Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical equipment, in particular to a micro-channel reactor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The micro-reactor is also called micro-channel reactor, which is a general term for a series of micro-chemical equipment such as micro-reactor, micro-mixer, micro-heat exchanger, micro-controller, micro-extractor and micro-chemical analysis. The micro-reactor commonly referred to is a micro-reactor whose internal structure (such as flow channel) has a characteristic size of sub-micron to sub-millimeter, which is manufactured at least partially by micro-reaction technology or ultra-precision machining technology. Compared with conventional reaction equipment (such as reaction kettle, tubular reactor), the micro-reactor has much smaller characteristic size, which makes it have large specific surface area. With the decrease of size, the increase of some physical quantity gradient will accelerate, such as temperature gradient, pressure gradient, concentration gradient and density gradient, which is particularly important for chemical reaction. The increase of gradient will lead to the increase of mass transfer and heat transfer driving force, thereby expanding the diffusion flux per unit volume or unit area and strengthening the mass transfer and heat transfer process.
[0003] The Chinese patent document CN110813207A provides a continuous channel reactor for synthesis of acrylate resin, a polymerization reaction device and application. The mass transfer and heat exchanger of the reactor includes a plate body and a plurality of cavity units, and the cavity unit includes a cavity, a circular arc jet baffle, a turbulence column, a material inlet and a material outlet. However, the reactor is connected by a single cavity unit, and the mass transfer and heat transfer effect is limited, and the fluid is prone to stratification.
[0004] Nowadays, there are various micro-channel reactors with different design structures on the market, which have problems such as poor heat transfer effect, uneven mixing, low mixing efficiency, etc. In addition, there is a lack of a reactor that can change the flow channel structure according to the reaction type and material type.

[0008] Preferably, the reaction micro channel 3 includes several micro channel groups 7, each micro channel group 7 is composed of several mixed flow structures 8 and a steady flow structure 9.
[0009] Preferably, the mixed flow structure 8 is composed of arc inner wall 81 and baffle zone 82;Two adjacent mixed flow structures 8 are communicated by straight channel 10;The arc inner wall 81 is formed by the intersection of three circular arcs with radius R1, and the centers of the three circular arcs form the vertices of an equilateral triangle;The baffle zone 82 is composed of a split flow arc 821 and a baffle arc 822;The split flow arc 821 has the same center as the arc inner wall 81 and a radius r1, and the baffle arc 822 is tangent to two adjacent split flow arcs 821 and has a radius r2.

[0011] Preferably, the steady flow structure 9 has a radius R2 of 5-10 mm, and a plurality of flow blocking columns 91 are uniformly distributed in the steady flow structure 9, the radius r3 of the flow blocking column 91 is 0.1-0.5 times the radius R2 of the steady flow structure 9, and the number of the flow blocking columns 91 is 3-7;The steady flow structure 9 is communicated with the mixed flow structure 8 through the straight channel 10.
[0012] Preferably, the steady flow structure 9 of the first micro channel group 7 is communicated with the material inlet 21, and the tail mixed flow structure 8 of the last micro channel group 7 is communicated with the material outlet 22.
[0013] Preferably, in two adjacent micro channel groups 7, the tail mixed flow structure 8 of one micro channel group 7 is communicated with the steady flow structure 9 of the other micro channel group 7.

[0018] 2) When the material enters the mixing structure, it collides with the diversion arc of the baffle area, and the material is divided into two diversion arcs to the arc-shaped inner wall, then collides with the diversion arc and the arc-shaped inner wall in turn, and finally flows out at the outlet.

[0019] 3) When pumping the material to the material inlet, the material directly enters the mixing structure due to different pressures of different materials, which causes the fluid to be stratified, thereby leading to insufficient reaction.

The fluid after steady flow can fully play the mixing effect of the mixing structure, so that the reaction is more complete.
[0020] 4) The application sets the radius r1 of the internal arc-shaped baffle plate as 1.4-2 times the radius R1 of the arc-shaped structure, sets the internal circular arc radius r2 as 0.2-0.8 times the radius R1 of the arc-shaped structure, and sets the radius r3 of the flow blocking column as 0.1-0.5 times the radius R2 of the steady flow structure, so that the fluid can form a vortex when passing through the reaction micro-channel, and the vortex retention time is prolonged to the maximum extent, thereby obtaining excellent mixing effect.
[0021] 5) The application sequentially connects the steady flow structure and the mixing structure, which not only improves the mixing efficiency but also increases the capacity of the reactor; the steady flow structure and the mixing structure can select different design schemes according to the reaction type and the material type, thereby effectively increasing the adaptability and practicality of the micro-channel reactor.

