Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hybrid reaction equipment, and in particular to a mixing and reaction device and its application in the preparation of monodisperse nano calcium carbonate. Background Art

[0002] The mixing and reaction device is a device for mixing raw materials and carrying out chemical reactions. At present, there are a series of problems in the calcium carbonate industry in China, such as simple production processes, serious product homogenization, low product added value, high energy and material consumption, unstable product quality, and the whiteness and fineness of products not meeting the high-quality requirements; at the same time, there are problems in the production technology of nano calcium carbonate, such as uneven particle size distribution, difficult separation, poor dispersion effect, and high import dependence on high-end nano calcium carbonate products.

[0003] CN 115608299 B discloses a micro-reaction device for preparing nano calcium carbonate, including a lower housing, a mixing housing, and an upper housing. A linear guide column cavity one is provided in the lower housing, and a square groove cavity one is also provided in the middle of the lower housing. The mixing housing is fitted in the square groove cavity one. An L-shaped guide column cavity two is provided in the upper housing. The inner end of the guide column cavity two is connected to the mixing housing, the mixing housing is connected to the guide column cavity one, the outer end of the guide column cavity two is connected to a dispersed phase inlet, and the two ends of the guide column cavity one are respectively connected to a continuous phase inlet and a continuous phase outlet. However, the micro-reaction environment provided by the above micro-reaction device is used to solve the problems of uneven particle size, low crystallinity, and irregular morphology in the preparation of nano calcium carbonate products by traditional autoclave reactors.

[0004] CN 115286028 B discloses a method and device for synthesizing highly dispersed nano calcium carbonate without using additives. The device includes a peristaltic pump, a constant temperature crystallizer, a membrane dispersion micro-reactor, a magnetic stirrer, and a low-temperature constant temperature bath; the membrane dispersion micro-reactor is arranged in the constant temperature crystallizer, the membrane dispersion micro-reactor is connected to the peristaltic pump, and the constant temperature crystallizer is connected to the low-temperature constant temperature bath; the membrane dispersion micro-reactor is a spiral hollow fiber tube, and a plurality of micropores are uniformly arranged on the wall surface of the hollow fiber tube; the equivalent diameter of the micropores is 0.45 μm; sodium carbonate solution is pumped into the membrane dispersion micro-reactor through the peristaltic pump to react with the calcium hydroxide and calcium chloride slurry to obtain calcite calcium carbonate with a particle size of 18.8 nm. However, the above patents all strengthen the mass transfer and reaction efficiency of the system by constructing a one-dimensional or two-dimensional micro-scale reaction environment, accelerate the nucleation process of calcium carbonate, and realize the relative separation of the nucleation and crystallization processes. However, reaction equipment, especially one-dimensional channel-type reaction devices, is prone to problems such as blockage.

[0005] In addition, nano-calcium carbonate has relatively high activity and surface energy, and is prone to agglomeration during the processes of preparation, storage, and application, thereby losing the essential characteristics of nanomaterials. In order to improve the monodispersity of nano-calcium carbonate, inhibit the agglomeration between particles, and enhance its dispersibility in polymer substrates when used as a polymer filler, it is necessary to use surfactants to conduct surface functional modification on nano-calcium carbonate, reduce its surface energy, modulate its surface hydrophilic-hydrophobic ability, inhibit the agglomeration between nanoparticles, and improve the monodispersity of nano-calcium carbonate and its compatibility with organic substrates. Traditional functional modification is carried out in a kettle / tank reactor. The reaction space is too large, which is prone to dead zones, and it is impossible to effectively depolymerize and break soft agglomerated particles. At the same time, the materials in the kettle / tank reactor are not evenly mixed, and the residence time is uneven, resulting in poor timeliness and uniformity during the surface functional modification of calcium carbonate, seriously affecting its performance when used as a polymer filler.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is specifically proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the mixing and reversing device of this embodiment includes a housing 1. Above the interior of the housing 1, there is a feeding chamber 2, which is communicated with a feeding port 3. Below the interior of the housing 1, a stator 4 is fixedly provided. The stator 4 has a hollow cavity, and a rotor 5 is arranged in the hollow cavity. There is an adjustable gap between the rotor 5 and the stator 4, and the top of the gap is communicated with the feeding chamber 2. On the inner wall of the stator 4 and the outer wall of the rotor 5, a plurality of flow guiding grooves 6 and a plurality of flow guiding grooves 7 are respectively arranged at circumferential intervals. The rotor 5 is connected to the driving shaft of the driving mechanism through a rotating shaft 8. At the top of the housing 1, there is a reflux port 9. Both ends of the reflux port 9 are respectively communicated with the feeding chamber 2 and a reflux pipe 10. At the bottom of the housing 1, there is an outlet 11 communicated with the bottom of the gap. The outlet 11 is connected to the lower part of the reflux pipe 10 through a three-way valve 12. The middle part of the reflux pipe 10 is communicated with an air inlet 14, and an air inlet valve 15 is provided on the air inlet 14.

