Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis process and reactor equipment design and manufacturing, and specifically relates to an organosilicon monomer synthesis process and a fluidized bed reactor. Background Art
[0002] Organosilicon refers to the organosilicon monomer dimethyldichlorosilane and its by-products. It is directly synthesized from silicon powder and methyl chloride. The main reaction is as follows: However, the actual process is more complicated and is accompanied by the following series of side reactions: Side reactions such as thermal decomposition, disproportionation, hydrolysis of chlorosilane, and coking may also occur during the reaction, making the reaction products more complex.
[0003] The reaction for synthesizing organosilicon monomers has the following characteristics: ① This reaction is a gas-solid-solid catalytic reaction. Under the reaction conditions, solid silicon powder first undergoes a solid-solid reaction with the catalyst copper to form an active contact Cu3Si, which then reacts with chloromethane gas at the active center. ② This process is a highly exothermic reaction with a reaction heat of 291.8 kJ·mol -1 Moreover, the reactant silicon powder is a poor conductor of heat, and the product chlorosilane is easily decomposed to form high-boiling products at high temperatures. Therefore, timely heat exchange during the reaction process is the technical key to the synthesis of silicone monomers.
[0004] One of the key pieces of equipment for organosilicon monomer production is the synthesis fluidized bed reactor, where gaseous methyl chloride reacts with solid silicon powder to produce organosilicon monomer. Methyl chloride gas enters the reactor from the bottom and reacts with the silicon powder inside to form organosilicon monomer. Heat generated by the reaction is removed by heat exchange tubes mounted within the reactor, and the resulting organosilicon gas exits the reactor through the upper outlet and enters the next refining stage.
[0005] Theoretically, the synthesis of organosilicon monomers is related to the following factors: (1) the diameter of the heat exchange tube of the fluidized bed reactor; the smaller the diameter of the heat exchange tube of the gas-solid phase fluidized bed reactor, the higher the heat transfer efficiency; the smaller the diameter of the heat exchange tube, the smaller the tube spacing can be, which is more conducive to uniform radial temperature distribution in the bed; however, if the diameter of the heat exchange tube is too small, the stiffness of the heat exchange tube will decrease. In order to maintain the stiffness of the heat exchange tube, a certain number of grids need to be arranged in the axial direction of the heat exchange tube. The grid plays two roles: ensuring the stiffness of the heat exchange tube and facilitating equipment processing; however, the setting of the grid also has two disadvantages: it reduces the flow area of the gas in the bed and reduces the fluidization effect of the silicon powder, which is not conducive to the uniform reaction. ; (2) The reaction temperature of the fluidized bed reactor; the higher the reaction temperature, the faster the reaction speed and the higher the utilization efficiency of the equipment; however, if the temperature is too high, the probability of producing tar and by-products will increase; (3) The appropriate initial silicon powder filling amount; if the initial silicon powder filling amount is too large, the gas resistance will be large, which is not conducive to initial fluidization; but if the filling amount is too small, the silicon powder content in the mobile phase will be low, the single-pass conversion rate of chloromethane will be reduced, and the production efficiency will be indirectly reduced; (4) Reasonable gas velocity in the reactor; if the gas velocity is greater than the carry-out speed of the silicon powder particles, the residence time of the gas in the reaction zone must be greater than the reaction residence time of chloromethane and silicon powder to ensure that the silicon powder reacts completely.
[0006] Therefore, the design of the synthesis process parameters for organosilicon monomers and the fluidized bed reactor requires a comprehensive balance among factors such as the heat exchange tube diameter, tube spacing, the presence of a grid, the initial charge of silicon powder, and gas flow rate. This balance requires complex modeling and optimization calculations across heat transfer, fluid mechanics, reaction kinetics, structural mechanics, and material mechanics to determine the final reaction temperature and pressure, gas flow rate, heat exchange tube diameter, the presence of a grid, tube spacing, and other equipment parameters.
[0007] Under certain organosilicon monomer synthesis process conditions and reactor equipment structure, if the single-pass conversion rate of chloromethane is high, the content of dimethyldichlorosilane in the product is high, the amount of silicon powder carried out at the reactor outlet is small, and the tar content is low, such process conditions and equipment structure are better process conditions and equipment.
[0008] At present, the shortcomings of the domestic organosilicon monomer synthesis process are as follows: the single-pass conversion rate of methyl chloride is low, usually between 30-45%, the dipotassium content in the product is generally around 86%, the amount of silicon powder carried out at the reactor outlet is large, the subsequent product separation load is high, and more energy is required.