Of course, the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and should not be considered as a limitation to the present application.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a kind of microchannel reactor, including reactor shell 1, the reactor shell 1 one side is equipped with several mutually connected material inlet 21, the other side is equipped with material outlet 22;The reactor shell 1 is equipped with reaction microchannel 3, the reaction microchannel 3 with the material inlet 21 and the material outlet 22 are communicated;Upper heat preservation plate 41 and lower heat preservation plate 42 are arranged on the reactor shell, the cavity 5 is formed between the upper heat preservation plate 41 and the lower heat preservation plate 42, and the reaction microchannel 3 is located in the cavity 5;Thermal medium inlet 61 is opened in the upper heat preservation plate 41 and communicated with the cavity 5, and thermal medium outlet 62 is opened in the lower heat preservation plate 42 and communicated with the cavity 5;Preferably, the material inlet is 2-3;Fluid is injected into the reaction microchannel through material inlet 21 respectively and is gathered to form mixed flow, and the mixed flow is guided out through material outlet 22 after repeated segmentation and mixing in reaction microchannel 3;Thermal medium is injected from thermal medium inlet 61, and flows out from thermal medium outlet 62 after heat exchange in reaction microchannel 3.
[0034] As a special structure of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The reaction microchannel 3 includes a plurality of microchannel groups 7, each microchannel group 7 is composed of a plurality of mixed flow structures 8 and a steady flow structure 9;The microchannel group is preferably 6-12, and the mixed flow structure in each microchannel group is preferably 8-12.
[0035] More specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The mixed flow structure 8 is composed of an arc-shaped inner wall 81 and a baffle zone 82;Two adjacent mixed flow structures 8 are communicated through a straight channel 10;The arc-shaped inner wall 81 is composed of three arcs with a radius R1, and the centers of the three arcs form the vertices of an equilateral triangle;The baffle zone 82 is composed of a shunt arc 821 and a baffle arc 822;The shunt arc 821 has the same center as the arc-shaped inner wall 81 and a radius r1, and the baffle arc 822 is tangent to two adjacent shunt arcs 821 and has a radius r2.
[0036] Wherein, the radius R1 of the arc-shaped inner wall 81 is 4-8 mm, and the central angle corresponding to the arc is 210°; the radius r1 of the flow-dividing arc 821 is preferably 0.2-0.8 times the radius R1 of the arc-shaped inner wall 81; the radius r2 of the flow-deflecting arc 822 is preferably 1.4-2 times the radius R1 of the arc-shaped inner wall 81; the microchannel reactor provided by the present invention is provided with a large number of arc-shaped structures, which reduces the mixing blind zone, increases the specific surface area of the reaction device, and significantly improves the thermal conductivity and heat exchange effect; when the fluid collides with the arc-shaped structure, it can fully form vortices and prolong the vortex holding time to the maximum extent, thereby obtaining an excellent mixing effect.
[0037] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the radius R2 of the flow stabilizing structure 9 is 5-10 mm, and a number of flow-blocking columns 91 are evenly distributed within the flow stabilizing structure 9. The radius r3 of the flow-blocking column 91 is preferably 0.1-0.5 times the radius R2 of the flow stabilizing structure, and the number of flow-blocking columns 91 is preferably 3-7. The flow stabilizing structure 9 and the mixing structure 8 are connected through a straight channel 10. The present invention utilizes the flow-blocking columns 91 in the flow stabilizing structure 9 to reduce the material flow rate, making the material flow more stable and uniform. The fluid after flow stabilization can fully utilize the mixing effect of the mixing structure 8 when it enters the mixing structure 8, making the reaction more complete.
[0038] Furthermore, the flow stabilizing structure 9 of the first microchannel group 7 is connected to the material inlet 21; the tail mixing structure 8 of the last microchannel group 7 is connected to the material outlet 22; in two adjacent microchannel groups 7, the tail mixing structure 8 of one microchannel group 7 is connected to the flow stabilizing structure 9 of the other microchannel group 7; the microchannel groups 7 are arranged axially symmetrically; the material enters the flow stabilizing structure 9 through the material inlet 21, then passes through several mixing structures 8, and is connected to the flow stabilizing structure 9 of the adjacent microchannel group 7 through the channel, and passes through several microchannel groups 7 until it is discharged from the tail mixing structure 8 of the last microchannel group 7.
[0039] The working principle of the microchannel reactor provided by this invention is as follows: Multiple fluids are injected into the reaction microchannel through the material inlet to form a mixed flow. The flow velocity is reduced by the baffle column in the flow stabilization structure to prevent the multiple fluids from stratifying due to different pump pressures. After entering the mixing structure, the mixed flow collides with the flow-dividing arc in the baffle zone, and the fluid is divided into two streams and deflected to the arc-shaped inner wall. Then, it collides with the baffle arc and the arc-shaped inner wall in sequence, and finally accelerates at the outlet to enter the next mixing structure at high speed. The mixed flow is repeatedly divided and mixed through the series of microchannels and then discharged through the material outlet.
[0040] Numerical simulations were performed in Fluent software to analyze the structure of the microchannel reactor. Both solvents used were ethanol. The mixing index γ was calculated using the following equation to evaluate the mixing efficiency:
[0041]
[0042] wherein: W i is the mass fraction of solvent corresponding to the i-th grid on the outlet surface; is the average mass fraction of solvent on the outlet surface; A i is the area corresponding to the i-th grid on the outlet surface.
