Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of chemical technology, especially relates to an industrial trimethylolpropane continuous production system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is an important chemical raw material and organic intermediate. It is mainly used for producing alkyd resin and polyurethane, and can also be used for producing high-grade paint, rosin ester, surfactant, fiber processing agent, printing ink, plasticizer and high-grade lubricating oil, and can also be used as chain extender of resin, textile aid and thermal stabilizer of polyvinyl chloride resin.

[0003] In industry, TMP is mainly prepared by condensation kettle reaction of n-butyl aldehyde and formaldehyde under the action of alkaline catalyst, including Coniazzaro method and hydrogenation method. The hydrogenation method has higher requirement for production technology level, needs hydrogenation device in production process, has high equipment pressure, and has high requirement for hydrogenation equipment and catalyst, so the method is less used in industry, only BASF company in Germany uses the hydrogenation method, and the sodium method or calcium method Coniazzaro process is mostly used at home and abroad. The calcium salt used in the calcium method Coniazzaro process is difficult to handle, the process flow is long, the cost is high, the calcium salt is easy to crystallize and plug the pipeline, and the industrial production is difficult to solve, so most production plants use the sodium method Coniazzaro process.

[0004] The advanced technology abroad has adopted continuous reactor to replace the batch reactor, and the yield can reach about 95% based on n-butyl aldehyde, and the yield of the batch reactor is slightly lower, and the yield of the best process is 92%.

[0005] China began to develop and research trimethylolpropane process in the 1960s. The small-scale trial production devices of the first few plants were stopped due to backward technology, small scale, poor product quality and other reasons. In addition, several domestic research institutes such as Beijing Chemical Research Institute also carried out small-scale or pilot-scale research, but the engineering problems could not be solved, and the research still remained in the experimental stage. The domestic production devices mostly use batch production, and the process is backward, the cost is high, the quality is poor, the production capacity is low, the yield is low, and the unit consumption is higher than that of foreign countries. In recent years, China has relied on its own scientific research strength to develop and improve the production process, and realized the continuous production of trimethylolpropane, but the scale is small and the production plants are few, and at present only Beijing Chemical Plant No. 3, Jihua Group Haitai Company, Shanghai Nanda Chemical Plant and Shenyang Paint Plant, etc. have the production capacity, and the total output is less than 5000 t / a.

[0006] Therefore, in view of the production status and market prospect of trimethylolpropane in China, it is necessary to improve the existing technology, develop a large-scale industrial continuous production process with simple process, less side reaction, small post-treatment workload, good product quality, high yield, low operation energy consumption and low production cost, so that the trimethylolpropane production device in China can be greatly developed, and the technical level and product quality of the device can enter the world's leading ranks.
