Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of B01D7 / 02, specifically to a highly efficient process and apparatus for producing chlorothalonil crystals. Background Technology
[0002] Chlorothalonil is a broad-spectrum organochlorine fungicide. Currently, my country's chlorothalonil production technology is basically complete, and its application has gradually expanded from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, building materials, light industry, and electrical manufacturing plants. The main raw material for chlorothalonil is m-xylene, which undergoes an ammonia oxidation catalytic reaction to obtain the intermediate isophthalonitrile, followed by high-temperature chlorination to obtain chlorothalonil. Different crystal forms of chlorothalonil technical material are obtained during preparation, resulting in different applications in the formulation field, mainly α-type and β-type. In terms of biological activity, the α-type is several times higher than the β-type. Therefore, the prepared chlorothalonil technical material needs further transformation to obtain the highly biologically active α-type product. For example, Chinese patent application (authorization announcement number CN216764759U) discloses a chlorothalonil lattice transformation device, which requires first partially transforming the chlorothalonil raw material through a primary transformation device, and then completing the lattice transformation through a secondary transformation device. However, this transformation device is prone to agglomeration during the uniform preheating and temperature rise transformation process, resulting in incomplete transformation. Chinese patent application (authorization announcement number CN207576415U) discloses a device for converting chlorothalonil technical material into crystal form, but it still cannot effectively solve the problems of easy agglomeration and incomplete conversion during the conversion process. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a highly efficient chlorothalonil crystallization production process and apparatus. Utilizing a specific device and optimized process, it achieves gas-solid crystallization directly into the α-type, eliminating the need for prior conversion to the β-type. This enables continuous, rapid, and stable conversion of α-type chlorothalonil, significantly improving production efficiency and effectively resolving the problems of agglomeration and incomplete conversion in traditional solid-solid crystallization processes. It has immense industrial application value.
[0004] This invention provides an efficient process for producing chlorothalonil crystals, comprising at least the following steps:
[0005] (1) The gas phase chlorothalonil product is transferred to the crystallization reactor through the gas phase chlorothalonil inlet. At the same time, the α-crystal chlorothalonil seed crystals are transported to the crystallization reactor through the nitrogen inlet via the nitrogen inlet using a gas blowing method. The gas phase chlorothalonil product and the α-crystal chlorothalonil seed crystals come into contact to form a crystallization mixing zone for crystallization.
[0006] (2) After the crystallization is completed, the α-type chlorothalonil product falls to the bottom of the crystallization kettle. The α-type chlorothalonil product is continuously extracted from the α-type chlorothalonil product outlet through the screw discharge machine. The tail gas generated during the reaction is transferred to the spray tower for spraying treatment through the tail gas outlet.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the purity of the α-crystal chlorothalonil seed crystals is ≥98.5%, and the particle size is 5-10μm.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the gas blowing is specifically nitrogen reverse blowing.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the pressure of the nitrogen reverse blowing is 0.05-0.3MPa, preferably 0.1-0.3MPa.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the temperature of the gas-phase chlorothalonil product is 200-280℃, which is measured through the first temperature measuring port.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the temperature in the region below the crystal mixing zone in the crystal transfer vessel is <100℃, which is measured through the third temperature measuring port.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the weight ratio of the gaseous chlorothalonil product to the α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals is 100:(40-60).
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the height of the crystal-mixing zone is 2-5m, preferably 3-5m.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the temperature of the crystal mixing zone in the crystal transfer vessel is 100-150℃, which is measured through the second temperature measuring port.
[0015] The chlorothalonil crystallization production process provided by this invention uses α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals with a purity ≥98.5% and a particle size of 5-10 μm to achieve rapid crystallization of the gas-phase chlorothalonil product. The resulting α-type chlorothalonil crystal particles are large (5-30 μm) and have high purity. The inventors believe the reason may be that the introduction of α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals serves as the crystallization nucleus for the gas-phase chlorothalonil product. After contact with the α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals, the gas-phase chlorothalonil product rapidly crystallizes to form large-particle, high-purity α-type chlorothalonil finished product.
[0016] In particular, the reverse nitrogen blowing method is used to transport α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals from the bottom to the top of the crystallization reactor, providing the necessary reaction power for crystallization transformation. At the same time, the gaseous chlorothalonil product enters the crystallization reactor from the gaseous chlorothalonil inlet and is transported from the top to the bottom. After the α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals transported from bottom to top come into contact with the gaseous chlorothalonil product transported from top to bottom, a crystallization mixing zone with a temperature of 100-150℃ is formed at a depth of 3-5m. This effectively ensures that the α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals (5-10μm) are in contact with the surface of the gaseous chlorothalonil product during the crystallization process, and quickly reduces the temperature of the gaseous chlorothalonil product to the transformation temperature to achieve transformation. In continuous production, rapid cooling crystallization can be achieved, with high conversion rate, high output, and short transformation time. Moreover, no heating or cooling system is required, reducing the loss of gaseous chlorothalonil product during the crystallization process. This process has great economic value in industry.
[0017] In this invention, by controlling the weight ratio of gaseous chlorothalonil product to α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed crystals to be 100:(40-60), the temperature of the 3-5m crystallization mixing zone formed in the crystallization reactor is 100-150℃, which ensures a shortened transformation time and results in α-crystalline chlorothalonil finished product with large crystal particles and high purity.
[0018] Another aspect of the present invention provides a chlorothalonil crystallization production apparatus, comprising a nitrogen storage tank, an α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed storage tank, a crystallization reactor, a gaseous chlorothalonil inlet, a tail gas outlet, a nitrogen inlet, a first temperature measuring port, a second temperature measuring port, a third temperature measuring port, a screw discharger, and an α-crystalline chlorothalonil finished product outlet. The crystallization reactor is provided with a gaseous chlorothalonil inlet, a tail gas outlet, a nitrogen inlet, a first temperature measuring port, a second temperature measuring port, and a third temperature measuring port. The nitrogen storage tank and the α-crystalline chlorothalonil seed storage tank are connected by a nitrogen inlet pipe, which is connected to the nitrogen inlet of the crystallization reactor. The crystallization reactor is connected to the screw discharger, which is provided with an α-crystalline chlorothalonil finished product outlet.
[0019] The chlorothalonil crystallization production device provided by this invention can realize the continuous production and transformation of chlorothalonil products without the need for additional turning and stirring devices. It also has low equipment investment, high processing capacity, convenient operation, simple structure and equipment, and is easy to promote and apply on a large scale.
