Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ammonia synthesis technology, and more specifically, to a system for ammonia synthesis via a liquid phase method. Background Technology
[0002] The ammonia synthesis industry occupies a pivotal position in modern chemical industry. Ammonia, as an important chemical raw material, is widely used in fertilizer production, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibers, and many other fields. Traditional ammonia synthesis processes are mainly based on the Haber-Bosch process, which has made significant contributions to global food production and industrial development since its invention.
[0003] With advancements in technology and increasing demands for sustainable development, the limitations of traditional ammonia synthesis processes are becoming increasingly apparent. Specifically, these limitations manifest in the following ways: First, the reaction conditions for traditional ammonia synthesis are extremely demanding, requiring high temperatures (350℃-550℃) and high pressures (15MPa-30MPa). This places extremely high demands on equipment materials and manufacturing processes, and also results in significant resource consumption during production. Furthermore, the high operating temperatures and pressures necessitate the use of gas-phase methods, which face the significant challenge of extremely difficult mass transfer and a lack of technological breakthroughs. Second, the iron-based catalysts used in traditional processes have limited performance. Although this catalyst possesses a certain degree of stability and activity, its internal diffusion problem slows down the diffusion rate of gas within the catalyst particles, and the catalyst also has limitations in optimizing gas-gas reactions. These factors collectively restrict the improvement of reaction efficiency. Furthermore, traditional ammonia synthesis processes mainly employ a fixed-bed method, which involves complex separation and recovery processes and extremely high energy consumption. The fixed-bed method also presents numerous inconveniences when the catalyst needs to be replaced due to deactivation. Finally, due to the high energy consumption of traditional processes, a large amount of greenhouse gases are emitted during production, causing serious environmental impact.
[0004] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a system for ammonia synthesis via liquid phase. This system uses a liquid phase method to synthesize ammonia and combines a cluster-matrix cocatalyst and a pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device to effectively reduce reaction temperature and pressure, reduce resource consumption, and improve reaction efficiency. In addition, the system simplifies the catalyst addition process by mixing the catalyst into the liquid ammonia before adding it to the reactor, and simplifies the catalyst separation process by setting up a buffer tank.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0007] This invention provides a system for synthesizing ammonia using a liquid phase method, comprising: a hydrogen pipeline, a nitrogen pipeline, a liquid ammonia pipeline, a catalyst pipeline, a gas mixer, a solid-liquid mixer, a reactor, and a buffer tank;
[0008] Both the catalyst pipeline and the liquid ammonia pipeline are connected to the solid-liquid mixer. The cluster-matrix co-catalyst delivered by the catalyst pipeline and the liquid ammonia delivered by the liquid ammonia pipeline are mixed in the solid-liquid mixer and then fed into the reactor.
[0009] Both the hydrogen pipeline and the nitrogen pipeline are connected to the gas inlet of the gas mixer;
[0010] The reactor is equipped with two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices, which are located below the liquid surface and at the same height. The radial outlets of the two devices are staggered, while their tangential outlets face opposite directions. This allows the microbubbles emitted from the devices to drive the liquid within the reactor to flow in a predetermined direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise. The outlet of the gas mixer is connected to the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices.
[0011] The reactor outlet is connected to the buffer tank inlet, the buffer tank has a product outlet on its side wall, and a reflux port is provided at the bottom of the buffer tank. The reflux port is connected to the reactor to return the catalyst deposited at the bottom of the buffer tank to the reactor.
