Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sorbitol processing equipment, in particular to a sorbitol reaction kettle which is convenient for unloading. Background Art
[0002] Sorbitol is a widely used fine chemical, which is widely used in many industries such as medicine, food, cosmetics, tobacco, etc. Different industries have different quality requirements for sorbitol. At present, the production and preparation methods of sorbitol include catalytic hydrogenation, electrolytic reduction, and biological fermentation. For the preparation of industrial-grade products sorbitol with low purity requirements, catalytic hydrogenation has the advantages of simple preparation method and low cost, but the use of catalyst types in catalytic hydrogenation is limited, and the purity of the product needs to be improved. Sorbitol often needs to use a sorbitol reactor in the preparation process. Existing sorbitol reactors are usually designed with discharge ports for convenient unloading. These discharge ports are usually located at the bottom of the reactor, and sorbitol can be easily transferred from the reactor to other containers or equipment for subsequent processing or transportation.
[0003] Now, after a period of sorbitol production, the purity of hydrogen in the reactor will decrease, resulting in a long reaction time. If the hydrogen in the reactor is not properly treated or replaced, it may affect the production efficiency and product quality of sorbitol. The method of venting the hydrogen and replacing it can ensure the purity of hydrogen in the production process, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. However, in the process of venting the hydrogen in the reactor, since hydrogen is a highly flammable and explosive gas, a hydrogen flow rate that is too fast will cause explosions and static electricity ignition, making the hydrogen replacement process prone to safety hazards and increasing the risk of accidents. Moreover, if the hydrogen flow rate is too fast during the replacement process, the residence time of hydrogen in the reactor or pipeline will be shortened, resulting in insufficient reaction between hydrogen and reactants, increasing hydrogen consumption, and affecting normal production to a certain extent.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new sorbitol reactor that is convenient for unloading to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the related art, the sorbitol reactor provided by the utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] The utility model provides a sorbitol reactor with convenient material discharge. When the hydrogen in the reactor body is emptied and replaced, the hydrogen in the reactor passes through a pressure-stabilizing valve arranged on one side of the reactor.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a sorbitol reactor convenient for unloading includes a reactor body 1, a hydrogen buffer tank 6 arranged on one side of the reactor, and a pressure swing adsorption raw gas buffer tank 7. A pressure-stabilizing valve 8 is arranged on one side of the reactor body 1. One end of the pressure-stabilizing valve 8 is connected to the gas input port of the filter mechanism through a pipeline, and the gas output port of the filter mechanism is connected to the gas input port of the hydrogen buffer tank 6 through a pipeline. The pressure-stabilizing valve 8 is connected to the hydrogen buffer tank 6 through a pipeline. The pressure-stabilizing valve 8 plays a role in stabilizing the hydrogen pressure and controlling it within a certain range to avoid safety problems caused by pressure fluctuations.

When hydrogen enters the fixed column 10, the staggered arrangement of the sieve plates 13 can make the hydrogen move in the gaps formed between the sieve plates 13. The hydrogen constantly changes direction during the flow, which prolongs the movement path of the hydrogen and slows down the flow rate of the hydrogen, thereby increasing the contact time between the hydrogen and the sieve plate 13 and the molecular sieve on the sieve plate 13. Through the selective adsorption of the molecular sieve, the impurity molecules in the gas can be adsorbed and the flow fluctuation of the hydrogen can be alleviated, so that the pure hydrogen can enter the next step through the molecular sieve.

A motor 4 is connected to the middle of the upper end of the reactor body, and a sealing device 5 is sleeved at the connection between the motor 4 and the reactor body. The sealing device 5 adopts a magnetic seal or a mechanical seal.
[0023] The working principle provided by the utility model is as follows: when the hydrogen in the reactor body 1 is vented and replaced, the hydrogen in the reactor passes through the pressure-stabilizing valve 8 arranged on one side of the reactor, enters the installation frame 9 through the pipeline, and enters the hydrogen buffer tank 6 after being filtered through the sieve plate 13 arranged on the fixed column 10.
