Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fluidization equipment, in particular to a large-scale scattered silicon-carbon fluidized bed. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fluidized bed is widely used in chemical industry, material, energy and other fields due to its advantages of uniform material mixing, high heat and mass transfer efficiency, and convenient continuous operation. In the preparation process of silicon-carbon materials (such as silicon-carbon negative electrode materials and silicon carbide ceramic raw materials), the combination or conversion of silicon and carbon needs to be realized through high-temperature reaction, and the fluidized bed becomes one of the core equipment for such reactions.
[0003] The existing fluidized bed reactor is feasible for small size specifications, i.e. below DN800 in diameter, but as the equipment is scaled up, the diameter of the equipment becomes larger and the height of the bed layer becomes higher. After the raw gas (including any one and a mixture of multiple of inert gas, silane gas and carbon source gas) enters from the distributor, it is continuously consumed during upward flow, resulting in a large concentration gradient between the bottom and the top of the bed layer. The bottom particles are in contact with high-concentration reactants, which may generate a dense but excessively thick carbon layer, while the top particles can only generate a sparse carbon layer due to insufficient concentration of reactants. The thickness and properties of the coating layer of the entire bed layer product are not uniform. At the same time, due to the increase in the cross-sectional area of the bed layer, the gas does not uniformly pass through the bed layer, but forms large bubbles and merges into a gas column, directly penetrating through the bed layer, resulting in uneven gas-solid contact, poor mass and heat transfer capacity, insufficient product uniformity, and low raw material utilization rate. SUMMARY

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution: a large-scale dispersed silicon-carbon fluidized bed, comprising a reactor shell 1, which is fixed to the ground by a support. A gas distributor 2 is installed inside the reactor shell 1. A first stirring mechanism 3 for stirring materials is installed above the gas distributor 2 inside the reactor shell 1. A first air inlet pipe 5 is provided at the reactor shell 1, one end of which is connected to the gas distributor 2. The first air inlet pipe 5 is connected to a second air inlet pipe 6 via a three-way valve. The second air inlet pipe 6 is connected to the first stirring mechanism 3, forming a structure where the discharge of gas through the second air inlet pipe 6 causes the first stirring mechanism 3 to operate. A second stirring mechanism 4 for stirring materials is installed above the first stirring mechanism 3 on the reactor shell 1. One end of the first air inlet pipe 5 is connected to an external raw material gas source, providing... The gas can be any one or a mixture of inert gas, silane gas, and carbon source gas. A valve 18 is installed between the first inlet pipe 5 and the second inlet pipe 6 at the other end. A valve 18 is also installed on the second inlet pipe 6. During use, part of the raw material gas enters the reactor shell 1 through the gas distributor 2, and part of the raw material gas enters the reactor shell 1 after passing through the second inlet pipe 6 and the first stirring mechanism 3 in sequence. This replenishes the raw material gas that is continuously consumed during the upward flow from the gas distributor 2, and balances the raw material gas concentration at the upper and lower heights of the reactor shell 1, so as to make the coating layer thickness and properties of the product uniform. At the same time, the entry of the raw material gas drives the first stirring mechanism 3 to operate, and then cooperates with the second stirring mechanism 4 to break up the bubbles and disperse the large bubbles, so as to achieve the purpose of uniform gas-solid mixing.
[0025] Furthermore, the first stirring mechanism 3 includes several stirring components 3.1, each stirring component 3.1 arranged axially along the reactor shell 1. The reactor shell 1 is provided with a feed pipe 7, on which a valve 18 is installed. The feed pipe 7 is located above the lowest stirring component 3.1. Silicon carbon raw material is added into the reactor shell 1 through the feed pipe 7. After the silicon carbon raw material enters, it is dispersed by the stirring components 3.1 and the gas-solid mixing is promoted. The feed pipe 7 can be located at the highest point of the second stirring mechanism 4. After the silicon carbon raw material enters, it can be dispersed by the second stirring mechanism 4 and each stirring component 3.1 in sequence.
[0026] Furthermore, the first stirring mechanism 3 also includes a vent pipe 3.2, which is coaxial with the reactor shell 1 and fixedly connected to the reactor shell 1. The vent pipe 3.2 is rotatably connected to each stirring component 3.1, and each stirring component 3.1 is connected to the second air inlet pipe 6 through the vent pipe 3.2. A connecting rod 3.3 is welded to the upper end of the vent pipe 3.2, and a connecting pipe 3.4 is welded to the upper part of the lower end of the vent pipe 3.2. The connecting rod 3.3 and the connecting pipe 3.4 are welded to the reactor shell 1, thereby fixing the vent pipe 3.2 to the reactor shell 1 and connecting the connecting pipe 3.4 to the vent pipe 3.2. One end of the connecting pipe 3.4 extending outside the reactor shell 1 is connected to the second air inlet pipe 6.
