[0049] To make the invention purposes, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0050] Embodiment 1, Reference Figs. 1-3 In a first embodiment of the present application, a temperature control method in a carboxymethyl starch sodium production process is provided, and a flowchart of the method is shown as Fig. 1 The method comprises the following steps:
[0051] S1: Dividing the carboxymethyl starch sodium production process into an alkalization stage, an etherification stage, and a neutralization stage in sequence, and determining the temperature control targets of each reaction stage.
[0052] In a specific embodiment of the present application, step S1 specifically comprises:
[0053] S1.1: According to the reaction mechanism and process characteristics of carboxymethyl starch sodium synthesis, the carboxymethyl starch sodium production process is divided into an alkalization stage, an etherification stage, and a neutralization stage in sequence.
[0054] It should be noted that the synthesis process of carboxymethyl starch sodium follows a specific chemical reaction path, which determines that the production process must be carried out in strict order. As the initial step, the alkalization stage plays a key role in activating the hydroxyl groups on the starch molecules in an alkaline environment, converting them into alcoholate form with higher reactivity, and laying a foundation for the subsequent etherification reaction. The etherification stage is the core link of carboxymethyl starch sodium synthesis, in which the activated starch molecules react with carboxymethylation reagents (such as monochloroacetic acid or its sodium salt) to successfully introduce carboxymethyl groups into the starch molecule structure, building the molecular skeleton of carboxymethyl starch. The neutralization stage is the last link of the production process, which mainly adjusts the pH value of the reaction system to the appropriate range to stabilize the carboxymethyl structure, and finally produces qualified carboxymethyl starch sodium product. This division not only conforms to the reaction mechanism of carboxymethyl starch sodium synthesis, but also meets the requirements of process characteristics, laying a foundation for subsequent temperature control.
[0055] S1.2: Analyze the conformational change characteristics of sodium carboxymethyl starch molecular chains, characterize the temperature response characteristics of the hydroxyl activity on the starch molecules, and determine the temperature sensitive interval of each reaction stage.
[0056] Specifically, the enthalpy change of starch molecules under different temperature conditions is determined by differential scanning calorimetry to determine the critical temperature point of conformational transition of starch molecular chains; the characteristic vibration frequency of hydroxyl groups at different temperatures is monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to obtain the correlation information between hydroxyl groups and temperature; the change of hydrogen atom chemical shift in starch molecules at different temperatures is analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to evaluate the reactivity of hydroxyl groups; based on the determination data, the temperature sensitive interval of each reaction stage is clearly defined; the reaction effect of each temperature sensitive interval is verified by small scale experiment to ensure the scientificity and rationality of the division of temperature sensitive interval. Compared with the traditional empirical constant temperature method, the temperature sensitive interval is determined from the microscopic view of molecular conformational change, which more accurately locks the optimal temperature range of each reaction stage and greatly improves the activation efficiency of hydroxyl groups and the selectivity of carboxymethylation reaction.
[0057] S1.3: Based on the determined temperature sensitive interval, the exothermic characteristics of each reaction stage are determined, the heat change rule is analyzed, and the temperature process parameters of each reaction stage are determined.
[0058] Further, the reaction heat value and exothermic rate of the alkalization stage, etherification stage and neutralization stage are determined by isothermal reaction calorimeter; the reaction heat curve of each reaction stage is drawn to determine the peak point and its duration of heat release; the heat accumulation characteristics under different viscosity conditions are analyzed and determined in combination with the influence of reaction system viscosity on heat transfer; based on the above analysis, the upper limit value, lower limit value and optimal control value of each reaction stage are determined as the temperature process parameters; the temperature control strategy of each reaction stage is formulated, and a complete set of temperature process parameters is formed.
[0059] S1.4: Establish temperature conversion mechanism according to the thermodynamic characteristics of each reaction stage, and determine the temperature change strategy between stages.
