Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reaction technology for preparing modified asphalt, and specifically to a homogeneous reaction apparatus for preparing modified asphalt. Background Technology
[0002] Coal tar pitch possesses advantages such as good adhesion and wetting properties, good erosion resistance, and a high coefficient of friction for pavements. However, it is highly heat-sensitive, has poor ductility, is prone to aging, and easily pollutes the environment, especially due to its high content of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which seriously endangers the environment and human health. Therefore, its application is significantly limited, necessitating modification treatment.
[0003] Reactors are commonly used equipment in asphalt modification. In the traditional process of preparing modified asphalt, asphalt fumes are generated, along with the volatilization of additives and solvents, which endanger the safety of personnel and the environment.
[0004] Patent CN 205152152 U improves the production device for modified asphalt, which enhances its application performance to a certain extent. However, its design is complex, it has many pieces of equipment, which increases the cost of the equipment and its applicability is limited.

Although the above two patents adopt a simple single-reactor reactor, their main disadvantages include: first, the lack of a solvent recovery and utilization system makes it difficult to recover and reuse the solvent, which poses problems such as environmental pollution and harm to human health; second, the lack of an independent feeding system prevents online continuous feeding during the experiment, reducing the sustainability and economy of the experiment.

The outlet pipe of the safety valve 9 is connected to the external exhaust pipe 12-6 of the condensation and separation system 12.
[0032] A condensation and separation system 12 is provided above the reactor cover plate 2. The condensation and separation system 12 is used to cool and recover the solvent volatilized in the reactor 4 and to regulate the pressure in the reactor 4.
[0033] The upper part of the base 1 is directly connected to the reactor cover plate 2. The reactor 4 is fixed to the reactor cover plate 2 by bolts and is detachable. The drain valve 5 adopts a double valve type connection to prevent spherical blockage and quick disassembly. The reactor 4 is placed in the heating jacket 3. The heating rate of the heating jacket 3 is 5~100℃ / min, and the heating temperature is room temperature~1100℃.
[0034] The intake line 6 is equipped with a flow regulating valve 7 to control the gas volume. The gas intake line 6 can supply nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, air, oxygen, carbon monoxide, methane, syngas, or one or more combinations thereof.
[0035] A multi-stage agitator 10 is installed in the middle of the reactor cover plate 2. The multi-stage agitator 10 is driven by a motor to stir the materials in the reactor 4. The stirring speed of the multi-stage agitator is 100-4000 r / min. The top of the multi-stage agitator 10 is equipped with a special sealing device to ensure that the reactor 4 can be operated under pressure.
[0036] The reactor cover plate 2 is equipped with a feeding system 8, which includes a silo 8-1, an electronic scale 8-2, a pressurized conveyor 8-3, a batching silo 8-4, and a feed control valve 8-5. Raw materials are added to the silo 8-1, which contains a whistle and a loosening air passage. The raw materials enter the batching silo 8-4 through the pressurized conveyor 8-3. The feed control valve 8-5 is then opened to allow the raw materials to enter the reactor 4. Liquid materials such as additives enter the reactor 4 through the batching silo 8-4. The additives are one or more combinations of benzene glycol, terephthalaldehyde, formaldehyde, sulfuric acid, sodium p-toluenesulfonate, anhydrous aluminum chloride, cyclohexane, toluene, n-butanol, and dichloromethane.

Gas is safely discharged from the device through the external exhaust pipe 12-6, and the solvent is recycled back into the reactor 4. The solvent is one or a combination of petroleum ether, acetone, dichloromethane, cyclohexane, and toluene.
[0042] The lower pipeline of the separator 12-3 is equipped with a one-way valve 12-4 and an inverted "V" shaped pipeline to ensure that the solution at the bottom of the separator 12-3 can smoothly enter the reactor 4, while preventing the solvent in the reactor 4 from evaporating and flowing back into the separator 12-3.
[0043] The reactor 4 is equipped with a cooling water coil 13 to accurately control the reaction temperature of the reactor 4 and ensure that the material is cooled in a short time after the reaction is completed. The cooling water coil 13 is arranged in a winding manner, close to the inner wall of the reactor 4 and avoiding the agitator 10 inside the reactor.
[0044] Pressure regulating valve 12-5 can control the pressure of reactor 4. The operating pressure of reactor 4 is 0.001~4.0MPa.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model:
[0046] Step 1. Open the heating jacket 3, fix the reactor 4 to the reactor cover plate 2 with bolts, and close the heating jacket 3;
[0047] Step 2. Zero the electronic scale 8-2 in the feeding system 8, start the pressurized conveyor 8-3, open the feed control valve 8-5, add the prepared raw materials into the silo 8-1, monitor the feed amount through the electronic scale 8-2, and close the pressurized conveyor 8-3 after the required amount for the experiment is reached. Add the required additives to the reaction vessel 4 through the mixing silo 8-4. After the materials are added, close the feed control valve 8-5 and start the multi-stage agitator 10.
[0048] Step 3. Open the flow regulating valve 7 on the air inlet line 6 to introduce the experimental gas into the reactor 4. Set the temperature of the cooling water circulation pump 12-1 to allow the cooling water to enter the condenser 12-2. Observe the pressure inside the reactor 4 at any time through the pressure gauge 11 and control it through the pressure regulating valve 12-5 to keep the device in a safe state. Set and turn on the temperature of the heating jacket 3 to start the temperature rise and carry out the constant temperature reaction.
[0049] Step 4. After the reaction is complete, cool the mixture to a safe range using the cooling water coil 13, open the heating jacket 3, disassemble the reaction vessel 4, and unload the material.
