Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petrochemical polyester detection, and particularly relates to an on-line esterification rate analysis system. Background Art

[0002] In the petrochemical polyester industry, the content of terminal carboxyl groups (—COOH) is an important index in the process of slice production. The level of its content directly affects the product quality and the direct economic benefits of the enterprise. Polyester production involves polymerization reactions, which are processes that convert low-molecular-weight monomers into high-molecular-weight polymers. Polymers have important properties such as plasticity, fiber-forming, film-forming, and high elasticity that low-molecular-weight monomers do not possess, and can be widely used as plastics, fibers, rubbers, coatings, adhesives, and other applications. This material is composed of more than one structural unit (monomer) and is a high-molecular compound synthesized by repeated reactions of monomers.

[0003] During the polymerization reaction process, controlling the melt esterification rate is the most important and direct means to ensure the content of terminal carboxyl groups (—COOH) in the slices. The esterification rate is a measure of the degree of esterification. In traditional solutions, the esterification rate can usually only be obtained through regular sampling and analysis by laboratory technicians. For example, the laboratory titration method is often used, with an analysis frequency of 1 time per shift (8 hours per shift), and the analysis time requires more than 2 hours, which has a certain lag, and there are errors caused by analysis equipment, human factors, operation, and sampling methods. This makes it easy to cause when the esterification rate data is abnormal, it is impossible to promptly determine whether it is the real data or the analysis error, and it is necessary to take samples and analyze again. In addition, the process of analysis and testing requires personnel to take regular shifts, consuming a large amount of labor costs.

[0004] Currently, there are also some devices for measuring the esterification rate through a bypass, such as Figure 1 As shown, two reactors 6 are connected through a melt main pipe 04. A booster pump 01, a density flow sensor 02, and a relief valve 03 are connected in series to form a bypass branch 05, and this bypass branch 05 is connected in parallel with the melt main pipe 04. When the bypass branch 05 is in use, additional heat preservation measures are required, and a booster pump 01 needs to be set. Moreover, if the gas content in the melt passing through the bypass branch 05 is relatively high, it will affect the measurement data, resulting in large fluctuations in the results. Using this result to guide the production process will make it difficult to control the esterification rate, and ultimately lead to uneven product quality. Content of the Utility Model

[0028] The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model in more detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the present utility model will be clearer. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, only for the convenience of clearly assisting in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0029] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of an online esterification rate analysis system according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides an online esterification rate analysis system, including a melt pipeline, a transparent pipeline 1, a processor 3 and a spectral analyzer 2.

[0030] Both ends of the transparent pipeline 1 are respectively used to communicate with the reaction kettle through the melt pipeline 4. Both ends of the transparent pipeline 1 are communicated with the melt pipeline 4, and the inner diameter of the transparent pipeline 1 is the same as that of the melt pipeline 4. For example, the two reaction kettles 6 are communicated through the melt pipeline 4. A valve 7 for controlling the opening and closing of the pipeline is provided on the melt pipeline 4. A section of the melt pipeline 4 can be replaced with the transparent pipeline 1. Both ends of the transparent pipeline 1 are respectively connected to the melt pipeline 4 through flanges 5. The transparent pipeline 1 can be a glass pipeline, for example. When the transparent pipeline 1 is a glass pipeline, the pipe wall of the glass pipeline needs to have a certain thickness to withstand the passage of the melt. Therefore, the outer diameter of the glass pipeline is usually larger than that of the melt pipeline 4. Further, the length of the transparent pipeline 1 can be 180 mm - 220 mm. For example, the length of the transparent pipeline 1 is 200 mm. In other embodiments, the transparent pipeline 1 can also be integrally formed with the melt pipeline 4, or the entire melt pipeline 4 is the transparent pipeline 1. It can be understood that the transparent pipeline 1 is located in the optical path of the spectral analyzer 2 so that the light emitted by the spectral analyzer 2 can pass through the melt.

[0031] The spectral analyzer 2 is electrically connected to the processor 3. The spectral analyzer 2 is used to detect the components of the melt in the transparent pipeline 1 and transmit the detection results to the processor 3. The processor 3 is used to analyze and calculate the esterification rate of the melt according to the detection results.

[0032] It is understandable that a spectral analyzer is an instrument used to analyze the wavelength and intensity of light, and its working principle is based on the phenomenon of light dispersion. Exemplarily, the spectral analyzer can be an absorption spectrometer, which determines the composition and concentration of a substance by measuring the absorption degree of the substance to light of a specific wavelength. Further, the absorption spectrometer includes a light source assembly and a detection assembly. The light source assembly is used to irradiate light onto the transparent pipe 1, and the detection assembly is used to receive the light transmitted through the transparent pipe 1 and obtain a detection result. The detection assembly is electrically connected to the processor 3. For example, the detection assembly is connected to the processor 3 through a wire. The light source assembly includes a light source and a grating. The detection assembly can include a photodiode or a photomultiplier tube for detecting the received light. The working process of the spectral analyzer 2 is generally as follows: The light source emits a light beam, the light beam is dispersed into light of different wavelengths by the grating, the dispersed light interacts with the melt in the transparent pipe 1, the elements in the melt will emit different rays, these rays are received by the detection assembly, and the detection assembly analyzes the components of the melt to obtain a detection result.

[0033] Further, the processor 3 analyzes the detection result to obtain the actual ester content, and the processor 3 calculates the esterification rate according to the theoretical ester content and the actual ester content. For example, the processor 3 analyzes the content of each component of the melt according to the detection result, divides the actual ester content by the theoretical ester content and multiplies by 100% to obtain the esterification rate, and the theoretical ester content can be calculated by the molar ratio of the reactants.

[0034] Preferably, the on-line esterification rate analysis system includes a display, the display is connected to the processor 3, and the display is used to display data such as the esterification rate analyzed and calculated by the processor 3 to facilitate real-time monitoring by the staff.

[0035] In summary, the present utility model provides an on-line esterification rate analysis system, which includes: a melt pipe; a transparent pipe 1, both ends of the transparent pipe 1 are respectively used to communicate with the melt pipe 4, and the inner diameter of the transparent pipe 1 is the same as that of the melt pipe 4; a processor 3; a spectral analyzer 2, the spectral analyzer 2 is electrically connected to the processor 3, the spectral analyzer 2 is used to detect the components of the melt in the transparent pipe 1 and transmit the detection result to the processor 3, and the processor 3 is used to analyze and calculate the esterification rate of the melt according to the detection result.

[0036] With the above configuration, the transparent pipe 1 is connected to the melt pipe 4 to receive the melt from the melt pipe 4. By providing the transparent pipe 1, the spectral analyzer 2 can directly detect the melt in the transparent pipe 1 through the transparent pipe 1, avoiding frequent sampling and analysis of the melt, greatly reducing the workload of the staff, saving labor costs. Moreover, by using the spectral analyzer 2 in combination with the processor 3 to analyze the melt, the esterification rate can be calculated in real time, avoiding the lag and error caused by the traditional sampling measurement method. In addition, the present utility model does not require an additional bypass branch to be connected to the main melt pipe, nor does it affect the flow state of the melt in the main melt pipe, eliminating the influence of the relatively high gas content in the melt in the bypass branch on the measurement data and ensuring the accuracy of the esterification rate measurement.
