Abstract

[0002] Formaldehyde, as an important organic compound, has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry, such as in the production of various chemical products such as resins, dyes, and pharmaceuticals, as well as its use as a preservative, disinfectant, and adhesive. The iron-molybdenum process is a highly efficient and selective formaldehyde production method. The core of the iron-molybdenum formaldehyde process reactor lies in the use of an iron-molybdenum catalyst to catalyze the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde under suitable conditions. This catalyst is typically composed of iron and molybdenum and may contain other additives to form a composite catalyst. During the reaction, methanol and air (or oxygen) undergo a series of oxidation and reduction reactions under the action of the catalyst, ultimately producing formaldehyde.
[0003] Methanol is a reaction raw material, and precise control of its addition amount is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and stability of the reaction. The existing method of methanol addition often uses equipment such as a burette or pump to manually adjust the flow of methanol. This method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in fluctuations in the amount of methanol added, which in turn affects the yield and purity of formaldehyde. Therefore, we need to propose a reactor for the iron-molybdenum formaldehyde process. Utility Model Content

[0021] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0022] A reactor for an iron-molybdenum formaldehyde process comprises a reaction cylinder 1, wherein the top of the reaction cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to four groups of pillars 2, the tops of the four groups of pillars 2 are fixedly connected to a liquid storage barrel 3, the bottom of the liquid storage barrel 3 is fixedly connected to a liquid outlet pipe 4, the top of the reaction cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet pipe 5, and one end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 and the liquid inlet pipe 5 is provided with a power assembly 6 for quantitatively adding methanol into the interior of the reaction cylinder 1. By arranging the reaction cylinder 1, the pillars 2, the liquid storage barrel 3, the liquid outlet pipe 4, the liquid inlet pipe 5 and the power assembly 6 for use in combination, the methanol in the liquid storage barrel 3 can be quantitatively added through the power assembly 6. A certain amount of methanol is extracted and then discharged into the interior of the reaction cylinder 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 5, thereby achieving the effect of quantitative and accurate addition of methanol, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency and purity of formaldehyde. The interior of the reaction cylinder 1 is provided with a stirring component 7 for fully mixing the quantitative methanol with the catalyst.

[0023] The power assembly 6 includes an addition tube 601, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the reaction cylinder 1. A piston 602 is slidably connected to the interior of the addition tube 601. A slide rod 603 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston 602.
