Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of diesel improver production, and in particular relates to production equipment and a preparation method of a diesel cetane number improver. Background Art

[0002] Diesel is an important fuel, and its cetane number affects its combustion performance. Special improvers can significantly improve the cetane number of diesel. During the preparation of the improver, it is necessary to use a special reaction container for reaction preparation.

[0003] At present, isooctyl nitrate is a commonly used and relatively mature diesel cetane number improver. During production, isooctyl alcohol, mixed acid (nitric acid and sulfuric acid), inert solvent, etc. need to be introduced into a reactor in a specific ratio, and the raw materials are uniformly mixed using the reactor, and reacted at a suitable temperature, such as the tower reactor for synthesizing diesel cetane number improver disclosed in patent announcement number CN220900409U;

[0004] There are currently two commonly used reaction methods for the preparation of isooctyl nitrate improver. One is to use a micro-tube reactor for continuous reaction. However, the capacity of a single pipeline unit to handle the reaction is limited, which affects the overall efficiency, and increasing the number of pipeline units will lead to a complex structure of the entire device. Secondly, the micro-tube has a small diameter and is easily blocked by impurities, solid particles or reaction products, resulting in system failures and production interruptions, and the maintenance cost of the device is high. The other is to use a traditional reactor for reaction preparation. However, the traditional reactor will result in uneven heat transfer (for example, there will be a significant difference between the raw material temperature at the center of the reactor and the raw material temperature at the edge), poor mass transfer effect, affecting the preparation purity of isooctyl nitrate, and it is difficult to ensure that the raw materials are evenly mixed and reacted only by stirring, the conversion rate is not high, and some raw materials are wasted.

[0056] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: a mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid at a molar ratio of 2:1 is uniformly mixed in advance and then introduced into the feed chamber 2 through the mixed acid inlet pipe 44, and an inert solvent (toluene or xylene) accounting for 30% of the volume of isooctyl alcohol is introduced into the feed chamber 2 through the inert solvent inlet pipe 45, and then isooctyl alcohol at a molar ratio of 1:1.3 to nitric acid is introduced into the annular cover 41 through the isooctyl alcohol inlet pipe 43. After the isooctyl alcohol enters the annular cover 41, it will enter the feed chamber 2 from different positions through each branch pipe 42 and mix with the mixed acid and the inert solvent. When the isooctyl alcohol is introduced into the annular cover 41, the controller 13 is started at the same time, and the external cooling is started at the same time. The cooling medium output device and the heat preservation medium output device are used to transport the cooling medium into the upper jacket 122 through the cooling medium inlet pipe 125 (the temperature of the cooling medium is in the range of 1°C to 5°C, within which temperature range, the reaction rate of isooctyl alcohol and the mixed acid after mixing is low), and the heat preservation medium output device is used to transport the heat preservation medium into the lower jacket 121 (the temperature of the heat preservation medium is in the range of 40°C to 50°C, within which temperature range, it can be ensured that the reaction rate of isooctyl alcohol and the mixed acid after mixing is high), the cooling medium in the upper jacket 122 is discharged through the cooling medium outlet pipe 126, and the heat preservation medium in the lower jacket 121 is discharged through the heat preservation medium outlet pipe 124;

