[0040] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0041] The first aspect of the present invention provides a microchannel reactor, comprising: Figure 1A gas phase plate 10 and a microchannel reaction plate 20 are stacked (in the horizontal direction), a plurality of mutually isolated gas phase chambers 11 are formed on the side of the gas phase plate 10 facing the microchannel reaction plate 20, and a plurality of gas inlets 12 respectively connected to the plurality of gas phase chambers 11 are arranged on the gas phase plate 10; a plurality of fluid-connected microchannel areas 21 are formed on the side of the microchannel reaction plate 20 facing the gas phase plate 10, the plurality of microchannel areas 21 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of gas phase chambers 11, the arrangement direction of the plurality of microchannel areas 21 is consistent with the flow direction of the fluid, and a microporous membrane 30 is sealed between each microchannel area 21 and the corresponding gas phase chamber 11.
[0042] It is understood that the microchannel reaction plate 20 has a microchannel 22, and the above fluid flow direction is understood to be the flow direction of the fluid in the microchannel 22. The microporous membrane 30 seals the gas phase chamber 11 into a closed space. Figure 1 As shown, a first sealing ring 25 may be disposed on the outer periphery of the microporous membrane 30 to achieve a sealed arrangement of the microporous membrane 30 .
[0043] Through the above technical scheme, the microchannel reactor of the present invention is not only small in size and simple in structure, but also when in use, the gas in the gas phase chamber 11 can enter the microchannel of the microchannel reaction plate 20 in the form of microbubbles through the microporous membrane 30, so that the gas phase is fully mixed with the liquid phase in the microchannel; in addition, since the microchannel 22 is usually a slender structure, a pressure drop will occur during the flow of the liquid in the microchannel 22, so that the liquid pressure at different positions of the microchannel 22 is different, and the pressure difference between the liquid pressure of different microchannel areas 21 and the air pressure of the corresponding gas phase chamber 11 is different. By setting a plurality of independent closed gas phase chambers 11, the present invention can respectively inlet air into the plurality of gas phase chambers 11 through a plurality of air inlets 12, so that the air pressure of the plurality of gas phase chambers 11 can be independently regulated, and the liquid in the microchannel can be prevented from reversely entering the gas phase chamber 11 to form a short circuit while reducing energy consumption, ensuring that the gas phase reactants in the gas phase chamber 11 smoothly pass through the microporous membrane 30 into the microchannel, thereby effectively improving the reaction efficiency.
[0044] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gas phase plate 10 is a plate structure, and the gas phase chamber 11 is defined and formed by the grooves on the side of the gas phase plate 10 and the microporous membrane 30 .
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the microchannel reaction plate 20 is a plate structure, and the microchannel 22 is defined by the grooves on the side of the microchannel reaction plate 20 and the microporous membrane 30. The diameter of the microchannel 22 is preferably 50-2000 μm, and the microchannel 22 may include a plurality of mixed structures arranged along the extension direction thereof, wherein the shape of the mixed structure can be designed into different shapes according to different reaction systems, such as umbrella-shaped, heart-shaped (such as Figure 4As shown), linear, O-type or a mixture of these types, etc.
[0046] The microporous membrane 30 is a porous structure, which can be an inorganic ceramic membrane, a metal sintered membrane or other microporous structure materials. The microporous membrane 30 has good filtering and high temperature resistance. The gas can pass through the microporous membrane 30 into the microchannel 22 in the form of microbubbles and fully mix with the medium in the microchannel 22.
[0047] When the above-mentioned microchannel reactor is applied to gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction, the gas phase and the solid-liquid mixture are respectively located on both sides of the microporous membrane 30, and the pore size of the microporous membrane 30 can be selected according to the particle size of the solid particles to ensure that the pore size of the microporous membrane 30 is smaller than the particle size of the solid particles. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pore size of the microporous membrane 30 is 50-1000nm, gas and liquid can pass through the membrane pores, and has an excellent interception effect on solid particles larger than the membrane pore size.
[0048] In the present invention, in order to achieve reliable fixation of the microporous membrane 30 , a groove for embedding the microporous membrane 30 may be provided on the gas phase plate 10 or the microchannel reaction plate 20 , and the depth of the groove is consistent with the thickness of the microporous membrane 30 .
[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 The plurality of microchannel regions 21 and the plurality of gas phase chambers 11 are respectively arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction (see Figure 1 The microchannels 22 on the microchannel reaction plate 20 are arranged in a gut-shaped arrangement along the second direction, and the microchannel reaction plate 20 is provided with a microchannel inlet 23 and a microchannel outlet 24 respectively connected to both ends of the microchannels 22. The second direction can be understood as the direction from the microchannel inlet 23 to the microchannel outlet 24.
[0050] When the reactants include multiple liquid media, the microchannel reaction plate 20 may have multiple microchannel inlets 23 .
[0051] In the present invention, in order to facilitate the gas phase reactants to enter the microchannel 22, as Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of gas inlets 12 are preferably disposed on a side of the gas phase plate 10 facing away from the microchannel reaction plate 20 , and the gas inlet direction of the gas inlet 12 is along a first direction.
[0052] The second aspect of the present invention provides a microchannel reaction device, including a gas pressure control system 40 and the above-mentioned microchannel reactor, wherein the gas pressure control system 40 is respectively connected to a plurality of gas inlets 12, so as to be used to respectively supply gas to a plurality of gas phase chambers 11 and control the pressure of the plurality of gas phase chambers 11. In other words, the gas pressure control system 40 is used to provide a stable pressure for different gas phase chambers 11 of the gas phase plate 10, so as to ensure that the gas phase reactants smoothly enter the microchannel.