[0044] The housing 1 can be a cylindrical closed housing, and a feeding port 3, a reflux port 9, and an air vent 16 are independently provided at its top. The feeding port 3, the reflux port 9, and the air vent 16 are respectively communicated with the feeding chamber 2. The feeding port 3 is used to send materials to the feeding chamber 2, the reflux port 9 is used to make the materials in the gap flow back to the feeding chamber 2, and the air vent 16 is used for exhausting air.

[0045] Above the inside of the housing 1, a feed cavity 2 is provided. The feed cavity 2 is in the shape of an inverted frustum of a cone. The bottom of the feed cavity 2 is flush with the top of the stator 4, so as to facilitate the material in the feed cavity 2 to enter the gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5 for mixing reaction. Below the inside of the housing 1, a stator 4 and a rotor 5 are provided. The stator 4 is arranged in the hollow cavity of the rotor 5. There is a gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5, and this gap forms a dynamic confinement micro-reaction space at the micron scale, which is conducive to the formation of high-pressure liquid film shear and high-frequency oscillation effects during high-speed rotation, so as to strengthen the crushing and reaction capabilities of calcium-containing solid waste particles and improve the contactability and reactivity between calcium-containing solid waste and ammonium salt solution.

[0046] There is no strict limit on the adjustable method of the gap size, as long as the gap size can be adjusted within the range of 20 - 500 μm. Specifically, the hollow cavity of the stator 4 and the rotor 5 are in the shape of frustums of a cone that match each other. The inclination angles of the side surfaces of the hollow cavity and the frustum of the rotor 5 are the same. At the same time, the sizes of the upper and lower bases of the frustum of the hollow cavity are both larger than those of the upper and lower bases of the frustum of the rotor 5. The stator 4 and the rotor 5 are coaxially arranged. When the stator 4 and the rotor 5 are relatively fixed, there is a fixed gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5.

[0047] Furthermore, the rotor 5 can be connected to a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism can drive the rotor 5 to move up and down relative to the stator 4 to adjust the gap size, and the gap size can be adjusted within the range of 20 - 500 μm according to actual process requirements. It can be understood that when the rotor 5 moves upward relative to the stator 4, the gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5 becomes smaller; when the rotor 5 moves downward relative to the stator 4, the gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5 becomes larger.

[0048] In addition, a plurality of diversion grooves 6 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the stator 4, and the depth of the diversion grooves 6 is 1 - 2 mm; a plurality of diversion grooves 7 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the rotor 5, and the depth of the diversion grooves 7 is 1 - 2 mm. The diversion grooves 6 and the diversion grooves 7 can be arranged to penetrate from top to bottom along the inner wall of the stator 4 and the outer wall of the rotor 5; at the same time, the diversion grooves 6 and the diversion grooves 7 can be inclined, and the inclination angle is 45 - 75 degrees. The distance between adjacent diversion grooves 6 is 1 - 2 mm, and the distance between adjacent diversion grooves 7 is 1 - 2 mm.

