AI Technical Summary
During the production of epoxy succinic acid, epoxy succinic acid deposits on the inner wall of the reactor, forming dense solid agglomerates that affect product yield. Furthermore, maleic anhydride partially sublimates and condenses on the reactor wall, reducing raw material utilization.

The rotating scraper removes the deposits on the inner wall of the reactor, and the high-temperature gas circulation prevents maleic anhydride from condensing. The reaction temperature is controlled by a shell-and-tube constant temperature heat exchanger.
It effectively prevents the agglomeration of epoxy succinic acid on the inner wall of the reactor and the condensation of maleic anhydride, improves the conversion rate and utilization rate of raw materials, reduces the content of maleic anhydride in the product, and enhances the stability and quality of the product.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, especially relates to a reaction device of epoxy succinic acid. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) is an excellent circulating water scale inhibitor, which has good scale inhibition and dispersion performance for calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate and other salts in water, and is environment-friendly and degradable.
[0003] The mainstream method for producing polyepoxysuccinic acid in industry is to use maleic anhydride as raw material, react with hydrogen peroxide under the condition of a catalyst to generate epoxy succinic acid, and then catalyze ring-opening polymerization to generate polyepoxysuccinic acid. In the process of generating epoxy succinic acid, two problems occur: first, due to the self characteristics and water solubility of epoxy succinic acid, it will deposit on the inner wall of the reaction kettle with liquid phase, form dense solid clumps, which are hard to remove, and in the subsequent ring-opening polymerization reaction, the epoxy succinic acid deposited on the wall will not participate in the reaction, resulting in reduced product yield and increased reactor cleaning cost; second, maleic anhydride will partially sublimate and condense on the upper part of the reactor wall during the synthesis of epoxy succinic acid, which will reduce the effective utilization rate of the raw material maleic anhydride and pollute the subsequent ring-opening polymerization product.
[0004] In order to solve the problem of clumping on the inner wall of the reaction kettle, the patent CN218281682U designs a reaction kettle that avoids residual materials on the inner wall, which can effectively inhibit the clumping on the inner wall of the reaction kettle by scraping the wall with the stirring rod and the scraping piece to scrape the adhered raw materials and products on the inner wall. However, when this reaction kettle is used in the production of epoxy succinic acid, it is found that there are still thin layers of solid clumps on the inner wall of the reaction kettle below the liquid surface, and there is condensed maleic anhydride on the inner wall of the reaction kettle above the liquid surface, which cannot meet the conversion requirements of maleic anhydride. Therefore, the present application provides a reaction device for epoxy succinic acid, which can effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY
