Abstract
Description
Technical Background
[0001] This invention application relates to a production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene, belonging to the field of dichlorobutene generation process. Background Technology
[0002] Dichlorobutene is a fundamental monomer in the butadiene-based production of chloroprene rubber and a valuable intermediate in certain pharmaceutical and important polyamide synthesis processes. Traditional dichlorobutene synthesis uses a gas-phase chlorination reactor, a method that has been industrialized for many years. However, due to the high reaction temperature and pressure, and the need to recycle large quantities of butadiene, it is not only energy-intensive but also poses certain safety hazards. Liquid-phase chlorination synthesis of dichlorobutene involves a large amount of solvent, and the equipment required to remove the solvent from low-boiling-point, dichlorobutene, and high-boiling-point substances in a distillation column requires substantial investment, making it unattractive for industrial application. Photochlorination reactors offer cleaner operation and higher yields, making them more suitable for industrial production. Chlorination is a strongly exothermic process, and poor mixing, mass transfer, and heat transfer in the reactor result in low reaction efficiency. Furthermore, photochlorination reactions also require consideration of light utilization efficiency and heat dissipation from the light source. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention application is to provide a production device for the photochlorination of butadiene to dichlorobutene that has good heat transfer effect, short chlorination cycle, fewer equipment sets, large capacity, and long service life, so as to be more suitable for industrial production needs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this invention application is as follows: a production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene, comprising a chlorination reactor, a jacket fixedly installed on the outside of the chlorination reactor, a cooling medium entering the jacket from the bottom right side inlet 1 and exiting from the top right side outlet 1 to cool the outer wall of the chlorination reactor, thereby removing the heat of the chlorination reaction; a circulation pipe 1 fixedly connected to the upper left side of the chlorination reactor, the outlet of the circulation pipe 1 connected to the inlet of a cooling device, a cooling pipe 2 symmetrically distributed at equal intervals inside the cooling device, a cooling medium entering the cooling device from the second inlet 2 and exiting from the second outlet, the outlet of the cooling device connected to the second circulation pipe, a circulation pump installed on the second circulation pipe, the circulation pump transporting the reaction medium solution inside the chlorination reactor through the first circulation pipe to the cooling device for heat exchange with the cooling medium, and then transporting it back to the chlorination reactor through the second circulation pipe, to further reduce the temperature of the solution inside the chlorination reactor, and also to ensure sufficient contact between the materials inside the chlorination reactor, thereby not only increasing the reaction rate but also improving the chlorination reaction conversion. The chlorination reactor has a discharge port fixedly connected to its bottom; a microporous gas distributor is fixedly connected to its bottom; a lid is fixedly connected to its top, and a pressure relief valve, a feed port, and a pressure sensor are sequentially fixed to the left side of the lid; a drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the lid, and a stirrer is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor, with the stirrer located inside the reactor; the reactor also has a double-layer coil inside, with the outer layer of the coil made of a material that can transmit the peak spectrum of LEDs, and LEDs fixedly connected between the inner and outer layers of the coil. The LEDs provide energy for the chlorination reaction through the outer layer. Due to the design of the coil, the illumination area is increased, and the light source is located inside the reactor, reducing light intensity loss and effectively improving the chlorination reaction rate; the space enclosed by the inner layer is equipped with a cooling medium channel, with the cooling medium inlet three and outlet three both connected to the lid. The cooling medium enters the cooling medium channel through inlet three, carries away the heat dissipation of the LEDs, and flows out through outlet three, maintaining the working environment of the LEDs within a certain range and effectively extending the lifespan of the LEDs.
[0005] This invention provides a production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0006] 1. This production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene utilizes a jacket installed outside the reactor. Simultaneously, a circulating pump transports the solution from the reactor to a cooling device via a circulation pipe, exchanging heat with the cooling medium. This increases the contact area between the material and the cooling medium, improving the cooling efficiency of the solution within the reactor and making the chlorination reaction more efficient. This reduces the number of chlorination equipment units required.
[0007] 2. The production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene is equipped with a microporous gas distributor at the bottom of the reactor. At the same time, the self-priming agitator generates negative pressure when rotating in the liquid, which allows the gas and liquid phases to contact better and improves the conversion rate of the chlorination reaction.
[0008] 3. The production apparatus for preparing dichlorobutene from photochlorinated butadiene places the light source inside the reaction vessel to reduce light intensity loss. The use of a coil increases the illumination area and effectively improves the chlorination reaction rate. At the same time, the coil is circulated with a condensing medium, which can promptly remove the heat dissipated by the light emission and reaction, thus extending the service life of the light-emitting device.