[0012] In the above scheme, by using a cluster-matrix co-catalyst to catalyze the synthesis of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, the reaction temperature and pressure can be reduced, and the internal diffusion problem of traditional catalysts can be avoided. By using a pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device to disperse and break the reaction mixture (hydrogen + nitrogen) into micron-sized microbubbles, the mass transfer area is increased, and the reaction conditions are reduced. Using a liquid-phase ammonia synthesis method can improve reaction efficiency, reduce reaction difficulty, and increase reaction conversion rate at the mass transfer level. Adding the catalyst to the reactor after mixing it with liquid ammonia reduces the difficulty of catalyst addition, and the catalyst can be uniformly dispersed within the reactor, which helps improve the overall catalytic effect. By setting up a buffer tank, the product can be purified, preventing impurities from affecting product purity. To facilitate catalyst recovery and avoid catalyst waste, the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices are staggered radially with opposite tangential outlets. This avoids collisions between the two radial airflow streams, preventing dead zones in the liquid. Furthermore, the microbubbles emitted from the two devices agitate the liquid within the reactor, promoting uniform microbubble distribution, preventing aggregation, increasing the mass transfer area and the contact area between the reactants (hydrogen and nitrogen) and the catalyst, thus improving reaction efficiency. Additionally, the agitation ensures uniform catalyst distribution, preventing deposition at the bottom of the reactor and maintaining catalytic effectiveness. This agitation also leads to a more uniform temperature distribution within the reactor. In summary, this system, combining liquid-phase method, cluster-matrix co-catalyst, and pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device, can reduce the reaction temperature and pressure of ammonia synthesis, minimizing resource consumption while improving mass transfer and reaction efficiency. This system aligns with green chemistry principles, featuring low energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and easy catalyst replacement and recovery, making it a promising candidate for widespread applications.
[0013] Preferably, the buffer tank is equipped with a baffle plate that divides the interior of the buffer tank into a buffer zone and a collection zone. The inlet of the buffer tank is located on the side wall of the buffer zone, and the outlet of the buffer tank is located at the bottom of the collection zone. The crude product entering the buffer tank settles and separates in the buffer zone, and the liquid ammonia in the crude product overflows through the top of the baffle plate to the collection zone. As the crude product enters the buffer tank, the ammonia in the crude product condenses and liquefies, while the catalyst settles at the bottom of the buffer tank. As the amount of crude product increases, the liquid level in the buffer tank rises, and the upper layer of liquid ammonia gradually rises to the top of the baffle plate, overflows from the top of the baffle plate to the collection zone, and is collected through the outlet of the buffer tank. The catalyst at the bottom flows back to the reactor to continue participating in the reaction. This scheme, by setting up a baffle plate, helps to avoid the catalyst affecting the purity of the product, thereby contributing to the obtaining of high-purity liquid ammonia.
[0014] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the inlet of the buffer tank, and the baffle is inclined upward; the bottom of the baffle is connected to the inner sidewall of the buffer tank, and the top height is lower than that of the isolation plate. The baffle can block the coarse product, preventing the kinetic energy of the coarse product when entering the buffer tank from impacting the liquid inside the buffer tank, thereby avoiding affecting the sedimentation and separation effect inside the buffer tank. Therefore, this solution is beneficial to further improve the purity of the product.
[0015] Preferably, the system further includes an annular agitator disposed inside the reactor; the annular agitator includes an annular tube and multiple nozzles arranged in an array below the annular tube along the target direction; the multiple nozzles are inclined downwards; the solid-liquid mixture input from the solid-liquid mixer enters the annular tube and then enters the reactor through the nozzles. The multiple nozzles of the annular agitator spray the solid-liquid mixture into the reactor, which can agitate and stir the liquid in the reactor. This is beneficial for rapidly mixing the solid-liquid mixture with the liquid, improving the uniformity of catalyst distribution; furthermore, it can capture unreacted feed gas by stirring, further increasing the mass transfer area of the feed gas and improving the feed conversion rate; and still more importantly, this method can further improve the uniformity of temperature distribution in the liquid.
[0016] Preferably, the tilt angle of the nozzle in the horizontal direction is within the range of [15°, 45°]. This angle design can improve the stirring effect of the solid-liquid mixture sprayed by the nozzle on the liquid in the reactor.
[0017] Preferably, the target direction is the same as the preset direction. In this case, both the target direction and the preset direction are clockwise or counterclockwise. The annular agitator and the two oppositely arranged pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices can agitate the liquid in the same direction at different liquid level heights. This helps to improve the agitation effect on the liquid, thereby further improving the uniformity of the distribution of the catalyst and the microbubbles ejected by the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices in the liquid, and thus further improving the reaction efficiency and raw material conversion rate.
[0018] Preferably, a circulation pipeline is provided on one side of the reactor, and a hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device is installed inside the reactor, located below the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device. The inlet of the circulation pipeline is connected to the reactor and located above the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device, while the outlet of the circulation pipeline is connected to the hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device. A circulation pump and a heat exchanger are installed on the circulation pipeline. In this design, the liquid in the upper part of the reactor can be continuously circulated to the hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device through the circulation pipeline. This helps to increase the residence time of hydrogen and nitrogen in the liquid and makes the temperature distribution of the liquid in the reactor more uniform. In addition, the heat exchanger on the circulation pipeline can improve the temperature stability inside the reactor, ensuring that the reaction always takes place at a suitable temperature, thereby further guaranteeing the reaction efficiency.