[0060] Further, the thermodynamic properties of each reaction stage are analyzed, including entropy change, enthalpy change, and Gibbs free energy change; the reaction system parameters at the end of the alkalization stage are monitored to determine the trigger conditions for switching to the etherification stage; the temperature transition curve from the alkalization stage to the etherification stage is designed to ensure smooth transition of the reaction system temperature; the reaction progress at the end of the etherification stage is monitored to determine the optimal timing for switching to the neutralization stage; the temperature control strategy from the etherification stage to the neutralization stage is designed to avoid adverse effects of temperature fluctuations on product quality. Emergency control measures are developed during the transition process of each stage to ensure temperature safety during the transition process; a stage transition criterion based on the viscosity change rate of the reaction system is established to identify the completion point of the alkalization stage by quantitatively monitoring the inflection point characteristics of the viscosity change rate, and to determine the fully conducted etherification reaction point by the accelerated characteristics of the viscosity change rate, thereby determining the optimal transition timing of the reaction stage, avoiding the blind transition of traditional processes relying solely on time or temperature, and improving the accuracy of stage transition, providing a scientific decision basis for temperature step transition control. By establishing a scientific temperature transition mechanism, smooth transition between stages is achieved, and the stability of the production process is improved.
[0061] S1.5: Establish the mapping relationship between temperature and reaction indicators in each reaction stage to form a segmented temperature control system.
[0062] Further, in the alkalization stage, a mapping relationship between reaction temperature and alkalization degree is established to determine the optimal alkalization temperature control curve; in the etherification stage, a mapping relationship between reaction temperature and carboxymethyl substitution degree is established to determine the optimal etherification temperature control curve; in the neutralization stage, a mapping relationship between reaction temperature and pH change is established to determine the optimal neutralization temperature control curve; the temperature and reaction indicator mapping relationships of each stage are integrated to establish a complete segmented temperature control system; the segmented temperature control system is fine-tuned and optimized in combination with actual production conditions; a stage temperature control adaptive fine-tuning mechanism is constructed, which automatically adjusts the temperature change rate when the viscosity-temperature ratio index exceeds the set threshold value, smooths the temperature control curve using the moving average method, and dynamically adjusts the heating / cooling power, so that the temperature control can accurately predict and respond to viscosity changes, overcoming the defects of lagging adjustment in traditional control systems, and providing accurate temperature change rate and residence time parameters for subsequent temperature step transition control. By establishing the mapping relationship between temperature and key reaction indicators, a segmented temperature control system is formed for the entire process, which can perform differentiated temperature control according to the reaction characteristics of different stages, and is beneficial to improving the stability and production efficiency of carboxymethyl substitution degree.
[0063] S2: Set up a temperature sensor array in the reaction kettle to monitor the temperature distribution in the reaction kettle, and monitor the viscosity of the reaction system to establish a temperature-viscosity-time correlation model.
[0064] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model construction and processing flow chart is as shown in Fig. 2 Specifically, it includes:
[0065] S2.1: A three-dimensional temperature monitoring network is formed by arranging temperature sensor arrays in the radial, axial and tangential directions in the reaction kettle, and temperature distribution data is obtained.
[0066] It should be noted that in the traditional production process of sodium carboxymethyl starch, the number of temperature monitoring points in the reaction kettle is limited, and it is difficult to fully reflect the temperature distribution in the system. The present application can capture the temperature field distribution characteristics in the reaction process by reasonably arranging the three-dimensional temperature sensor array to form a temperature monitoring network, and provide data basis for precise temperature control. In a typical embodiment, a certain number of temperature measuring points are uniformly distributed in the radial, axial and tangential directions according to the size of the reaction kettle, forming a temperature monitoring network covering the main reaction area of the kettle. The specific number and installation position of the sensors can be adjusted according to the specifications of the reaction kettle to obtain representative temperature distribution data.
[0067] S2.2: Online viscosity measurement devices are installed at the bottom and side wall of the reaction kettle to monitor the viscosity changes of the reaction system at different temperature distribution positions, and viscosity data is obtained.
[0068] It should be noted that in the reaction process of sodium carboxymethyl starch, the viscosity of the system is an important parameter reflecting the reaction progress and product characteristics. The present application uses appropriate online viscosity measurement methods to monitor the viscosity changes at key positions without interfering with the reaction. Specifically, viscosity measurement devices are installed at different heights of the bottom and side wall of the reaction kettle to form a viscosity monitoring network, and the data acquisition frequency is adjusted according to the characteristics of the reaction stage. Higher frequency is used in the stage with faster viscosity change, and lower frequency is used in the stage with slower viscosity change. By combining viscosity measurement with temperature monitoring, the temperature-viscosity correspondence relationship at a specific position can be established, providing an important reference for reaction process control.
