Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a gas-liquid mixing component and application thereof in cumene oxidation. Background Art

[0002] Multiphase reactions such as hydrogenation and oxidation are widely used in process industries, such as benzene hydrogenation, PX air oxidation, and diesel fixed-bed hydrogenation. These reaction processes are severely restricted by heat transfer rate and mass transfer rate, which in turn affects the overall efficiency of the reaction. The fundamental reason is that the interphase area between gas and liquid, and between gas, liquid and solid is too small. Taking the traditional bubbling air oxidation reactor as an example, since the bubble diameter is generally between 5-30mm, under normal pressure conditions, the interphase area between gas and liquid phase is usually 20-300m 2 ·m -3 , and in most cases less than 100m 2 ·m -3 Therefore, in industrial practice, people usually adopt methods such as increasing the gas circulation volume or adding internal components of the reactor to enhance mass transfer and improve the reaction, but the effect is very limited.

[0003] The principle of microinterface enhanced reaction technology (MIR) is to efficiently control the geometric scale of gas-liquid, gas-liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid interfaces from milli-centimeter level to micrometer level, which greatly increases the interfacial area by orders of magnitude. When the bubbles are gradually reduced from several millimeters to micrometer level, the gas-liquid mass transfer rate and reaction rate will be significantly enhanced, thereby doubling the efficiency of the chemical production process, significantly reducing energy consumption and material consumption, and improving safety and environmental protection performance. The key to microinterface enhanced reaction technology lies in the enhanced mixing between multiple phases, such as the enhanced mixing of gas and liquid phases. Therefore, the preparation of microbubbles is particularly important. Existing technologies have gradually developed microbubble preparation methods suitable for different occasions. Specifically, according to the generation method of microbubbles, they are mainly divided into the following types: (1) shearing and breaking bubbles, such as Venturi-type microbubble generators; (2) pressure reduction or temperature increase bubbles, such as pressure dissolution microbubble generators; (3) ultrasonic bubble formation; (4) microporous bubble formation, such as microporous plastics, rubber and ceramic tubes.

[0004] In the existing technology, gas-liquid two-phase enhanced mixing technology is mainly used in water treatment, aquaculture, and medicine, and is less used in chemical production. The reason is that it is difficult to scale up the micromixer. One of the core problems is how to prepare microbubbles on a large scale and with high throughput. Another problem is that the preparation of microbubbles under high gas-liquid ratio conditions has certain technical limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0044] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a gas-liquid mixing component, including an injection pipe 10 and a porous material membrane tube 20, the injection pipe 10 and the porous material membrane tube 20 are coaxially connected to form a continuous internal flow channel for liquid to flow through, the injection pipe 10 includes a liquid inlet section 11, a throttling section 12, an air inlet section 13 and a gas-liquid two-phase development section 14 arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the liquid, the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid inlet section 11 is equal to that of the air inlet section 13 and is larger than the flow channel cross-sectional area of ​​the throttling section 12, and the air inlet section 13 and the porous material membrane tube 20 are respectively provided with a pore structure for introducing gas into the internal flow channel.

[0045] The gas-liquid mixing component provided by the present invention, when in use, the liquid enters from the end of the injection tube 10 away from the porous material membrane tube 20 and passes through the internal flow channels of the injection tube 10 and the porous material membrane tube 20 in sequence, and the gas enters the internal flow channel through the air inlet section 13 of the injection tube 10 and the porous material membrane tube 20, and mixes with the liquid to form a gas-liquid mixture.

[0046] The present invention provides two gas-liquid mixing areas in the flow direction of the liquid, and gas can be introduced into the internal flow channel in both gas-liquid mixing areas, thereby ensuring the mixing efficiency of the gas-liquid two phases under high flux and high gas-liquid ratio conditions. Specifically, by setting the injection pipe 10 as a liquid inlet section 11, a throttling section 12, an air inlet section 13 and a gas-liquid two-phase development section 14 connected in sequence, in the process of the liquid entering the throttling section 12 through the liquid inlet section 11, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel becomes smaller and the flow rate of the liquid becomes faster. When entering the air inlet section 13, the pressure inside the liquid suddenly drops sharply, causing the liquid to quickly diffuse to the surrounding area, generating violent eddy currents and turbulence. This part of the liquid and the gas entering through the air inlet section 13 undergo violent mixing friction to form a primary gas-liquid mixture rich in small bubbles. The gas and the liquid continue to interact and mix in the process of flowing through the gas-liquid two-phase development section 14, so that the mixing of the gas-liquid two phases is more sufficient; further, the primary gas-liquid mixture rich in small bubbles enters the internal flow channel of the porous material membrane tube 20, and the gas entering the internal flow channel through the tube wall of the porous material membrane tube 20 is remixed with the primary gas-liquid mixture, which can not only effectively improve the gas-liquid ratio of the gas-liquid mixture, but also improve the bubble density in the gas-liquid mixture, thereby promoting sufficient mixing of the gas-liquid two phases.

