Description

Technical Field

[0002] Catalysis technology has important applications in many industrial fields. The level of catalysis technology is one of the most important indicators for measuring the technological level of many modern industrial fields. According to statistics, more than 90% of existing chemical processes are carried out with the help of catalysis technology.

[0003] Currently, fixed beds are commonly used evaluation devices for gas-liquid reaction catalytic systems. The reactant gas enters the reaction system through an inlet pipe. Due to the restrictive nature of the gas channel, the contact surface between the reaction system and the gas is unevenly distributed, thus affecting the completeness of the reaction. Because different catalysts have different particle sizes, existing fixed beds are equipped with baffles of various sizes. Selecting different baffles based on the catalyst particle size results in the storage, replacement, and cleaning of a large number of baffles of various sizes, which takes considerable time.

[0007] Preferably, the center of the upper partition and the center of the lower partition are provided with through holes for the stirring paddle to pass through, and the two through holes are coaxially arranged.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring paddle includes a lower blade and an upper rotating rod, the rotating rod is fitted with a sealing sleeve, and the side of the sealing sleeve is connected to the air intake pipe.

[0009] Preferably, both the rotating rod and the blade are hollow structures, and the rotating rod has multiple air inlets on its side at the part connected to the sealing sleeve.

[0023] The air inlet valve 8 and flow meter 9 are sequentially installed on the air inlet pipe 7, before entering the reactor body 6.