[0057] After the controller 13 is started, it will control the circulation pump 51 to start working, and the mixed solution inside the feed chamber 2 will enter the suction pipe 52 through each circulation pipe 54, and be input into the hollow disc 56 by the circulation pump 51, and then enter the liquid inlet tank 62 inside the non-magnetic insulating seat 61 through each heat dissipation pipe 57 on the side wall of the hollow disc 56. When the mixed solution passes through each blocking net 64 inside the liquid inlet tank 62, under the action of the flow resistance of the mixed solution, each blocking net 64 will be subjected to resistance and will drive the iron ring 65 to move synchronously through the non-magnetic protective sleeve 63. Due to the magnetic attraction between the iron ring 65 and the magnetic block 68, when the iron ring 65 moves, the magnetic block 68 will also move synchronously, thereby being able to drive the insulating rod 67 to move horizontally. If the mixed solution enters the liquid inlet tank 62, The mixed acid accounts for too much in the mixed solution. Since the mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid has a higher viscosity than isooctyl alcohol and an inert solvent, when the high-viscosity liquid flows in the pipeline, the internal friction between the molecules is large, resulting in an increase in flow resistance. Therefore, each blocking net 64 drives the iron ring 65 to move a large distance through the non-magnetic protective sleeve 63, thereby making the distance between the insulating rod 67 and the infrared ranging probe 610 closer. If the isooctyl alcohol and the inert solvent in the mixed solution entering the liquid inlet tank 62 account for too much, then since the viscosity of isooctyl alcohol and the inert solvent is smaller than that of the mixed acid, the flow resistance is smaller, so the moving distance of the blocking net 64 is smaller. At this time, the distance between the insulating rod 67 and the infrared ranging probe 610 is far. If the ratio of the mixed acid, isooctyl alcohol and inert solvent in the mixed solution is appropriate (the ratio is about 3:2.5:0.75), the flow resistance of the barrier net 64 is appropriate. At this time, the distance between the insulating rod 67 and the infrared ranging probe 610 is centered. After the controller 13 is started, the infrared ranging probe 610 will be started. The transmitting end of the infrared ranging probe 610 can measure the distance between the infrared ranging probe 610 and the insulating rod 67 by emitting infrared rays and calculating the time it takes for the receiving end to receive the reflected infrared rays. When the distance between the insulating rod 67 and the infrared ranging probe 610 is within the range of 4 cm to 6 cm (that is, the ratio of each raw material in the mixed solution is appropriate), the infrared ranging probe 610 will output an electrical signal to the controller 13. On the contrary, if the insulating rod When the distance between 67 and the infrared ranging probe 610 is outside the threshold range, the infrared ranging probe 610 will not output an electrical signal to the controller 13. After receiving the electrical signal output by the infrared ranging probe 610, the controller 13 will control the second normally open solenoid valve 613 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 614 to be energized. At this time, the mixed liquid in the liquid inlet tank 62 will be discharged through the second reflux pipe 612. If the controller 13 does not receive the electrical signal output by the infrared ranging probe 610, the second normally open solenoid valve 613 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 614 will not be energized. At this time, the mixed solution in the liquid inlet tank 62 will flow back into the feed chamber 2 through the first reflux pipe 611, thereby ensuring that the relatively uniformly mixed mixed solution enters the reaction chamber 3 for reaction;

[0058] When the mixed liquid discharged through the second reflux pipe 612 passes through the insulation pipe 71, it will be heated to a temperature within a range of 40°C to 50°C by each heating rod 73, so that the mixed liquid can reach the reaction temperature for rapid reaction. The heated mixed solution enters the reaction chamber 3 for reaction. At the same time, after the controller 13 is started, it will control the stirring mechanism 11 to work, and the stirring mechanism 11 can further stir and mix the mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3 to ensure that the mixed solution can fully react.

[0059] As the mixed solution in the feed chamber 2 is transferred into the reaction chamber 3, the amount of the mixed solution in the feed chamber 2 gradually decreases until the mixed solution in the feed chamber 2 is completely discharged. At this time, the liquid level meter 46 in the feed chamber 2 will detect that the mixed solution in the feed chamber 2 is completely discharged (the transmitting end of the liquid level meter 46 can measure the height of the liquid level in the feed chamber 2 by emitting infrared rays and calculating the time for the receiving end to receive the reflected infrared rays, and output an electrical signal to the controller 13 after the liquid level drops to a preset height), thereby outputting an electrical signal to the controller 13. After receiving the electrical signal output by the liquid level meter 46, the controller 13 will immediately control each first normally open solenoid valve 55 and the first normally closed solenoid valve 53 in the suction pipe 52 to be energized and work, and the controller 13 controls the second normally open solenoid valve 55 in the first reflux pipe 611 to be energized and work. The solenoid valve 613 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 614 in the second reflux pipe 612 are continuously energized, and at this time, the circulating pump 51 will extract the mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3, and cooperate with the hollow disc 56, the heat dissipation pipe 57, the liquid inlet tank 62, the second reflux pipe 612, the heat insulation pipe 71, the offset leakage hole 74 and the connecting pipe 75 to make the mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3 circulate. On the one hand, the mixed solution in the middle part of the reaction chamber 3 can be externally circulated. If the temperature of the mixed solution is too high, the excess heat can be dissipated through the heat dissipation pipe 57. If the temperature is too low, the temperature can be raised by the heating rod 73 to help improve the temperature stability of the mixed solution. On the other hand, through the circulation and the operation of the stirring mechanism 11, it can be ensured as much as possible that the mixed solution is evenly mixed and fully reacted.

