Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical production, and in particular relates to a paraformaldehyde depolymerization device. Background Art
[0002] Formaldehyde is an important basic organic chemical raw material, mainly used in synthetic plastics, synthetic resins, chemical fibers, dyes, coatings, medicines, pesticides and other industries. However, due to its low boiling point, active properties, poor storage stability, high packaging requirements, high transportation costs, and inconvenient use, formaldehyde is not convenient for long-distance transportation and convenient use from a safety and economic perspective, and is usually further prepared into solid polyformaldehyde.
[0003] As paraformaldehyde is increasingly widely used, its depolymerization becomes particularly important. Existing methods for depolymerizing paraformaldehyde are mostly high-temperature intermittent reactions, which consume a lot of energy and cannot stably and continuously produce depolymerization liquid, and are not suitable for continuous production. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a paraformaldehyde depolymerization device, including a paraformaldehyde feed tank, an alcohol solution feed tank, a depolymerization liquid storage tank, a tubular reactor and a reflux pipe, wherein the tubular reactor comprises a heat exchange sleeve, a feed port and a discharge port, the feed port is provided with a four-way interface, the discharge port is provided with a three-way interface, the heat exchange sleeve is provided with a sleeve inlet and a sleeve outlet; the paraformaldehyde feed tank is provided with a first outlet and a first feed pipe, the first outlet is connected to the four-way interface through the first feed pipe, and the four-way interface is connected to the four-way interface. The first feed pipe is provided with a first feed pump; the alcohol solution feed tank is provided with a second outlet and a second feed pipe, the second outlet is connected to the four-way interface through the second feed pipe, and the second feed pipe is provided with a second feed pump; the reflux pipe is connected to the three-way interface and the four-way interface, and the reflux pipe is provided with a reflux pump; the depolymerization liquid storage tank is provided with a third outlet and a third feed pipe, the third feed pipe is connected to the three-way interface, and the third feed pipe is provided with a valve.
[0005] Preferably, the first feed pump is a screw feed pump. Since polymethanol is small solid particles, a screw feed pump is more convenient for transporting solid particles.
[0006] Preferably, the medium in the heat exchange sleeve is hot water or heat transfer oil.
[0007] The utility model also includes other devices or components that can enable the paraformaldehyde depolymerization device to be used normally, which are all conventional technical means in the art. In addition, the pipelines, pumps, feed tanks, and storage tank devices not limited in the utility model all adopt conventional technical means in the art.
[0008] The working principle of the utility model is that, under the conveyance of the first feed pump and the second feed pump, the paraformaldehyde and the alcohol solution enter the feed port of the tubular reactor through the first feed pipe and the second feed pipe, the materials flow and mix in the tubular reactor, and are heated under the action of the heat exchange sleeve, so that the paraformaldehyde is more easily dissolved in the alcohol solution, and the completely reacted materials flow out from the discharge port of the tubular reactor and enter the depolymerization liquid storage tank for subsequent processes; when there are still undissolved paraformaldehyde particles in the outflowing formaldehyde alcohol solution, the reflux pump can be turned on to make the materials flow back to the feed port of the tubular reactor through the reflux pipe, re-enter the tubular reactor for reaction again, until the paraformaldehyde is completely dissolved.
[0009] The utility model has the beneficial effects of enabling the depolymerization of paraformaldehyde to proceed at a relatively low temperature; the depolymerization reactor adopts a tubular reactor, which can stably and continuously produce depolymerization liquid and is suitable for continuous production; the reflux pipe can increase the back mixing of materials and ensure that the paraformaldehyde is completely dissolved.
