Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical equipment, and specifically relates to a tower type catalytic oxidation reactor. Background Art
[0002] Organic compounds containing organic disulfide bonds are usually called disulfides, and their general structural formula is RSSR. Functionalized disulfides are important intermediates for fine chemicals and are widely used in various fields such as protein construction, natural products, organic products, medicine, and nanomaterials.
[0003] At present, the representative process for producing disulfides such as dimethyl disulfide and di-tert-butyl disulfide is the liquid phase catalytic oxidation process of sodium methyl mercaptan and sodium tert-butyl mercaptan. If continuous production is to be carried out, a tower catalytic oxidation reactor is required. The tower catalytic oxidation reactor includes a tower body, and an upper plate and a lower plate arranged in an upper and lower interval are installed in the inner cavity of the tower body; the upper plate and the lower plate divide the inner cavity of the tower body into a discharge chamber, a catalytic chamber and a packing chamber arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the catalytic chamber is connected to the packing chamber through the first through hole on the lower plate, and the discharge chamber is connected to the catalytic chamber through the second through hole on the upper plate; a partition plate is installed in the catalytic chamber, and several partition plates divide the catalytic chamber into a plurality of chamber units arranged in sequence from top to bottom; two adjacent chamber units are connected through the third through hole on the partition plate; a feed port located below the lower plate is provided on the side wall of the tower body, and the feed port is connected to the packing chamber; a product outlet connected to the discharge chamber is provided at the top of the tower body. The mixture is introduced into the tower body through the feed inlet for reaction, and the generated product is discharged from the product outlet.
[0004] Taking the production of dimethyl disulfide as an example, the preparation process of the tower catalytic oxidation reactor includes: pre-mixing the sodium methyl mercaptan solution and oxygen in a pipeline, and then passing the mixture of the sodium methyl mercaptan solution and oxygen into a static mixer for full mixing, so that the oxygen is evenly dispersed in the sodium methyl mercaptan solution. The fully mixed mixture is passed into the packing chamber through the feed port, and further mixed with the stainless steel random packing or granular activated carbon packing in the packing chamber. As the mixture is continuously passed, the mixture rises through the first through hole on the lower plate and enters the chamber unit located below, and contacts the catalyst in the chamber unit. The mixture continues to rise through the third through hole on the partition plate and enters the chamber unit located above, and contacts the catalyst in the chamber unit. Under the action of the catalyst, sodium methyl mercaptan reacts with oxygen to generate dimethyl disulfide and sodium hydroxide. As the mixture continues to rise, the amount of sodium methyl mercaptan and oxygen in the mixture gradually decreases, and the generated oxidation product gradually increases. The oxidation product enters the discharge chamber through the second through hole on the upper plate, and finally flows out from the product outlet. The main components of the oxidation product include sodium hydroxide, dimethyl disulfide, and water, and the minor components include unoxidized sodium methyl mercaptan and unconsumed oxygen.
[0005] Although the tower catalytic oxidation reactor is suitable for continuous production, the reaction of sodium methyl mercaptan and oxygen to produce dimethyl disulfide and sodium hydroxide is an exothermic reaction. The heat released by the reaction heats up the mixture in the tower body cavity, and the heat is mainly dissipated through the tower wall. If the heat dissipation is not timely, the temperature in the tower body will rise rapidly. If the temperature is too high and exceeds the set value, it will easily cause the tower to explode, which poses a great safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0018] A safety valve 11 is installed on the top of the tower body 1. A shutdown liquid withdrawal port 101 connected to the packing chamber 105 is provided at the bottom of the tower body 1. A valve is installed at the shutdown liquid withdrawal port 101. During the preparation process of dimethyl disulfide, the valve is in a closed state. A remote pressure gauge 12 and a remote thermometer 10 are installed on the tower body 1. The remote pressure gauge 12 detects the pressure in the inner cavity of the tower body 1 in real time, and the remote thermometer 10 detects the temperature in the inner cavity of the tower body 1 in real time. This is the prior art. The upper plate 2, the lower plate 3 and the partition plate 4 are all arranged horizontally and are welded to the inner side wall of the tower body 1. This is the prior art. The partition plate 4 is located between the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3. A first manhole 7, a second manhole 8 and a third manhole 9 are provided on the side wall of the tower body 1.