[0019] Preferably, the outlet of the hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device is connected to a diffuser tube, the upper end of which has multiple openings, and the upper end of the diffuser tube is located between the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices. The gas-liquid emulsion obtained by the dispersion and breakup of the hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device is input into the space between the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices via the diffuser tube. In this scheme, the gas-liquid emulsion obtained by the dispersion and breakup of the hydraulically enhanced mass transfer device can be directly transported between the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices, and uniformly dispersed into the liquid under the action of microbubbles ejected from the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices, which helps to further improve the mass transfer area and reaction efficiency.
[0020] Preferably, the reactor further includes a cooler and a gas-liquid separator; the cooler and the gas-liquid separator are connected in sequence to the top of the reactor; the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device. The gas discharged from the top of the reactor can be separated by the cooler and the gas-liquid separator, wherein the cooled and liquefied gas is liquid ammonia, and the uncooled gas is a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. The mixture is returned to the reactor via the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device to continue participating in the reaction.
[0021] Preferably, the system further includes a reflux pipeline, the inlet of which is connected to the reflux port, and the outlet of which is connected to the reactor. The outlet of the reflux pipeline is located vertically between the liquid surface of the reactor and the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device. By positioning the reflux port above the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device, the agitation effect of the microbubbles ejected from the two devices can be used to uniformly disperse the catalyst in the reflux material in the liquid, preventing catalyst aggregation and deposition at the bottom of the reactor. Furthermore, the outlet of the reflux pipeline can be located vertically between the annular agitator and the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device, which can further improve the agitation and dispersion effect on the reflux material.
[0022] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the pneumatic enhanced mass transfer device and the hydraulic enhanced mass transfer device used in this utility model have been reflected in the inventor's prior patents, such as patents with application numbers CN201610641119.6, CN201610641251.7, CN201710766435.0, CN106187660A, CN105903425A, CN205833127U and CN207581700U. The prior patent CN201610641119.6 details the specific product structure and working principle of a micron-sized bubble generator (i.e., a bubble breaker). This application document states that "the micron-sized bubble generator includes a main body and a secondary breaking component. The main body has a cavity, and an inlet communicating with the cavity is provided on the main body. The first and second ends of the cavity are both open, and the cross-sectional area of the cavity decreases from the middle of the cavity towards the first and second ends. The secondary breaking component is located at at least one of the first and second ends of the cavity, with a portion of the secondary breaking component located within the cavity. A ring-shaped channel is formed between the secondary breaking component and the open through-holes at both ends of the cavity. The micron-sized bubble generator also includes an air inlet pipe and a liquid inlet pipe." From the specific structure disclosed in this application document, its specific working principle can be understood as follows: liquid enters the micron-sized bubble generator tangentially through the liquid inlet pipe, rotates at ultra-high speed, and cuts the gas, causing the gas bubbles to break into micron-sized microbubbles, thereby increasing the mass transfer area between the liquid and gas phases. Moreover, the micron-sized bubble generator in this patent is a pneumatic bubble breaker.
[0023] Furthermore, prior patent 201610641251.7 describes a primary bubble breaker with a circulating liquid inlet, a circulating gas inlet, and a gas-liquid mixture outlet, while a secondary bubble breaker connects the feed inlet to the gas-liquid mixture outlet. This indicates that both bubble breakers require a gas-liquid mixture to enter. Additionally, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the primary bubble breaker primarily utilizes the circulating liquid as its power source, thus classifying it as a hydraulically driven enhanced reactor. The secondary bubble breaker simultaneously introduces the gas-liquid mixture into an elliptical rotating sphere for rotation, thereby achieving bubble breakage during rotation. Therefore, the secondary bubble breaker is actually a gas-liquid linkage bubble breaker. In fact, both hydraulically driven and gas-liquid linkage bubble breakers are specific forms of bubble breakers. However, the enhanced mass transfer device used in this invention is not limited to these forms; the specific structure of the bubble breaker described in the prior patent is merely one possible form for this invention.
