Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of particle characteristic measurement, specifically to a device for detecting the state of solid particles in a reactor and its application, and more particularly to a device for detecting the state of solid particles in a stirred tank or a stirred membrane reactor and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, catalyst recycling and multiphase reactions are typically carried out within stirred reactors. However, with the improvement of catalyst performance and the reduction of catalyst size, membrane fouling has become a major problem limiting the reaction and separation efficiency of stirred-tube membrane reactors. Unlike conventional stirred reactors, this reactor involves the filtration and suspension of catalyst particles. On the one hand, the accumulation of catalyst particles on the membrane surface reduces membrane flux and affects separation efficiency; on the other hand, uneven distribution of the catalyst within the reactor affects reaction efficiency. Stirring can regulate multiphase flow and shear rate within the reactor, thereby suppressing particle accumulation and membrane fouling near the membrane. Therefore, studying the multiphase flow and filtration processes within stirred-tube membrane reactors, understanding the particle motion patterns, particle distribution, and membrane fouling mechanisms near the membrane at the particle scale, and obtaining methods for controlling membrane fouling are of great significance for the design, optimization, and scale-up of stirred-tube membrane reactors.

[0003] Studies on the microscopic morphology and structure of membrane fouling often employ ex-situ observation techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. While these techniques can analyze the surface or internal structure of the fouled membrane layer, they cannot provide an accurate and complete reflection of the dynamic processes of membrane fouling because they cannot perform online analysis.

[0004] Online observation techniques better reflect the dynamic changes of membrane fouling layers, more closely resembling real-world conditions. Precise characterization of these dynamic processes, especially at the micrometer or submicrometer scale, is crucial for confirming the mechanisms and models related to membrane fouling layer formation. Direct observation is a powerful, non-destructive, online method for observing particle deposition, adhesion, and cake formation on the membrane surface. However, due to limitations in the working distance of microscope objectives, direct observation can only be used to observe membrane fouling under cross-flow and dead-end filtration conditions. Therefore, observation of the formation process of membrane fouling in stirred membrane reactors remains insufficient.

[0005] For example, CN105738648A discloses an online method for measuring particle velocity in a multiphase system. Combining multiple exposure technology and image processing methods, it can measure the velocity distribution of particles such as bubbles, droplets, or solids within a multiphase reactor. However, the telecentric lens used has a relatively low magnification and a large field of view, resulting in limited image information for smaller particles and an inability to accurately describe the boundaries of microscopic particles. Furthermore, due to the limitations of small industrial cameras, it cannot measure particles moving at high speeds.

[0006] It is evident that further research is needed to observe the microscopic particles in high-speed systems within multiphase reactors. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for detecting the state of solid particles in a reactor and its application, so as to solve the problem that high-speed moving solid particles in a reactor cannot be detected online dynamically.

[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a device for detecting the state of solid particles in a reactor, the device comprising: a probe disposed in the reactor, a telecentric lens, an image capture device configured with the telecentric lens, a laser, a calibration plate, a synchronizer, and an output and control system;

[0010] The image capture device, synchronizer, and laser are connected in sequence;

[0011] The output and control system is connected to the telecentric lens, image capture device, laser, and synchronizer;

[0012] The probe and the telecentric lens are coaxially arranged.

[0013] The detection device provided by this invention utilizes a laser and a telecentric lens. It captures images of particles based on the excitation of reflected light from a laser beam illuminating a reflector, followed by image processing using image capture software. This method enables online observation of high-speed moving microscopic particles, accurately and completely distinguishing particle boundaries, and is applicable to most working conditions.

