Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxidation reactor technology, and in particular to an oxidation reactor for the production of sodium dichloroquinoline-8-quinolinecarboxylate. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium dichloroquinoline-8-quinolinecarboxylate is a quinoline acid hormone-type herbicide that is low in toxicity, highly effective, and highly selective. It is a highly effective selective herbicide for controlling barnyard grass in rice fields. It is mainly used to control barnyard grass and has a long applicable period, being effective from the 1 to 7 leaf stage. It is safe for rice and highly effective in killing barnyard grass. Currently, the industrialized production process of dichloroquinoline acid by nitric acid oxidation involves first preparing 7-chloro-8-methylquinoline from 3-chloro-2-methylaniline and glycerol, then reacting 7-chloro-8-methylquinoline with chlorine to generate 3,7-dichloro-8-methylquinoline chloride, and finally oxidizing the 3,7-dichloro-8-methylquinoline chloride in concentrated sulfuric acid with concentrated nitric acid to obtain sodium dichloroquinoline carboxylate. In the oxidation reaction stage: water and sulfuric acid are added to the oxidation reactor according to the metered amount, stirring is started, and the tail gas absorption system is activated. Then, the chloride is added to the oxidation reactor and the temperature is raised. When the temperature reaches 110℃, nitric acid is added dropwise. After 12 hours of dropwise addition, the temperature is raised to 115-125℃ and maintained at this temperature for 13 hours. After the holding period, the temperature is lowered while the gas is expelled. When the temperature drops to 50℃, the lower layer of material is placed into the precipitation reactor. In the above process, excessively high oxygen concentrations (>30%) or localized accumulation in the oxidation reactor can easily trigger flash explosions. Oxidation reactions are typically exothermic; excessively high oxygen concentrations in the reactor accelerate the reaction rate, generating more heat. When this heat cannot dissipate in time, the temperature inside the reactor rises sharply, further accelerating the reaction and creating a vicious cycle that may ultimately lead to a runaway reaction and flash explosion. Based on this, this invention proposes an oxidation reactor for the production of sodium dichloroquinoline-8-quinolinecarboxylate. By employing a stepped air intake distribution method, oxygen enters the reactor in layers and at multiple angles, avoiding the localized oxygen-rich zones caused by traditional single-hole air intake.

Several air outlets are provided on the pipe located at the slots. The air outlets are connected to an external air source through a vent pipe, which is located inside the pipe.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, an oxidation reactor for the production of sodium dichloroquinoline-8-quinolinecarboxylate includes an oxidation reactor 1, which is an enamel-lined oxidation reactor with a volume of 10,000 L. The outer wall of the oxidation reactor 1 has a jacket 2, within which a temperature regulating pipe 3 is installed. The inlet and outlet of the temperature regulating pipe 3 are connected to a high-temperature water pipe or a cooling water pipe, respectively. By inputting hot or cold water, the oxidation reactor 1 is heated and cooled to meet the temperature requirements during operation. A discharge port 4 is installed at the bottom of the oxidation reactor 1, and a top cover 5 is installed at the top. The upper end of the top cover 5 is equipped with a material inlet 6, several liquid inlet pipes 7, and a transmission box 10. Several mounting brackets 8 are circumferentially distributed on the outer wall of the oxidation reactor 1. These mounting brackets 8 are used to connect support components / suspension components to support the oxidation reactor 1.
[0024] A transmission device is installed inside the transmission box 10. A reduction motor 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission device, and a stirring device is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission device. The transmission device includes a bevel gear 12 fixedly connected to the reduction motor 9. The bevel gear 12 meshes with a bevel gear 13, and the bevel gear 13 meshes with a bevel gear 14. The bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the stirring device. The bevel gears 12 and 14 are bevel gears of the same structure, and in this embodiment, they are symmetrically arranged vertically. The bevel gear 13 meshes with both the bevel gear 12 and 14, thereby transmitting the transmission power from the bevel gear 12 to the bevel gear 14, which then drives the stirring device to perform the stirring operation.
