TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the polyvinyl alcohol production field, concretely relates to a PVA alcoholysis system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an important water-soluble synthetic polymer, widely used in many fields, polyvinyl alcohol is obtained by ester exchange reaction of polyvinyl acetate and methanol at a certain temperature with sodium hydroxide as catalyst, accompanied by side reaction, the reaction equation is as follows:
[0003] 1. ester exchange reaction (alcoholysis reaction):
[0004] ;
[0005] 2. saponification reaction:
[0006] ;
[0007] 3. side reaction:
[0008] .
[0009] The alcoholysis machine provides a reaction place for the above reaction, the alcoholysis machine includes a shell, a belt and a variable frequency speed regulation mechanism, the shell is a jacketed design, warm water flows in the jacket, the reaction is an exothermic reaction, the jacket adjusts the temperature in the alcoholysis machine to the required temperature for the reaction, the belt is arranged in the interior of the shell, the belt is provided with a concave surface, the concave surface is used for carrying the reactants, the reactants are reacted to produce polyvinyl alcohol at the concave surface of the belt, the belt is made of polypropylene or rubber material, the variable frequency speed regulation mechanism is used for adjusting the rotating speed of the belt, controlling the reaction time, and producing PVA with different alcoholysis degrees.
[0010] After the polyvinyl acetate methanol solution and the alkali methanol solution enter the alcoholysis machine, the reaction is carried out along with the forward movement of the belt, finally the blocky polyvinyl alcohol is generated at the end of the belt, and is transported to the pulverizer through the material outlet of the alcoholysis machine for crushing, then after dehydration by the dehydrator and drying by the drying machine, the finished product PVA is obtained, which is used in the fields of PVB (polyvinyl butyral), water-soluble fiber, various glues and the like, the tail gas (mainly methanol and methyl acetate) generated in the reaction is condensed and transported to the recovery process with the waste liquid (mainly methanol and methyl acetate) generated in the reaction for separation, hydrolysis, rectification, purification to obtain recovered methanol and recovered acetic acid for production and recycling.
[0011] Defects of prior art:
[0012] 1. The feed operation is complicated and has safety risks: because the polyvinyl acetate methanol solution and the lye are in a liquid flow state as soon as they enter the alcoholysis machine, the initial feed needs to be blocked by the alcoholysis machine blocking plate to make the liquid react to form a block-shaped PVA, which is convenient for entering the crushing device. Because the blocking plate used in the alcoholysis machine at present is an iron blocking plate and iron block, firstly, the use of the alcoholysis machine belt (the material is smooth polypropylene or rubber material) is easy to scratch, not only shortens the service life of the alcoholysis machine, but also is easy to stick after scratching; secondly, the operation is not convenient, and the iron blocking plate and iron block need to be manually operated and put into the head of the alcoholysis machine before feeding, and then manually operated and taken out from the tail of the alcoholysis machine after the material is reacted and formed, but because the blocking plate and iron block are heavy, and there is PVA adhesion, it is difficult to take out, and if it cannot be taken out in time, it will cause the machine to stop, and if the blocking plate enters the pulverizer and collides with the pulverizer blade by accident, a major safety accident will occur; thirdly, because the methanol content in the alcoholysis machine is high, if the operation is not proper during the process of taking out the blocking plate, a fire or explosion accident (similar accidents in the industry) will occur; fourthly, the two sides of the alcoholysis machine inlet are smooth curved surfaces, and if the sealing is not strict, material leakage will occur, and after the material leakage, the formed PVA is too thin to enter the pulverizer for crushing, causing the machine to stop;
[0013] 2. The service life of the alcoholysis machine belt is short: the alcoholysis machine belt used in the industry at present has two materials, one is polypropylene and the other is rubber material, no matter which material will have a phenomenon of sticking material, the material stuck on the belt will change a lot in quality due to overreaction for a long time, and finally will be brought into the product (industry called white point material). The material stuck on the belt not only affects the product quality, but also damages the belt when it falls off; if it is not found or the belt is not replaced in time, it will cause material leakage and equipment damage accident, and if not handled properly, even a fire or explosion accident will occur;
[0014] 3. As we all know, the reaction temperature is one of the important factors of chemical reaction, and the accuracy and stability of the temperature directly affect the reaction degree and the final result, the alcoholysis reaction is an exothermic reaction, and there are two aspects to control the reaction temperature in the industry at present, one is to control the feed temperature (the temperature of polyvinyl acetate methanol solution and alkali methanol solution before contact and mixing), and the other is to control the alcoholysis machine temperature. The feed temperature can be basically stable because of the heat exchanger and pipeline insulation facilities, but once the two raw materials (polyvinyl acetate methanol solution and alkali methanol solution) come into contact, the reaction will start and heat will be released, and according to the change of raw material concentration and flow, the reaction temperature will change, the method for measuring the alcoholysis machine temperature in the industry at present is to detect the space temperature above the belt alcoholysis machine box, but such detection cannot accurately measure the temperature of the material on the belt, so the process (feed temperature, alkali ratio, etc.) cannot be adjusted in time, resulting in wide distribution of the final product alcoholysis degree and unstable quality.