[0024] Furthermore, prior patent 201710766435.0 states that "the principle of the bubble breaker is to achieve mutual collision of gases by high-speed jetting"; and prior patent CN106187660 also describes the specific structure of the bubble breaker, as detailed in paragraphs
[0031] -
[0041] of the specification and the attached drawings. It elaborates on the specific working principle of the bubble breaker S-2. The top of the bubble breaker is the liquid phase inlet, and the side is the gas phase inlet. The liquid phase entering from the top provides the entrainment force, thereby achieving the effect of crushing into ultrafine bubbles. The attached drawings also show that the bubble breaker has a conical structure, with the upper diameter being larger than the lower diameter, which is also to allow the liquid phase to provide better entrainment force.
[0025] Because the bubble breaker was newly developed in the early stages of the prior patent application, it was initially named a micron bubble generator (CN201610641119.6), etc. With continuous technological improvements, it was later renamed a bubble breaker. The enhanced mass transfer device in this utility model is equivalent to the previous micron bubble generator, micro-interface generator, etc., only with different names. In summary, both the pneumatic enhanced mass transfer device and the hydraulic enhanced mass transfer device of this utility model belong to the prior art.
[0026] This invention also provides a method for synthesizing ammonia using a liquid phase method, which uses the system described in any of the above embodiments to synthesize ammonia.
[0027] Preferably, the reaction temperature of this method is in the range of [85℃, 115℃], and the reaction pressure is in the range of [3MPa, 8MPa].
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0029] 1. By using a cluster-matrix co-catalyst to catalyze the synthesis of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, the reaction temperature and pressure can be reduced, and the internal diffusion problem caused by traditional catalysts can be avoided.
[0030] 2. By using a pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device to disperse and break the reaction mixture (hydrogen + nitrogen) into micron-sized microbubbles, the mass transfer area is increased and the reaction conditions are reduced.
[0031] 3. By using the liquid-phase method to synthesize ammonia, the reaction efficiency can be improved, the reaction difficulty reduced, and the reaction conversion rate increased at the mass transfer level;
[0032] 4. By mixing the catalyst with liquid ammonia before adding it to the reactor, the difficulty of adding the catalyst can be reduced, and the catalyst can be evenly dispersed in the reactor, which helps to improve the overall catalytic effect. By setting up a buffer tank, the product can be purified to avoid the catalyst mixed in affecting the purity of the product, and the catalyst can be easily recovered to avoid catalyst waste.
[0033] 5. By staggering the radial outlets of the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices and having their tangential outlets facing opposite directions, the collision of the two radial airflows can be avoided, preventing liquid dead zones. Furthermore, the microbubbles ejected from the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices can drive the liquid in the reactor to flow in a preset direction, thereby stirring the liquid in the reactor. This can ensure that the microbubbles are evenly distributed, preventing microbubble aggregation, increasing the mass transfer area and the contact area between the reactants (hydrogen and nitrogen) and the catalyst, thus improving the reaction efficiency. On the other hand, stirring the liquid can ensure that the catalyst is evenly distributed in the liquid, preventing the catalyst from depositing at the bottom of the reactor, thereby ensuring the catalytic effect of the catalyst. Moreover, this stirring method can make the temperature distribution of the liquid in the reactor more uniform.
[0034] 6. The system of this utility model combines liquid phase method, cluster-matrix co-catalyst and pneumatic enhanced mass transfer device, which can improve mass transfer effect and reaction efficiency while reducing the reaction temperature and reaction pressure of ammonia synthesis reaction and reducing resource consumption. The system has the characteristics of low energy consumption, greenness and easy replacement and recycling of catalyst, and has broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

The liquid ammonia and catalyst are thoroughly mixed and evenly dispersed in the solid-liquid mixer 2, and then pumped into the reactor 7. The height of the pure catalyst solution in the reactor 7 is 1 / 5 of the reactor 7. Then, nitrogen and hydrogen are introduced into the gas mixer 6 at a nitrogen-to-hydrogen molar ratio of 1:3. After thorough mixing, the mixture is blown into the reactor 7 through the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device 15, causing the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture to form micron-sized small bubbles in the catalyst solution. During this process, the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture reacts with the catalyst. During the reaction, the gas flowing out from the top of the reactor 7 is cooled by the cooler 13 and enters the gas-liquid separator 12. The separated liquid ammonia enters the product storage tank 11, while the gas is returned to the reactor 7 via the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device 15 to continue participating in the reaction. The crude product at the bottom of the reactor 7 is fed into the buffer tank 10 and deposited there. The higher purity liquid ammonia at the top is separated by the isolation plate 1001 and fed into the product storage tank 11. The liquid ammonia at the bottom, containing a high concentration of catalyst, is refluxed back into reactor 7 to continue participating in the reaction.