[0069] S2.3: Time sequence matching of temperature data and viscosity data is performed to establish the basic correspondence relationship between temperature and viscosity, and the reaction time dimension is introduced to construct the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model.
[0070] Specifically, first, the temperature data and viscosity data in the historical production data are wavelet transform filtered and preprocessed to eliminate high-frequency noise and random fluctuations; the data set is divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) for model construction and calibration; the temperature data is converted into a temperature spatial distribution feature tensor through a tensor decomposition method (such as Tucker decomposition) that preserves spatial topological relationships, and the viscosity data at different positions is converted into a viscosity distribution feature vector. A temperature-viscosity-time correlation model is constructed, which specifically includes: first, based on the time window method, the continuous time series data is segmented into multiple sample points, each sample point containing temperature distribution features, viscosity distribution features and corresponding time stamps; second, the reaction time is introduced as an independent feature dimension into the model, by converting the absolute time into a percentage representation of the reaction progress, a normalized reaction progress time axis is established, solving the problem of different batch reaction total time differences; third, a deep neural network containing an encoder-decoder structure is designed, the encoder compresses the temperature distribution features and the reaction time features into a low-dimensional latent representation, and the decoder predicts the viscosity distribution based on the latent representation; finally, the Arrhenius equation constraint of the carboxymethylation reaction is introduced as a regularization term to ensure that the model prediction conforms to the physical relationship between temperature and reaction rate.
[0071] The historical production data includes temperature distribution data, viscosity data and corresponding time sequence information in the past carboxymethyl starch sodium production process.
[0072] Preferably, through the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, the viscosity mutation point can be accurately predicted to provide a decision basis for temperature control strategy optimization. The model overcomes the limitations of traditional single variable linear models through the encoder-decoder structure of the deep neural network and the Arrhenius equation physical constraint, realizes the multi-dimensional nonlinear dynamic mapping of temperature distribution features, reaction time and viscosity distribution, and realizes the real-time prediction of viscosity evolution through the rolling prediction function, which helps to improve the temperature control accuracy and process stability of the carboxymethyl starch sodium production process.
[0073] S2.4: Use the validation set data to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, and optimize the model parameters and structure based on the evaluation results.
[0074] Further, based on the optimized temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, the viscosity distribution is rolling predicted by iteratively inputting the temperature distribution features and normalized reaction time at the current time, to generate the viscosity evolution sequence within the prediction window.
[0075] S2.5: Based on the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, calculate the correlation gradient of viscosity and temperature in the reaction process, and determine the temperature sensitive point in the reaction kettle as the key temperature control point according to the correlation gradient and temperature distribution features.
[0076] Specifically, a multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis framework is constructed by using a temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, a partial derivative matrix of temperature to viscosity and a partial derivative matrix of time to viscosity are calculated, and a multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis field is constructed; in the multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis field, partial derivative local extreme points and viscosity mutation early warning points are identified as the first type of temperature sensitive points in the reaction kettle; based on temperature distribution data, the spatial gradient distribution of the temperature field is calculated, and the heat transfer limited area is determined as the second type of temperature sensitive point by combining heat conduction theory analysis; combined with viscosity data and temperature distribution data, the flow characteristics in the reaction system are analyzed, and the area with obvious difference in heat transfer efficiency is identified as the third type of temperature sensitive point; for the above three types of temperature sensitive points, a hierarchical weight evaluation system is established, and the final key temperature control point distribution is determined by a spatial clustering algorithm.
[0077] Preferably, by determining the key temperature control point, the present application realizes precise temperature control based on multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis. Compared with the traditional fixed position monitoring method, this innovative point makes the selection of temperature sensitive points more scientific, effectively identifies the most sensitive area to temperature change in the reaction process, and avoids the problem of control lag or inaccuracy caused by improper selection of temperature monitoring points in the traditional method.
[0078] S3: determining the key temperature control point based on the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, and adopting a segmented control strategy to differentially regulate different temperature control regions in the reaction kettle.