[0053] The air pressure control system 40 is configured to make the pressure of each gas phase chamber 11 slightly greater than the sum of the corresponding microchannel zone 21 fluid pressure and the pressure drop of the microporous membrane 30. In other words, the air pressure of the gas phase chamber 11 does not need to be too high, as long as the gas phase chamber 11 is at a slightly positive pressure.
[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the air pressure control system 40 includes an intake manifold 41 and a plurality of intake branches 42 respectively connected to the plurality of intake ports 12. The plurality of intake branches 42 are connected to the plurality of intake ports 12 one by one, and a control valve 43 and a flow meter 44 are provided on each intake branch 42. The control valve 43 may be a back pressure valve or a needle valve.
[0055] In some embodiments, the microchannel reaction device may further include a heat exchange plate 50, which is attached to the side of the microchannel reaction plate 20 facing away from the gas phase plate 10. The heat exchange plate 50 has a heat exchange channel 51 and a medium inlet 52 and a medium outlet 53 respectively connected to the two ends of the heat exchange channel 51. The heat exchange channel 51 is sealed and defined by the groove on the heat exchange plate 50 and the side of the microchannel reaction plate 20. The microchannel reaction plate 20 and the heat exchange plate 50 can be sealed with a second sealing ring 55.
[0056] The function of the heat exchange plate 50 is to ensure the constant reaction temperature in the microchannel. When the chemical reaction in the microchannel is an exothermic reaction, a coolant can be introduced into the heat exchange plate 50 to promptly remove the reaction heat; when the chemical reaction in the microchannel is an endothermic reaction, hot water or heat transfer oil can be introduced into the heat exchange plate 50 to provide heat for the reaction. The flow direction of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange plate 50 is preferably opposite to the flow direction of the medium in the microchannel to achieve a better heat exchange effect. That is, the medium inlet 52 and the medium outlet 53 of the heat exchange plate 50 correspond to the microchannel outlet 24 and the microchannel inlet 23 of the microchannel reaction plate 20, respectively (see Figure 1 ).
[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the extension mode of the heat exchange channel 51 of the heat exchange plate 50 is preferably consistent with the microchannel 22 to extend the heat exchange time and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the microchannel reaction device may include two relatively stacked microchannel reactors, the heat exchange plate 50 is sandwiched between the two microchannel reaction plates 20, and the microchannels 22 fluids of the two microchannel reaction plates 20 are connected in series. That is to say, the microchannel reaction device includes a gas phase plate 10, a microchannel reaction plate 20, a heat exchange plate 50, a microchannel reaction plate 20, and a gas phase plate 10 stacked in sequence along a first direction. In this way, the two microchannel reactors form a series structure, and the reactants enter from the microchannel inlet 23 of the first microchannel reaction plate 20, flow out from the microchannel outlet 24 of the first microchannel reaction plate 20, and then enter the microchannel inlet 23 of the second microchannel reaction plate 20, and finally flow out from the microchannel outlet 24 of the second microchannel reaction plate 20. After completing the reaction in the previous microchannel reactor, the reactants can enter the next microchannel reactor to continue the reaction, so that the reaction is more thorough. In this case, as Figure 7 As shown, the heat exchange channel 51 of the heat exchange plate 50 may be a through groove structure, so as to simultaneously exchange heat for two microchannel reaction plates 20. Sealing grooves 54 for embedding the second sealing ring 55 may be provided on both sides of the heat exchange plate 50, respectively.
[0059] It should be noted that the gas phase plate 10, the microchannel reaction plate 20, and the heat exchange plate 50 are fixedly connected. Figure 1-Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the gas phase plate 10, the microchannel reaction plate 20, and the heat exchange plate 50 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the gas phase plate 10, the microchannel reaction plate 20, and the heat exchange plate 50 are respectively provided with fixing holes 00 for the bolts to pass through.
[0060] A third aspect of the present invention provides a microchannel reaction method, comprising the following steps:
[0061] S1, introducing a liquid-phase reactant or a solid-liquid mixture formed by a liquid-phase reactant and a solid-phase reactant into the microchannel 22 from the microchannel inlet 23 and allowing it to flow along the microchannel 22 toward the microchannel outlet 24;
[0062] S2. During the above flow process, the gas phase reactants are continuously introduced into the microchannel 22 in the form of microbubbles in a manner of decreasing pressure along the flow direction, and are fully mixed and reacted with the liquid phase reactants or the solid-liquid mixture.
[0063] The microchannel reaction method of the present invention is different from the two existing reaction methods. It does not require the gas-liquid phase medium to be pre-mixed outside the reactor, nor is the gas and liquid introduced into the microchannel through two inlets. Instead, the liquid phase medium or the liquid-solid mixed medium is introduced into the microchannel 22 from the microchannel inlet 23. As the medium flows in the microchannel 22 toward the microchannel outlet 24, gas is continuously added. The gas enters the microchannel 22 in the form of microbubbles and is fully mixed with the liquid phase medium or the liquid-solid mixed medium, which has the advantages of good mixing effect and high reaction efficiency.
[0064] Wherein, the step S1 further comprises: grinding the solid-phase reactant into a powder with an average particle size of less than 2 μm, and premixing the powder with the liquid-phase reactant to form a solid-liquid mixture.
[0065] The present invention provides a gas-liquid-solid three-phase microchannel reaction method through the above technical scheme, so that the microchannel is suitable for gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction, thereby filling the technical gap that the existing continuous flow microchannel reactor is not suitable for gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction.
[0066] The microchannel reaction method of the present invention can be carried out using the microchannel reaction device of the present invention. Of course, it can also be carried out using other different reaction devices.
[0067] So far, various embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the concept of the present invention, some details known in the art are not described. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solution disclosed herein.
[0068] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified or some technical features may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features mentioned in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner as long as there is no structural conflict.