[0067] The system using this embodiment was used in small-scale experiments under the following reaction conditions:
[0068] A. Reaction temperature 85℃, reaction pressure 3MPa;
[0069] B. Reaction temperature 85℃, reaction pressure 4MPa;
[0070] C. Reaction temperature 100℃, reaction pressure 5.5MPa;
[0071] D. Reaction temperature 115℃, reaction pressure 8MPa.
[0072] In this small-scale experiment, the flow rate of the mixed gas (hydrogen-ammonia molar ratio 3:1) was 200 ml / min, the amount of catalyst was 150 mg, and the circulating liquid ammonia flow rate was 3 L / min.
[0073] Four hours after the reaction, the yield of liquid ammonia in product storage tank 11 was measured. Under condition A, the yield was 1.4 kg with a purity of 99.5%; under condition B, the yield was 1.5 kg with a purity of 99.6%; under condition C, the yield was 1.6 kg with a purity of 99.5%; and under condition D, the yield was 1.8 kg with a purity of 99.7%. Simultaneously, the incompletely reacted nitrogen-hydrogen mixture (extracted from the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator) after the reaction under conditions A, B, C, and D was analyzed. Its composition ratio remained stable, allowing for continued recycling, and the catalyst activity did not significantly decrease after multiple cycles. Monitoring also revealed that the system operated stably under these conditions without any abnormalities.
[0074] The system of this embodiment was used for a scale-up experiment (i.e., based on the small-scale experiment, the experimental setup was scaled up proportionally, using larger reaction equipment and auxiliary facilities to ensure that the equipment materials and structure met the process requirements). The reaction temperature was 95℃, the reaction pressure was 5MPa, the mixed gas flow rate was 10L / min, the catalyst dosage was 1.5g, and the circulating liquid ammonia flow rate was 8L / min. After 8 hours of reaction, the liquid ammonia yield in the product storage tank was measured to be 5.2kg, and the product purity reached over 99.5%, meeting industrial standards. During the reaction, the equipment operated stably without any abnormalities, proving the feasibility of the scale-up experiment.

Furthermore, the catalyst activity did not significantly decrease after multiple cycles. Monitoring also revealed that the system operated stably throughout the reaction process without any abnormalities.

[0104] Using this system, a small-scale experiment was conducted under conditions B of Example 1.

Furthermore, the catalyst activity did not significantly decrease after multiple cycles. Monitoring also revealed that the system operated stably throughout the reaction process without any abnormalities.
[0105] Comparative Example 3
[0106] The system in this example is a traditional ammonia synthesis process system. For example... Figure 7As shown, the system includes a hydrogen storage tank 4, a nitrogen storage tank 5, a gas mixer 6, a fixed-bed reaction tower 23, a product storage tank 11, a cooler 13, and a gas-liquid separator 12. The hydrogen storage tank 4 and nitrogen storage tank 5 are connected to the gas mixer 6, which is connected to the fixed-bed reaction tower 23. The top outlet of the fixed-bed reaction tower 23 is sequentially connected to the cooler 13 and the gas-liquid separator 12. The gas phase outlet of the gas-liquid separator 12 is connected to the gas mixer 6, and the liquid phase outlet is connected to the product storage tank 11. During the reaction, nitrogen and hydrogen are mixed in the gas mixer 6 at a nitrogen-to-hydrogen molar ratio of 1:3 and then introduced into the fixed-bed reaction tower 23 for ammonia synthesis under conventional reaction conditions. The reacted gas is cooled by the cooler 13, and liquid ammonia is separated in the gas-liquid separator 12 and collected in the product storage tank 11.