[0009] The main reasons for the above shortcomings are: (1) The diameter of silicon powder particles is large, usually with an average particle size of about 80 microns. The silicon powder is carried out of the reactor by the gas before it is completely reacted; (2) Limited by the traditional fluidization theory, the gas velocity in the reactor is low, and the reactants and products stay in the reactor for too long, causing the raw materials and products to coke and decompose; (3) The initial silicon powder filling amount in the reactor is too large, the local fluidization effect in the reactor is poor, and the local temperature in the reactor is overheated; (4) In order to pursue heat exchange efficiency, the diameter of the selected heat exchange tube is too small, and the heat exchange tube is not stiff enough. It is necessary to set one or even multiple layers of grids to ensure the stiffness of the heat exchange tube, which reduces the fluidization effect in the reactor and even causes silicon powder blockage between the heat exchange tube and the grid, causing local overheating and coking; (5) The reaction temperature is relatively low, generally not exceeding 300°C, and the reaction speed is relatively slow. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The present invention aims to provide a process for synthesizing an organosilicon monomer and a fluidized bed reactor, which have better process parameters, a reasonable reactor structure, high heat transfer efficiency, a fast reaction speed, a short residence time, a uniform temperature distribution in the bed, a high single-pass conversion rate of methyl chloride, and a high selectivity for dimethyldichlorosilane, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of conventional organosilicon synthesis processes, improving the production efficiency of organosilicon, and reducing production costs.
[0011] The technical solution of the present invention is: a process for synthesizing an organosilicon monomer in a fluidized bed reactor. The synthesis steps are as follows: silicon powder is introduced into the fluidized bed reactor by methyl chloride through a methyl chloride inlet at the bottom of the fluidized bed reactor, and simultaneously, a portion of methyl chloride gas enters the fluidized bed reactor through a methyl chloride auxiliary inlet; methyl chloride reacts with silicon powder in the reactor, and the generated organosilicon gas is transported to a finished product refining section through a finished product gas outlet, while the heat generated by the reaction is removed by a cooling medium in a U-tube heat exchange tube; the synthesis conditions are: the reaction temperature in the fluidized bed reactor is controlled between 320-330°C, the reaction pressure is between 0.3-0.35 MPa, the average diameter of the silicon powder particles is between 20-30 microns, and the average gas velocity in the fluidized bed reaction zone is between 0.30 m / s and 0.65 m / s.
[0012] The synthesis of the organosilicon monomer is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor, which includes a reaction zone cylinder, an upper expansion section and a lower cone section. The upper expansion section and the lower cone section are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the reaction zone cylinder. A U-tube heat exchange tube is installed in the reaction zone cylinder. A finished gas outlet is provided at the top of the expansion section, a cooling medium inlet and outlet are provided on the side of the expansion section, a chloromethane inlet is provided at the bottom of the lower cone section, and a plurality of chloromethane gas auxiliary inlets are provided on the side of the lower cone section.
[0013] Furthermore, U-tube heat exchange tubes are installed in the reaction zone cylinder. The U-tubes are divided into several groups. Each group of U-tubes includes several straight tubes and U-shaped elbows. The cooling medium in the U-tubes is heat transfer oil.
[0014] Furthermore, no fixed grid is provided in the axial direction of the U-shaped tube.
[0015] Going a step further, a coating is designed on the U-bend.
[0016] The present invention has the following advantages: (1) a high single-pass conversion rate of methyl chloride, reaching more than 58%; (2) a high content of dimethyldichlorosilane in the product, exceeding 87%; (3) a small diameter of silicon powder particles, a multiplied specific surface area, and a significant increase in reaction speed; (4) an appropriate increase in the reaction temperature on the basis of the traditional fluidized bed reaction temperature, raising the average reaction temperature from 300°C to 325°C, and the reaction temperature exceeding the traditional reaction temperature by more than 20°C, further increasing the reaction speed, which will increase the reaction speed by at least 2 times; (5) a reasonable selection of the diameter and wall thickness of the U-shaped tube to ensure the rigidity of the U-shaped tube, and removing the fixed grid of the heat exchange tube to avoid silicon powder blockage between the heat exchange tube and the grid, causing local overheating. (6) Due to the increased reaction rate, the gas flow rate in the bed is high, which is greater than the silicon powder carry-out rate, and the residence time of the reactants and products is short, which reduces the probability of coking and side reactions. (7) The diameter of the silicon powder particles is reduced from the traditional 80 microns to 20 microns, so that the specific surface area of the particles will increase by 16 times. By reducing the particle diameter, the reaction rate will be increased by 32 times. (8) Several auxiliary inlets for chloromethane gas are set on the side of the lower vertebral segment. These auxiliary inlets ensure that the chloromethane gas has a better uniform distribution in the radial direction of the fluidized bed, thereby improving the one-way conversion rate of chloromethane. (9) A coating is designed on the U-shaped elbow to enhance the wear resistance of the heat exchange tube and extend the service life of the elbow. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
