Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polyacrylonitrile spinning solution preparation, specifically involving a mixer, an online amination device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, and an amination method. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber possesses advantages such as high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, and ablation resistance, and is widely used in aerospace, transportation, and sports and leisure fields. Among them, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fiber has become the fastest-growing, most diverse, and most widely used carbon fiber. The high performance of carbon fiber originates from PAN precursor fibers. The coagulation process is a key step in precursor fiber formation, significantly impacting the structure and properties of the precursor fibers. The coagulation double diffusion rate is related to the hydrophilicity of the PAN spinning solution. Improving the hydrophilicity of the PAN spinning solution helps control the coagulation process of nascent fibers, slows down the coagulation double diffusion rate, and inhibits the formation of macropores and core-sheath structures, thereby facilitating the acquisition of high-performance PAN precursor fibers with uniform and dense structures.

[0003] Currently, ammonia bubbling is commonly used to ammonify PAN polymerization solutions. Chinese patent publication CN1401675A discloses a method for preparing polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber spinning solutions. Ammonia is introduced into the polyacrylonitrile stock solution, causing ammonia to react with some of the carboxyl groups of itaconic acid to form ammonium salts. The pH of the stock solution is adjusted to between 8 and 10. This method is also the most commonly used to modify the hydrophilicity of the stock solution. Chinese patent publication CN105088422A discloses an ammonia-charging method in the preparation of polyacrylonitrile spinning solutions. An ammonia inlet is installed after the spinning solution flow meter, and an additional ammonia flow meter is added to control the amount of ammonia charged. A static mixer is installed after the ammonia inlet to ensure that the ammonia is fully mixed with the material before entering the degassing tank, which improves the uniform mixing of ammonia and spinning solution to a certain extent. The reaction between ammonia and PAN stock solution is a complex multiphase reaction. Due to the high viscosity of the PAN stock solution, mass transfer is difficult and hard to control, making it difficult to obtain a spinning solution with uniform ammoniation. The introduced ammonia is only absorbed by the solution at the points of contact, making it difficult to stably control the degree of ammoniation in the system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide an online ammoniation device and method for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, which can achieve full mixing of ammonia gas and high viscosity raw solution, effectively control the degree of ammoniation, and thus improve the hydrophilic stability and spinnability of PAN spinning solution.

[0052] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an online ammoniation method for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, wherein the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is ammoniated using the aforementioned online ammoniation device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution.

[0053] The method is specifically as follows:

[0054] The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the degassing device enters the gas-liquid mixer through the degassing gear pump. The spinning solution is divided into multiple swirling streams by the vortex blades. At the same time, ammonia gas enters the gas chamber through the first ammonia inlet and the second ammonia inlet. The ammonia gas entering the gas chamber enters the hollow structure of the vortex blade through the ammonia vortex blade inlet, and then flows out from the ammonia vortex blade outlet. The outflowing ammonia gas mixes with the spinning solution through counterclockwise and / or clockwise vortexes and then enters the microfluidic mixer. The gas-liquid mixture is divided into multiple microfluids in the axial microfluidic mixing unit and the radial microfluidic mixing unit. The microfluids flow radially, tangentially and axially. After passing through multiple sets of microfluidic mixers, the mixture is continuously divided into multiple microfluids and then mixed and divided to achieve full mixing. The mixture then flows into the storage mixing tank. Under the stirring action of the storage mixing tank, the homogeneity is improved and air bubbles are not entrained. After passing through the spinning gear pump and filter, it is used for stable spinning.

[0055] A further improvement of the present invention is that:

[0056] The ratio of the ammonia molar flow rate at the first ammonia inlet to the ammonia molar flow rate at the second ammonia inlet is 1 to 9:1; and / or,

[0060] The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution has a temperature range of 40–70°C; and / or,

[0061] The flow velocity of the spinning solution in the empty tubes of the gas-liquid mixer and microfluidic mixer ranges from 0.01 to 0.1 m / s.

[0062] A further improvement of the present invention is that:

[0063] The ratio of the molar amount of ammonia to the molar amount of carboxyl groups in itaconic acid in the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution ranges from 0.1 to 1.0; and / or,

[0064] The pH value of the spinning solution after ammonia treatment is controlled within the range of 8.0 to 10.

