Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device and process for gas-liquid two-phase countercurrent contact reaction, and in particular to a countercurrent oxidation device and process for producing hydrogen peroxide. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the anthraquinone process is the primary method for producing hydrogen peroxide both domestically and internationally. This process uses alkylanthraquinone (AQ, primarily 2-alkylanthraquinone) as a carrier. A suitable solvent for dissolving anthraquinone and anthrahydroquinone, along with a pH-adjusting agent, forms a working fluid. The entire preparation process generally includes hydrogenation, oxidation, extraction, and post-treatment. The solvent for dissolving anthraquinone is typically heavy aromatic hydrocarbons extracted from the petroleum industry, with C9 or C10 aromatics being the most common industrially used. In the hydrogenation process, anthraquinone is hydrogenated over a catalyst to form anthrahydroquinone, transforming the working fluid into a hydrogenated solution. In the oxidation process, the anthrahydroquinone in the hydrogenated solution reacts with oxygen to regenerate anthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide, transforming the hydrogenated solution into an oxidized solution. The oxygen source can be pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air. In industrial practice, compressed air is often used for cost and safety reasons.
[0003] Domestic oxidation processes often utilize a parallel oxidation process, in which hydrogenated liquid and air flow in parallel and upward. Because the oxygen content in air is only approximately 21%, the reaction pressure in the oxidation tower is 0.18–0.4 MPa, and the reaction temperature is 40–55°C. These relatively mild reaction conditions result in a low oxygen concentration at the gas-liquid interface and a slow reaction rate. Although two or three towers in series are often used in industry to improve conversion rates, these towers are primarily empty, aside from the gas distributor, redistributor, and heat exchanger. Even after extended reaction times in the oxidation tower, the oxidation yield remains only approximately 90–95%, with tail oxygen content at 6% or higher. These factors present disadvantages, including low oxidation yield and high tail oxygen content.
[0004] Manufacturers abroad and in some parts of China have begun adopting countercurrent oxidation processes. Compared to cocurrent oxidation, countercurrent gas-liquid contact improves oxidation yields and reduces tail gas oxygen content. However, this method is more complex to operate, and the nearly fully reacted oxidation liquid is exposed to large amounts of fresh air, causing some products to be carried away by the air or decompose. Fresh air has a high oxygen content, and the oxidizing liquid can carry a small amount of fresh air into the oxidation tank, where it is released after decompression, increasing the oxygen content above the tank and the risk of flash explosions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a countercurrent oxidation device and process for producing hydrogen peroxide. The device comprises an oxidation tower, an oxidation liquid tank, an online oxygen content measurement assembly, and an analysis and processing unit. The hydrogenated liquid enters the oxidation tower from the top through a liquid distributor and flows downward, while the gas enters the oxidation tower from the bottom through a gas distributor and flows upward, resulting in macroscopic countercurrent contact between the gas and liquid phases. The gas inlet can have one, two, or three inlets. When two or three inlets are used, the main gas inlet is sufficiently far from the oxidation liquid outlet to reduce the amount of gas carried over by the oxidation liquid, reduce the amount of gas entering the main gas inlet to reduce gas entrainment, and reduce the hydrogen peroxide concentration near the main gas inlet to reduce hydrogen peroxide decomposition caused by large amounts of gas. After the oxidation tail gas leaving the top of the tower undergoes a tail gas treatment process to cool most of its components, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, a portion of the treated oxidation tail gas can be connected to the top of the oxidation liquid tank after being determined by the analysis and processing unit. This treated oxidation tail gas replaces the fresh nitrogen that was originally introduced directly into the oxidation liquid tank, ensuring safety during system operation and reducing costs.
