Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of polyester production, in particular to an externally heated double-chamber esterification reaction device. Background Art
[0002] There are two existing polyester production methods. One is an internal circulation fully mixed esterification reactor. The esterification reactor is mainly composed of a cylindrical barrel, an internally extended stirrer installed on the top of the barrel, a heated coil / tube bundle and a guide tube. Under the stirring action of the internal stirrer, the material forms an up and down circulation of the material, the material is fully mixed, the heat transfer coefficient is enhanced and the rate of the esterification reaction is increased. There are problems such as a long required reaction time, large equipment volume, difficulty in manufacturing, transportation and hoisting, and high power consumption. The other is an "external heating" esterification reactor, which is a series connection of a heater and a reactor in structure. The heater and the reactor are connected by a pipeline. Under the action of the density difference, the material circulates internally between the heater and the reactor, and the water generated by the reaction enters the reactor together with ethylene glycol for removal. The "external heating" reactor is usually a self-circulating type, which forms a circulation by relying on the density difference of the material before and after entering the heater. The esterification temperature of the self-circulating reactor is about 285℃, and a very high EG / PTA slurry molar ratio (1.85-2.0) is used. The purpose is to further increase the density difference by evaporating a large amount of free EG. A large amount of free EG evaporates in the esterification reactor. This part of EG does not participate in the esterification reaction, resulting in a large amount of heat waste. There are many heat exchange tubes inside the heater, which can easily cause uneven flow distribution. The newly added EG / PTA slurry has poor dispersion effect, which can easily cause mist entrainment.
[0003] CN212524113U discloses an external circulation multi-stage esterification reactor, including a reactor device and a tubular heater, wherein the reactor device includes a primary reactor and a secondary reactor, and utilizes the plug flow of materials through the full mixing device between the two devices to achieve a greater degree of conversion of reaction raw materials into reaction products. However, the reaction process is too long, the flow rate is prone to uneven distribution, and it is difficult to drain the materials when the machine is shut down, which easily leads to residual materials, affecting the product quality when the machine is started.
[0004] CN1248777C discloses a container device for reaction or separation using external circulation heating, including a container and an external heat exchanger, which solves the problem of insufficient flow caused by the power generated by thermosiphon alone being too small, and increases the circulation flow of materials. However, its esterification rate is low, only 92%, which increases the burden on subsequent reactors.
[0005] CN101613467B discloses a hybrid polyester esterification reactor, including a heating reaction tank and an evaporation reaction tank, and also including a power mixing section, the outlet of the heating reaction tank is connected to the inlet of the evaporation reaction tank, the power mixing section is provided with a venturi tube and a power pump matched with the venturi tube, the inlet and outlet of the power mixing section are respectively connected to the outlet of the evaporation reaction tank and the inlet of the heating reaction tank, thereby forming a circulation channel for the material, and the venturi tube is provided with a suction port for introducing new slurry. The invention utilizes the venturi tube to mix the slurry while sucking the slurry, effectively improving the mixing effect, and at the same time combining the power pump and the heating power to effectively form the circulation of the slurry, so that the overall structure of the reactor is simpler, the operation is simpler, the material mixing is more uniform, and it is more conducive to the esterification reaction. However, because it is provided with a power mixing section, the energy consumption required for the reaction process is increased. In the production process, once the power pump fails seriously, the device will be shut down.
[0006] Therefore, finding an esterification reaction device with simple structure, uniform flow distribution, high esterification efficiency, low energy consumption and good mixing effect is a problem that needs to be solved at present. Utility Model Content
[0007] The utility model aims to provide an esterification reaction device with simpler structure, shorter process, uniform flow distribution, better mixing effect, high esterification efficiency, low comprehensive energy consumption and wide application range.

The reactor is connected to the upper part of the tubular heater through a short tube, and the bottom of the reactor is connected to the bottom of the tubular heater through a U-shaped pipe. The material is internally circulated among the tubular heater, the reactor, the short tube and the U-shaped pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the annular partition is concentric with the cylindrical body.
[0014] Preferably, a small number of openings are provided on the annular partition, and the installation height of the annular partition does not exceed 1 / 2 of the height of the cylindrical body.
