[0030] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) A double-helix stirring shaft is set in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor. When the first valve and the second valve are closed, high-pressure hydrogen is introduced. Magnesium hydride is generated during the process of the double-helix stirring shaft rotating in reverse to stir the magnesium powder. When the second valve is opened, the double-helix stirring shaft rotates forward and drives the magnesium hydride powder to fall from the discharge pipe into the magnesium hydride buffer tank. Through the forward and reverse rotation of the double-helix stirring shaft, stirring is achieved so that the magnesium powder is fully contacted with the hydrogen, and the discharge of the magnesium hydride is accelerated.

[0042] Example 1, reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of a large-scale production device for magnesium hydride (hereinafter referred to as "production device").

[0043] Magnesium hydride large-scale production equipment, see Figure 1As shown, it includes a magnesium powder buffer tank 1, a high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, a magnesium hydride buffer tank 3 and a finished product tank 4, the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is placed vertically, and the temperature in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is 180°C-400°C, preferably 280°C; a feed pipe 11 is provided between the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 and the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, and the feed pipe 11 is provided with a first valve 12; a double-helix stirring shaft 21 is provided in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, and the double-helix stirring shaft 21 drives the magnesium hydride powder to pass through the outlet when it rotates forward The material pipe 5 enters the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3, and the double-helix stirring shaft 21 drives the magnesium powder and the magnesium hydride powder to turn over and stir when it is reversed. The discharge pipe 5 is provided with a second valve 51. The bottom of the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3 and the finished product tank 4 are both tapered portions 31 with a cone angle of 30°-37°. The purpose of this design is to prevent the accumulation of magnesium hydride; a spiral drill bit 6 is provided at the bottom of the double-helix stirring shaft 2, and the spiral drill bit 6 extends into the discharge pipe 5 and approaches the second valve 51. When the spiral drill bit 6 rotates forward, it drives the magnesium hydride powder to fall from the discharge pipe 5 into the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3. The magnesium hydride buffer tank 3 and the spiral drill bit 6 loosen the magnesium hydride adhered to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5 when reversing to prevent the magnesium hydride from agglomerating. If necessary, a vibrator is set on the outer wall of the discharge pipe, and the magnesium hydride powder remaining on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5 can be shaken off by the vibrator; the magnesium hydride powder is simultaneously subjected to the pressure difference, gravity, the forward thrust of the double-helix stirring shaft 2 and the forward thrust of the spiral drill bit 6 and falls from the discharge pipe 5 into the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3; the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is provided with a high-pressure hydrogen inlet 22, and the gas in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 The pressure is maintained at 2MPa-10MPa, such as 3MPa, 5MPa, 7MPa, 9MPa, etc.; a plurality of temperature sensors 23 are provided on the inner wall of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, and the plurality of temperature sensors 23 are distributed at the upper part, the middle part and the bottom part of the inner wall of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2. The plurality of temperature sensors 23 are used to monitor the temperature of the upper part, the middle part and the bottom part of the inner wall of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 1. When any temperature exceeds the threshold value, the hydrogenation reaction is stopped to avoid sintering of magnesium hydride due to excessive temperature.

[0044] Specifically, see Figure 1The magnesium powder buffer tank 1 is provided with a first argon inlet 13 and a first replacement exhaust port 14. Before magnesium powder is put into the magnesium powder buffer tank 1, argon is first injected through the first argon inlet 13, and air, water vapor, etc. are discharged through the first replacement exhaust port 14, so that the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 is filled with an inert environment of argon. The magnesium powder buffer tank 1 is provided with an online moisture monitor, an online oxygen monitor and an online hydrogen monitoring instrument. After magnesium powder is stored in the magnesium powder buffer tank 1, the moisture content is less than 5000ppm, the oxygen content is less than 5000ppm, and the hydrogen content is less than 5000ppm; the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is provided with a second argon inlet 24 and a second replacement exhaust port 25. Before magnesium powder is put into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, argon is first injected through the second argon inlet 24, and air, water vapor, etc. are discharged through the second replacement exhaust port 25, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is filled with an inert environment of argon.

[0045] The warm and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 of this embodiment is placed upright, that is, vertically, so that the gravity of magnesium hydride can be fully utilized when blanking. In addition, since the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 5 is only 50mm-100mm, when the magnesium powder and hydrogen are fully stirred and hydrogenated, it is difficult to blank the magnesium hydride powder at the moment of opening the second valve 51 due to the accumulation angle of the magnesium hydride powder. For this reason, this embodiment adopts the pressure difference, gravity, the forward rotation thrust of the double-helix stirring shaft 2 and the forward rotation thrust of the spiral drill bit 6 to synchronously push the magnesium hydride to blank. During the blanking process, if magnesium hydride adheres to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5, sintering will occur in a high-temperature environment, resulting in poor discharge, which will seriously affect the normal production. The material can be shaken by a vibrator on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 5, and the subsequent reversal of the spiral drill bit 6 can also loosen the magnesium hydride attached to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5. Through this embodiment, smooth blanking in the thin-diameter discharge pipe 5 is guaranteed and magnesium hydride is effectively prevented from accumulating on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5.

