Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of high-carbon mercaptan synthesis technology, in particular to a novel high-carbon mercaptan synthesis reaction tower. Background Art
[0002] Higher-carbon mercaptans are a class of organic compounds with significant applications, and their technical background spans multiple fields. In the chemical industry, with the continuous exploration and development of organic synthesis technologies, the synthesis methods for higher-carbon mercaptans have gradually expanded and improved. Early synthetic methods often suffered from low yields, harsh reaction conditions, and poor selectivity. With the in-depth study of chemical theory and advancements in experimental techniques, new synthetic routes have been continuously developed. For example, the synthesis efficiency and purity of higher-carbon mercaptans have been improved through specific catalytic reactions, the use of efficient reagents, and optimized reaction conditions. In the field of materials science, higher-carbon mercaptans, due to their unique chemical properties, play an important role in the modification of polymer materials. For example, in the rubber industry, higher-carbon mercaptans are used to improve the vulcanization properties of rubber and enhance the strength, wear resistance, and aging resistance of rubber products. In the petrochemical industry, higher-carbon mercaptans are also important additives, used to improve the properties of oil products, such as their antioxidant and corrosion resistance.
[0003] During the actual synthesis process, various reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, reactant ratio, solvent selection, and reaction duration, must be strictly controlled to effectively improve yield and ensure purity. Furthermore, post-reaction separation and purification are also crucial. Generally, distillation, extraction, and crystallization are used to obtain pure high-carbon mercaptan products.
[0004] Higher-carbon mercaptans are synthetic products produced by reacting olefin feedstocks with hydrogen sulfide gas over a catalyst. Because olefin feedstocks contain a variety of carbon compositions, and the same carbon composition can be composed of multiple isomers, experimental results show that under identical process conditions such as temperature, pressure, and catalyst, the catalytic reaction efficiency of carbon-carbon double bonds, carbon-carbon single bonds, and carbon-hydrogen bonds in the olefin feedstock with hydrogen sulfide varies, leading to impurities in the synthetic product and affecting its quality. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Reference Figure 1The present invention provides an embodiment of a novel high-carbon mercaptan synthesis reaction tower, comprising a fixed-bed reactor, which is used to improve the conversion rate of the supplied raw material components. The fixed-bed reactor comprises a sprayer 1, a first-stage catalyst 2, a first liquid distributor 3, a second-stage catalyst 4, and a first-stage gas-liquid separator 6 connected in series. The first-stage gas-liquid separator 6 is connected to a first-stage liquid level gauge 7. The first-stage catalyst 2 and the second-stage catalyst 4 are respectively connected to a thermocouple 5. Workers add olefin polymerization products and hydrogen sulfide into the reactor through the feed port and air inlet on the fixed-bed reactor. Gas, when the olefin polymerization product is sprayed in the fixed bed reactor through the spray port on the sprayer 1, the hydrogen sulfide gas transported through the air inlet is catalytically synthesized in the first-stage catalyst 2 to produce high-carbon olefin raw materials. The unreacted raw materials after the primary reaction are evenly dispersed through the fine water holes evenly opened on the No. 1 liquid distributor 3. The water holes are used to evenly distribute the olefin raw materials on the second-stage catalyst 4, thereby increasing the contact area between the raw materials and the catalyst, improving the reaction efficiency, and conducting a secondary reaction. Subsequently, the high-carbon olefin raw materials after the reaction are gathered in the liquid storage tank at the bottom of the fixed bed reactor.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , reaction tower, the reaction tower is used for the synthesis reaction of high-carbon mercaptans, the reaction tower includes a feed buffer 8, a second liquid distributor 9, a packed tower 10, a secondary gas-liquid separator 11 and a secondary liquid level meter 12 connected in series in sequence, the discharge port of the secondary gas-liquid separator 11 is connected to the input end of the product circulation pump 13, the output end of the circulation pump 13 is connected to the feed buffer 8 through a reflux pipe, the feed buffer 8 and the liquid storage tank are connected by a pump liquid pipe, and the high-carbon olefin raw material is pumped into the tower synthesis reactor by a pump machine. In order to prevent impact during raw material pumping, the feed buffer 8 is used to slow down the impact of raw material feeding. Subsequently, the No. 2 liquid distributor 9 is used to evenly distribute the high-carbon olefin raw material in the packed tower 10, and the solid acid catalyst in the packed tower 10 converts the high-carbon olefin raw material into a high-carbon mercaptan product, and the hydrogen sulfide gas in the product is separated by the secondary gas-liquid separator 11, and is pumped to the fixed bed reactor for secondary utilization by a circulating compressor.
[0024] Reference Figure 1The top of the outer side of the fixed bed reactor is fixedly connected with a liquid inlet pipe, and the middle and lower part of the outer side of the fixed bed reactor is fixedly connected with an air inlet pipe. The fixed bed reactor is a hot wall fixed bed reactor, and the reaction temperature is ≤65°C, which helps to ensure that a specific reaction is carried out at a relatively low temperature, thereby achieving a stable reaction process and product generation. The reaction tower is a tower synthesis reactor, and the second-stage reaction temperature is ≤115°C. Such a temperature setting can meet the needs of reactions at different stages, promote the progress of the reaction and ensure the quality of the product. By finely controlling the temperature, moderately changing the pressure or optimizing the amount of catalyst used and other process conditions, the components with originally low conversion rates can be effectively improved to achieve a more ideal and balanced conversion effect. A hydrogen sulfide output pipe is provided on one side of the secondary gas-liquid separator 11. Workers add olefin polymerization products and hydrogen sulfide gas raw materials into the fixed bed reactor through the liquid inlet pipe and the gas inlet pipe on the fixed bed reactor. A synthetic product output pipe is provided on the reflux pipe 14. The olefin polymerization products are a series of isomers. The synthetic products enter the reaction tower through the top of the tower and realize gas-liquid separation at the bottom of the tower. The gas component is hydrogen sulfide. The gas component goes to the circulation compressor. The liquid component at the bottom of the tower is refluxed to the top of the tower through the reaction circulation pump, and part of it is output to the reaction system. The packed tower 10 is filled with a catalyst containing solid acid.
[0025] Working principle: Workers add olefin polymerization products and hydrogen sulfide gas into the reactor through the liquid inlet pipe and air inlet on the hot wall fixed bed reactor. When the olefin polymerization products are sprayed in the fixed bed reactor through the spray port on the sprayer 1, the hydrogen sulfide gas transported through the air inlet is catalytically synthesized in the first-stage catalyst 2 to produce high-carbon olefin raw materials. The unreacted raw materials after the first-stage reaction are evenly distributed through the fine water holes evenly opened on the No. 1 liquid distributor 3. The water holes are used to evenly distribute the olefin raw materials on the second-stage catalyst 4, thereby increasing the contact area between the raw materials and the catalyst, improving the reaction efficiency, and carrying out the secondary reaction. After the reaction, the high-carbon olefin raw materials are gathered in the liquid storage tank at the bottom of the fixed-bed reactor. Then, the high-carbon olefin raw materials are pumped into the tower synthesis reactor by a pump. In order to prevent impact during raw material pumping, the feed buffer 8 is used to slow down the impact of raw material feeding. Subsequently, the high-carbon olefin raw materials are evenly distributed in the packed tower 10 by using the No. 2 liquid distributor 9. The solid acid catalyst in the packed tower 10 converts the high-carbon olefin raw materials into high-carbon mercaptan products, which are transported to the synthesis reactor, and the hydrogen sulfide gas in the product is separated by the secondary gas-liquid separator 11. It is pumped to the hot-wall fixed-bed reactor for secondary utilization by using a circulating compressor.