[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the annular partition is welded to the lower elliptical head, and a material discharge port is provided at the welding point between the bottom of the annular partition and the lower elliptical head.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the annular partition is provided with equidistantly arranged baffles, which are welded to the cylindrical body and the annular partition. The baffles play a role in circumferentially distributing the material flow, which can avoid short circuits of the material and dead corners of the material flow; the material flowing through the baffles enters the inner chamber at a certain angle to the horizontal plane, which not only enhances the effect of material mixing and dispersion, but also helps to reduce the entrainment of EG steam mist.
[0017] As a preferred method, the material flows in from the inner chamber and then flows out downward through the outer chamber, which can form an axial mixed flow, which is more conducive to the heat and mass transfer of the material, shortens the material circulation process, and avoids the phenomenon that the material cannot be completely discharged during shutdown.
[0018] Preferably, a regulating valve arranged on the gas phase outlet can control the pressure of the inner chamber. Under the rated production load, the pressure of the inner chamber is 0.02 MPa higher than that of the outer chamber.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped pipe is a jacket structure. The jacket refers to a jacket added outside the pipe wall, and a heating medium can be passed into the jacket to heat the material in the pipe.
[0020] Preferably, the tubular heater is installed vertically, and the heating medium is gas-phase-induced. The material flows in the pipeline, and the heating medium flows in the shell of the tubular heater.
[0021] Preferably, the bottom cover of the tubular heater is provided with a second material inlet, and the second material inlet of the tubular heater is provided with an anti-vortex baffle and a perforated plate liquid distributor.
[0022] A perforated plate liquid distributor is arranged at the bottom of the tubular heater to evenly distribute the material entering the tubular heater, thereby avoiding overheating of part of the circulating material inside the tubular heater and causing a decrease in product quality, thereby improving product quality.
[0023] Preferably, the second material inlet of the tubular heater is connected to the U-shaped pipe. The esterified EG is directly injected into the U-shaped pipe without cooling, which can reduce energy consumption.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the U-shaped pipe is a jacket structure. The jacket refers to a jacket added outside the pipe wall, and a heating medium can be passed into the jacket to heat the material in the pipe.
[0026] Preferably, an esterification product outlet is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped pipe.

[0028] Preferably, the axes of the four injection nozzles are on the same horizontal plane, and the axes of the four injection nozzles form a regular quadrilateral.
[0029] The four injection nozzles can inject the same material (EG / PTA slurry), different materials (EG / PTA slurry, esterified EG, catalyst and other additives), or a mixture of multiple materials (EG / PTA slurry + esterified EG + catalyst). Multi-point injection of EG / PTA slurry is conducive to the mixing and dispersion of the injected material and the circulating material.
[0030] The catalyst is injected from the bottom of the tubular heater, which speeds up the reaction of PTA and EG, reduces the heating temperature of the circulating material (the heating temperature is 260-270°C), and reduces heat consumption.
[0031] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0032] The structural design of injecting the catalyst into the reactor at the bottom of the tubular heater accelerates the reaction rate of PTA and EG, reduces the heating temperature of the circulating material (heating temperature is 260-270℃), and reduces heat consumption. The esterification reactor is designed with a double-chamber and double-pressure structure to improve the equilibrium esterification rate. The design of the baffle plate welded on the top of the inner chamber of the esterification reactor not only strengthens the mixing and dispersion effect of the materials, but also makes the distribution of the material flow more uniform, avoiding the dead corner of the material flow; the material flowing through the baffle plate enters the outer chamber of the esterification reactor at a certain angle, which is conducive to reducing the entrainment of EG steam. The structural design of the annular baffle plate with holes inside the esterification reactor allows the material to flow into the inner chamber of the esterification reactor and then flow out downward from the outer chamber of the esterification reactor to form an axial mixed flow, and the circulating material flow is short, avoiding the image of the material not being able to be discharged completely during shutdown. The structural design of the high-temperature esterified EG (>160℃) directly injected at the bottom of the tubular heater reduces the density of the circulating flow inside the tubular heater, improves the circulation power of the circulating material, and reduces the heat consumption of the tubular heater. A perforated plate liquid distributor is arranged at the bottom of the tubular heater to evenly distribute the material entering the tubular heater, thereby avoiding overheating of part of the circulating material inside the tubular heater and causing a decrease in product quality, thereby improving product quality.
