Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of caprolactam production, in particular to a multi-stage continuous hydrogenation device. Background Art

[0002] In the current caprolactam production process, hexyl water can be converted into saturated impurities by a hydrogenation catalyst, facilitating impurity removal in subsequent steps. However, continuous operation of this device leads to a decrease in the activity of the hydrogenation catalyst. To ensure the hydrogenation effect, the reaction pressure and temperature must be adjusted. However, increasing the pressure exacerbates catalyst agglomeration and compresses the catalyst surface area; increasing the reaction temperature causes caprolactam polymerization and exacerbates catalyst agglomeration.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] The difference from Example 1 is that Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a pre-hydrogenation hexyl water pipeline 8 is provided on one side of the mixer 1 close to the reactor cylinder, and the other end of the pre-hydrogenation hexyl water pipeline 8 is connected to the second-stage inlet fast-closing valve 52, the third-stage inlet fast-closing valve 62, the fourth-stage inlet fast-closing valve 72, and the first-stage inlet fast-closing valve 43 located on the left side through a first connecting pipeline, so as to facilitate the transportation of hexyl water and hydrogenation catalyst to the corresponding hydrogenation reaction chamber;

[0033] During use, multi-stage continuous hydrogenation is used to make the hydrogenation reaction more thorough. When the reaction activity of a certain section of the hydrogenation reaction chamber in the reactor cylinder decreases, the section can be cut out separately to replace the catalyst to ensure continuous production of the device. Segmented hydrogenation can easily make the quality of the catalyst in each section lower than the quality of the current single kettle. When compaction occurs, it is easier to replace the catalyst. When the reaction activity of a single kettle decreases, some catalyst in the reactor has not reacted completely. At this time, it is extremely wasteful to replace the catalyst. Segmented hydrogenation can make the catalyst reaction more thorough and reduce catalyst consumption.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
