Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pesticide processing, specifically relating to a pilot production device for reactive nano-pesticides. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly pesticides in modern agriculture, nanopesticides have gradually become a research hotspot in the pesticide field due to their unique size effect, targeted slow release, and environmental compatibility. However, the large-scale production of nanopesticides still faces many technical bottlenecks. Traditional production methods (such as mechanical grinding and chemical precipitation) generally suffer from complex processes, high energy consumption, and poor product uniformity. Furthermore, the production process often relies on large amounts of organic solvents or surfactants, leading to increased costs and the risk of secondary pollution. In addition, existing laboratory preparation techniques are difficult to directly scale up to pilot or industrial scale. Equipment lacks precise control over the nucleation, growth, and surface modification processes of nanoparticles, resulting in unstable product performance and poor batch-to-batch consistency during scale-up, severely restricting the practical application of nanopesticides.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing pilot-scale equipment often employs a step-by-step process, such as first synthesizing the carrier and then loading the pesticide. Furthermore, the limitations of traditional equipment in terms of mixing efficiency, mass and heat transfer performance, and online monitoring capabilities further restrict the efficient and continuous production of nanopesticides. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a pilot-scale production device for reactive nanopesticides. This invention solves the problems of low production efficiency, uneven dispersion, and high dependence on manual labor in existing technologies, enabling the transition from laboratory to pilot-scale production and improving the preparation efficiency and field efficacy stability of nanopesticides.
[0005] The present invention provides a pilot-scale production device for reactive nanopesticides, comprising a digitally controlled temperature reactor and a nanopesticide preparation vessel. The liquid discharge device of the digitally controlled temperature reactor is connected to the liquid delivery port of the nanopesticide preparation vessel via a corrosion-resistant pipe. The digitally controlled temperature reactor is equipped with a digital control screen A, a viewing window, a feed inlet, a mechanical stirrer, and an automatic water inlet cleaning device. The nanopesticide preparation vessel is equipped with a digital control screen B, a nanocarrier inlet, a liquid delivery port, and a discharge port. An ultrasonic dispersion device is also installed inside the nanopesticide preparation vessel to quickly and efficiently disperse the aggregated nanocarriers. A centrifuge device is also installed at the bottom of the nanopesticide preparation vessel to quickly precipitate the nanopesticides for convenient subsequent processing.
[0006] The feed inlet of the digitally temperature-controlled reactor is designed as an inverted funnel to prevent powdered drugs from clogging the inlet.
[0007] The mechanical stirrer inside the digital temperature-controlled reactor is a three-blade stirring device, which is divided into three groups in the longitudinal direction. It is suitable for operation of different reaction volumes. The gap between the blade and the bottom of the reactor is ≤5mm to ensure no dead corners in the mixing.
[0008] The nano-pesticide preparation vessel is equipped with a condensation device in the lower part of the vessel body, which uses circulating condensate water for condensation, thereby reducing the heat generated during the centrifugation process. The bottom of the ultrasonic dispersion device inside the vessel body is equipped with a titanium alloy amplitude transformer.
[0009] The digital temperature-controlled reactor has an embedded heating layer at the bottom, suitable for experiments requiring reaction temperatures, with an adjustable temperature range of 0-250℃; an automatic water inlet cleaning device is located at the top inside the reactor.
[0010] The feed inlet of the nano-pesticide preparation vessel is located at the bottom of the vessel, and the nano-carrier inlet is located at the top of the vessel.
[0011] The digital temperature-controlled reactor drainage device is located at the bottom of the reactor.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the device can realize the synchronous reaction and loading of pesticide active ingredients and nanocarriers, significantly shorten the production cycle, improve product stability, and reduce energy consumption and solvent dependence, thus providing technical support for the green and large-scale preparation of nano-pesticides.
[0013] 1. Increased production capacity: Single batch output reaches 50-200L, which is 10-20 times that of laboratory scale, meeting the needs of pilot production and shortening the production cycle by 40%;
[0014] 2. Dispersion uniformity: The dual dispersion of ultrasound and mechanical dispersion results in an average particle size of ≤100nm for the nanocarrier and a particle size distribution CV value of <5%.
[0015] 3. Automation level: Temperature control, cleaning, and centrifugation are all automated, reducing manual intervention by 90%;
[0016] 4. Safety: The sealed design combined with automatic cleaning reduces the risk of solvent exposure by 80%;
[0017] 5. Guaranteed efficacy in the field: Nanopesticides have a suspension rate of >98%, a photolysis rate reduced by 50%, and a residual effect extended by 30%. Attached image description:
