[0002] The high-temperature hydrolysis of monomethyltrichlorosilane is a chemical reaction in which monomethyltrichlorosilane (CH3SiCl3) reacts with water (H2O) at high temperatures to form compounds containing silicon-oxygen bonds while simultaneously releasing hydrogen chloride gas (HCl). During this process, the chlorine atoms in the monomethyltrichlorosilane molecule are replaced by hydroxyl groups (-OH) in water molecules, forming new chemical bonds. The resulting products typically include siloxane compounds, such as dimethylsiloxane. These products have diverse chemical properties and applications and are widely used in the synthesis of organosilicon compounds, the preparation of electronic materials, and surface modification.

[0003] Existing reaction methods have numerous shortcomings: First, they suffer from numerous side reactions and low product purity, making them difficult to meet the demands of high-end applications. Second, the harsh reaction conditions, such as high temperature and high pressure, not only place high demands on equipment and increase costs, but also pose safety risks. Third, some reactions are slow, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty adapting to large-scale production. Fourth, catalyst activity and stability are poor, making recycling and reuse difficult, leading to high production costs and wasted resources.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a high-temperature hydrolysis reaction method for monomethyltrichlorosilane. The core steps include first pre-mixing monomethyltrichlorosilane with a purity of ≥99.5% with deionized water in a molar ratio of 1:1.8-1:2.5, injecting the mixture into a tubular preheater preheated to 200°C±5°C through a two-fluid atomizing nozzle, and controlling the residence time to be 30-45 seconds; then introducing the preheated material into a stirred reactor with three-stage temperature control, wherein the temperature, stirring mode, and rotation speed of each zone of the reactor are as follows: 210-220°C in the bottom zone, a titanium alloy anchor stirrer, and a rotation speed of 150-180 r / min; 200-210°C in the middle zone, a four-slant-blade turbine stirrer, and a rotation speed of 220-250 r / min; 190-200°C in the top zone, a gas dispersion disk, and a rotation speed of 80-100 r / min, the system pressure is maintained at 0.05-0.12 MPa(g), and the reaction time is 40-50 minutes. During the reaction, an online infrared monitoring system monitors the Si-O bond formation rate in real time. When the characteristic peak intensity reaches 800-1200 a.u., the product is introduced into a gradient cooling system for rapid cooling via a first-stage shell-and-tube heat exchanger and a second-stage spiral plate heat exchanger. Furthermore, the hydrogen chloride gas is separated by a gas-liquid cyclone separator and recovered in a two-stage falling-film absorption tower. The liquid product is treated in a molecular sieve dynamic adsorption tower before entering a short-path distillation system to obtain the target product. Process optimization during the reaction process also includes: using a nano-sized magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite composite catalyst in step b, adding it in three equal portions at a rate of 0.3-0.6% by weight of silane; incorporating a piezoelectric ceramic vibration descaling device into the gradient cooling system; dynamically adjusting reaction conditions via a PID control system; equipping the short-path distillation system with zirconia ceramic filler; in-situ regeneration of the molecular sieve; and adding a polyether-modified siloxane defoamer during the premixing stage.

[0042] In this embodiment, the reaction selectivity is significantly improved to more than 98.5% by combining a three-stage gradient temperature control reaction system with a differentiated stirring design. Secondly, a nano-magnesium aluminum hydrotalcite catalyst is introduced and the Si-O bond formation rate is monitored in real time through online infrared spectroscopy to dynamically adjust the reaction conditions, effectively suppress the formation of side reactions, and reduce the by-product content to less than 1.2%. In addition, a two-stage quenching system is used in conjunction with a piezoelectric ceramic vibration descaling device to avoid the formation of siloxane polymers and ensure the stability and continuity of the production process. By combining a molecular sieve dynamic adsorption tower with a short-range distillation system. At the same time, the integrated energy cascade utilization system reduces the overall energy consumption by more than 40%, achieving a highly selective, low-energy, safe and controllable high-temperature hydrolysis reaction of monomethyltrichlorosilane.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a high-temperature hydrolysis reaction method for monomethyltrichlorosilane, the key steps of which are as follows: first, monomethyltrichlorosilane is pre-mixed with deionized water and then injected into a preheater, and then introduced into a three-stage temperature-controlled stirring reactor for reaction, during the reaction, the Si-O bond formation rate is monitored in real time and the product is controlled to be introduced into a gradient cooling system, after two-stage cooling, hydrogen chloride gas is separated by a gas-liquid cyclone separator, and the separated hydrogen chloride gas is recovered by a two-stage falling film absorption tower, using a 20wt% NaOH solution with a circulation flow rate of 2.5-3.5m 3 / h. The liquid product is treated in a molecular sieve dynamic adsorption tower and then enters a short-path distillation system. By controlling conditions such as the tower top temperature, vacuum degree, and reflux ratio, the target product with a water content of ≤0.05wt% is obtained. To improve product quality and processing efficiency, this method adopts a number of measures during the product processing: using a nano-scale magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite composite catalyst and adding it in batches; installing a piezoelectric ceramic vibration descaling device to maintain the efficient operation of the cooling system; dynamically adjusting reaction conditions through a PID control system to reduce the formation of by-products; equipping the short-path distillation system with zirconia ceramic fillers to improve separation efficiency; in-situ regeneration of the molecular sieve to reduce production costs; and adding a defoaming agent during the premixing stage to control surface tension. In addition, this method also emphasizes resource recycling. By using the waste heat of the primary cooling system to preheat the raw materials and the absorbed heat of hydrogen chloride to preheat the product drying system, comprehensive energy utilization is achieved, improving the energy efficiency of the entire production process.