[0060] Secondly, after receiving the output electrical signal of the liquid level meter 46, the controller 13 will start each pH detection probe 82 and start the air pump 91 at the same time. As the reaction proceeds, the mixed acid solution in the mixed solution is consumed by the reaction. At this time, the pH value of the mixed solution gradually increases. When the pH value of the mixed solution reaches a preset value (the preset value can be set according to the pH value of the mixed solution after the reaction is complete under the same conditions or obtained in production, usually set in the range of 3 to 4), the pH detection probe 82 will output an electrical signal to the controller 13. At this time, the controller 13 will control the fourth normally open solenoid valve 95 corresponding to the pH detection probe 82 to be energized. If only part of the mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3 fully reacts, only part of the pH detection probes 82 will output electrical signals to the controller 13, or all of the pH detection probes 82 will only output electrical signals to the controller 13 for a short time (within 3 minutes). At this time, the air delivered to the inside of the air box 93 by the air pump 91 can The mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3 is allowed to be discharged in time, and when the mixed solution in the reaction chamber 3 is fully reacted, each pH detection probe 82 will continue to output an electrical signal to the controller 13 for a long time. At this time, each fourth normally open solenoid valve 95 will continue to be energized and closed, so the air entering the air box 93 cannot be discharged in time. Under the action of air pressure, the moving contact of the air pressure switch 96 is closed by the air pressure, thereby outputting a closed electrical signal to the controller 13. At this time, the controller 13 will control the circulating infusion unit 5, the heat exchange unit 7, the detection unit 8, the trigger prompt mechanism 9 and the stirring mechanism 11 to stop working, and the mixed solution is allowed to stand and stratify in the reaction chamber 3. After standing and stratifying for 20 minutes, the controller 13 starts the circulating pump 51, and at the same time controls the electric control valve 17 in the discharge pipe 10 to open, and outputs the stratified organic phase and aqueous phase to the corresponding external containers for storage, and then washes and dries the organic phase for multiple times to remove impurities and residual acid in the organic phase, and obtains the isooctyl nitrate product after purification. Embodiment 2:

[0061] Reference Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the air intake pipe 92 is connected to the interior of the reaction chamber 3, a third normally closed solenoid valve 14 is installed inside the air intake pipe 92, a branch suction pipe 15 is fixedly inserted at a position between the third normally closed solenoid valve 14 and the air pump 91 on the pipe wall of the air intake pipe 92, and a third normally open solenoid valve 16 is installed inside the branch suction pipe 15, and the third normally closed solenoid valve 14 and the third normally open solenoid valve 16 are both electrically connected to the controller 13.

[0062] In this embodiment, after the controller 13 is started, the controller 13 will control the air pump 91, the third normally open solenoid valve 16 and the third normally closed solenoid valve 14 to work regularly for 5 minutes. At this time, the suction end of the air pump 91 will discharge the air in the reaction chamber 3 through the suction pipe 92, thereby reducing the amount of air in the reaction chamber 3 and reducing the influence of the air on the reaction of isooctyl alcohol and the mixed acid. After starting the pH detection probe 82, the air pump 91 will input external air into the air box 93 through the suction pipe 15 and the suction pipe 92.
