Formaldehyde can be directly used as disinfectant, bactericide, preservative, mainly used in organic synthesis, paint, rubber, pesticide industry, its derivative product mainly has polyoxymethylene, polyformaldehyde, phenolic resin, urea formaldehyde resin, amino resin, urotropin product and polyhydric alcohol etc.
[0003] Formaldehyde production process mainly has silver method and iron molybdenum method, and the market generally selects the silver method with lower cost, but due to the silver method formaldehyde production process, the reaction bed layer temperature is as high as 650 DEG C. The substantial increase of byproduct caused by ultra-high temperature generates a large amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and a large amount of methanol raw material is wasted. At the same time, under high temperature working condition, the equipment requirement is further improved, and the equipment service life is greatly reduced. In the original process, the high-temperature gas of the catalyst is rapidly cooled by cold water, which causes serious thermal shock to the equipment. After about half a year of operation of the cooling section of the reactor, small cracks are generated irregularly, causing the cooling water to enter the process material through the cracks. The equipment needs to be stopped for repair irregularly, which causes delay in production, increases maintenance cost, and threatens production safety. SUMMARY

[0008] Further, the multi-layer copper mesh adopts a 10-100 mesh copper mesh, and the catalytic silver particle size is replaced by a multi-grain section, and a 2-3mm single grain section is selected.
[0009] Further, the baffle and the dust removal baffle are both copper plates.
[0010] Further, the inlet of the cyclone separator is a tangent line at the upper middle part, so that a spiral cyclone is generated, and the escaped catalytic silver in the gas is effectively precipitated, and the outlet of the cyclone separator is vertically downward.
[0011] Further, the steam drum is provided with a pipeline five communicated therewith, the upper end of the cooling section is provided with a pipeline six communicated therewith, and the pipeline one is provided with a feeding pipe communicated therewith.
[0012] Further, after the four-component gas passes through the silver bed, the pressure is reduced to 5-15kpa, so that the gas can smoothly pass through the oxidizer without backflow and causing reheating accidents.
[0013] Further, the temperature of the methanol steam in the raw gas is 48-55℃, so that the fluidized bed reaction temperature is controlled to be 450-500℃.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0022] The present application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings of the present application.
[0023] In conjunction with the drawings Figure 1 A fluidized bed reactor for formaldehyde production, comprising a fluidized bed reaction section A, a cyclone separator B, a cooling section C, and a steam drum D.
[0024] The lower part of the oxidizer is connected with the gas inlet four-element gas inlet pipeline, the top of the fluidized bed reactor A is connected with the top inlet of the cyclone separator B, and the gas inlet is connected with the tangent line at the top of the cyclone separator B.
[0025] The top gas outlet pipe of the cyclone separator B is connected with the bottom of the cooling section C, and the desalted water cooling section tube outlet is collected into a total pipe and sent to the downstream absorption unit.
[0026] The bottom of the steam drum D, the outlet pipe below the liquid level is communicated with the bottom of the desalted water cooling section, and the outlet pipe of the gas-liquid mixture at the top of the desalted water cooling section is communicated with the space part above the liquid level of the steam drum D.
[0027] The high-temperature gas 400-500℃ after the silver bed IV of the fluidized bed reaction section A passes through the baffle V and the cyclone separator B, and then is cooled to 200-250℃ in the cooling section C, while obtaining the steam of 140-150℃ and 0.3-0.5mpa. The process gas after the final cooling flows to the absorption section of the downstream unit through the outlet of the cooling section C.
[0028] The specific embodiments are described in detail in combination with experimental data:
[0029] The selected raw material is the quaternary gas of 48-58℃, which enters through the pipeline IV 001. The quaternary gas includes methanol steam, water vapor, air and tail gas. After being pressurized by the air blower, it passes through the silver bed IV to generate high-temperature exothermic reaction and obtain the reaction gas of 400-500℃.
[0030] The high-temperature gas passes through the multiple layers of copper baffle V, and the number of the baffle V is 3-8 layers. The gas enters the cyclone separator B in the tangential direction after being affected by the dust removal baffle VI at the top of the fluidized bed. Under the action of the spiral gas, a small amount of escaped small particles of the crystalline catalytic silver falls to the bottom of the cyclone separator B, which can be recycled during maintenance.
[0031] In order to realize the boiling state of the catalytic silver in the fluidized bed reaction section A, the pressure of the quaternary feed gas is increased to 15kpa for verification. However, excessive pressure will blow the silver catalyst to the top of the fluidized bed reaction section A, or even into the cyclone separator B. Therefore, the pressure of the quaternary feed gas is preferably 10-18kpa.
[0032] The high-temperature gas separates the escaped catalytic silver particles in the cyclone separator B, and flows to the desalted water cooling section to exchange heat with the desalted water in the water cooling column VII. The desalted water is heated to obtain the steam of 0.3-0.5mpa and 140-150℃. This effectively avoids the harsh heat shock when directly using the 650℃ process gas to exchange heat with the cold desalted water.
[0033] The obtained steam gas-liquid mixture flows to the steam drum D through the pipeline II 005 under pressure, and then the 0.3-0.5mpa steam is obtained after the gas-liquid separator, which is sent to the steam using unit through the pipeline V 006. The consumed desalted water is constantly supplemented by the feeding pipe 007.
[0034] After being cooled in the desalted water cooling section C, the obtained methanol mixed gas is 200-250℃, which is sent to the next absorption unit through the pipeline VI 003.
[0035] The fluidized bed reaction section A greatly reduces the temperature, and also reduces the generation of byproduct formic acid in the silver bed IV reaction, so that the requirement for the equipment material is not too harsh.
[0036] In summary, the introduction of the fluidized bed reaction system greatly increases the effective reaction time on the catalyst, and a relatively low temperature formaldehyde mixed gas is obtained.
[0037] The utility model discloses and its application mode are described, and this kind of description is not limited, and the shown in the drawing is only one of the embodiment of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited to this. In summary, if the ordinary skilled person in the art is inspired, without departing from the utility model creation tenet, not creative design is similar to the structure mode and the embodiment of this technical scheme, all should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
