Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to equipment for carrying out chemical synthesis reactions in temperature and electric fields, and particularly to a chemical synthesis reaction system and method based on a magnetically induced electric field, belonging to the field of chemical synthesis technology. Background Technology
[0002] Chemical synthesis refers to the physicochemical changes that occur when two or more simple molecules combine in a controlled manner to produce more complex chemical products. It is the study of the creation and transformation of matter, the foundation and core of chemical science, and a crucial pathway and means for humankind to understand and create matter. Breakthroughs in chemical synthesis not only influence the rapid development of chemical science itself but also play a significant role in promoting and advancing other sciences, such as life sciences, materials science, and medicine. Chemical synthesis is widely used in the development of all commercially important products in pharmaceuticals, polymers, fine chemicals, and bulk chemical industries. Successful chemical synthesis, meaning the production of target molecules with the required economic efficiency and quality, is closely related to the effective use of reactants and reagents through a thorough understanding and control of reaction variables.
[0003] Modern chemical synthesis is responsible for manufacturing all organic and inorganic products, requiring advanced technologies in both laboratory and industrial production to meet new demands for quality, safety, and productivity. However, most chemical synthesis reactions are reversible, requiring catalysts to drive the reaction forward. Furthermore, when the reaction reaches equilibrium, products must be continuously removed from the reactor or reactants added to disrupt the equilibrium and promote further reaction. These reactions also require high operating pressures and temperatures, involving cyclical reactions in various reaction vessels or reactors, resulting in extremely low catalytic efficiency, high energy consumption, and bulky, costly equipment. This constitutes a major obstacle to improving chemical processes. Summary of the Invention

The following will further explain and illustrate this technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.
[0023] The inventors of this case discovered that magnetic induction electric field technology can exert an electrothermal effect on polar molecules. The principle is that a high-frequency pulsed magnetic field induces molecules or atoms to generate an induced electric field and current. The inherent resistance of the molecules induces internal heat generation. Simultaneously, the induced electric field and current excite electrons within the molecules or atoms, causing them to transition from a normal stable state to a higher energy level. This allows reactant molecules to gain energy, thereby accelerating product formation. This technology utilizes energy differently from conventional heating methods. The induced electric field is spontaneously induced within the substance itself, belonging to a volumetric heat generation process. It has a high energy utilization rate, and the molecules quickly gain energy under the influence of the electric field, significantly increasing the reaction rate.

[0043] The liquid containing reactants is continuously injected into the reaction tube, and an excitation voltage is applied to the excitation coil with a high-frequency excitation power supply to form an induced electric field and an induced current in the liquid continuously flowing through the closed loop, so that the second induced current in the second reaction tube is greater than the first induced current in the first reaction tube. The liquid in the first reaction tube is self-heated to a first temperature under the excitation of the first induced current. The reactants undergo a pre-reaction at the first temperature and enter the induction period of the chemical synthesis reaction, forming an intermediate of some reaction products.

[0056] In this embodiment, please refer again. Figure 1The mixing unit 100 includes a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant reactor. The reactor includes a vessel body and a stirring device 103. The stirring device 103 is disposed in the vessel body.

[0057] In this embodiment, the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 is mainly used to allow the reactants in the feed liquid containing the reactants to undergo a chemical synthesis reaction and generate reaction products.
[0058] In this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-6 The magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 includes a magnetic core 202, an excitation coil 205, and a reaction tube through which a liquid containing reactants can be continuously passed.

The two first reaction tubes 203 are connected to the second inlet 201 of the reaction tube, and the second reaction tube 204 is connected to the second outlet 207 of the reaction tube. The two first reaction tubes 203 are also connected to the second reaction tube 204 respectively. Each first reaction tube 203 and the second reaction tube 204 are connected to form a loop through which the liquid can flow continuously. The two first reaction tubes 203 and the second reaction tube 204 are also provided with temperature and pressure monitoring probes 206 for monitoring temperature and pressure. The two first reaction tubes 203 and the excitation coil 205 are wound on the magnetic core 202 at intervals and independently. The second inlet 201 is connected to the first outlet of the mixing unit 100.
[0059] In this embodiment, the magnetic core 202 is a closed annular rounded corner magnetic core. The outer perimeter length L1 of the magnetic core is 30cm-150cm, the outer perimeter width W1 is 15cm-80cm, the inner perimeter length L2 is 15cm-100cm, the inner perimeter width W2 is 10cm-50cm, and the height H is 20cm-80cm.
[0060] In this embodiment, the magnetic core 202 is made of amorphous nanocrystalline soft magnetic material.
[0061] In this embodiment, the second feed inlet 201 is positioned directly below the magnetic core 202 along the height direction of the magnetic core, and the second discharge outlet 207 is positioned directly above the magnetic core 202 along the height direction of the magnetic core. The two first reaction tubes 203 are spaced apart and wound around the magnetic core 202 relative to each other along the width direction of the magnetic core. The second feed inlet 201 is connected to the two first reaction tubes 203 through a T-connector, and the two ends of the two first reaction tubes 203 are connected to the second reaction tube 204 through a T-connector. The second reaction tube 204 is connected to the second discharge outlet 207 through a T-connector.
[0062] In this embodiment, the diameter of the first reaction tube 203 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the second reaction tube 204. Specifically, the diameter of the first reaction tube 203 is 5 mm-50 mm, and the total number of turns of the two first reaction tubes 203 on both sides of the magnetic core is 20-50 turns; the diameter of the second reaction tube 204 is 5 mm-30 mm.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first reaction tube 203 and the second reaction tube 204 are made of materials such as quartz glass, silicone, high-purity polytetrafluoroethylene, PPL or PE, which are resistant to high temperature, high pressure and corrosion.
[0064] In this embodiment, the excitation coil 205 is wound along the length of the magnetic core on one side of the magnetic core 202. Specifically, the number of turns of the excitation coil 205 is 1-5 turns.
[0065] In this embodiment, the high-frequency excitation power supply 300 is electrically connected to the excitation coil 205. Specifically, the excitation voltage of the high-frequency excitation power supply 300 is 200-1000 V, the excitation current is 5-10 A, the excitation frequency is 30-70 kHz, the high-frequency excitation power supply 300 is a square wave pulse waveform, and the first induced current in the first reaction tube 203 is 0-50 A, with an induced current density of 0-5 A / cm². 2 The second induced current in the second reaction tube 204 is 50-200A, and the induced current density is 5-20 A / cm². 2 The high-frequency excitation power supply 300 controls the electric field strength, current density, and heating temperature of the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 by adjusting the power supply parameters.
[0066] In this embodiment, the separation unit 400 is connected to the second outlet 207 of the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 and is used for the separation of reaction products.

