DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0015] Example 1, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model mentions a catalyst fixed bed reaction device for isobutylene production, comprising a shell 1, a feed pipe 2, a liquid collector 3, an upper alumina filter element 4, a coolant inlet pipe 5, a coolant outlet pipe 6, a reactor body 8, a lower alumina filter element 9, and a feed port 10.

The upper alumina filter element 4 is installed on the upper side of the inner cavity of the reactor body 8, and the lower alumina filter element 9 is installed on the lower side. Solid catalyst is filled between the upper alumina filter element 4 and the lower alumina filter element 9. The upper alumina filter element 4 and the lower alumina filter element 9 are used to disperse the reaction materials and prevent catalyst leakage; the liquid collector 3 is installed at the lower end of the reactor body 8, the lower side of the shell 1 is provided with a coolant inlet pipe 5, and the upper side of the shell 1 is provided with a coolant outlet pipe 6.
[0016] The outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with a heat-insulating layer 7 for better heat-insulating effect.
[0017] A lower sealing cap 11 is installed between the lower side of the above-mentioned reactor body 8 and the lower end of the shell 1. In addition, the upper and lower alumina filter elements need to be wrapped with 3 to 4 turns of polytetrafluoroethylene sealing tape during installation, so that the alumina filter element fits tightly against the inner wall of the tube of the reactor body 8.
[0018] Reference Figure 2 The liquid collector 3 of the present invention includes a fixed pressure cap 3.1, a drainage pipe 3.2, a liquid storage tank 3.4, and a liquid collection tray 3.5. The fixed pressure cap 3.1 is installed at the lower end of the reactor body 8. The liquid storage tank 3.4 is installed at the lower part of the reactor body 8. The liquid collection tray 3.5 is provided above the liquid storage tank 3.4. The drainage pipe 3.2 is provided on the lower side of the liquid storage tank 3.4.
[0019] The inner cavity of the reactor body 8 is provided with a thermocouple thermometer jacket 3.3, and a thermocouple thermometer is installed in the thermocouple thermometer jacket 3.3 for measuring the reaction temperature.
[0020] When the present invention is used, a refrigerant is introduced into the refrigerant inlet pipe 5 of the shell 1, and a refrigerant outlet pipe 6 is provided on the upper side of the shell 1 for discharging the refrigerant, thereby ensuring the temperature inside the shell. The materials participating in the reaction enter the reactor body 8 from the feed pipe 2, and react under the action of the catalyst between the upper alumina filter element 4 and the lower alumina filter element 9. A thermocouple thermometer is installed in the thermocouple thermometer jacket 3.3 to measure the reaction temperature. The liquid generated by the reaction falls into the liquid collector 3 and then flows through the drain pipe 3.2 to be discharged. Since the lower alumina filter element 9 is provided above the liquid collector, the catalyst can be prevented from blocking the drain pipe, thereby avoiding the problem of the reaction material gathering inside and causing poor reaction effect.
[0021] Example 2. A catalyst fixed-bed reaction device for isobutylene production mentioned in the present invention includes a shell 1, a feed pipe 2, a liquid collector 3, an upper alumina filter element 4, a coolant inlet pipe 5, a coolant outlet pipe 6, a reactor body 8, a lower alumina filter element 9, and a feed port 10. The reactor body 8 is installed in the inner cavity of the shell 1, and the upper end of the shell 1 is provided with a feed port 10. An upper cover 12 is installed on the feed port 10, and a feed pipe 2 is installed on the upper part of the upper cover 12. An upper alumina filter element 4 is installed on the upper side of the inner cavity of the reactor body 8, and a lower alumina filter element 9 is installed on the lower side. Solid catalyst is filled between the upper alumina filter element 4 and the lower alumina filter element 9. The upper alumina filter element 4 and the lower alumina filter element 9 are used to disperse the reaction materials and prevent catalyst leakage; a liquid collector 3 is installed at the lower end of the reactor body 8, a coolant inlet pipe 5 is provided on the lower side of the shell 1, and a coolant outlet pipe 6 is provided on the upper side of the shell 1.
[0022] The difference from Example 1 is:
[0023] The liquid collection tray 3.5 mentioned in this embodiment has a bell-mouth structure and is provided with one or more liquid through holes 3.5.1 on the liquid collection tray 3.5. In this way, the liquid can flow downward along the bell-mouth structure and finally flow down through the liquid through holes 3.5.1. This does not affect the outflow of the liquid and also avoids the catalyst blocking the drain pipe, thereby avoiding the problem of post-reaction material accumulation inside and causing poor reaction effect.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may utilize the above-described technical solutions to modify the present invention or create equivalent technical solutions. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent transformations based on the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
