By mixing the homogeneous catalyst and the polymerization inhibitor into the propenal in advance before the reaction, the homogeneous catalyst and the polymerization inhibitor can be uniformly distributed in the hydration reactor, thereby better exerting the catalytic and polymerization inhibition effects and improving the conversion rate of the reaction raw materials while reducing the occurrence of side reactions. By arranging the first mass transfer intensifier unit in the hydration reactor, deionized water can be dispersed into micron-sized microdroplets, thereby increasing the interfacial mass transfer area of deionized water and propenal, which helps to improve the efficiency of the hydration reaction and the conversion rate of the raw materials, and to a certain extent, reduces the requirements for temperature and pressure of the hydration reaction, thereby helping to reduce the energy consumption of the reaction. The hydrogenation reactor of the scheme adopts a slurry bed reactor, and a hydrogenation reaction catalyst is added to the hydrogenation reactor through the fourth feed pipeline, so that the hydrogenation reaction catalyst can be replaced in real time during production, thereby solving the problem of catalyst replacement of the fixed bed. By arranging the second mass transfer intensifier unit in the hydrogenation reactor, hydrogen can be dispersed and broken into micron-sized micro-bubbles, thereby increasing the interfacial mass transfer area of hydrogen and 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, which helps to improve the reaction efficiency of the hydrogenation reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde, and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol, and to a certain extent, reduces the requirements for temperature and pressure of the hydrogenation reaction, thereby helping to reduce the energy consumption of the reaction.

The liquid phase that enters from the top provides the entrainment power, so that the effect of being broken into superfine bubbles is achieved. It can be seen from the drawing that the bubble breaker has a conical structure, and the diameter of the upper part is larger than that of the lower part, so that the liquid phase can better provide the entrainment power.

The reacted material flows upwardly in the hydration reactor 1, flows into the rotating disc extraction column 6 from the top, and is extracted and separated, and the extraction agent is at least one of methyl tert-butyl ether, diethyl ether and benzene. The extraction theoretical tray number is 3-6, the extraction mode is countercurrent extraction, the oil-water mass ratio is 1.5-5:1, and the extraction temperature is 25-40°C. The separated water phase containing 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde flows into the hydrogenation reactor 8 from the bottom to perform hydrogenation reaction, and the oil phase containing N-alkyl amino acid and unreacted propenal flows into the rectifying column 7 from the top to perform rectification and separation. The propenal produced at the top of the rectifying column 7 flows into the hydration reactor 1 for recycling, the extraction agent produced at the middle section flows into the extraction column for recycling, and the N-alkyl amino acid produced at the bottom flows into the hydration reactor 1 for recycling.
[0079] Then, the powder supported noble metal catalyst is loaded into the hydrogenation reactor 8, hydrogen is introduced into the micro-interface intensified unit of the hydrogenation reactor 8, the pressure of the hydrogenation reaction is controlled to be 2-5 MPa (gauge pressure), the temperature is controlled to be 40-100°C, the space velocity is controlled to be 1-5 h -1 to generate 1,3-propanediol.