[0025] The stirring device includes a stirring shaft 15, which is a hollow structure. A pipe 11 is rotatably mounted within the hollow structure. The upper end of the pipe 11 extends from the stirring shaft 15 to the outside of the transmission box 10. Specifically, the upper part of the pipe 11 is bent. After exiting the top of the stirring shaft 15, it bends 90° within the space formed by bevel gear 12, bevel gear 13, and bevel gear 14, and then extends to the outside of the transmission box 10 in a direction away from bevel gear 14, connecting to an oxygen supply source. Several slots 1501 are equidistantly spaced vertically on the side wall of the stirring shaft 15. The openings of the slots can be aligned or staggered, depending on the actual requirements. Several air outlets 21 are installed on the pipe 11 located at the slot 1501. These air outlets 21 are connected to an external air source via vent pipes 20. Each vent pipe 20 is equipped with a solenoid valve to control its opening and closing, thereby regulating the amount and rate of oxygen intake to meet precise control requirements. The vent pipes 20 are installed inside the pipe 11. Depending on the different air outlets 21 connected to the vent pipes 20, an appropriate length of vent pipe 20 is selected to achieve a tiered, stepped, and layered oxygen supply.
[0026] A stirring mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 15. The stirring mechanism includes several fasteners 16 sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 15. At the end of each fastener 16 away from the stirring shaft 15, stirring blades 18 are mounted via a connecting rod 17. The stirring blades 18 are arranged in a spiral pattern, generating axial and radial combined flow during rotation, forming spiraling upward or downward vortices, causing the material to circulate and convect within the vessel. This flow pattern effectively breaks up liquid stratification (especially for high-viscosity materials or gas-liquid mixtures), preventing the accumulation of reactants, oxygen, or heat in localized areas, and reducing safety risks caused by uneven concentrations (such as flash explosions due to excessively high oxygen concentrations).
[0027] The bottom of the stirring shaft 15 is equipped with bottom stirring blades 19 that are compatible with the bottom of the oxidation vessel 1, which reduces the stirring blind zone and is especially suitable for materials containing solid particles or easily precipitated materials, preventing local concentration abnormalities caused by solid deposition.
[0028] A rotary seal is installed between the inner wall of the stirring shaft 15 and the outer wall of the pipe 11 at the slot 1501 to prevent fluid leakage between the stirring shaft 15 and the pipe 11.
[0029] The length of the vent 21 is less than the wall thickness of the rotary seal, ensuring that the rotating shaft 15 rotates stably and does not block the oxygen input into the reactor. That is, when the rotating shaft 15 rotates to the side of the slot 1501 away from the vent 21, the oxygen comes out from the vent 21 and is discharged into one side of the slot 1501 through the cavity formed between the inner wall of the stirring shaft 15 and the outer wall of the pipe 11, and finally enters the reactor to participate in the reaction. Since the stirring shaft 15 rotates continuously, there will be no regional accumulation of oxygen.
[0030] A seal is installed between the vent 21 and the wall of the vent pipe 20 to prevent liquid from entering the pipe 11.
[0031] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] First, add water and sulfuric acid to oxidation reactor 1 according to the metered amount. Then, seal oxidation reactor 1 and, depending on the liquid level inside the reactor, open the vent valves 20 at different heights to introduce oxygen. Allowing oxygen to enter at different heights or positions promotes mixing and reduces local accumulation, which helps maintain the uniformity of oxygen concentration throughout the reactor and prevents oxygen concentration in certain areas from exceeding the safety threshold, thereby reducing the risk of flash explosion. Next, start the stirring device to ensure uniform mixing of materials and enhance mass transfer (gas dispersion) and heat transfer. Finally, introduce heat transfer oil, steam, or cooling water through the temperature control pipeline to control the temperature within the optimal reaction range and set the reaction time to achieve efficient conversion from raw materials to the target product.
[0033] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
