of the reactor barrel, the outer rising distance is short, which shortens the residence time of the liquid or solid-liquid mixed phase material inside the reactor, resulting in low reaction efficiency.

[0064] Comparative Example 1

[0065] This comparative example provides a reactor, which is the same as Example 1 except that the sub-feed port is opened downward.

[0066] Since the reactor in this comparative example opens downward due to the sub-feed port, the feed cannot be fed from the outside and must be directly lowered, resulting in a shorter residence time of the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase in the reactor, thereby affecting the interaction between the gas phase and the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase materials in the reactor, resulting in a decrease in reaction efficiency.

[0067] Comparative Example 2

[0068] This comparative example provides a reactor which is the same as Example 1 except that the second air inlet pipe is not provided.

[0069] Since the reactor in this comparative example is not equipped with a second air inlet pipe, the overall gas phase distribution inside the reactor is uneven, with less gas phase distribution at the center. The material descending from the center cannot fully contact the gas phase and cannot fully interact with the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material, thereby resulting in a decrease in reaction efficiency.

[0070] In summary, the utility model provides an internal loop flow reactor, which can make the gas phase evenly distributed, and the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase is fed in an internal loop flow manner that first rises from the outside and then descends from the center, thereby extending the residence time of the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material in the reactor, improving the interaction effect between the gas phase and the liquid phase or solid-liquid mixed phase material inside the reactor, thereby improving the reaction efficiency of the physical and chemical reactions in the reactor.