[0046] See also Figure 1A magnetic drive 28 is provided on the top of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, and the magnetic drive 28 drives the double-helix stirring shaft 21 to rotate without contact. The rotation speed of the double-helix stirring shaft 21 is 5rpm-30rpm. There is no contact between the magnetic drive 28 and the double-helix stirring shaft 21, that is, there is no power transmission shaft, which reduces the risk of leakage of the power transmission shaft due to improper sealing; when high-pressure hydrogen is injected into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, in order to prevent hydrogen from entering the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 and the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3, the first valve 12 and the second valve 51 are closed. When the first valve 12 and the second valve 51 are closed, the double-helix stirring shaft 21 continues to reverse, and the magnesium powder and magnesium hydride particles are continuously fed The first heat transfer oil pipeline is provided with a spiral winding first heat transfer oil pipeline, and the first hot oil system 26 or the first cold oil system 27 introduces heat transfer oil into the first heat transfer oil pipeline. The heat transfer oil enters from the bottom of the first heat transfer oil pipeline and flows back from the top. The spirally wound first heat transfer oil pipeline can ensure the reaction temperature in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2. In an emergency, cold heat transfer oil can also be introduced into the first heat transfer oil pipeline to cool the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2. The heating rate and cooling rate of the heat transfer oil are both 50°C / h-150°C / h, achieving faster heating or cooling.

[0047] See also Figure 1 A safety valve 7 and a filter 71 with a filtration accuracy of less than 50 μm are provided on the top of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2. When the gas pressure in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 exceeds a threshold value, the safety valve 7 is opened and the gas is released to reduce the pressure. The gas released by the safety valve 7 contains magnesium powder or magnesium hydride powder. The filter 71 can intercept the magnesium powder or magnesium hydride powder to prevent the magnesium powder or magnesium hydride powder from escaping into the atmosphere.

[0048] During the reaction between magnesium powder and hydrogen, if the temperature of a certain part of the inner wall of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is too high, the magnesium hydride will sinter into agglomerates, which will affect the normal synthesis of magnesium hydride. The high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 needs to be opened for treatment. The high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is full of hydrogen, magnesium powder and magnesium hydride. Opening the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is an extremely risky and costly operation. Figure 1In order to prevent the generated magnesium hydride from being sintered into agglomerates, when any of the temperature sensors 23 issues an over-temperature warning, the following measures are taken to cool the reactor: the introduction of hydrogen into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is stopped, the first hot oil system 26 stops heating the thermal oil, the first cold oil system 27 is started and delivers thermal oil to the first thermal oil pipeline, so that the thermal oil is cooled at a rate of 50°C / h-150°C / h. At the same time, argon gas is introduced into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 for cooling. The argon gas temperature can be -25°C-25°C. Through the above measures, the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 can be cooled, thereby preventing the magnesium hydride from sintering into agglomerates.

[0049] See also Figure 1 The magnetic drive 28 is provided with a current monitoring unit. If the working current of the magnetic drive 28 monitored by the current monitoring unit reaches 80% of the threshold value and lasts for more than 10 seconds, it indicates that the stirring of the double-helix stirring shaft 21 is resisted. The source of the resistance may be that there is too much magnesium powder and the stirring cannot be carried out, or it may be that magnesium hydride has been sintered into agglomerates in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, which increases the stirring resistance of the double-helix stirring shaft 21. If the working current of the magnetic drive 28 is too large, the following measures are taken to cool the reactor: stop introducing hydrogen into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, stop heating the heat transfer oil, start the first cold oil system 27 and transport heat transfer oil to the first heat transfer oil pipeline, so that the heat transfer oil is cooled at a rate of 50°C / h-150°C / h, and at the same time, introduce argon gas into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 for cooling. The argon gas temperature may be -25°C-25°C. Through the above measures, the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 can be cooled, thereby preventing magnesium hydride from sintering into agglomerates.