[0049] The rotor 5 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive mechanism through the rotating shaft 8. The drive mechanism drives the rotor 5 to rotate through the drive shaft and the rotating shaft 8. The rotational speed of the rotor 5 is adjustable within the range of 1000 - 6000 r / min. During the high-speed rotation process of the stator 4 and the rotor 5, a high-pressure liquid film shearing and high-frequency oscillation effect are formed, thereby strengthening the crushing and reaction capabilities of calcium-containing solid waste particles, and enhancing the contactability and reactivity between the calcium-containing solid waste and the ammonium salt solution. At the same time, the gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5 is a micron-scale dynamic confinement micro-reaction space. The CO2 large bubbles are sheared into extremely small bubbles by the extrusion and shearing effects during the high-speed rotation of the rotor 5 to form a micron-scale second gas-liquid mixed flow, increasing the gas-liquid contact area between CO2 and the calcium-containing filtrate, improving the gas-liquid mass transfer process and the microscopic mixing and reaction efficiency, suppressing the inhomogeneity of mass, temperature, and concentration in the system, making the reaction time of CO2 and the calcium-containing filtrate match the mixing time between the gas-liquid materials, precisely controlling the absorption rate of CO2 and the supersaturation degree of the reaction system during the reaction process, realizing the explosive nucleation and rapid growth of calcium carbonate, and thus obtaining nano-calcium carbonate with small particle size and narrow particle size distribution. In addition, the shearing, crushing, and depolymerization capabilities of the high-speed rotating liquid film within the micron scale can disperse the soft agglomerates during the preparation and storage of nano-calcium carbonate, strengthening the reaction ability and reaction timeliness between the surfactant and the nano-calcium carbonate particles, and thus obtaining monodisperse nano-calcium carbonate.

[0050] One end of the reflux pipe 10 is communicated with the reflux port 9, and the other end of the reflux pipe 10 forms a discharge port 17. When the mixing and reaction effect of the mixing and reaction device does not meet the preset requirements, the material can be refluxed to the mixing and reaction device through the reflux pipe 10 via the outlet 11 to continue the mixing reaction. When the mixing and reaction effect of the mixing and reaction device meets the preset requirements, the material can be discharged through the discharge port 17.

[0051] In particular, a Venturi tube 13 is provided in the middle of the reflux pipe 10. The throat of the Venturi tube 13 is communicated with the air inlet 14, and the CO₂-containing gas can be self-sucked into the mixing and reaction device through the Venturi tube 13. The outlet 11 is connected to the Venturi tube 13, and the CO₂-containing gas is introduced through the Venturi tube 13 to obtain a preliminary gas-liquid mixed flow. Subsequently, a second gas-liquid mixed flow is obtained in the micron-scale dynamic confinement microenvironment formed by the gap between the stator 4 and the rotor 5, strengthening the mixing and reaction ability between the gas and the liquid. The CO₂-containing gas enters the reaction system accurately and controllably through the air inlet 14 and the inlet valve 15 at the throat of the Venturi tube 13 to form nano-micro bubbles, accelerating the escape of ammonia during the reaction process, and improving the leaching rate and leaching timeliness of calcium in the calcium-containing solid waste. In addition, according to Bernoulli's principle, the CO₂-containing gas and the calcium-containing filtrate are preliminarily premixed through the pressure difference to obtain a first gas-liquid mixed flow containing large bubbles, which enters the inverted frustum-shaped feed cavity 2 through the feed port 3 provided at the top of the housing 1, and then enters the micron-scale dynamic confinement micro-reaction space formed by the stator 4 and the rotor 5 to shear the large bubbles into extremely small bubbles to form a micron-scale second gas-liquid mixed flow, improving the gas-liquid mass transfer process and the microscopic mixing and reaction efficiency.