[0079] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the differential regulation flowchart is as shown in Fig. 3 , and specifically includes:
[0080] S3.1: according to the key temperature control point, dividing the space in the reaction kettle into multiple temperature control regions, setting independent temperature control parameters for each temperature control region, and determining the reaction kettle jacket section corresponding to each temperature control region.
[0081] Specifically, based on the three types of temperature sensitive points determined in S2.4, a temperature control point density distribution map is constructed using a spatial point cloud analysis technique to identify the aggregation area of temperature control points; a region growing algorithm is applied, taking the temperature control point aggregation area as the seed point, combining the geometric structure characteristics of the reaction kettle, and dividing the initial temperature control area with similar temperature variation characteristics to form the temperature control area boundary contour; the initial temperature control area is analyzed for thermodynamic characteristics to evaluate the temperature field uniformity and thermal response consistency within each area, and the initial temperature control area is merged or subdivided according to the similarity of the thermal response characteristics to optimize the temperature control area division structure; the thermal conduction relationship between each temperature control area and the jacket section is analyzed in combination with the jacket structure design and heat medium flow characteristics of the reaction kettle to establish an optimal correspondence matrix between the temperature control area and the jacket section, ensuring that each temperature control area can achieve effective temperature regulation through the corresponding jacket section; according to the temperature sensitivity characteristics and viscosity variation characteristics of each temperature control area, a regional temperature control parameter configuration scheme is developed in combination with the segmented temperature control system established in S1.5, including target temperature set value, temperature fluctuation tolerance range, temperature rise and fall rate limit, and PID control parameter group, to achieve precise temperature management of the temperature control area.
[0082] Preferably, the present application breaks through the limitation of traditional temperature control of reaction kettle as a whole, and can provide more precise temperature control environment for high viscosity reaction system for large industrial reaction kettle center-wall temperature difference, uneven temperature rise and fall, etc.
[0083] S3.2: Establish a heat transfer model between the temperature control areas, calculate the heat exchange rate and influence factor, and obtain the temperature gradient transfer coefficient and heat exchange time lag parameter.
[0084] Further, based on the spatial position relationship and boundary characteristics of each temperature control area, a regional heat transfer network topology structure is constructed to identify the main heat transfer channel and key heat exchange interface; the computational fluid dynamics principle is applied, combined with the rheological characteristics of the reaction system, to establish a heat convection transfer differential equation considering the influence of viscosity variation, and the regional heat exchange flux is solved by the finite element method; through real-time temperature monitoring data, the temperature gradient change rate between adjacent temperature control areas is calculated, the relationship function between heat transfer rate and temperature gradient is fitted, and the temperature gradient transfer coefficient is obtained; the time sequence response characteristics of temperature variation between the temperature control areas are analyzed, the propagation delay of temperature variation signal between the areas is measured, and the heat exchange time lag parameter is determined.
[0085] Preferably, by establishing a heat transfer model considering the influence of viscosity, the problem of heat transfer complexity caused by viscosity variation in the production process of sodium carboxymethyl starch is successfully solved, so that the temperature control system can predictively cope with the thermal response delay effect caused by viscosity variation of the reaction system.
[0086] S3.3: Input the temperature gradient transfer coefficient and heat exchange time lag parameter into the partitioned PID controller, calculate the heat medium flow control amount of each temperature control area, adjust the valve opening degree of each section of the jacket, and form differential flow distribution.
[0087] Further, a partitioned PID control system based on regional characteristics is constructed, an independent PID control unit is configured for each temperature control area, and a PID parameter setting method modified by a temperature gradient transfer coefficient is used for each control unit. Considering the obvious thermal response lag phenomenon in the sodium carboxymethyl starch reaction process, a heat exchange time lag parameter is introduced as a feedforward compensation term to establish an improved PID control algorithm of Smith predictor structure, thereby improving the adaptability of the system to heat transfer hysteresis. Based on the real-time viscosity change trend and temperature response characteristics, the proportional, integral and differential parameters of the PID controller are dynamically adjusted to realize adaptive control of the reaction system under different viscosity conditions. The output of the PID controller of each temperature control area is converted into a jacket heat medium flow control instruction, and the optimal flow distribution ratio and regulating valve opening degree set value of each jacket section are calculated through a flow distribution optimization algorithm. A hierarchical flow control mechanism is designed to meet the temperature control requirements of the main temperature control area under the premise of coordinating the heat medium flow distribution between each jacket section through cascade adjustment, forming a differential but overall coordinated heat medium flow distribution strategy between regions.
