Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a gas storage system, especially propylene acid and propylene acid ester's stable storage system. BACKGROUND
[0002] If the storage mode is improper in the production and storage process of propylene acid and propylene acid ester monomer, the polymerization of propylene acid or propylene acid ester often occurs, which generally shows that the storage temperature rises due to the heat release of the storage tank caused by polymerization, further triggers polymerization, the viscosity of the material increases, and even safety accidents such as the temperature of the storage tank rising or the pressure accumulating and rising occur.
[0003] Large propylene acid or propylene acid ester storage tanks usually need to provide a storage environment with oxygen. The mechanism of oxygen as a polymerization inhibitor is mainly that it can capture free radicals. In the free radical polymerization reaction, free radicals are initiators and chain growth agents of the polymerization reaction. However, when oxygen exists, it will react with free radicals to generate products such as peroxide radicals or hydrogen peroxide, thereby consuming free radicals and preventing the polymerization reaction from proceeding.
[0004] However, too high oxygen concentration makes the solvent in the production process within a certain space in the explosion limit range, which brings great safety risks in the production process of propylene acid and propylene acid ester. Therefore, oxygen-poor gas with an oxygen content of 5-8% is needed for polymerization inhibition in the production of propylene acid and propylene acid ester monomers.
[0005] The domestic process for producing propylene acid and propylene acid ester monomers generally uses pressure swing adsorption technology PSA to prepare oxygen-poor gas. The principle is to separate gas mixtures by using the difference in the "adsorption" performance of molecular sieves for different gas molecules. It uses air as raw material and uses a high-efficiency and high-selectivity solid adsorbent to separate nitrogen and oxygen in air. The equipment cost is high, and the maintenance and operation energy consumption cost is also high. Moreover, the unstable oxygen-poor content often leads to the polymerization of process materials.