[0014] Once the particle trajectory is captured by the image capture device, the tracer particles' velocity is calculated using a cross-correlation algorithm—that is, by measuring displacement changes within an extremely short time interval. Due to the excellent tracking ability of the tracer particles, their velocity is approximately equal to the velocity of the liquid phase. Specifically, by adding 40-60 micrometer quartz sand particles and 5-15 micrometer tracer particles, simultaneous measurement of local flow field particle velocimetry and particle tracking techniques can be achieved under laser beam illumination. For large solid particles, median filtering is used to reduce background noise, adjust image contrast, identify the center coordinates and radius, and calculate the particle velocity by measuring displacement changes within an extremely short time.

[0075] Application Example 1

[0076] This application example provides a device for detecting the state of solid particles in the reactor as described in Example 1. The purpose of the device includes detecting the motion state, packing state and microscopic parameters of solid particles in the reactor.

[0077] Specifically, the steps include the following:

[0078] (1) Fix the calibration plate, adjust the exposure time of the image capture device and the energy value of the laser to the corresponding preset values, and then adjust the calibration plate to be located at the focal plane through the output and control system, and control the image capture device to take pictures;

[0081] The maximum displacement standard value of the particle in step (2) is 2-3 times the particle diameter; the pulse time of the laser is 50-100μs; the pulse period of the laser is 1500-2500Hz; in the processing of the continuously captured images, a calibration plate is used to determine the size of a single pixel in the image; the processing of the continuously captured images includes preprocessing; the preprocessing includes image subtraction, image noise reduction, image segmentation and image enhancement performed sequentially; the microscopic parameters of the solid particles include the velocity of the solid particles, the particle diameter of the solid particles and the distribution state of the solid particles.

[0082] Examples of specific reactor applications are as follows:

[0083] Application Example 2

[0084] The telecentric lens parameters are: magnification 10, working distance 100mm; high-speed camera (image capture device) parameters are: resolution 1 megapixel, frame rate 9500fps, exposure time 30μs; the laser energy preset value is 2J. The reactor is a stirred tank reactor. The solid particles used are spherical silica particles with a particle size of 50μm (2g / L) and 10μm silver-plated hollow glass microsphere tracer particles (0.1g / L). The titanium powder sintered film tube is the same as above. The laser source emits a beam with a diameter of approximately 2mm.

[0085] The maximum displacement standard value of the particles is set to 2.5 times the particle size; the pulse time of the laser is set to 70μs; and the pulse period of the laser is set to 2000Hz.

[0086] Using the above measurement method, median filtering was used to separate tracer particles and spherical silica particles in the original image, and large particles were removed by image subtraction. The velocity of the tracer particles, i.e., the velocity of the dispersed phase, was processed using PIVlab software; the velocity of the spherical silica particles, i.e., the velocity of both the dispersed and continuous phases, was processed using PTVlab. The resulting image is shown below. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the velocity of the particles and the velocity of the flow field can be seen. By superimposing the fluid diagram and the particle diagram, the instantaneous flow field of the solid and liquid phases can be displayed more intuitively. Through analysis, the interaction relationship between the particles and the flow field can be seen.

[0087] Application Example 3

[0088] A 10x telecentric lens with the same parameters as above was used. High-speed camera (image capture device) parameters: same as above, frame rate 2000fps, exposure time 100μs; laser energy preset value 1J.

The static liquid level height H = T, the stirring impeller was a downward-pressing six-bladed impeller with a diameter D = T / 3 and a height from the bottom C = T / 3. Four baffles were evenly distributed around the stirring tank, with a baffle width B = T / 10. A stainless steel tube with a probe and a reflector was used, made of silicone. The solid particles used were spherical silica particles with a diameter of approximately 50μm, 2g / L. A 30mm long tube was sintered with 10μm titanium powder.

[0089] The maximum displacement standard value of the particles is set to twice the particle diameter; the pulse time of the laser is set to 100μs; and the pulse period of the laser is set to 1500Hz.

The resulting image is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the velocity distribution diagram of the obtained particles is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 The particle size statistics of the particles obtained are shown in Table 1. By calculating the solid content and particle velocity at different locations, the local solid content and velocity distribution in the reactor can be obtained.