[0088] Preferably, the technical solution effectively overcomes the nonlinearity and hysteresis problems of temperature control in the sodium carboxymethyl starch reaction process through the partitioned PID control system combined with the heat exchange time lag parameter, and improves the heat medium utilization efficiency.
[0089] S3.4: According to the heat medium flow control amount, the heat change rate of each temperature control area is calculated, differential temperature regulation instructions are generated, and the jacket segmented heating system is driven to operate.
[0090] Further, based on the heat medium flow control amount and the heat medium inlet and outlet temperature difference data, the heat transfer rate of each temperature control area is calculated in real time. According to the thermal response characteristics and reaction progress requirements of each temperature control area, differential temperature regulation curves are set to convert temperature regulation requirements into combined control instructions of jacket heat medium temperature, flow and flow direction. A collaborative control strategy for the jacket segmented heating system is established to optimize the execution order of the control instructions according to the temperature control priority and heat demand urgency of each temperature control area, and to realize balanced regulation of multi-area temperature. A jacket heat medium flow path optimization algorithm is designed to dynamically adjust the series-parallel flow mode of the heat medium between each jacket section based on the temperature attenuation characteristics of the heat medium in the jacket section, thereby maximizing the heat medium utilization efficiency.
[0091] The jacket sectional heating system comprises a plurality of reaction kettle jacket sections corresponding to the temperature control regions, independent flow regulating devices for each section, temperature monitoring points, and inter-regional heat medium flow direction switching devices. Through independent regulation and control of the heat medium flow and flow direction of different jacket sections, precise temperature control of the corresponding temperature control regions is achieved.
[0092] S3.5: Collect temperature response data of each temperature control region, compare the corresponding relationship between temperature change and heat medium flow control amount, adjust the temperature gradient transfer coefficient, and realize balanced control of temperature distribution between temperature control regions.
[0093] Further, through the temperature sensor array, temperature data of each temperature control region is collected at regular intervals, and the temperature response rate and steady-state deviation are calculated. The corresponding record of heat medium flow control amount and temperature change rate is established, and the actual influence degree of flow adjustment on temperature change is analyzed. According to the actual operation data, the temperature gradient transfer coefficient is updated by a small amount (adjustment amplitude is not more than ±5%) according to the preset period (usually 4-8 hours), so that it can more accurately reflect the heat transfer characteristics under the current process state. Through real-time analysis of the temperature response relationship of adjacent temperature control regions, the heat transfer bottleneck point is identified, and the temperature gradient transfer coefficient of the boundary region is adjusted by a small amount.
[0094] The boundary region refers to the junction between adjacent temperature control regions, which is determined when the region growing algorithm is used to form the temperature control region boundary profile in step S3.1. The present application particularly focuses on the temperature gradient control of these boundary regions, because the heat transfer between adjacent temperature control regions mainly occurs in these boundary regions, which are the key channels for heat transfer and may become the "bottleneck point" of heat transfer. By adjusting the temperature gradient transfer coefficient of these boundary regions, more effective balanced control of temperature distribution between temperature control regions can be achieved.
[0095] S4: When it is detected that the temperature gradient in the reaction kettle exceeds the set temperature gradient tolerance range, the flow and flow direction of the reaction kettle jacket heat medium are adjusted in combination with the heat transfer relationship of adjacent temperature control regions.

[0099] Among them, the temperature gradient tolerance range is determined based on the temperature sensitive point characteristics, the segmented temperature regulation system requirements and the equipment condition restrictions, and an adaptive adjustment mechanism is set for different reaction stages.
[0100] S4.2: According to the divided temperature control region and its corresponding reaction kettle jacket section, the working state of each section control device is confirmed.
[0101] It should be noted that the working state of each section control device is confirmed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent coordinated regulation, to avoid temperature regulation failure due to equipment failure or abnormal response, and to provide basic data support for accurate calculation of heat medium flow adjustment amount.