[0065] A further improvement of the present invention is that:

[0066] The stirring speed range of the storage mixing vessel is 1–60 rpm; and / or,

[0067] The liquid level is lower than the raw material inlet, and is 0.1 to 0.8 times the height of the storage mixing vessel.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0069] 1) The spinning solution is divided into multiple flow zones by the gas-liquid mixer. Under vortex flow, it mixes with ammonia gas from the outlet of multiple ammonia vortex blades, which increases the gas-liquid contact area, promotes the mixing of liquid between vortex blades, and improves the gas-liquid mixing and dissolution efficiency.

[0070] 2) Ammonia gas flows through the gas chamber from the ammonia vortex blade inlet to the ammonia vortex blade outlet on the blade surface, ensuring a uniform flow of ammonia into the vortex blade. The ammonia gas exits from the back pressure surface of the vortex blade, where the lower pressure allows for backflow, ensuring sufficient contact between the entrained ammonia gas and the spinning solution. Ammonia gas enters from both the first and second ammonia inlets, preventing the formation of large bubbles. This stepwise ammoniation process achieves uniform ammoniation degree and improves the ammoniation reaction efficiency.

[0071] 3) The microfluidic mixer, through the staggered arrangement of axial and radial microfluidic mixers, can promote the radial, circumferential and axial flow of the ammoniated spinning solution, and has strong swirling, eddy and shearing effects, which promotes the heat and mass transfer of the spinning solution. It has the characteristics of high mixing efficiency, uniform heating and low pressure drop.

[0072] 4) The feed spinning solution flows along the stirring rod in the storage mixing tank. Under the stirring of the radial upper and middle stirring blades, air bubbles will not be entrained. The mixed ammoniated spinning solution is stirred evenly. The combination of the broken spiral ribbon, arc-shaped blade, lower blade and lower center blade can make the spinning solution stirred evenly and there is no dead zone.

[0073] This invention increases the contact area between ammonia and the high-viscosity polymerization solution by incorporating a gas-liquid mixer, a microfluidic mixer, and a storage mixing tank. This achieves thorough mixing of ammonia and the high-viscosity raw material, effectively controlling the degree of ammoniation and thus improving the hydrophilic stability of the PAN spinning solution. It can stabilize the degree of ammoniation of the spinning solution and also features a compact structure and high stability, significantly reducing equipment investment and production costs, and has good application prospects.

Detailed Implementation

[0083] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0084] like Figures 1-8As shown, the present invention provides an online ammoniation device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, comprising a degassing device 1, a degassing gear pump 2, a gas-liquid mixer 5, a microfluidic mixer 6, a storage mixing tank 7, a spinning gear pump 8, and a filter 9 connected in sequence.

[0085] The gas-liquid mixer 5 is connected to an ammonia cylinder 3 via a pipeline, and a gas flow meter 4 is installed on the pipeline.

[0086] The bottom outlet of the degassing device 1 is connected to the inlet of the degassing gear pump 2. The outlet of the degassing gear pump 2 is connected to the liquid phase inlet 51 of the gas-liquid mixer 5. The ammonia cylinder 3 is connected to the first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53 of the gas-liquid mixer 5 through the first pipe and the second pipe, respectively. Gas flow meters 4 are installed on the first pipe and the second pipe, respectively. The gas-liquid mixture outlet 59 of the gas-liquid mixer 5 is connected to the material inlet 61 of the microfluidic mixer 6. The material outlet 65 of the microfluidic mixer 6 is connected to the raw liquid inlet 71 of the storage mixing vessel 7. The bottom outlet of the storage mixing vessel 7 is connected to the spinning gear pump 8. The spinning gear pump 8 is connected to the filter 9.

[0087] The polyacrylonitrile polymerization solution in the degassing device 1 enters the gas-liquid mixer 5 through the degassing gear pump 2. The solution is divided into multiple swirling streams in the gas-liquid mixer 5. Ammonia gas is metered from the ammonia gas cylinder 3 through the gas flow meter 4 and then introduced into the gas-liquid mixer 5. After being mixed with the spinning solution by multiple sets of vortex components in a counterclockwise and / or clockwise vortex, it enters the microfluidic mixer 6. Through the process of continuously dividing into multiple microfluids and then mixing and dividing, full mixing is achieved. After that, it flows into the storage mixing tank 7. Under the stirring action of the storage mixing tank 7, the homogeneity is improved and no air bubbles are entrained. Then, it passes through the spinning gear pump 8 and the filter 9 in sequence for stable spinning. This achieves full mixing of ammonia gas and high viscosity dope, effectively controls the degree of ammoniaization, and thus improves the hydrophilic stability and spinnability of the PAN spinning solution.