[0068] In this embodiment, when an excitation voltage is supplied to the excitation coil 205 and a liquid containing reactants is injected into the reaction tube, the liquid continuously flowing through the closed loop formed by the connection of a first reaction tube 203 and a second reaction tube 204 spontaneously induces an electric field and an induced current in the pulsed magnetic field provided by the excitation coil 205 and the magnetic core 202. A first induced current is formed in the first reaction tube 203, and a second induced current is formed in the second reaction tube 204. The magnitude of the second induced current is much larger than the magnitude of the first induced current. The liquid containing reactants in the reaction tube self-heats under the current heating effect, generating heat sufficient for the reactants to undergo a chemical synthesis reaction. Under the influence of the reactants' own resistance in the liquid within the reaction tube, the liquid in the first reaction tube 203 is heated to a first temperature and a first energy. The first temperature and the first energy enable the reactants to enter the induction period of the pre-reaction of the chemical synthesis reaction and form an intermediate of some reaction products. The second temperature and the second energy enable the reactants to complete the chemical synthesis reaction and obtain the reaction products. Therefore, the first reaction tube can also be called a pre-reaction tube.
[0069] In this embodiment, the electric field in the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 is spontaneously generated by the liquid material continuously passing through the closed loop portion of the reaction tube in the pulsed magnetic field in the magnetic core 202; the heat in the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 is generated by the amplification of the induced current density caused by the resistance of the reactants themselves.
[0070] It should be noted that the chemical synthesis reaction includes inorganic chemical synthesis reaction or organic chemical synthesis reaction; the parameters of the high-frequency excitation power supply, reaction vessel, and separation unit can be customized or adjusted in the PLC control unit according to the characteristics of the chemical synthesis reaction or its products.
[0071] Specifically, the chemical synthesis reaction system based on a magnetic induction electric field in this embodiment can be used to perform chemical synthesis for some chemical synthesis reactions by selecting appropriate electrical parameters, such as halogenation, nitration, redox, elimination, alkylation, acylation, condensation and rearrangement reactions, etc.; this embodiment can also be used to verify production efficiency, catalytic efficiency and energy utilization.

The valve 104 of the mixing unit is set to continuous feeding mode.
[0075] (1) Pretreatment: Add the appropriate amount of carboxylic acid, excess ethanol and appropriate amount of concentrated sulfuric acid required for the reaction to the reaction vessel and stir evenly. The purpose is to convert the raw materials into reactants in the reaction state.
[0076] (2) Pre-reaction: The above reactants enter the first reaction tube 203 in the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 through valve 104; due to the weak electrical and thermal effects generated by this tube, the reactants generate heat and gradually increase in temperature, and obtain most of the energy required for the reaction in this process, so that the reaction between the reactants enters the induction period and forms some intermediates.
[0077] (3) Chemical reaction: When the reactants enter the second reaction tube 204 from the first reaction tube 203, their energy gradually accumulates. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the spiral first reaction tube 203 generates an induced electric field under the action of the pulse magnetic field.

[0084] (2) Pre-reaction: The above reaction mixture enters the first reaction tube 203 in the magnetic induction electric field-thermal reaction unit 200 through valve 104; due to the weak electrical and thermal effects generated by this tube, the reactants generate heat and gradually increase in temperature, and obtain most of the energy required for the reaction in this process, so that the reaction between the reactants enters the induction period and forms some intermediates.
[0085] (3) Chemical reaction: When the reaction mixture enters the second reaction tube 204 from the first reaction tube 203, its energy gradually accumulates. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the spiral first reaction tube 203 generates an induced electric field under the action of the pulse magnetic field. This induced electric field is further concentrated in the second reaction tube 204 to generate a stronger current and electric field. Under the dual action of electrothermal, the reaction mixture reacts completely and generates crude sodium thiosulfate.

[0096] (2) Post-processing stage: The above reaction solution is filtered while hot; then evaporated and concentrated until the solution is turbid; then cooled and crystallized, and the crystals are washed, filtered and recovered.
[0097] (3) Weighing, identification and yield calculation: The obtained sodium thiosulfate was weighed and the yield was calculated. The theoretical yield was about 10 g, and the actual yield was about 6.7-6.8 g. The yield of the above chemical synthesis reaction was about 67-68%. After the product was identified for instability, reducing power and coordination ability, the prepared sodium thiosulfate was found to be extremely unstable and easily decomposed under acidic conditions, and had strong reducing power and coordination ability.