[0027] Furthermore, there are four sets of stirring components 3.1, and other suitable numbers can be arranged according to actual conditions. Each stirring component 3.1 includes a sleeve 3.1.1, which is rotatably connected to a vent pipe 3.2. The sleeve 3.1.1 is fitted over the vent pipe 3.2. A sealing ring is installed at the connection between the sleeve 3.1.1 and the vent pipe 3.2. Several stirring tubes 3.1.2 are fixedly connected to the sleeve 3.1.1, with two stirring tubes 3.1.2 welded to each sleeve 3.1.1. Each stirring tube 3.1.2 is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 3.1.1, and the stirring tubes 3.1.2 are evenly distributed in a ring around the circumference of the sleeve 3.1.1. A jet nozzle 3.1.3 is opened on the rear side of each sleeve 3.1.1 in the direction of rotation, and each jet nozzle 3.1.3 communicates with the vent pipe 3.2. The jet direction of each jet nozzle 3.1.3 is perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 3.1.1 and the axis of the stirring tube 3.1.2. A stirring rod 3.1.4 is welded and fixed to the end of each stirring tube 3.1.2 away from the sleeve 3.1.1. The vent pipe 3.2 has a through hole at the sleeve 3.1.1, and the sleeve 3.1.1 has a vent hole at the connection with the stirring tube 3.1.2, so that each jet nozzle 3.1.3 communicates with the vent pipe 3.2. The vent pipe 3.2 is connected to the second air inlet pipe 6, so that the gas in the second air inlet pipe 6 is ejected through the jet nozzle 3.1.3. When the gas is ejected, the reaction force generated pushes the stirring tube 3.1.2 to rotate relative to the vent pipe 3.2, thereby forming a structure in which the first stirring mechanism 3 operates by the discharge of gas in the second air inlet pipe 6.
[0028] Furthermore, the gas distributor 2 is provided with several air inlets 2.1, and each air inlet 2.1 is evenly distributed in a ring around the axis of the reactor shell 1. The number of air inlets 2.1 is a suitable number, such as five, six, or seven, so as to disperse the gas. Under the same gas velocity, the distribution is more uniform and the fluidization effect is better than that of a single air inlet 2.1, which delays the time for the gas to coalesce into large bubbles.
[0029] Furthermore, the second stirring mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 4.1, which is rotatably connected to the reactor shell 1. The rotating shaft 4.1 is rotatably connected to the top of the reactor shell 1 through a sealed bearing. A stirring blade 4.2 is welded and fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 4.1. The stirring blade 4.2 has a frame structure. The part of the upper end of the rotating shaft 4.1 that extends out of the reactor shell 1 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4.3 through a coupling. The drive motor 4.3 is a variable frequency motor. The drive motor 4.3 is bolted to the reactor shell 1, thereby further stirring the upper material and breaking up the air bubbles.
[0030] Furthermore, the reactor shell 1 is encased in a first heating assembly 8 for heating the reactor shell 1. The first heating assembly 8 is a prior art device, such as an electric heating wire heating device or an electromagnetic induction heating device, and will not be described in detail here. The reactor shell 1 is made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Several sets of pressure detection assemblies 10 for detecting the internal pressure of the reactor shell 1 and temperature measuring assemblies 11 for detecting the internal and external temperatures of the reactor shell 1 are arranged in the axial direction. The pressure detection assembly 10 includes a connecting pipe connected to the inside of the reactor shell 1. After the connecting pipe extends out of the reactor shell 1, it is connected in sequence to a filter, a manual valve, and a three-way connecting pipe. One side of the three-way connecting pipe is connected to a pressure transmitter, and the other side is connected to a pneumatic diaphragm valve. The pneumatic diaphragm valve controls the nitrogen to purge at regular intervals to ensure the accuracy of pressure detection. The pressure detection assembly 10 is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The temperature measuring assembly 11 is divided into external temperature detection and internal temperature detection. The external temperature detection is mainly carried out by thermocouples to detect the temperature of the outer wall of the reactor, and the internal temperature... The detection mainly involves welding a connecting pipe through the inside and outside of the reactor shell 1. A thermocouple is inserted into the connecting pipe to detect the inner wall temperature. A filter assembly 12 for gas-solid separation is installed on the upper part of the reactor shell 1. The filter assembly 12 is a ceramic filter tube or a sintered metal filter element installed on the upper part of the reactor shell 1 to achieve gas-solid separation and prevent material from being discharged with the gas. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The top of the reactor shell 1 is provided with a first outlet 13 and a second outlet 14. The first outlet 13 is connected to a rupture relief assembly 15 for releasing abnormal high pressure. The rupture relief assembly 15 is a rupture disc device in the prior art. When the rupture disc trigger pressure is reached, the rupture disc automatically bursts open to release the pressure. The second outlet 14 is connected to an active pressure relief assembly 16 for releasing high pressure. The active pressure relief assembly 16 includes a safety valve. When the pressure inside the reactor rises, the safety valve is actively opened to release the pressure. The bottom of the reactor shell 1 is provided with a discharge port 17, and a valve 18 is installed at the discharge port 17.
[0031] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific embodiments and examples, but these are not intended to limit the invention. Many modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
