[0027] Example 1

[0029] The four-stage reaction chamber consists of reaction chamber 108, reaction chamber 2 109, reaction chamber 3 110 and reaction chamber 4 111, which are connected in sequence.

[0030] The nitric oxide gas input pipe 102 and the mixed liquid output pipe 107 both lead into the reaction chamber 108.

[0033] Each of the nitrogen monoxide gas input branch pipelines 104 is communicated with the bottom of the corresponding reaction one chamber 108, reaction two chamber 109, reaction three chamber 110 and reaction four chamber 111 respectively.

[0034] The reaction one chamber 108, the reaction two chamber 109, the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111 are connected with a liquid delivery pipeline 113, a fifth control valve 114 and a liquid level meter 112 between the reaction one chamber 108 and the reaction two chamber 109, the reaction two chamber 109 and the reaction three chamber 110, the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111, and the liquid level meter 112 is connected between the fifth control valve 114 and the corresponding reaction one chamber 108, reaction two chamber 109 and reaction three chamber 110 respectively.

[0035] The reaction four chamber 111 is communicated with an acid-containing waste liquid discharge pipeline 117 at the bottom, the acid-containing waste liquid discharge pipeline 117 is provided with a sixth control valve 119, and the liquid level meter 112 is arranged between the sixth control valve 119 and the reaction four chamber 111.

[0036] The reaction two chamber 109, the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111 are communicated with a methyl nitrite gas phase branch pipeline 115, the reaction one chamber 108 is communicated with a first methyl nitrite gas phase pipeline 118, each of the methyl nitrite gas phase branch pipelines 115 is communicated with a second methyl nitrite gas phase pipeline 116, the first methyl nitrite gas phase pipeline 118 is communicated with the second methyl nitrite gas phase pipeline 116, and the first methyl nitrite gas phase pipeline 118 is provided with a seventh control valve 1181.

[0037] The number of the four-stage reaction chambers is two and the structures are the same.

[0038] Working principle: the nitrogen source supplementing system has the reaction principle that:

[0039] HNO3+2NO+3CH3OH=3CH3ONO+2H2O, wherein NO is extracted from the synthesis gas after the completion of the reaction system, and is introduced into the first reaction chamber 108 of the fourth reaction chamber through the NO-containing gas input pipeline 102, CH3OH is supplemented by the alcohol-containing liquid after the completion of the reaction of the reaction system, and is introduced into the mixer 103 through the alcohol-containing liquid input pipeline 101, and HNO3 is supplemented from the outside, and is introduced into the mixer 103 through the HNO3 input pipeline 100. The HNO3 and CH3OH are mixed in the mixer 103 in advance to facilitate rapid and effective reaction with the NO gas in the first reaction chamber 108. At the same time, the first control valve 1001 and the flow meter 106 provided on the HNO3 input pipeline 100 can effectively control the volume of HNO3 entering the mixer 103, and the second control valve 1011 provided on the alcohol-containing liquid input pipeline 101 can effectively control the volume of CH3OH entering the mixer 103, so that the three can better react in the first reaction chamber 108;

[0040] The unreacted components of the alcohol-containing liquid and HNO3 mixture entering the first reaction chamber 108 will pass through the liquid delivery pipeline 113 into the second reaction chamber 109, and then successively into the third reaction chamber 110 and the fourth reaction chamber 111. At the same time, the NO-containing gas will also enter the first reaction chamber 108, the second reaction chamber 109, the third reaction chamber 110 and the fourth reaction chamber 111 through the NO-containing gas input branch pipelines 104. During this period, the fourth control valve 105 and the flow meter 106 are used to effectively control the volume of NO-containing gas entering the first reaction chamber 108 to the fourth reaction chamber 111, and the liquid level meter 112 and the fifth control valve 114 are used to effectively control the volume of the mixture in the first reaction chamber 108 to the fourth reaction chamber 111, so that the first reaction chamber 108 to the fourth reaction chamber 111 can complete the reaction efficiently;

[0041] The gaseous phase containing CH3ONO produced in the second reaction chamber 109 to the fourth reaction chamber 111 will enter the CH3ONO gaseous phase branch pipeline 115, and then enter the second CH3ONO gaseous phase pipeline 116, and finally enter the first CH3ONO gaseous phase pipeline 118 together with the gaseous phase containing CH3ONO produced in the first reaction chamber 108 to be re-supplied into the synthesis system, so as to realize the supplement of the nitrogen source;

[0042] The acid-containing waste liquid from the reaction four chamber 111 will finally be discharged to the outside through the acid-containing waste liquid discharge pipeline 117. After sufficient reaction in the reaction one chamber 108 to the reaction four chamber 111, the nitric acid content at the outlet of the reaction four chamber 111 is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the acid load of the subsequent section and further reducing the processing cost.

[0043] Further, the seventh control valve 1181 and the flow meter 106 provided in the first methylene nitrite gas phase pipeline 118 can effectively control the methylene nitrite content entering the next reaction system.

[0044] Further, the sixth control valve 119 provided in the acid-containing waste liquid discharge pipeline 117 and the liquid level meter 112 of the reaction four chamber 111 can better control the nitric acid content at the outlet of the reaction four chamber 111.

[0045] Further, the number of four-stage reaction chambers is two and the structures are the same, which can speed up the working efficiency of the entire system, form effective echo with the front and rear systems, and greatly improve the reaction and operation process of the system.

[0046] Further, the nitrogen monoxide gas input branch pipeline 104 is communicated with the bottom of the reaction one chamber 108, the reaction two chamber 109, the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111, forming the effect of gas phase and liquid phase bubbling feeding, so that the circulating nitrogen monoxide gas and methanol and nitric acid are fully reacted, the total nitrogen content of the synthesis system can be controlled by adjusting the bubbling gas amount of each chamber, and the reaction system can be ensured to run stably at full load.

[0047] Further, the system adopts four-stage reaction chambers, thereby reducing the acid load of the subsequent section. The results show that the nitric acid content at the outlet of the reaction four chamber 111 is always maintained below 0.5% under the full load running state, which is good. If a three-stage structure is adopted, the expected effect cannot be achieved, and if a five-stage structure is adopted, the cost will be wasted too much and the benefit cannot compensate the cost.

[0048] Further, for the entire system, the nitrogen monoxide gas flow rate of the reaction one chamber 108 is controlled at 2500-6900 cubic meters / hour, the nitrogen monoxide gas flow rate of the reaction two chamber 109 is controlled at 2000-3400 cubic meters / hour, the nitrogen monoxide gas flow rate of the reaction three chamber 110 is controlled at 1500-3600 cubic meters / hour, and the nitrogen monoxide gas flow rate of the reaction four chamber 111 is controlled at 800-1500 cubic meters / hour.

[0049] Further, the nitric acid flow rate from the outside is controlled at 16-250 kilograms / hour.

[0050] Further, the temperature of the reaction one chamber 108 is controlled at 60-68 degrees, the temperature of the reaction two chamber 109 is controlled at 65-78 degrees, and the temperature of the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111 is controlled at 65-78 degrees.

[0051] The liquid levels of the reaction one chamber 108, the reaction two chamber 109, the reaction three chamber 110 and the reaction four chamber 111 are controlled at about 55%.

[0052] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific embodiments of the present application can still be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Any modification or equivalent replacement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
