Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of neopentyl glycol production, and particularly relates to a device for adding raw materials for neopentyl glycol production. Background Art
[0002] The main raw materials for neopentyl glycol production include isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde, and the costs of isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde account for about 85% of the total cost of neopentyl glycol. These raw materials need to be processed and transformed through complex chemical reactions. Specifically, the production of neopentyl glycol mainly involves the condensation reaction of isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde under the action of a catalyst to produce hydroxypivalaldehyde (HPA), and then neopentyl glycol is obtained through a reduction reaction. The main raw materials of neopentyl glycol are isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde. After the reduction reaction, the crude product needs to be refined through steps such as heating and dehydration to improve the purity of neopentyl glycol.
[0003] The existing equipment used in the reaction process of isobutyraldehyde and formaldehyde adopts the method of introducing formaldehyde into a tank filled with isobutyraldehyde, and then stirring it with a stirrer to make it react. This equipment has the problem that the reaction between formaldehyde and isobutyraldehyde is not sufficient during the stirring process. Summary of the Utility Model

The atomizing machine is turned on, so that the isobutyraldehyde in the inner tank body enters the space between the inner tank body and the reaction tank body in an atomized state. Other raw materials are added through the addition port. During the reaction process, the liquid dripping into the bottom of the reaction tank body is atomized through the atomizing mechanism, so that the reaction proceeds continuously. After the reaction is completed, it is discharged through the discharge port. After continuous atomization, the reaction occurs in the reaction tank body, making the reaction sufficient.
[0009] Furthermore, a connection port communicating with the interior of the inner tank body is provided on the top cover.
[0010] Connecting to the inner tank body through the connection port facilitates the addition of isobutyraldehyde into the inner tank body.

[0012] The regulating valve is used to open and close the discharging port, facilitating the discharge of the liquid after the reaction.
[0013] Furthermore, a first base is provided below the reaction tank body. An evaporation chamber is provided inside the first base. One end of the second connecting pipe is connected to the discharging port, and the other end is connected to the evaporation chamber.
[0014] The liquid after the reaction enters the evaporation chamber through the second connecting pipe. Through evaporation, unreacted raw materials and impurities are removed.
[0015] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided on the first base at the bottom of the evaporation chamber. A sealing block capable of moving left and right is installed at the discharge port. When the sealing block moves to the discharge port, the discharge port can be sealed.
[0016] Furthermore, a first groove with an opening facing right is provided on the first base. A telescopic rod capable of stretching left and right is horizontally provided inside the first groove. The left end of the telescopic rod is connected to the sealing block, and the right end of the telescopic rod is connected to a motor.
[0017] The motor drives the telescopic rod to stretch left and right, driving the sealing block to move left and right, realizing the opening and closing of the discharge port.
[0018] Furthermore, a second base is provided at the bottom of the first base. A storage box is provided on the second base. A second groove with an opening facing right is provided at the right end of the storage box. A third connecting pipe is installed inside the second groove. One end of the third connecting pipe is connected to the storage box.
[0019] The liquid processed by the evaporation chamber enters the storage box, is cooled, and is connected to the next processing mechanism through the third connecting pipe.
[0020] Furthermore, a support frame is installed at the bottom of the reaction tank body.
[0021] The support frame raises the reaction tank body, facilitating the sequential downward connection and installation of the second connecting pipe, the first base, and the second base, without occupying extra space, and flowing downward, making it easier to discharge.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The inner tank is filled with isobutyraldehyde. The formaldehyde in the formaldehyde tank enters the space between the inner tank and the reaction tank through the first connecting pipe. The atomizer is turned on to make the isobutyraldehyde in the inner tank enter the space between the inner tank and the reaction tank in an atomized state. Other raw materials are added through the addition port. During the reaction process, the liquid dropped into the bottom of the reaction tank is atomized by the atomization mechanism to continuously carry out the reaction. After the reaction is completed, it is discharged through the discharge port. After continuous atomization, the reaction occurs in the reaction tank to make the reaction sufficient.
