Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biodiesel preparation, in particular to a fixing device for a catalyst for biodiesel preparation. Background Technique

[0002] The preparation of biodiesel is to mix glycerol, fatty acids and alcohols (such as methanol or ethanol) in a certain proportion in an esterification reactor, react for a sufficient time at a certain temperature and catalyst dosage, and then separate and purify the obtained product to remove unreacted raw materials, catalyst residues and other impurities, so as to obtain a pure biodiesel product. The catalyst used in this process needs to be placed through a fixed bed or a fluidized bed. When the reaction materials pass through the fixed bed or the fluidized bed, they are in full contact with the catalyst to achieve reaction conversion.

[0003] Most of the feed inlet channels of the traditional fluidized bed are single channels, and reactants are injected successively through the same channel. On the one hand, this way may cause uneven mixing of different materials in the pipeline, affecting the uniformity of the reaction. On the other hand, it is not convenient to finely adjust the reaction conditions. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] The following Figures 1 - 3 describes a biodiesel preparation catalyst fixing device of the present utility model.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, a catalyst fixing device for biodiesel preparation includes a carrier 100 and a top seal 200.

[0030] The carrier 100 has a receiving cavity 101 and an outlet channel 103 for containing the catalyst. Specifically, the volume of the catalyst stored inside the receiving cavity 101 is less than the volume of the receiving cavity 101, and the corners of the receiving cavity 101 are rounded to reduce the accumulation of the catalyst at the corners.

[0031] The top seal 200 has multiple groups of inlet channels 201, which are installed on the carrier 100 and used to close the receiving cavity 101.

[0032] Specifically, the substances required for biodiesel production can be separately injected through the multiple groups of inlet channels 201, which is beneficial for more precise adjustment of the reaction conditions.

[0033] Among them, the inlet channels 201 are evenly distributed on the top seal 200, and the outlet channel 103 is arranged in a staggered manner with the inlet channels 201.

[0034] Specifically, during the transesterification reaction in biodiesel production, the waste edible oil, glycerol, and the required solvent after filtration, purification, and dehydration treatment are separately injected into the receiving cavity 101 through each inlet channel 201. During the injection process, by separately controlling the flow rate and proportion of each inlet channel 201, the reaction conditions can be effectively adjusted. The reactants injected into the receiving cavity 103 start to flow towards the outlet channel 103. During this process, the reactants flow in the receiving cavity 103 and contact the basic catalyst particles stored inside for reaction, and the generated reaction products move along the flow direction and finally flow out from the outlet channel 103.

[0035] In the catalyst fixing device for biodiesel preparation in this embodiment, by setting the inlet of the receiving cavity 101 as several groups of evenly distributed inlet channels 201, on the one hand, by separately injecting each group of reactants through different inlet channels 201, the reaction materials are more evenly distributed in the receiving cavity 101. On the other hand, parameters such as the flow rate and concentration of the reaction materials in each group of inlet channels 201 can be separately controlled to achieve precise adjustment of the reaction conditions. Moreover, the inlet channels 201 and the outlet channel 103 are arranged in a staggered manner, which can promote the convection and diffusion of the reactants inside the receiving cavity 101 and improve the reaction efficiency.

[0036] As Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, the total cross-sectional area of the inlet channels 201 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel 103.

[0037] Specifically, by increasing the inlet channel 201, it helps with rapid feeding, and the inlet channel 201 being larger than the outlet channel 103 causes the residence time of the reaction materials in the loading cavity 101 to be correspondingly extended, thereby increasing the contact time and reaction opportunities of the reaction, which helps to improve the conversion rate of the reaction.

[0038] The top seal 200 includes a top seal plate 210, the top seal plate 210 is installed on the carrier 100, and multiple groups of inlet pipes 212 are installed through the top seal plate 200.

[0039] For the convenience of production and disassembly and cleaning, the inlet pipe 212 includes a bottom pipe 211 and a top pipe 213. The bottom pipe 211 is fixedly installed on the top seal plate 210, and the top pipe 213 is detachably connected to the top end of the bottom pipe 211.

[0040] The top seal 200 further includes a top isolation cover 220, and the top isolation cover 220 is buckled on the inner end of the inlet pipe 212.

[0041] Specifically, the top isolation cover 220 has a tiny aperture, which can prevent catalyst particles from escaping from the loading cavity 101. A first locking nut is fixedly installed on the surface of the top isolation cover 220 facing away from the top seal plate 210. First locking bolts are installed through both the top seal plate 210 and the top isolation cover 220. A metal gasket and a rubber washer are sequentially sleeved on the first locking bolt from top to bottom, and the rubber washer is used to seal the connection between the first locking bolt and the top seal plate 210.

[0042] The carrier 100 includes a carrier container 110, and the top seal plate 210 is installed at the open end of the carrier container 110.

[0043] The top edge of the carrier container 110 extends horizontally to form a connecting plate 112, and the top seal plate 210 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 112 through bolts.

[0044] Preferably, in order to enhance the sealing effect of the connection between the top seal plate 210 and the carrier container 110, a sealing ring matching the shape of the connecting plate 112 is installed between them.

[0045] An outlet pipe 114 is installed through the bottom of the carrier container 110.

[0046] The carrier 100 further includes a bottom isolation cover 120, and the bottom isolation cover 120 is buckled on the inner end of the outlet pipe 114.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom isolation cover 120 has a tiny aperture, which can prevent catalyst particles from detaching from the loading cavity 101. A second locking nut is fixedly installed on the surface of the bottom isolation cover 120 facing away from the loading container 110. Second locking bolts are installed through the loading container 110 and the bottom isolation cover 120. A metal gasket and a rubber washer are sequentially sleeved on the second locking bolts from bottom to top, and the rubber washer is used to seal the connection between the second locking bolt and the loading container.

[0048] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0049] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the appended claims.