[0047] In the gas-liquid mixing component provided by the present invention, by setting up two gas-liquid mixing zones and cooperating with the injection tube 10 and the porous material membrane tube 20 to gradually mix the gas-liquid two phases, efficient mixing of the gas-liquid two phases under high flux and high gas-liquid ratio conditions is achieved, effectively overcoming the defect of the existing technology that a large number of micro-nano bubbles cannot be formed under high flux and high gas-liquid ratio conditions.

[0048] In the present invention, the length of the gas-liquid mixing assembly is designed according to the required gas flux and gas-liquid ratio, and the number of the gas-liquid mixing assemblies in parallel is designed according to the required liquid phase flux to meet the needs of high flux and high gas-liquid ratio. In some embodiments, the liquid phase flux of the gas-liquid mixing assembly is 30-1000 L / h, preferably 60-300 L / h; the gas phase flux of the gas-liquid mixing assembly is 30-10000 L / h, preferably 60-1200 L / h; the gas-liquid volume ratio per unit length is 0.1-10m -1 ; preferably 0.5-4m -1 .

[0049] It is understandable that the outer diameter of the gas-liquid mixing component is adaptively selected according to actual applications. In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the gas-liquid mixing component is 10-50 mm, preferably 20-30 mm.

[0050] In the present invention, the injection pipe 10 is based on the Venturi principle, utilizing the throttling section 12 to generate intense eddies and turbulence in the liquid, thereby achieving efficient mixing with the gas entering the internal flow channel through the air inlet section 13. In one embodiment of the present invention, a sieve plate 15 is provided at the throttling section 12, and the sieve plate 15 is provided with a plurality of sieve holes 151. By providing the sieve plate 15 with a plurality of sieve holes 151 in the liquid flow path, the liquid passing through the throttling section 12 is fully disturbed, thereby promoting efficient mixing between the liquid and the gas.

[0051] In the present invention, the diameter and number of the sieve holes 151 can be adaptively selected according to the specific type of the liquid, so as to enable the liquid to generate sufficient eddy currents and turbulence in the air inlet section 13, thereby achieving efficient mixing of the liquid and gas. In some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the sieve holes 151 is 1-3 mm, and the number of the sieve holes 151 is 1-30, preferably 4-12.

[0052] In some embodiments, the angle between the axial direction of the sieve hole 151 and the cross section of the injection pipe 10 perpendicular to the length direction is 90°; at this time, the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet section 11 directly enters the multiple sieve holes 151 of the sieve plate 15, and after being compressed and accelerated, enters the air inlet section 13 for release.

[0053] In some embodiments, the angle between the axis of the sieve holes 151 and the cross-section of the injection pipe 10 perpendicular to its length is 30°-60°. In this case, the liquid flowing through the liquid inlet section 11 changes direction upon entering the multiple sieve holes 151 of the sieve plate 15, further increasing the turbulence of the liquid after passing through the throttling section 12 and promoting more complete mixing of the liquid with the gas entering the internal flow channel through the gas inlet section 13.

[0054] In the present invention, the end of the air inlet section 13 near the throttle section 12 is spaced apart from the liquid outlet end of the throttle section 12. Due to the compression and acceleration of the throttle section 12, the liquid generates intense eddy currents and turbulence upon leaving the throttle section 12. This spacing provides space for these eddy currents and turbulence. Preferably, the spacing between the end of the air inlet section 13 near the throttle section 12 and the liquid outlet end of the throttle section 12 is 1-10 mm, more preferably 2-5 mm.

