Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of silicon slurry continuous heating evaporative equipment, belong to organic silicon production technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Organic silicon material is macromolecular material with organic and inorganic structure simultaneously, and it is excellent in temperature resistance, weather resistance, electrical performance, physiological inertia and surface performance. Organic silicon material system takes metal silicon and methanol as starting point, first synthesizes chloromethane from methanol and hydrochloric acid, synthesizes organosilicon chlorosilane monomer from chloromethane and metal silicon, then hydrolyzes monomer to obtain siloxane base raw material represented by D4, and base polymer such as 110 raw rubber or 107 glue, and then various terminal downstream products are prepared. Organic silicon downstream industry mainly includes silicone rubber, silicone oil, silicone resin and functional silane, which are collectively referred to as four major categories of organic silicon materials.

[0003] Organic silicon monomer reaction is the reaction of silicon powder and chloromethane under the action of catalyst (such as copper powder, etc.) in a fluidized bed reactor at 280-300℃ and 0.2MPa. The methyl chlorosilane generated by the reaction is a mixture, mainly including monomethyltrichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, trimethylmonochlorosilane, etc., and also produces some by-products, such as high-boiling substances, silicon tetrachloride, and monomer containing hydrogen. The synthesis gas coming out of the fluidized bed contains organic silicon monomer, unreacted chloromethane and unreacted silicon powder, which is separated from most of the silicon powder by a cyclone separator, and a small amount of fine silicon powder is taken to a washing tower for dust removal by monomer spraying wet method. The solid-liquid mixture discharged from the bottom of the washing tower is generally referred to as silicon slurry in the industry. Silicon slurry mainly contains some high-boiling organic silicon compounds, such as disilane, disiloxane and silane, etc. The chemical structure of these components is relatively complex and has certain reactivity, which can be recycled. Silicon slurry contains suspended silicon powder and various metal impurities such as copper and tin introduced during production. The presence of these metal impurities not only increases the difficulty of waste slurry treatment, but also may cause potential pollution risk to the environment. If it is randomly piled up or improperly treated, the organic components in the organic silicon waste slurry may volatilize into the air, causing air pollution; harmful substances such as heavy metals in it may seep into the soil and groundwater, causing long-term pollution to the soil and water sources, affecting the ecological environment and human health. For example, contaminated soil may inhibit the growth of vegetation and reduce the yield and quality of crops; contaminated water sources may not meet the demand for production and living water. Waste slurry exposed to air is easy to burn, which poses a fire hazard. During storage and transportation, if leakage, spilling or other situations occur, safety accidents may be caused. Therefore, it is necessary to recover the effective components in the silicon slurry to reduce its treatment amount.

[0004] The process of reducing the amount of silicon slurry mainly re-evaporates to recover monomer and high-boiling substances in the silicon slurry. The traditional evaporation equipment is a vertical evaporation kettle, the outer wall of which is welded with a jacket or a half pipe, and the inner part is connected with a heat conducting oil to provide heat for the material in the kettle. The built-in stirring prevents the silicon powder from depositing and facilitates the heat transfer of the outer wall. The heating equipment and the heating form utilize the principle of heat conduction to heat, and need a system of a heat oil pump, a heat oil tank, heat oil heating, a circulating pipeline and the like. The preheating of the heat conducting oil needs time, and the temperature is transmitted to the kettle wall, and then the kettle wall is transmitted to the medium, so the heat transfer is slow, the heat loss and energy consumption are large, the temperature control is lagged, and the heat exchange area per unit volume is limited, which is not conducive to the expansion of the device scale. SUMMARY