It is essentially a computer dedicated to industrial control, with a hardware structure basically the same as a microcomputer, generally used for data processing and receiving and outputting instructions, for central control. Embodiment
[0066] A control process of a PVA alcoholysis system includes:
[0067] (1) The controller 6 interlocks the starting of the electric hoist 202 and controls the electric hoist 202 to move above the hand hole 107 of the first row of alcoholysis machines 1, opens the discharge valve 205, and adds the PVA particles in the feeding hopper 203 to the concave surface of the belt 101, while controlling the electric hoist 202 to move to and fro above the concave surface of the belt 101 of the first row of alcoholysis machines 1, and the PVA particles are piled into a baffle with a triangular pyramid cross section, the length of the baffle is 120 cm, the width is 10 cm, and the height is 15 cm. In order to prevent the reaction liquid from leaking during the start of the reaction, the relative position of the belt 101 and the feeding hopper 203 can also be adjusted by controlling the rotation time and direction of the driving roller 103 according to the alcoholysis degree variety characteristics of the PVA product, setting two or more baffles on the concave surface of the belt 101, or constructing the baffle into an arc shape, that is, the baffle facing the forward direction of the belt 101 is convex, and the baffles on both sides are concave, so as to better adapt to the blocking effect of the reaction liquid added to the concave surface of the belt 101, or in order to better construct the baffle, the PVA sheet material is first added through the feeding hopper 203 to form a baffle base layer on the concave surface of the belt 101, and then the PVA particles are added, or the PVA sheet material and particles are added at the same time, so as to form a firm baffle; the opening time of the discharge valve 205 is set to control the height of the baffle, and then the discharge valve 205 is closed, the alcoholysis machine 1 and the first control valve 301 are opened, and the belt 101 is operated, while the reactant is transported to the concave surface of the belt 101. The baffle formed by the PVA sheet material and particles blocks the reaction liquid, preventing the reaction liquid from leaking, and the reaction liquid can also penetrate between the PVA particles and gradually integrate with them. Since the reaction liquid eventually forms PVA after the alcoholysis reaction, not only can the baffle be reinforced to form a baffle wall, but also the quality of the PVA product after the alcoholysis reaction will not be affected. In order to fully utilize the synergistic blocking effect of the reaction liquid and the baffle formed by the PVA sheet material and particles, the reaction liquid can be poured on the baffle when the baffle is constructed, so that the PVA particles and sheet material quickly integrate. As the belt 101 runs, the reactant undergoes an alcoholysis reaction, from liquid to gel to solid, and when it reaches the end of the belt 101, it has formed a block of PVA and has become one with the baffle. The baffle, together with the block of PVA, directly enters the pulverizer 10 from the discharge port at the tail end of the first row of alcoholysis machines 1 without the need to be removed, saving manpower and ensuring safety.
[0068] (2) At the same time that the discharge valve 205 is closed, the electric hoist 202 moves above the hand hole 107 of the second row of alcoholysis machines, and step (1) is repeated to construct the baffle in the second row of alcoholysis machines. When the baffles of all the alcoholysis machines are prepared, the electric hoist 202 returns to the original position.
[0069] (3) The controller 6 sets the opening time of the electromagnetic valve 406 and the air source switch 408 to be later than the opening time of the alcoholysis machine 1. When the blocking plate passes through the hot resistance core rod 405, the controller 6 controls the electromagnetic valve 406 and the air source switch 408, and the gas enters the cylinder 4041, pushing the telescopic rod 4042, which drives the bottom end of the hot resistance core rod 405 and the fin 4051 to insert into the reactant. The reaction temperature of the reactant is measured and the temperature information is sent to the controller 6. The reactant pushes the hot resistance core rod 405, the air cylinder 404 and the trolley 403 to move upwards along the track 401. When the trolley 403 touches the high-limit stopper 4021, the high-limit stopper 4021 sends information to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the electromagnetic valve 406 and the air source switch 408, and the gas is discharged from the cylinder 4041. The telescopic rod 4042 retracts, the hot resistance core rod 405 rises, and the trolley 403 moves to the initial position under the action of its own gravity and touches the low-limit stopper 4022. The controller 6 records the time when the trolley 403 touches the low-limit stopper 4022. After a set interval of time, the controller 6 controls the electromagnetic valve 406 and the air source switch 408 again, and the gas enters the cylinder 4041 to perform a cycle. The temperature of the reactant is measured for the second time. The controller 6 controls the heating power of the warm water tank 8 and the opening degree of the warm water valve 9 through the monitored temperature of the reactant, so as to adjust the temperature of the warm water entering the jacket of the box body 102. The operator adjusts the process such as alkali ratio and feed temperature in a timely manner according to the monitored temperature of the reactant.
[0070] (4) The controller 6 controls the opening of the liquid pump 504 and the adjusting valve 505. The flushing liquid is pressurized by the liquid pump 504 and then delivered to the spray head 501. The front end, middle and rear end of the belt 101 are flushed respectively. The flushing liquid and the reaction waste liquid are collected by the liquid collecting cover and then delivered to the waste liquid collection tank through the liquid outlet pipe. The flowmeter 506 transmits the monitored flushing liquid flow information to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the opening degree of the adjusting valve 505 to adjust the addition amount of the flushing liquid. In the early stage of use of the belt 101, the addition amount is controlled to be 300 L / h, and in the later stage, the addition amount is controlled to be 1000 L / h.