[0055] When the gas-liquid mixing assembly provided by the present invention is in use, a portion of the gas enters the internal flow channel of the injection tube 10 through the air inlet section 13 of the injection tube 10, mixing with the liquid in the internal flow channel to form a gas-liquid mixture. In some embodiments, the tube wall of the injection tube 10 located at the air inlet section 13 is configured as a porous metal sintered membrane, and the average pore size of the metal sintered membrane is 1-50μm, preferably 1-20μm. Specifically, the metal material used to prepare the metal sintered membrane is titanium, carbon steel, stainless steel, or Hastelloy alloy, preferably stainless steel or Hastelloy alloy.

[0056] Furthermore, in the present invention, another portion of the gas enters the internal flow channel through the porous material membrane tube 20 and further mixes with the primary gas-liquid mixture formed by the injection tube 10 to form a further refined gas-liquid mixture. In some embodiments, the base material of the porous material membrane tube 20 is selected from one of stainless steel, quartz, alumina, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene, preferably stainless steel or alumina. The pore size of the porous material membrane tube 20 is 1-100 μm, preferably 3-10 μm.

[0057] It can be understood that by preforming the base material used to prepare the porous material membrane tube 20 into a tube shape and combining it with a sintering treatment, a porous material membrane tube 20 with an internal flow channel and a porous tube wall structure can be obtained. During specific use, the liquid flows in the internal flow channel, and the gas penetrates into the internal flow channel through the porous structure on the tube wall, mixes with the liquid, and forms a gas-liquid mixture.

[0058] In some embodiments, the porous material membrane tube 20 is provided with a plurality of channels 21 extending along its axial direction, and the plurality of channels 21 are combined to form the internal flow channel for the liquid to flow through the porous material membrane tube 20; by providing the plurality of channels 21, the contact area between the gas and the liquid is significantly improved, the aeration area is increased, and the gas flux and the gas-liquid ratio are improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, the number of the channels 21 is 9-60, preferably 18-40.

[0060] In some embodiments, a porous coating is provided on the inner wall of each channel 21. Further preferably, the porous coating has a pore size of 20-800 nm, preferably 150-600 nm. By providing a nanoscale porous coating in the channel 21, gas penetrates through the porous coating into the internal flow channel, promoting the generation of more tiny bubbles.

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the porous structure coating is formed by sintering a nano material, and the nano material is an oxide, preferably aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide.

[0062] In the present invention, the porous material membrane tube 20 serves as a place for secondary gas-liquid mixing. Gas is introduced into the internal flow channel through the porous structure tube wall of the porous material membrane tube 20, and then mixed with the primary gas-liquid mixture formed by the injection tube 10, thereby effectively improving the gas-liquid ratio in the gas-liquid mixture.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, each channel 21 is of a constant diameter structure, that is, the inner diameter of the channel 21 is always the same from the liquid inlet end to the liquid outlet end of the porous material membrane tube 20. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the channel 21 is 1-6 mm, preferably 2-4 mm.

[0064] In another embodiment of the present invention, each channel 21 includes a tapered inner section 211 and a widening inner section 212, arranged sequentially along the flow direction of the liquid. In some embodiments, the diameter of the large-diameter end of the tapered inner section 211 is 2 mm, and the diameter of the small-diameter end is 1 mm; the diameter of the small-diameter end of the widening inner section 212 is 1 mm, and the diameter of the large-diameter end is 2 mm. Furthermore, the length ratio of the widening inner section 212 to the tapered inner section 211 is 1-5:1, preferably 1.5-2.5:1.

[0065] In some embodiments, the gas-liquid mixing assembly further includes a filling tube 30, which is disposed at one end of the porous material membrane tube 20 away from the injection tube 10 and is filled with a filler 31. The gas-liquid mixture formed by the injection tube 10 and the porous material membrane tube 20 is introduced into the filling tube 30 filled with the filler 31, and the filler 31 is used to shear and split unstable large bubbles in the gas-liquid mixture again to further form tiny bubbles.

[0066] It is understood that the length of the filling tube 30 directly affects the degree to which the filler 31 re-shears and divides the gas-liquid mixture, but the bubbles in the gas-liquid mixture are not further refined as the length of the filling tube 30 increases. In some embodiments, the length of the filling tube 30 is 1-30% of the length of the porous material membrane tube 20, preferably 5-10%.

[0067] In some embodiments, the size of the filler 31 is 1-10 mm, preferably 2-5 mm.