[0088] Among them, the defoaming device 1, the defoaming gear pump 2, the spinning gear pump 8 and the filter 9 all use existing conventional equipment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0089] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the online ammonia treatment device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution provided by the present invention can be equipped with multiple gas-liquid mixers 5 in series, preferably 1 to 10, and adjacent gas-liquid mixers 5 can be connected by any means such as flanges, threads or clamps, without specific limitations.

[0090] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the gas-liquid mixer 5 includes a liquid inlet 51, a vortex assembly, and a gas-liquid mixture outlet 59 connected in sequence. The vortex assembly includes a central shaft 58 of the gas-liquid mixer. A clockwise vortex assembly and a counterclockwise vortex assembly are provided on the outer wall of the central shaft 58, and both the clockwise and counterclockwise vortex assemblies are welded to the central shaft 58 for limiting and fixing. A gas chamber 54 is sleeved on the outer side of the clockwise and counterclockwise vortex assemblies. A first ammonia inlet 52 and a second ammonia inlet 53 are provided on the outer wall of the gas chamber 54. The first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53 are located in the middle region of the gas chamber 54, preferably at 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the length of the gas chamber 54. The first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53 are respectively connected to an ammonia cylinder 3 through pipes, and the ammonia in the ammonia cylinder 3 enters the gas chamber 54 through the first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53.

[0091] Furthermore, the clockwise vortex assembly consists of 2 to 30 vortex blades 57, which are arranged clockwise on the outer wall of the central shaft 58 of the gas-liquid mixer. The clockwise twist angle is 10 to 90°. The width of the vortex blades 57 gradually increases from one end to the other. A housing is provided between the ends of two adjacent vortex blades 57 that are away from the central shaft 58 of the gas-liquid mixer. The ratio of the length of the vortex blades to the diameter of the clockwise vortex assembly is 0.5 to 2.0.

[0092] Furthermore, the counterclockwise vortex assembly consists of 2 to 30 vortex blades 57, which are arranged counterclockwise on the outer wall of the central shaft 58 of the gas-liquid mixer, with a counterclockwise twist angle of 10 to 90°. The width of the vortex blades 57 gradually increases from one end to the other. A housing is provided between the ends of two adjacent vortex blades 57 that are away from the central shaft 58 of the gas-liquid mixer. The ratio of the length of the vortex blades to the diameter of the counterclockwise vortex assembly is 0.5 to 2.0.

[0093] The wider end of the vortex blade 57 in the clockwise vortex assembly is connected to the narrower end of the vortex blade 57 in the counterclockwise vortex assembly.

[0094] Furthermore, both the clockwise and counterclockwise vortex components have ammonia vortex blade inlet 55 and ammonia vortex blade outlet 56 on the vortex blade 57. Specifically, the vortex blade 57 is a hollow structure, and 1 to 10 1 to 5 mm vent holes are provided on the end face of the vortex blade 57 away from the central axis 58 of the gas-liquid mixer. These vent holes are the ammonia vortex blade inlet 55. The inner side of the torsion surface of the vortex blade 57 (i.e., the torsion direction side) is provided with small holes with a diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 mm. These small holes are the ammonia vortex blade outlet 56, and there are 1 to 5 rows of these small holes, with 5 to 20 holes in each row. Ammonia gas entering the gas chamber 54 through the first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53 enters the hollow structure of the vortex blade 57 through the ammonia vortex blade inlet 55, and then flows out through the ammonia vortex blade outlet 56. The outflowing ammonia gas mixes with the spinning solution entering through the liquid inlet 51.

[0095] Since the pressure of ammonia gas at the outlet 56 of the ammonia vortex blade is greater than the pressure of the spinning solution at that point, and the pressure of the spinning solution is lower at that point due to the torsion of the vortex blade 57, the spinning solution will not enter the hollow structure of the vortex blade 57.

[0096] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the online ammonia treatment device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution provided by the present invention can be equipped with multiple microfluidic mixers 6 in series, preferably 2 to 10, and adjacent microfluidic mixers 6 can be connected by any means such as flange, thread or clamp, without specific limitation.