[0102] S4.3: For temperature gradient abnormality, the temperature difference data between adjacent temperature control regions is re-measured, the temperature conduction coefficient and the convective heat transfer coefficient between adjacent temperature control regions are calculated, and the heat transfer parameter table under emergency state is established.
[0103] Further, for abnormal conditions beyond the temperature gradient tolerance range, the temperature gradient value calculated by S4.1 is used to determine the abnormal strength and direction of heat transfer; according to the heat flow and temperature difference between adjacent temperature control regions, Fourier's law of heat conduction is applied to recalculate the temperature conduction coefficient between adjacent temperature control regions; by analyzing the interface characteristics of adjacent temperature control regions, the interface thermal resistance value is determined to evaluate the influence of the interface on heat transfer under abnormal conditions; combined with the flow state and thermal physical parameters of the reaction system, the temperature change rate caused by fluid flow is measured using the fixed-point temperature measurement method to calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient between adjacent temperature control regions; the temperature conduction coefficient, convective heat transfer coefficient, and interface thermal resistance value are integrated to construct a heat transfer parameter table under emergency conditions.

The execution of this step ensures effective correction of the temperature gradient anomaly, realizes balanced optimization of the temperature field through multi-region coordinated adjustment, avoids the "trade-off" problem that may be caused by single-region adjustment, and provides a strong guarantee for the stability of the reaction process and the product quality.
[0110] S5: Combine the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model to evaluate the reaction progress, and when the reaction progress reaches the predetermined completion degree, switch to the next reaction stage through temperature step conversion control.
[0111] In one specific embodiment of the present application, step S5 specifically includes:
[0112] S5.1: Use the temperature-viscosity change rate as the reaction progress indicator, and calculate the temperature-viscosity change rate matrix of the current reaction stage based on the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model.
[0113] Wherein, the temperature-viscosity change rate is calculated by the partial derivative of viscosity with respect to temperature. Based on the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, the derivative value of viscosity with respect to temperature at each monitoring point is calculated; the derivative values of each monitoring point are arranged according to the spatial position to form the temperature-viscosity change rate matrix.
[0114] S5.2: Construct a reaction progress judgment model, combine the temperature-viscosity change rate matrix and the critical value of the stage viscosity, and calculate the completion degree of the current reaction stage in real time. When the reaction completion degree reaches the predetermined completion degree, a stage conversion signal is triggered.
[0115] It should be noted that the stage viscosity critical value is obtained by analyzing the viscosity characteristics of the conversion points in each stage of the historical production data. In addition, the reaction progress calculation method is: the difference between the current viscosity and the stage viscosity critical value is normalized to obtain the basic completion degree index; combined with the eigenvalue analysis of the temperature-viscosity change rate matrix, the stability index of the viscosity change rate is calculated; comprehensive two indicators, through the weighted sum to get the completion degree score of the current reaction stage. When the completion degree score exceeds the predetermined completion degree (usually 90%-95%), the system determines that the current stage reaction has been fully carried out, triggering the stage conversion signal.
[0116] wherein the determination of the predetermined completion degree is based on the following scientific basis: by analyzing the correlation between the quality of the historical batch products and the stage completion degree, the minimum completion degree requirement that can guarantee the stability of the product quality is determined; considering the importance difference of different reaction stages, the threshold values of the alkalization stage and the etherification stage are set to 92%-95%, and the threshold value of the neutralization stage is set to 90%-93%; combined with the different requirements of product specifications, the threshold value of high viscosity product is set at the upper limit of the interval, and the threshold value of low viscosity product is set at the lower limit of the interval; through temperature-viscosity change rate trend analysis, when the change rate is stable in a low fluctuation state (such as fluctuation amplitude <2%) for 3 consecutive sampling periods, the threshold value can be appropriately reduced by 1-2 percentage points to optimize production efficiency. This scientific threshold system ensures the accuracy of the reaction stage switching and the consistency of the product quality.
[0117] S5.3: According to the temperature conversion mechanism between the alkalization stage, the etherification stage and the neutralization stage, the temperature step conversion control curve is planned, and the temperature change rate and residence time of each stage conversion process are determined.
