Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal chemical engineering, in particular to an induction heating type pulse heating and chemical reaction device. Background Art

[0002] Catalytic reactions play a vital role in the chemical and energy industries and are widely used in the utilization and transformation of fossil raw materials such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal, decarbonization and emission reduction in the chemical industry, and hydrogen production by electrolysis of water. For the majority of thermal chemical processes, thermal catalytic reactors provide the necessary heat to activate catalysts and reactant molecules, accelerate the rate of chemical reactions, and thus improve the production efficiency of the catalytic process. Obviously, the optimal design of thermal chemical reactors is of great significance for promoting the development of the chemical industry, improving product quality, reducing production costs, protecting the environment, and achieving sustainable development.

[0003] Fixed bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, and ebullating bed reactors are widely used in traditional thermal chemical industries. Compared with fluidized bed reactors and ebullating bed reactors, fixed bed reactors have at least the following advantages: the catalyst in the fixed bed reactor is filled in the reactor, has a large surface area, and can efficiently catalyze the reaction; the operation of the fixed bed reactor is relatively simple, and it is easy to achieve continuous production, which is suitable for large-scale industrial applications; the fixed bed reactor can control the reaction temperature by external heating or cooling to keep the reaction conditions relatively stable; due to the gaps between the catalyst particles, the fixed bed reactor usually has a lower pressure drop, which is conducive to reducing energy consumption; the fixed bed reactor is suitable for gas-solid, liquid-solid or gas-liquid-solid multiphase reactions, has good applicability and is easy to replace the catalyst; because the temperature distribution inside the fixed bed reactor is relatively uniform, it can reduce the formation of hot spots or cold spots, thereby reducing the occurrence of side reactions.

[0004] Chinese patent CN220803143U discloses several designs of tubular fixed bed reactors in the field of catalytic thermal chemical industry, which preliminarily realizes the precise control of temperature during thermal catalytic reaction. The reactor is easy to manufacture, simple to operate, and has high reaction efficiency. Chinese patent CN118083914A discloses a thermal chemical synthesis method using an electrically heated fixed bed, in which electric heating is used to control the reaction temperature, which greatly solves the problem of by-products of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen chloride in organic fluorine-chlorine exchange reactions.

[0005] In general, thermal chemical reactors are developing in a more efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent direction to meet increasingly stringent industrial needs and environmental standards. The existing technology still has the problem of high heat loss caused by external heating and low heating efficiency of thermal chemical reactors. In addition, due to the inherent differences in heat transfer properties of different materials, temperature gradients are prone to exist inside existing reactors, which is not conducive to improving the selectivity of thermal catalytic reactions. Furthermore, thermal catalytic reactions are often accompanied by the release or absorption of a large amount of heat, which causes fluctuations in the actual reaction temperature inside existing thermal chemical reactors.

[0026] The control circuit controls the heating power and time of the induction heating coil 600. After the induction heating coil 600 is powered on, the catalyst layer 200 realizes contactless self-heating, and the self-heating effect of the uniform heating substrate effectively avoids the temperature gradient during heating, and improves the temperature uniformity of the catalyst layer 200. It should be noted that the fixed bed reactor 100 is an insulator, and the material of the fixed bed reactor 100 is selected from one of quartz, corundum, and boron nitride; the heat exchange cavity 300 can be filled with heat-conducting gas or heat-conducting liquid for cooling.

[0028] The plug 104 is used to position and fix the catalyst layer 200. Furthermore, the setting of the plug 104 will not affect the passage of gas in the fixed bed reactor 100, and a frame structure can be adopted; the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 of the fixed bed reactor 100 are both connected to a tee 105, and the solenoid valves 106 on both sides of the tee 105 can control the flow of the incoming gas.

[0029] In this embodiment, the catalyst layer 200 is a porous integral structure consisting of a heating substrate and a powder catalyst.

[0030] The catalyst layer 200 is composed of a heating substrate and a powdered catalyst. The heating substrate is selected from one or more of carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbonized biomass, carbonized wood, honeycomb graphite, carbon microspheres, foam metal, powdered sintered metal, metal wire, mesh, mesh column, metal shavings ball, and metal microspheres. The catalyst layer 200 is configured as a porous integral structure, which can increase the uniformity of contact between reactants and improve the reaction effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, a circulation pump 303 is installed on the water inlet of the side wall of the heat exchange cavity 300 , and a water outlet 302 is also provided on the top of the heat exchange cavity 300 .

[0032] The side wall of the heat exchange cavity 300 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet 302, and the circulating pump 303 is used to control the heat exchange flow rate. When cooling is required, cooling gas is first introduced into the fixed bed reactor 100 through the air inlet 102 to control the temperature and speed of the inlet gas, and the heat is taken away by the introduced gas. When the required temperature cannot be reached within a specific time, heat-conducting gas or heat-conducting liquid is introduced into the heat exchange cavity 300 for forced cooling. The heat-conducting gas can be hydrogen or argon, and the heat-conducting liquid can be water, salt water or silicone oil.

[0033] In this embodiment, the temperature measurement system includes an infrared temperature measurement probe 401 arranged on the fixed bed reactor 100, a first thermocouple 402 fixed on the inner side of the heat exchange cavity 300, a second thermocouple 403 fixed at the air inlet 102, and a third thermocouple 404 fixed at the air outlet 103.

The single chip computer 507 controls the heating power of the induction heating power supply 509 through the relay 508, so that the program-controlled pulse process heating rate is 500℃ / min~1000000℃ / min. By controlling the electromagnetic valve 106 and the circulating pump 303, the cooling rate can reach 10℃ / min~100000℃ / min, and the time control accuracy is 1us~1h.

[0037] The working principle of the induction heating pulse heating and chemical reaction device of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] When in use, the single chip microcomputer 507 is used to precisely control the power supply to the induction heating coil 600, so as to realize contactless instantaneous heating of the catalyst layer 200 in the fixed bed reactor 100, and quickly heat up. The reaction gas is introduced into the air inlet 102 at the bottom of the fixed bed reactor 100 to react with the catalyst. The instantaneous heating avoids the heat loss in the heat transfer heating process and improves the reaction effect. When the reaction is completed and cooling is required, the cooling reaction gas is introduced into the fixed bed reactor 100 through the air inlet 102, and the temperature and speed of the intake air are controlled by monitoring the temperature measurement system, and the heat is taken away by the introduced gas. When rapid cooling cannot be achieved within a specific time, on the basis of air cooling, a heat-conducting gas or a heat-conducting liquid is further introduced into the heat exchange cavity 300, and the heat exchange flow is controlled by the circulating pump 303 to achieve the heat exchange forced cooling effect.
