Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chemical or pharmaceutical equipment, in particular to an anti-blocking reflux water separation reaction device. Background Art

[0002] In the production of chemical or pharmaceutical industries, high-temperature reflux dehydration reaction is a common chemical reaction. Specifically, it refers to the generation of water molecules during certain chemical reactions (such as dehydration ring-closing reactions). As the reaction continues to proceed in the right direction, a large amount of water is generated in the system. If the water in the system is not separated in time, the reaction will easily reach equilibrium, thereby affecting the efficiency of raw material conversion. In order to promote raw material conversion, high-temperature reflux water separation is usually used to separate the water in the system. Under high-temperature reaction conditions, volatile salts that are easily dissociated or sublimated will precipitate again when encountering a low-temperature condenser. Due to reflux water separation, the precipitated salts will not have enough water in the system to thoroughly clean the condenser, resulting in a large amount of salt accumulating in the condenser, blocking the condensation pipe, causing the reaction to be interrupted and the pressure in the kettle to rise, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to more clearly understand the purpose, advantages and features of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention so as to fully understand the present invention. The present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, so the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, those skilled in the art can also obtain other improvements based on these drawings without making creative work. The embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, all concepts related to directionality or orientation such as up, down, left, right, inside, center, and outside are based on the positions shown in the accompanying drawings, and therefore cannot be understood as a special limitation on the technical solution provided by the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the anti-clogging reflux water separation reaction apparatus includes a first pipeline 101, a second pipeline 201, a third pipeline 301, a fourth pipeline 402, a fifth pipeline 401, a sixth pipeline 601, a seventh pipeline 302, an eighth pipeline 501, a reactor 1, a condenser 2, a gas-liquid separator 3, a water separator 4, a receiving tank 5, an upper sensor 44, a lower sensor 45, a two-phase interface observation mirror 46, a water inlet valve 21, a drain valve 42, a one-way check valve 41, a regulating valve 51, and a control device 61. When the high-temperature reflux reaction in reactor 1 begins, the organic solvent and water in the reactor azeotrope at high temperature. The mixed vapor flows through the first pipeline 101 at the top of the reactor into the condenser 2 above the reactor, where it is cooled and liquefied. It then enters the gas-liquid separator 3 for gas-liquid separation. Unliquefied gas is discharged through the seventh pipeline 302, and the cooled liquid flows through the third pipeline 301 into the water separator 4 for separation.

[0022] When the mixed liquid accumulates at the top of the water separator, the upper light organic phase flows back to reactor 1 along fourth pipeline 402 through one-way check valve 41, achieving solvent recycling. When the aqueous phase level in water separator 4 exceeds upper sensor 44, the program automatically closes inlet valve 21 and opens drain valve 42 to perform water diversion, with the separated aqueous phase entering receiving tank 5. When the aqueous phase level in water separator 4 falls below lower sensor 45, the program automatically closes drain valve 42 and opens inlet valve 21, allowing the high-temperature steam discharged from first pipeline 101 to cool and liquefy while simultaneously performing a condenser flushing operation. This ensures that volatile salts in the condenser are promptly flushed down and dissolved in the liquefied water, successfully avoiding pipeline and equipment blockage and achieving a smooth dynamic balance in reflux diversion, achieving efficient and rapid reflux diversion.

[0023] The gas outlet end of the gas-liquid separator 3 in the device is connected to the top of the receiving tank 5 through the eighth pipeline 501, which can balance the gas pressure of the entire system and further reduce safety risks.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-clogging reflux water separation reaction apparatus of Example 2 is similar to that of Example 1, except that Example 2 further includes an adjustable pressure reducing device 31, which is connected to the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator 3 via the seventh pipeline 302. When the boiling point of the organic solvent in the reactor is too high, activating the adjustable pressure reducing device 31 can reduce the vapor pressure of the mixed gas in the system, thereby lowering the azeotropic point of the mixed vapor and reducing the high-temperature reflux water separation heating energy consumption by more than 20%, fully meeting the requirements of lean production.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent modifications, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