[0118] Specifically, for the conversion from the alkalization stage to the etherification stage: according to the calculation results of the entropy change and enthalpy change of the alkalization stage reaction system, the maximum allowed temperature change rate is determined; combined with the activation energy characteristics of the etherification reaction, a three-stage temperature rising curve is designed, including an initial slow heating section, an intermediate rapid heating section and a final constant temperature stabilization section; after the etherification reaction temperature reaches the set value, the residence time is set to ensure that the reaction is fully carried out. For the conversion from the etherification stage to the neutralization stage: based on the Gibbs free energy change analysis of the etherification reaction, the cooling rate is determined; a smooth cooling curve is designed to avoid temperature sudden drop caused by product quality fluctuation; after the neutralization temperature is stable, sufficient residence time is set to ensure that the pH value adjustment is sufficient and the product performance is stable.
[0119] S5.4: Set the temperature gradient buffer zone to control the temperature change rate during the stage conversion process.
[0120] It should be noted that the setting of the temperature gradient buffer zone is to prevent local overheating or overcooling caused by rapid temperature change during the stage conversion process, and to avoid uneven product quality and reaction safety risk.
[0121] S5.5: preset the next reaction stage temperature control parameters of each temperature control area, and make differential settings according to the area characteristics.
[0122] Among them, for the top area of the reactor, since the heat loss of this area is large, the preset temperature value is 1-2℃ higher than the standard set value, and the integral time in the PID control parameter is shorter, so as to quickly respond to temperature fluctuations; for the bottom area of the reactor, considering the heat accumulation effect of this area, the preset temperature value is 0.5-1℃ lower than the standard set value, and the differential time in the PID control parameter is longer, so as to prevent temperature overshoot; for the center area of the reactor, as a standard temperature control area, the target temperature specified by the process is directly used, and the PID parameter setting balances stability and response speed. In addition, the differential setting mainly considers the differences in heat conduction characteristics, fluid flow state and reaction sensitivity of each area, and through the spatial differential temperature control strategy, the overall reaction system is uniformly controlled, and the reaction conversion rate and product quality stability are improved.
[0123] Further, the embodiment also provides a temperature control system in a carboxymethyl starch sodium production process, comprising: a stage division module, used for dividing the carboxymethyl starch sodium production process into an alkalization stage, an etherification stage and a neutralization stage in sequence, and determining the temperature control targets of each reaction stage; a correlation model construction module, used for setting a temperature sensor array in the reactor to monitor the temperature distribution in the reactor and simultaneously monitor the viscosity of the reaction system, and establishing a temperature-viscosity-time correlation model; a differential regulation module, used for determining key temperature control points based on the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, and using a segmented control strategy to differentially regulate different temperature control areas in the reactor; a cooperative adjustment module, used for, when detecting that the temperature gradient in the reactor exceeds the set temperature gradient tolerance range, cooperatively adjusting the flow and flow direction of the reactor jacket heat medium in combination with the heat transfer relationship of adjacent temperature control areas; and a control switching module, used for evaluating the reaction progress in combination with the temperature-viscosity-time correlation model, and when detecting that the reaction progress reaches a predetermined completion degree, switching to the next reaction stage through temperature step conversion control.
[0124] By the technical scheme, the application has the following beneficial effects: the temperature sensitive range is accurately determined from the molecular level, the effect of hydroxyl activation and carboxymethylation reaction is improved, and the method is more scientific and accurate than the traditional empirical temperature determination method. A temperature- viscosity- time correlation model is constructed to accurately predict the viscosity mutation point, overcome the limitations of the traditional single variable linear model, and improve the temperature control precision and process stability. A segmented control strategy is adopted to differentially regulate different regions of the reaction kettle, solve the temperature control problem of large industrial reaction kettles, and provide a precise temperature control environment for high-viscosity reaction systems. A heat transfer model considering the influence of viscosity is established to solve the complex problem of heat transfer caused by viscosity change, so that the temperature control system can cope with the thermal response delay effect. Based on multiple factors, the reaction stage conversion timing and temperature control curve are determined to ensure smooth transition between stages and improve production stability and product quality consistency.