[0068] It should be noted that the type of the filler 31 can be any type known to those skilled in the art, as long as it can achieve re-shearing and segmenting of large bubbles in the gas-liquid mixture. In some embodiments, the filler 31 is a Pall ring, a Raschig ring, a corrugated mesh, or a hollow sphere, preferably a corrugated mesh or a hollow sphere.

[0069] The filler 31 may be made of metal or metal oxide, wherein the metal may be titanium, carbon steel, stainless steel or Hastelloy, preferably stainless steel or Hastelloy; the metal oxide may be aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, preferably aluminum oxide or titanium dioxide.

[0159] From the data of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the gas-liquid mixing assembly provided by the present invention has excellent gas-liquid mixing effect for different gas-liquid components, and specifically can control the average size of bubbles after gas-liquid mixing to be below 200 μm. Combined with the data of Examples 1, 3, 4, and 5, it can be seen that as the ratio of the gas feed amount to the liquid feed amount gradually decreases, the average size of the bubbles also gradually decreases; Combined with the data of Examples 5 and 6, it can be seen that when the other structural conditions remain unchanged, the overall increase in the gas-liquid two-phase feed amount will lead to an increase in the average size of the bubbles; Combined with the data of Examples 1, 7, 8, and 9, it can be seen that increasing the aperture of the sieve hole 151 will lead to an increase in the average size of the bubbles, and increasing and decreasing the number of sieve holes 151 will lead to an increase in the average size of the bubbles; Combined with the data of Examples 1 and 10, it can be seen that setting the angle between the axial direction of the sieve hole 151 and the cross-section of the injection pipe 10 perpendicular to the length direction to 60° is more conducive to reducing the average size of the bubbles than setting it to 90°; Combined with the data of Examples 1 and 11, it can be seen that increasing the length of the air inlet section 13 is not conducive to reducing the average size of the bubbles; Combined with the data of Examples 1, 12, and 13, it can be seen that the distance between the end of the air inlet section 13 close to the throttling section 12 and the liquid outlet end of the throttling section 12 is too large. or too small, is not conducive to reducing the average size of bubbles; combined with the data of Examples 1 and 14, it can be seen that maintaining a certain length of the gas-liquid two-phase development section 14 is conducive to reducing the average size of bubbles; combined with the data of Examples 1 and 15, it can be seen that the average pore size of the porous structure coating provided on the inner wall of the channel 21 has a greater influence on the average size of bubbles, and when the average pore size of the porous structure coating is larger, it is not conducive to reducing the average size of bubbles; combined with the data of Examples 1 and 16, it can be seen that reducing the number of channels 21 will increase the average size of bubbles; combined with the data of Examples 1, 17, 18, and 19, it can be seen that when the channel 21 is set to include an inner pore tapering section 211 and an inner pore expanding section 212, it is conducive to reducing the average size of bubbles to a certain extent. However, when the degree of inner pore tapering and expanding is large, it will cause the average size of bubbles to increase; combined with the data of Examples 1, 20, and 21, it can be seen that the ratio of the length of the inner pore expansion section to the inner pore tapering section is too large or too small, which is not conducive to reducing the average size of bubbles. The average bubble size of Example 1 (2:1) is 70 μm, the average bubble size of Example 20 (4:1) is 156 μm, and the average bubble size of Example 21 (0.5:1) is 184 μm. Combining the data of Examples 1, 22, and 23, it can be seen that the size of the filler 31 is too large and the length of the filler tube 30 is too long, which is not conducive to reducing the average size of the bubbles.

[0160] Combine Figure 3As shown, the second aspect of the present invention provides an application of the aforementioned gas-liquid mixing component in the oxidation of isopropylbenzene, wherein the gas-liquid mixing component is built into the reactor 1 for the oxidation of isopropylbenzene, and a plurality of the gas-liquid mixing components are arranged in parallel, and the plurality of gas-liquid mixing components are used to mix the gas and liquid participating in the isopropylbenzene oxidation reaction to form a gas-liquid mixture; the gas is an oxygen-containing gas, and the liquid is a liquid containing isopropylbenzene or an oxidation liquid containing isopropylbenzene hydrogen peroxide.

[0161] In some embodiments, the internal flow channel located at the porous material membrane tube 20 is loaded with catalyst active components; or a filler 31 is provided at the outlet of the porous material membrane tube 20, and the filler 31 is loaded with catalyst active components; or a filler 31 made of a material containing catalyst active components is provided at the outlet of the porous material membrane tube 20.