[0097] The microfluidic mixer 6 includes a microfluidic mixer housing, with a material inlet 61 at one end and a material outlet 65 at the other end. An axial microfluidic mixing unit and a radial microfluidic mixing unit are provided inside the microfluidic mixer housing between the material inlet 61 and the material outlet 65.

[0098] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the axial microfluidic mixing unit includes a microfluidic mixer central shaft 63. Multiple axial swirl vanes 62 are arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the central shaft 63. These vanes can be arranged tangentially, circumferentially along the center direction, uniformly in any direction, or randomly in any direction. Preferably, there are 20 to 100 axial swirl vanes 62.

[0099] An axial swirl vane 62 is composed of 3 to 50 swirl unit vanes connected along the axis. The twist angle of a single swirl unit vane is 180° to 360°, and the ratio of the length of a single swirl unit vane after twisting to the maximum diameter of an axial swirl vane 62 is 1 to 5. The maximum diameter of an axial swirl vane 62 is 0.05 to 0.2 of the inner diameter of the microfluidic mixer shell.

[0100] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the radial microfluidic mixing unit is composed of 5 to 20 layers of radial swirl vanes 64 arranged in an alternating pattern. The initial arrangement positions can be uniformly arranged in any direction or randomly arranged in any direction.

[0101] A radial swirl vane 64 is composed of 2 to 10 swirl unit vanes arranged and connected radially. The twist angle of a single swirl unit vane is 180° to 360°, and the ratio of the length of a single swirl unit vane after twisting to the maximum diameter of the radial swirl vane 64 is 1 to 5. The ratio of the diameter of the radial swirl vane to the inner diameter of the microfluidic mixer shell is 0.05 to 0.2.

[0102] It should be noted that the swirl unit plates that make up the axial swirl vane and the swirl unit plates that make up the radial swirl vane can have the same or different structures, as long as the structural requirements are met.

[0103] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the storage mixing vessel 7 includes a storage mixing vessel body. A stirring rod is arranged along the axial direction inside the storage mixing vessel body. The stirring rod is provided with an upper impeller 72, a middle impeller 73, a lower impeller 75, and a lower center impeller 76 arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0104] The upper impeller 72 and the middle impeller 73 are radial flow mixing impellers such as two-blade straight blades, three-blade swept blades, and Burmäkin type. The diameter of the upper impeller 72 and the middle impeller 73 is 0.7 to 0.95 of the inner diameter of the storage mixing vessel. The upper impeller 72 and the middle impeller 73 are arranged alternately, that is, the axes of the upper impeller 72 and the middle impeller 73 are perpendicular to each other in the same plane.

[0105] A broken spiral band 74 is provided between the middle layer blade 73 and the lower layer blade 75. When the broken spiral band 74 rotates, it can stir the liquid near the wall between the middle layer blade 73 and the lower layer blade 75, so that the liquid spirals up along the tank wall and then flows down along the blade shaft, forming an axial circulation flow inside the liquid, which has a good vertical circulation capability.

[0106] The lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76 are anchor-type, frame-type, or bottom-arc-type impellers. The diameter of the lower impeller 75 is 0.9 to 0.98 times the inner diameter of the storage mixing vessel body, and the diameter of the lower center impeller 76 is 0.4 to 0.6 times the inner diameter of the storage mixing vessel body. The lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76 are arranged alternately, meaning that the axes of the lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76 are perpendicular to each other in the same plane. An arc-shaped impeller 77 is provided between the lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76. The function of the arc-shaped impeller 77 is to stir the liquid between the lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76, resulting in a certain radial and axial mixing flow, and also to fix the lower impeller 75 and the lower center impeller 76.

[0107] The top of the storage mixing vessel is provided with a raw liquid inlet, and a raw liquid feed pipe is inserted into the raw liquid inlet. The raw liquid feed pipe is located at one end of the storage mixing vessel body, close to the stirring shaft, and 10-50mm away from the stirring shaft.

[0108] A liquid-limiting ring 78 is provided at the upper part of the stirring rod, located below the end of the raw liquid inlet pipe. The upper opening of the liquid-limiting ring 78 is relatively large, with a diameter of 1 / 10 to 1 / 5 of the inner diameter of the storage mixing vessel body, while the lower opening is relatively small, with a diameter of 1 / 8 to 1 / 2 of the upper opening diameter. The length of the liquid-limiting ring 78 is 0.5 to 2.0 mm of the upper opening diameter, resembling a funnel shape. The annular gap width between the lower opening and the stirring shaft is 1 to 10 mm.

