[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The first raw material tank 1 in the figure is used to store the first liquid raw material, and the liquid raw material is transported into the primary reactor 4 and the secondary reactor 5 by a pump for reaction. The liquid raw material is measured by a flow meter at the same time. The pump and the flow meter are interlocked to monitor the instantaneous flow rate and the total amount of feed in real time.

[0027] The second raw material tank 2 in the figure is used to store the second liquid raw material, which is transported by a pump to the primary reactor 4 for reaction. The liquid raw material is also measured by a flow meter. The pump and the flow meter are interlocked to monitor the instantaneous flow rate and the total amount of feed in real time.

[0028] The third raw material tank 3 in the figure is used to store solid raw materials. The raw material tank is equipped with a weighing device to control the feeding amount. Through the configuration of the above three raw material tanks, the feeding of solid and liquid raw materials can achieve continuous mixed feeding and the feeding ratio can be controlled during continuous feeding. It can be adjusted according to the state of different materials and reaction capacity, and it has universality.

[0029] The primary reactor 4 in the figure is a full mixed flow reactor, which can be set with different volumes to match different production capacities, has good flexibility, and can be used for gradual capacity improvement. A plurality of temperature and liquid level sensors are arranged on the reactor to monitor the reaction of the reactor. A primary transfer pump 6 and a primary heat exchanger 9 are designed after the primary reactor 4 to meet the strong exothermic reaction and make up for the problem of insufficient heat exchange area of ​​the reactor. At the same time, an overflow pipe 41 is designed for the primary reactor 4 to effectively control the discharge and prevent blockage, which is suitable for solid environments. In this way, the primary reactor 4 adds a dual discharge form of an overflow pipe 41 and a pump transfer, and uses working conditions with different media. When there are solid impurities in the material, overflow discharge can be used. When the material is a homogeneous liquid system, pump discharge can be used. At the same time, the pump uses a large flow circulation pump, which can enhance the reaction mixing. The reaction in this reactor is a continuous reaction, and the concentration in the reaction is low, which is conducive to the control of the reaction. The material in the primary reactor 4 is partially refluxed after the primary circulation pump and the primary heat exchanger 9, and part of it is continuously entered into the secondary reactor 5 through liquid level metering, and the material of the secondary reactor 5 goes to the out-of-bounds receiving tank. Through the overflow pipe 41, when the material is viscous or contains solids, the material can be discharged in the form of overflow. The material in the primary reactor 4 continuously enters the secondary reactor 5 through the overflow pipe 41, and the material in the secondary reactor 5 goes to the receiving tank outside the boundary. The heat exchange area of ​​the primary heat exchanger 9 is large due to its internal structure, which can reach several times the specific surface area of ​​the stirred tank, which can make up for the problem of insufficient area of ​​the kettle heat exchanger. The reactor is also equipped with a primary condenser 7, so that the tail gas generated by the reaction is transported to the tail gas absorption tower 10 for treatment.

[0030] The secondary reactor 5 in the figure is also a full mixed flow reactor, which can be set to different volumes to match different production capacities, has good flexibility, and can be used for gradual capacity improvement. A plurality of temperature and liquid level sensors are arranged on the reactor to monitor the reaction conditions of the reactor. A secondary condenser 8 and a primary transfer pump 6 are designed after the secondary reactor 5. The secondary condenser 8 thus transports the tail gas generated by the reaction to the tail gas absorption tower 10 for treatment, and the primary transfer pump 6 realizes the reaction cycle of the reactants in the reactor.

[0031] The primary condenser 7, the secondary condenser 8, the primary material transfer pump 6 and the primary heat exchanger 9 in the figure are all existing components, and their functions can also refer to the existing technology.

[0032] The working principle of this CSTR reactor is: two liquid raw materials enter the primary reactor 4 after being measured by a flow meter, and the solid raw materials enter the primary reactor 4 continuously by weighing and vacuum feeding to ensure the homogeneity of the materials. After the reaction, the heat is transferred through the cooling water of the reactor jacket, and the setting of the primary heat exchanger 9 outside the reactor can flexibly increase the heat exchange area required for the reaction, which is conducive to the heat transfer and avoids the problem of insufficient heat exchange area of ​​the kettle reaction used in the existing equipment. When over-temperature occurs, the reaction device starts in a chain, automatically cuts off the feed and adds cooling medium to the reactor, interrupting the reaction to ensure the safety of the reaction. When over-temperature is uncontrollable, the material enters the buffer tank through the explosion vent. .