[0162] By providing the active components of the catalyst, the gas raw material and the liquid raw material can react in the process of forming the gas-liquid mixture, further improving the reaction efficiency of the gas-liquid two-phase.

[0163] Furthermore, the catalyst active component is selected from at least one oxide of copper, magnesium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, chromium, zinc, iron, silver, and gold; it is understandable that the loading amount of the catalyst active component is set according to the requirements of the specific reaction. In some embodiments, the loading amount of the catalyst active component is 0.01%-10% of the weight of the porous material membrane tube 20 or the filler 31, preferably 0.05%-5%;

[0164] In the present invention, the catalyst active components can be supported in any appropriate form. For example, the catalyst active components can be supported by impregnation, vacuum coating, chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition.

[0165] The application of the gas-liquid mixing assembly provided by the present invention in the oxidation of cumene is further illustrated below through specific application examples.

[0166] Application Example 1

[0167] The three gas-liquid mixing assemblies provided in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 are built into the reactor 1 for cumene oxidation, and the three gas-liquid mixing assemblies are used to mix the gas and liquid involved in the cumene oxidation reaction to form a gas-liquid mixture;

[0168] In each gas-liquid mixing assembly, the porous membrane tube 20 and the filler 31 are both loaded with CuO active components. The catalytic active component loading on the porous membrane tube 20, calculated as Cu, is 1% of the mass of the porous membrane tube 20; the catalytic active component loading on the filler 31, calculated as Cu, is 1% of the mass of the filler 31.

[0169] The gas was air (oxygen concentration 21% by volume), and the liquid was cumene hydroperoxide at a concentration of 14 wt%. After 6 hours, samples were taken for cumene hydroperoxide concentration analysis using iodine titration, and other byproducts, such as acetophenone and dimethylbenzyl alcohol, were analyzed by liquid chromatography. The results are summarized in Table 1.

[0170] Application Example 2

[0171] The implementation of this application example is basically the same as that of application example 1, except that the gas is replaced with oxygen-enriched gas (oxygen concentration is 50% (by volume percentage)); the rest remains unchanged, and the final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0172] Application Example 3

[0173] The implementation of this application example is basically the same as that of application example 1, except that the liquid feed rate is controlled to 9 L / min, and the rest remain unchanged. The final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0174] Application Example 4

[0175] The implementation of this application example is basically the same as that of application example 1, except that the liquid feed rate is controlled to 1.5 L / min, and the rest remain unchanged. The final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0176] Application Example 5

[0177] The implementation of this application example is basically the same as that of application example 1, except that the catalyst active component on the porous material membrane tube 20 is loaded in an amount of 3% of the mass of the porous material membrane tube 20, calculated as Cu; the catalyst active component on the filler 31 is loaded in an amount of 3% of the mass of the filler 31, calculated as Cu metal. The rest remain unchanged. The final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0178] Application Example 6

[0179] The implementation of this application example is basically the same as that of application example 1, except that the active component of the supported catalyst is replaced with MgO, and the rest remains unchanged. The final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0180] Comparative Example 1

[0181] The implementation of this comparative example is basically the same as that of Application Example 1, except that no catalyst active components are loaded on the porous material membrane tube 20 and the filler 31. The rest remains unchanged. The final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0182] Comparative Example 2

[0183] This comparative example adopts the traditional aeration method, and the final analysis results are summarized in Table 1.

[0184] Table 1:

[0185] CHP production rate / (% / h) CHP selectivity / % Acetophenone selectivity / % Dimethylbenzyl alcohol / % Application Example 1 4.6 95.8 3.4 0.8 Application Example 2 5.8 90.4 6.5 3.1 Application Example 3 4.9 96.2 2.3 1.5 Application Example 4 4.3 94.1 4.2 1.7 Application Example 5 6.2 92.2 5.6 2.2 Application Example 6 5.5 93.5 4.7 1.8 Comparative Example 1 3.7 98.5 1.1 0.4 Comparative Example 2 2.1 92.1 4.8 3.1

[0186] Combined with the above experimental data, it can be seen that the gas-liquid mixing component can increase the reaction rate and enhance CHP selectivity. Oxygen-enriched conditions can increase the reaction rate but are detrimental to CHP selectivity. A lower gas-liquid ratio improves mixing, which can increase the reaction rate and improve CHP selectivity. An increased gas-liquid ratio reduces the oxidation rate and is detrimental to CHP selectivity.