[0109] The spinning solution entering through the feed pipe enters the liquid-limiting ring 78. Part of the spinning solution flows into the liquid phase body along the stirring shaft through the annular gap between the lower opening and the stirring shaft. Another part of the spinning solution accumulates at the upper opening of the liquid-limiting ring and overflows from the outer edge of the upper opening, flowing downward along the outer wall and the stirring shaft. Subsequently, the spinning solution enters the liquid phase body along the stirring shaft.

[0110] By setting a liquid limiting ring 78, the spinning solution is received through the liquid limiting ring 78 and allowed to flow downward along the stirring axis into the liquid phase body, thus preventing the spinning solution from falling directly into the liquid phase body and thus entraining a large number of air bubbles, which would affect subsequent spinning.

[0111] This invention also provides an online amination method for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, wherein the above-mentioned online amination device for polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is used to amination the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, specifically as follows:

[0112] The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the degassing device 1 enters the gas-liquid mixer 5 through the degassing gear pump 2. The spinning solution is divided into multiple swirling streams by the vortex blades 57. Simultaneously, ammonia gas from the ammonia cylinder 3, after being metered by the gas flow meter 4, enters the gas chamber 54 through the first ammonia inlet 52 and the second ammonia inlet 53. The ammonia gas entering the gas chamber 54 enters the hollow structure of the vortex blades 57 through the ammonia vortex blade inlet 55, and then flows out from the ammonia vortex blade outlet 56. The outflowing ammonia gas and the spinning solution flow counterclockwise and... / Or after clockwise vortex mixing, it enters the microfluidic mixer 6. The gas-liquid mixture is divided into multiple microfluids in the axial microfluidic mixing unit and the radial microfluidic mixing unit. It flows along the radial, tangential and axial directions. After passing through multiple sets of microfluidic mixers 6, it is fully mixed by continuously dividing it into multiple microfluids and then mixing and dividing it. Then it flows into the storage mixing tank 7. Under the stirring action of the storage mixing tank 7, the homogeneity is improved and no air bubbles are entrained. After passing through the spinning gear pump 8 and the filter 9, it is used for stable spinning.

[0113] The temperature range of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 40–70°C, and the flow velocity of the spinning solution in the empty tubes of the gas-liquid mixer 5 and the microfluidic mixer 6 ranges from 0.01 to 0.1 m / s.

[0114] The ammonia temperature ranges from 20 to 40°C, and the ammonia gas velocity at the ammonia vortex blade outlet 56 ranges from 0.001 to 0.01 m / s.

[0115] The ratio of the number of moles of ammonia to the number of moles of carboxyl groups in itaconic acid in the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution ranges from 0.1 to 1.0.

[0116] The ratio of the ammonia molar flow rate of the first ammonia inlet 52 to the ammonia molar flow rate of the second ammonia inlet 53 is 1 to 9:1.

[0117] The pH value of the spinning solution after ammonia treatment is controlled within the range of 8.0 to 10.

[0118] The stirring speed of the storage mixing vessel 7 is in the range of 1 to 60 rpm, and the liquid level is lower than the raw liquid inlet 71, which is 0.1 to 0.8 times the height of the storage mixing vessel 7.

19. A method for online amination of polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, characterized in that, The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is ammoniated using the online ammoniation device according to any one of claims 8-18; the method is as follows: The polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the degassing device enters the gas-liquid mixer through the degassing gear pump. The spinning solution is divided into multiple swirling streams by the vortex blades. At the same time, ammonia gas enters the gas chamber through the first ammonia inlet and the second ammonia inlet. The ammonia gas entering the gas chamber enters the hollow structure of the vortex blade through the ammonia vortex blade inlet, and then flows out from the ammonia vortex blade outlet. The outflowing ammonia gas mixes with the spinning solution through counterclockwise and / or clockwise vortexes and then enters the microfluidic mixer. The gas-liquid mixture is divided into multiple microfluids in the axial microfluidic mixing unit and the radial microfluidic mixing unit. The microfluids flow radially, tangentially and axially. After passing through multiple sets of microfluidic mixers, the mixture is continuously divided into multiple microfluids and then mixed and divided to achieve full mixing. The mixture then flows into the storage mixing tank. Under the stirring action of the storage mixing tank, the homogeneity is improved and air bubbles are not entrained. After passing through the spinning gear pump and filter, it is used for stable spinning.