[0107] A small-scale experiment was conducted using the system described in this example. The reaction temperature was 450℃, the reaction pressure was 20MPa, and after 4 hours of reaction, the liquid ammonia yield in the product storage tank was measured to be 0.8 kg with a purity of 99.1%. Simultaneously, monitoring revealed slight losses in the fixed-bed reaction tower of the system after the experiment.
[0108] A scale-up experiment was conducted using the system from this example, with a reaction temperature of 500℃ and a reaction pressure of 25MPa. After 8 hours of reaction, the yield of liquid ammonia in the product storage tank was measured to be 3kg, with a purity of 99.3%. Simultaneously, monitoring revealed some sealing problems during equipment operation and significant energy consumption.
[0109] As can be seen from the data in Examples 1-9, the system of this invention can stably and efficiently synthesize ammonia under relatively low temperature and pressure conditions. Furthermore, according to the experimental data in Example 1, the system of this invention can achieve good ammonia production efficiency within a reaction temperature range of 85℃-115℃ and a reaction pressure range of 3MPa-8MPa.
[0110] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Example 2 under condition B, it can be seen that the product yield and purity of Example 1 are significantly better than those of Example 2. This may be because the preset direction in Example 2 is opposite to the target direction, which causes the stirring effect of the pneumatic enhanced mass transfer device and the annular disturbance device on the liquid in the reactor to a certain extent to cancel each other out. This results in poor uniformity of the catalyst and microbubbles in the reactor, affecting the catalytic effect and reaction efficiency of the catalyst.
[0111] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Example 3 under condition B, it can be seen that the product yield and purity of Example 1 are both better than those of Example 3. This may be because the upper end of the diffuser in Example 1 is located vertically between the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device and the annular disturbance device, allowing the output microbubbles to disperse more quickly and uniformly, resulting in better reaction efficiency.
[0112] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Example 4 under condition B, it can be seen that the product yield and purity of Example 1 are both superior to those of Example 4. This may be because, on the one hand, compared to Example 4, the refluxed catalyst in Example 1 is farther from the bottom of the reactor, and the catalyst may settle to the bottom of the reactor more slowly; on the other hand, the refluxed catalyst in Example 1 is simultaneously stirred by the annular agitator and the pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device, which can quickly and uniformly disperse it into the reactor, thereby resulting in better catalytic effect and reaction efficiency in Example 1.
[0113] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Examples 5-8 under condition B, it can be seen that the liquid ammonia yield and purity of Examples 1, 5, and 6 are better, while the liquid ammonia yield and purity of Examples 7 and 8 are relatively worse. This indicates that the annular agitator has a better stirring effect on the liquid in the reactor when the tilt angle of the nozzle in the horizontal direction is within the range of [15°, 45°].
[0114] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Example 9 under condition B, it can be seen that the product purity of Example 1 is significantly better than that of Example 9. This may be because the baffle top height is relatively high in Example 9, causing some crude product to overflow into the collection area of the buffer tank without settling, resulting in a large amount of catalyst mixed in the product and affecting the product purity.
[0115] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 under condition B, it can be seen that the product yield and purity of Example 1 are significantly better than those of Comparative Example 1. This may be because the collision of microbubble flows in the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices in Comparative Example 1 leads to dead zones in the liquid within the reactor, which in turn affects the uniform dispersion of the catalyst and microbubbles, reducing the catalytic effect and reaction efficiency.
[0116] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 under condition B, it can be seen that the product yield and purity of Example 1 are significantly better than those of Comparative Example 2. This may be because the stirring effect is better when the tangential outlets of the two pneumatically enhanced mass transfer devices in Example 1 are oriented in opposite directions, resulting in a more uniform distribution of catalyst and microbubbles, thus leading to higher reaction efficiency and higher yield.
[0117] Comparing the experimental data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the system of this invention can achieve a higher product yield under the premise that the reaction temperature and pressure are significantly lower than those of the traditional ammonia synthesis process, and the system stability is significantly better than that of the traditional ammonia synthesis process.
[0118] In summary, this invention combines a liquid-phase method, a cluster-matrix co-catalyst, and a pneumatically enhanced mass transfer device. This system can reduce the reaction temperature and pressure of ammonia synthesis, reduce resource consumption, and improve mass transfer and reaction efficiency. The system features low energy consumption, green operation, and easy catalyst replacement and recovery, and has broad application prospects.
