Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of depolymerization reactor technology, specifically a depolymerization reaction device for co-producing tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran. Background Technology

[0002] Tetrahydrofuran co-ether glycol (PTXG) is a co-ether glycol polymerized from tetrahydrofuran (THF) and at least one epoxy compound in the presence of an acid catalyst and a compound containing active hydrogen atoms. It is an important chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of polyurethane elastomers, spandex, and ester ether co-polymer elastomers. PTXG possesses excellent hydrolytic stability, air permeability, abrasion resistance, and low-temperature mechanical properties, and has broad application prospects in textiles, pipes, chemicals, synthetic leather, medical devices, automobiles, shipbuilding, construction, and military industries.

[0003] A depolymerization reactor, authorized by publication number CN221868452U, includes a pressure vessel and a stirrer disposed within the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel comprises a first cylinder and a second cylinder connected vertically and sealed in the height direction, with the stirrer located within the first cylinder. The first cylinder has a feed inlet and a gas outlet, while the second cylinder has a steam inlet and a discharge outlet. The inner cavities of the second and first cylinders form a reaction chamber for steam to rise and mix with the material, thus achieving convective heat exchange. This depolymerization reactor, with a steam inlet located on the pressure vessel, allows steam to mix with the material for convective heat exchange, avoiding the blockage and corrosion problems of heat transfer tubes associated with indirect heat exchange. Simultaneously, it reduces the temperature of the first cylinder of the pressure vessel, eliminating the need for a mechanical seal cooling system, reducing costs, and simplifying the structure.

[0004] As shown in the above equipment, the existing depolymerization reaction device for co-producing tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran can reduce the temperature of the first cylinder of the pressure vessel, thus eliminating the need for a mechanical seal cooling system, reducing costs, and simplifying the structure. However, during material stirring, the fixed stirring range and material contact area of ​​the existing stirring rod are limited, which may prevent the materials from being fully mixed in the reactor. This can lead to excessively high or low local concentrations of materials, affecting the depolymerization reaction, reducing reaction efficiency, and lowering product quality. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] See Figures 1-5 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions:

[0026] First embodiment: A depolymerization reaction apparatus for co-producing tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran, comprising a reaction vessel body 1, and further comprising:

[0027] The stretching and stirring mechanism 8 is located inside the reactor body 1 and is used to stretch and stir the depolymerization of the co-produced tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran inside the reactor body 1, so that the reaction is more complete and the reaction rate is accelerated.

[0028] The filter assembly 6 is located above the reactor body 1 and is used to filter the gas discharged from the reactor body 1 through the gas phase pipe 5.

[0029] A conveying pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the reactor body 1. A gas phase pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the reactor body 1 for exhaust gas discharge. The reactor body 1 is connected to the filter assembly 6 through the gas phase pipe 5. A discharge pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reactor body 1. An inclined groove plate 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the reactor body 1.

[0030] A pressure gauge 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the reactor body 1 for detecting the internal pressure of the reactor body 1. An observation sight glass 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the reactor body 1 for observing the interior of the reactor body 1.

[0031] A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reactor body 1. A base plate 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 2. A distillation column body 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base plate 12. The base plate 11 is used to separate and purify the substances after the depolymerization reaction inside the reactor body 1. The reactor body 1 is connected to the distillation column body 11 through the discharge pipe 10.

[0032] The stretching and stirring mechanism 8 includes an output rod 81, which is located inside the reactor body 1. One end of the output rod 81 is connected to a motor 85 for power supply, and one end of the output rod 81 is connected to a rotating shaft 82. One end of the rotating shaft 82 is connected to a transmission rod 83. The outer wall of the transmission rod 83 is provided with a stretching component 84 for stretching and adjusting the position of the stirring structure.

[0033] The tensioning assembly 84 includes a connecting ring 841 connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 83. A hydraulic rod B842 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 841. One end of the hydraulic rod B842 is connected to a hinge ring 843. A crank rocker arm 844 is hinged to the outer wall of the hinge ring 843. A hinge rod 847 is hinged to one end of the crank rocker arm 844. A hinge plate 846 is hinged to one end of the hinge rod 847. A stirring plate 848 is connected to the other end of the hinge rod 847. An installation ring 845 is fixedly connected to one end of the hinge plate 846. The installation ring 845 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 83.

[0034] The depolymerization reaction apparatus for co-producing tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran is equipped with a stretching and stirring mechanism 8, which can fully mix the reactants, increase the contact area between the reactants, improve mass transfer efficiency, make the reaction more complete, accelerate the reaction rate, shorten the reaction time, and improve production efficiency. At the same time, in the depolymerization reaction, the stretching and stirring can make the polymer molecular chains better contact with the catalyst or other reactants, promote the depolymerization reaction, and improve the conversion rate and selectivity of the reaction.

[0035] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the filter assembly 6 includes a mounting shell 61, which is positioned above the reactor body 1. One end of the mounting shell 61 has an air inlet 62, and the other end has an air outlet 63. A filter screen 64 is fixedly connected inside the mounting shell 61. An adsorption layer 65 is provided on one side of the filter screen 64, and a filter cotton plug 66 is provided inside the mounting shell 61.

[0036] The depolymerization reaction unit for co-producing tetrahydrofuran copolyether diol and polytetrahydrofuran is equipped with a filter assembly 6. If the gaseous effluent containing impurities is directly discharged into the environment, it may cause pollution to the air, soil, and water. By removing impurities through the filter assembly 6, the emitted gas is cleaner, reducing environmental pollution and meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0037] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.

[0038] When the equipment is in use, the required materials are fed into the reactor body 1 through the feed pipe 3. When stirring is required, the hydraulic rod B842 extends and retracts, causing the hinge ring 843 to slide on the outer wall of the transmission rod 83, which in turn drives the crank rocker 844 to rotate. The rotation of the crank rocker 844 drives the hinge rod 847 to move, which in turn drives the stirring plate 848 to move. As the crank rocker 844 moves continuously, it drives the hinge rod 847 and the stirring plate 848 to rotate and stretch continuously. When the stretching reaches a certain extent, the motor 85 is started. The operation of the motor 85 drives the output rod 81 to operate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 82 and the transmission rod 83 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 83 drives the entire stretching assembly 84 to rotate, thereby driving the stretching assembly 84 to rotate. The stirring plate 848 in the extension assembly 84 rotates inside the reactor body 1 to stir the materials inside. When the stirring inside the reactor body 1 causes the materials inside to react and generate waste gas, the waste gas enters the interior of the mounting shell 61 through the gas phase pipe 5 and the inlet 62. Then, it undergoes a first filtration through the filter screen 64 set on the inner wall of the mounting shell 61, followed by a second filtration through the three adsorption layers 65 with activated carbon, a third filtration through the filter cotton plug 66, and finally a fourth filtration through the filter screen 64. The harmful impurities carried in the waste gas are filtered out. The filtered air can finally be discharged through the outlet 63. The reacted substances can enter the distillation column body 11 through the discharge pipe 10 for separation and purification, and finally be output through the feed pipe at one end of the distillation column body 11.