[0050] See also Figure 1 A second jacket 33 is provided on the outer wall of the magnesium hydride cache tank 3, and a spirally coiled second thermal oil pipeline is provided in the second jacket 33. The second cold oil system 32 introduces 30°C-60°C thermal oil into the second thermal oil pipeline. The thermal oil enters from the bottom of the second thermal oil pipeline and flows back from the top. The spirally coiled second thermal oil pipeline can cool the magnesium hydride powder to 30°C-60°C; the magnesium hydride cache tank 3 is also provided with a third argon inlet 34 and a third replacement exhaust port 35. Before magnesium hydride is placed in the magnesium hydride cache tank 3, argon is first injected through the third argon inlet 34, and air, water vapor, etc. are discharged through the third replacement exhaust port 35, so that the magnesium hydride cache tank 3 is filled with an inert environment of argon.

[0051] See also Figure 1When the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 transports magnesium powder to the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, in order to speed up the falling speed of the magnesium powder, high-pressure argon can be injected through the first argon inlet 13 to quickly transport the magnesium powder by pressure difference and gravity; when the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 discharges material to the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3, in order to speed up the falling speed of the magnesium powder, high-pressure argon can be injected through the second argon inlet 24 to quickly transport the magnesium hydride powder by pressure difference and gravity.

[0052] Example 2, reference Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of a large-scale production device for magnesium hydride (hereinafter referred to as "production device").

[0053] Magnesium hydride large-scale production equipment, see Figure 2 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that the discharge pipe 5 of Example 2 is a trumpet-shaped one with a small inlet and a large outlet, which can prevent magnesium hydride from agglomerating on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5; in order to further prevent the residual magnesium hydride on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5 from affecting its discharge, a vibrator is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 5, and the magnesium hydride remaining on the inner wall of the discharge pipe is shaken off by the vibration of the vibrator. On the basis that the discharge pipe 5 is a trumpet-shaped one with a small inlet and a large outlet, a spiral drill bit 6 is provided at the bottom of the double-helix stirring shaft 2, the spiral drill bit 6 extends into the discharge pipe 5 and approaches the second valve 51. When the spiral drill bit 6 rotates forward, it drives the magnesium hydride powder from the discharge pipe 5 to fall into the magnesium hydride buffer tank 3. When the spiral drill bit 6 rotates backward, it loosens the magnesium hydride adhered to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 5 to prevent the magnesium hydride from agglomerating.

[0054] The large-scale production device for magnesium hydride disclosed in Example 2 is similar to that in Example 1. Please refer to Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0055] Example 3, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation method of a large-scale production process of magnesium hydride.

[0056] For large-scale production process of magnesium hydride, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0057] Step S1: Adding magnesium powder to the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 in an argon atmosphere; specifically, before adding the magnesium powder to the magnesium powder buffer tank 1, argon gas is first injected through the first argon gas inlet 13, and air, water vapor, etc. are discharged through the first displacement exhaust port 14, so that the magnesium powder buffer tank 1 is filled with an inert environment of argon gas to prevent the magnesium powder from contacting oxygen and moisture;

[0058] Step S2: replacing the gas in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 with argon, injecting magnesium powder into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 through a pressure differential, closing the first valve 12 and the second valve 51, reversing the double-helix stirring shaft 21, and injecting high-pressure hydrogen to maintain the pressure in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 at 2 MPa-10 MPa, thereby generating magnesium hydride; specifically, the first valve 12 is located at the inlet pipe 11 of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2, and the second valve 51 is located at the outlet pipe 5 of the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2; magnesium powder is injected into the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 to a maximum of 50% of its volume, and the hydrogen and magnesium powder are fully contacted during the reverse stirring of the double-helix stirring shaft 21 to generate magnesium hydride powder;

Specifically, after the magnesium powder is fully hydrogenated, the second valve 51 is opened, and high-pressure argon gas is injected through the second argon gas inlet 24, so that the gas pressure in the high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogenation reactor 2 is temporarily increased to a positive pressure. The double-helix stirring shaft 21 and the spiral drill bit 6 are changed to forward rotation, so that the magnesium hydride powder is simultaneously subjected to the pressure difference, gravity, the forward rotation thrust of the double-helix stirring shaft 21, and the forward rotation thrust of the spiral drill bit 6, and is discharged quickly.

[0060] Step S4: Cooling the magnesium hydride in the magnesium hydride cache tank to 30°C-60°C; specifically, a second jacket is provided on the outer wall of the magnesium hydride cache tank 3, a spirally coiled second thermal oil pipeline is provided in the second jacket, and a second cold oil system introduces thermal oil at 30°C-60°C into the second thermal oil pipeline. The thermal oil enters the second thermal oil pipeline from the bottom and flows back from the top. The spirally coiled second thermal oil pipeline can cool the magnesium hydride powder to 30°C-60°C.

[0061] Step S5: The magnesium hydride in the magnesium hydride buffer tank is transported to the finished product tank.

[0062] The large-scale production process of magnesium hydride disclosed in Example 3 adopts the large-scale production apparatus of magnesium hydride described in Example 1 or Example 2.
