Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cascade reactors, specifically a cascade reactor with stirring. Background Technology

[0002] A reactor is a device used to realize a reaction process. It is widely used in chemical, oil refining, and metallurgical fields. Reactors are used to realize single-phase liquid reaction processes and multiphase reaction processes such as liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid-solid.

[0003] Traditional chemical manufacturing and research are mostly carried out using batch reactors and continuous reactors. Batch reactors have advantages such as simple operation, good equipment versatility, low maintenance and failure rate, and the ability to handle longer reaction times. Continuous reactors are mainly represented by tubular, plate plug flow reactors and continuous stirred reactors. Plate plug flow reactors provide good heat or mass transfer, but it is difficult to handle materials containing solids. Continuous stirred reactors are stirred tanks with continuous feeding and emptying, which are easy to scale up, can handle materials containing solids, and can also provide a longer residence time.

[0004] However, for batch reactors, small batch reactors have low production efficiency, while large batch reactors have long mixing times and variable product quality. Continuous stirred reactors have a wide retention time distribution, and the retention time can be well controlled by connecting several continuous stirrers in series. Common continuous stirred reactors have material inlet and outlet, can be stirred, and can be connected in multiple stages through pumps and other transmission equipment. This method is difficult to implement in actual production and laboratory. Too many devices lead to high costs and large on-site volume. Therefore, a cascade reactor with stirring is proposed.

[0009] Preferably, both the first and second partitions are provided with a flow guide for connecting adjacent cylinders, and the flow guide is located on one side of the agitator.

[0010] Preferably, both the first and second partitions have a feeding port fixedly connected to their side walls. One end of the feeding port on the first partition is connected to the upper end of the first partition, and the other end is located outside the cylinder.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] A stirred cascade reactor, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the reactor includes a cylindrical body 1. The height-to-diameter ratio of the reaction chamber inside the cylindrical body 1 is 0.4-3.0, preferably 1.3-2.0. Multiple sets of cylindrical bodies 1 are provided, each set having flanges 5 fixed to both ends. Adjacent cylindrical bodies 1 are sealed together via flanges 5. The uppermost cylindrical body 1 has an upper cover plate 3 fixedly connected to its upper end via flange 5, and the lowermost cylindrical body 1 has a lower cover plate 2 fixedly connected to its bottom via flange 5. The upper cover plate 3, the lower cover plate 2, and the multiple sets of cylindrical bodies 1 constitute the external body of the cascaded reactor. Partition 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of each body 1. Partition 2 17 is installed between adjacent bodies 1 in a sealed snap-fit ​​manner. Partition 10 and Partition 2 17 have the same structure but different installation positions. Adjacent bodies 1 are connected through Partition 10 or Partition 2 17. A stirring shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate 3. The stirring shaft 6 passes through Partition 10 and Partition 2 17. Multiple sets of stirring paddles 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the stirring shaft 6. A discharge port 8 is fixedly connected to the upper cover plate 3. A feed port 9 for product outflow is fixedly connected to the lower cover plate 2.

[0025] The cascade reactor body is formed by assembling multiple sets of cylinders 1. The multiple sets of cylinders 1 are easy to disassemble and assemble. The number of cylinders 1 can be increased or decreased as needed. The inside of cylinder 1 is the reaction chamber. Materials are added and products are discharged into the reaction chamber through the discharge port 8 and the inlet port 9. The inside is separated by baffles. The materials between the reaction chambers overflow through the baffles. There are no pipe connections, resulting in high mixing production efficiency. At the same time, a stirring shaft 6 drives multiple sets of stirring paddles 7 to stir the inside of the reaction chamber. Only one stirring device is needed.

[0027] The interior of the cylinder 1 is divided into two regions by a partition 10 or a partition 17. Multiple cylinders 1 are divided into multiple regions, and each set of stirring paddles 7 is located inside multiple regions, so that each region is stirred and the stirring efficiency is high. The material enters through the feed inlet 9, is stirred, and passes through the partition and is discharged from the discharge outlet 8.

[0029] The guide port 11 facilitates the flow of materials. The reaction chambers between multiple sets of cylinders 1 are connected through the guide port 11, so that the reacted materials can pass through the guide port 11, through the partition 10 or the partition 17, and reach the discharge port 8.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, both the first partition 10 and the second partition 17 have a feeding port 12 fixedly connected to their side walls.

[0033] The second partition 17 is sealed and installed through the slot 16 between the two sets of cylinders 1. When the cylinders 1 are disassembled and assembled, the second partition 17 can be disassembled and assembled. The number of the second partition 17 changes with the number of cylinders 1.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, multiple sets of cylinder 1 are fitted with jackets 4 on their side walls. The side wall of the uppermost jacket 4 is connected to and fixedly connected to an outlet 13, and the side wall of the lowermost jacket 4 is connected to and fixedly connected to an inlet 14. Adjacent jackets 4 are connected to each other via connecting pipes 15.

[0035] The jacket 4 heats the reaction chamber inside the cylinder 1. The jacket 4 is equipped with an inlet 14 and an outlet 13, which can be connected to the adjacent jacket 4 as needed to achieve temperature control.

[0036] The working principle of the cascade reactor with stirring provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] The cascade reactor body is formed by assembling multiple sets of cylinders 1. The multiple sets of cylinders 1 are easy to disassemble and assemble. The number of cylinders 1 can be increased or decreased as needed. The inside of cylinder 1 is the reaction chamber. Materials are added and products are discharged into the reaction chamber through the discharge port 8 and the inlet port 9. The inside is separated by baffles.

At the same time, a stirring shaft 6 drives multiple sets of stirring paddles 7 to stir the inside of the reaction chamber. Only one stirring device is needed. The equipment is small in size, easy to maintain, and low in cost. This equipment integrates the reaction chambers of several cylinders 1 into one device.