[0086] Example 3
[0087] The system used in this example is the same as that of Example 1. The specific process for preparing 1,3-propanediol in this example is as follows: 9.2 kg of deionized water is passed into the first intensifier-mass transfer unit of the hydration reactor, 2.0 kg of acrolein and 1.5 kg of N-alkyl amino acid catalyst are added, and the reaction is carried out at a pressure of 0.4 MPa (gauge pressure) and a temperature of 60°C for 2 h. The reacted material flows from the bottom to the top of the hydration reactor and flows into the rotating disc extraction column at the top for extraction separation. The separated water phase containing 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde flows from the bottom of the column into the hydrogenation reactor for hydrogenation reaction. The hydrogenation reaction is carried out at a pressure of 4 MPa (gauge pressure), a temperature of 80°C, and a space velocity of 1.5 h -1 After 1 h of reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde is 99.8% and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol is 99.8%.
[0088] Example 4
[0089] The specific process for preparing 1,3-propanediol in this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the third intensifier-mass transfer unit is arranged vertically above the second intensifier-mass transfer unit in this example, and the lower end outlet of the third intensifier-mass transfer unit is opposite to the upper end outlet of the fourth intensifier-mass transfer unit. In this example, after 1 h of reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde is 98.1% and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol is 98.3%.
[0090] Example 5
[0091] The specific process for preparing 1,3-propanediol in this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the outlet of the first circulation pipeline is at the same height as the outlet of the second circulation pipeline. In this example, after 1 h of reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde is 99.1% and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol is 99.2%.
[0092] Comparative Example 1
[0093] The specific process for preparing 1,3-propanediol in this example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the first intensifier-mass transfer unit is not arranged in the hydration reactor and the second intensifier-mass transfer unit is not arranged in the hydrogenation reactor in this example. After 1 h of hydrogenation reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde is 76.3% and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol is 87.4%.
[0094] Comparative Example 2
[0095] In this example, no first enhanced mass transfer unit is installed in the hydration reactor, and no second enhanced mass transfer unit is installed in the hydrogenation reactor. The specific process for preparing 1,3-propanediol in this example is as follows: 6.8 kg of deionized water is introduced into the hydration reactor, along with 1.5 kg of acrolein and 0.4 kg of N-alkyl amino acid catalyst. The reaction is carried out for 3 hours at a pressure of 0.2 MPa (gauge pressure) and a temperature of 55°C. The reacted material flows upwards in the hydration reactor and flows from the top into the extraction tower for extraction and separation. The separated aqueous phase containing 3-hydroxypropane flows from the bottom into the hydrogenation reactor for hydrogenation. The hydrogenation reaction is carried out at a pressure of 10 MPa (gauge pressure), a temperature of 110°C, and a space velocity of 1.5 h⁻¹. -1 After 1 hour of reaction, the conversion rate of 3-hydroxypropanal was 84.2%, and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol was 89.1%.
[0096] As can be seen from Examples 1-5, the system of this invention has a high raw material conversion rate in the preparation of 1,3-propanediol, and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol is good.
[0097] Comparing Examples 1 and 4, it can be seen that Example 1 is superior to Example 4 in both feed conversion rate and 1,3-propanediol selectivity. This may be because the outlets of the two enhanced mass transfer devices in Example 4 are opposite each other, creating a dead zone in the reaction liquid. Example 1, on the other hand, achieves agitation of the reaction liquid by staggering the outlets of the two enhanced mass transfer devices. Therefore, the catalyst and microbubble distribution in the reaction liquid in the hydrogenation reactor of Example 1 is more uniform, the reaction rate is faster, and both the feed conversion rate and 1,3-propanediol selectivity are better.
[0098] Comparing Examples 1 and 5, it can be seen that Example 1 is superior to Example 5 in both feed conversion rate and 1,3-propanediol selectivity. This may be because Example 1, by specifically adjusting the outlet positions of the two circulation pipelines, enhanced the agitation effect on the reaction liquid, resulting in better uniformity of catalyst and microbubble distribution in the hydrogenation reactor compared to Example 5, and a faster reaction rate. Consequently, Example 1 exhibits better feed conversion rate and 1,3-propanediol selectivity in the hydrogenation reaction.
[0099] Comparing Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the feed conversion rate and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol in Example 1 are both superior to those in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. This indicates that the present invention, by setting up an enhanced mass transfer unit, increases the phase boundary mass transfer area between feedstocks, increases the reaction rate, and thus improves the feed conversion rate and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol.
[0100] In summary, the system can increase the phase interface mass transfer area between raw materials in the hydration reaction and the hydrogenation reaction of propenal, and improve the raw material conversion rate and the selectivity of 1,3-propanediol by using the first enhanced mass transfer unit arranged in the hydration reactor and the second enhanced mass transfer unit arranged in the hydrogenation reactor.
