Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microchannel reaction devices, and in particular to a plate-type microchannel reaction device and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Micro-reaction technology refers to the process technology of continuous flow and reaction in a micro-device system with a microreactor as the core. The technology originated in the 1990s. Professor Wolfgang Ehrfeld, who worked at the Mainz Institute of Technology in Germany, was inspired by the "huge performance improvement and innovation brought by miniaturization in the field of microelectronics" and successfully applied the micro-mixer to the gas-phase synthesis of hydrocyanic acid for the first time, laying the foundation for the technology. Early microreactors used for reactions were usually made of glass, quartz glass, ceramics or stainless steel to achieve specific operating purposes such as rapid mixing, heat transfer or high-pressure operation, but they had high production costs and limited flexibility, and most of the application cases were relatively simple chemical processes. After more than 20 years of development, micro-reaction technology has gradually matured, from early laboratory devices and concepts to diversified commercial equipment and has been widely used.

[0003] There are many domestic enterprises that have carried out the research and development and production of ε-caprolactone, but most of them remain in the pilot stage and have not yet achieved industrialization. Baling Petrochemical built a 200-ton / year pilot plant in 2009. The product quality reached the standards of similar foreign products, and the purity of ε-caprolactone products was greater than 99.5%. Nanjing Red Sun New Materials Co., Ltd. built a 500-ton / year pilot production plant in Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park in 2014. It uses ionic liquid to catalyze the reaction of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to produce peracetic acid, which then reacts with cyclohexanone to produce ε-caprolactone. After distillation and purification, the ε-caprolactone product with a purity greater than 99.5% can be obtained. Zhongyuan Dahua also conducted a pilot test of synthesizing ε-caprolactone by the indirect method of hydrogen peroxide, but due to reaction control problems, the product polymerized during the distillation process, resulting in excessive viscosity of the material and blockage of the pump. Although it has been reported in China that many ε-caprolactone production units have opened up the process and produced qualified products, no domestic ε-caprolactone has been found for sale in the market. Domestic downstream users also have the intention to launch ε-caprolactone production lines, but due to the high safety risks, long reaction time, and cumbersome operation of traditional methods, they have not been implemented, which shows the difficulty of producing ε-caprolactone products. Chinese patent application CN103539770A discloses a microchannel reaction technology for preparing ε-caprolactone based on the oxidation of cyclohexanone with peracetic acid, and Chinese patent application CN106279093A discloses a microchannel reaction technology for preparing ε-caprolactone based on the oxidation of cyclohexanone with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid. The above two processes better achieve efficient mixing and reaction of heterogeneous systems, but there are no targeted measures for controlling the impurity content, which affects the selectivity of the final product and increases the subsequent separation cost, which is difficult to mass produce.
