Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of anti-wall flow packing structure, in particular to a rectifying column anti-wall flow packing structure and method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The catalytic rectifying process has both reaction and separation, so the packing in the column must have both catalytic function and gas-liquid mass transfer function, the product after the raw material is catalytically reacted in the column is separated, and the reaction is continuously promoted. The packing structure of the catalytic rectifying column directly affects the efficiency of the process, and the packing needs to ensure that the gas-liquid phases in the column are fully mixed and contacted, while the contact time range of the reactants and the catalyst is large and controllable.

[0003] Generally, the flow channel direction of the packing in the rectifying column is inclined downward, if the fluid always flows along the flow channel, the liquid will flow to the vicinity of the column wall, thereby forming a wall flow phenomenon, and the packing in the center cannot be well wetted, thereby forming a so-called "dry cone" abnormal phenomenon, which reduces the effective contact area of the gas-liquid two phases, and if no anti-wall flow measures are taken, there will be 10% to 40% of wall flow, which has more than 10% influence on the separation effect. Therefore, reducing or eliminating the wall flow effect has important significance for improving the separation and absorption capacity of the packing, and reducing the cost. SUMMARY
