Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the preparation of a polymer material, and more particularly to a DOTP continuous slurry mixing and esterification system, belonging to the technical field of polyester production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is an organic compound, a transparent oily liquid, insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents. In industrial applications, DOTP is a high-performance primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics. Compared to the commonly used diisooctyl phthalate (DOP), it has advantages such as heat resistance, cold resistance, low volatility, pull-out resistance, flexibility, and good electrical insulation properties. In finished products, it exhibits excellent durability, soap water resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. As a benchmark for environmentally friendly plasticizers, DOTP has become the preferred choice in high-end fields such as wire and cable, food packaging, and medical devices due to its excellent low-temperature resistance, low volatility, and regulatory compliance.
[0003] Currently, DOTP is mainly produced by reacting terephthalic acid and isooctanol under titanate catalysis, a reaction that is a liquid-solid heterogeneous system. Industrially, stirred tank reactors are commonly used for DOTP production, typically in a batch operation mode. This process suffers from slow reaction rates, low production efficiency, and high energy consumption.
[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN114768278A discloses an energy-efficient and high-performance continuous DOTP production device and its production process. It includes a feeding system, n-stage reactive distillation systems connected in series, and a reaction liquid post-treatment system, where n is an integer ≥3. Each stage of the reactive distillation system includes a stirred reactor with a reflux condenser system. The reflux condenser system includes a packed tower at the top of the stirred reactor, a primary condenser, a secondary condenser, an alcohol-water tank, and a reflux alcohol heater at the top of the packed tower. This device can operate in steady state. The reactive distillation system can stably produce isooctanol vapor with water, and the latent heat of vaporization of the isooctanol vapor is recovered through the primary condenser. The reflux condenser system achieves the heat reflux of most of the isooctanol through staged condensation, reducing the heat load required by the stirred reactor. It also prevents the rising vapor in the packed tower of the reactive distillation system from being cooled by the low-temperature reflux isooctanol and carrying moisture back to the stirred reactor, thus significantly reducing energy consumption.
[0005] This technical solution meets the requirements for continuous production of DOTP, but the following problems still exist:
[0006] 1. The number of reactors is relatively large, resulting in high initial investment costs;
[0007] 2. The feeding system relies on manual feeding, which does not fully meet the requirements of continuous production, and manual feeding limits the overall production capacity;
[0008] 3. The esterification steam is condensed and stored in the steam drum, and the waste heat of the esterification steam is not fully utilized;
[0009] 4. Each esterification reactor is equipped with a separate condensation reflux system, which is complex to control and not conducive to actual production operation. Utility Model Content

All pressures mentioned herein refer to absolute pressure.
[0034] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the DOTP continuous slurry esterification system of this utility model includes a PTA chain conveyor 3, a PTA silo 4, a PTA weighing device 5, a pulping tank 6, an esterification reactor 1 8, and an esterification reactor 2 9. The upper discharge port of the PTA chain conveyor 3 is connected to the inlet of the PTA silo 4 via a chute. The horizontal conveying section of the PTA chain conveyor 3 is equipped with a tank truck feeding port and a manual feeding port, which can perform both tank truck unloading and manual feeding functions, and can be applied to larger capacity units. When the powder tank truck 1 delivers material, it can be directly unloaded through the tank truck feeding port; when material is retrieved from the warehouse, it can be fed through the feeding hoist 2 to the manual feeding port, and both are conveyed into the large-capacity PTA silo 4 by the PTA chain conveyor 3.
[0037] The bottom discharge port of PTA silo 4 is connected to the inlet of PTA weighing device 5, which facilitates accurate measurement and stable discharge of PTA. The outlet of PTA weighing device 5 is connected to the powder inlet of pulping tank 6.
[0038] The outlet of the isooctanol feed pipe G2 is connected to the alcohol inlet of the pulping tank 6 through the isooctanol feed regulating valve V1 and the isooctanol flow meter Q1. The isooctanol feed rate is controlled by the isooctanol feed regulating valve V1 and the isooctanol flow meter Q1, and the isooctanol flow rate is interlocked with the PTA feed rate to achieve stable and continuous feeding. This allows for more precise control of the raw material molar ratio, which is more conducive to the smooth progress of the reaction and improves the quality and stability of the product.
[0039] A stirring shaft and stirring blades are installed along the axis of the pulping tank 6. The stirring blades mix and pulp the PTA powder and isooctanol in the pulping tank 6. The outlet of the pulping tank 6 is connected to the inlet of the slurry transfer pump 7, and the outlet of the slurry transfer pump 7 is connected to the top inlet of the esterification reactor 8. The outlet of the esterification catalyst tube G3 is also connected to the top inlet of the esterification reactor 8. The esterification reactor 8 is a vertical fully mixed reactor, equipped with controls for temperature, pressure, material level, and reflux ratio to ensure stable operation of the continuous reactor.
[0040] A stirring shaft and stirring blades are provided along the axis of the esterification reactor 8. A steam heating coil is provided in the lower part of the inner cavity of the esterification reactor 8. The inlet of the steam heating coil is connected to the steam pipe G9, and the outlet of the steam heating coil is connected to the condensate recovery pipe G10. The esterification reactor requires a large amount of heat. High-pressure steam and a regulating valve are used to control the reactor temperature to heat the slurry and provide the heat for the esterification reaction.
[0041] The overflow outlet of the esterification reactor 8 is connected to the esterification discharge pipe G5. The top of the esterification reactor 8 is also equipped with a nitrogen injection port connected to the nitrogen pipe G4, which facilitates the material to be squeezed out from the overflow outlet.
[0042] Under the indirect heating of steam and the action of titanium-based catalyst, PTA undergoes an esterification reaction with isooctanol. When the esterification rate reaches about 90%, it is discharged from the esterification discharge pipe G5.
[0043] The bottom outlet of the esterification reactor 8 is connected to the esterification discharge pipe G5 through an evacuation pipe and an injection valve V5, which facilitates the complete discharge of materials from the esterification reactor 8 under the action of nitrogen.
[0044] The discharge pipe G5 of esterification stage 1 is connected to the bottom inlet of esterification stage 2 reactor 9. Esterification stage 2 reactor 9 is horizontal and divided into four chambers, each equipped with a heating coil to ensure stable and uniform heating for each stage. The four chambers allow for a near-plug flow of the material, ensuring stable continuous reaction and a more uniform molecular weight distribution. This also reduces the number of reactors, lowers equipment investment costs, and improves land utilization. The discharge port of esterification stage 2 reactor 9 is connected to the subsequent stages via esterification stage 2 discharge pipe G7. The top of esterification stage 2 reactor 9 also has a catalyst inlet connected to esterification stage 2 catalyst pipe G6 for easy injection of titanium-based catalyst.
[0045] Each of the four chambers is equipped with a steam heating coil at its bottom. The inlet of each steam heating coil is connected to a steam pipe G9, and the outlet of each steam heating coil is connected to a condensate recovery pipe G10. The esterification reactor 9 is equipped with controls for temperature, material level, pressure, and reflux ratio to ensure stable operation of the device.
[0046] The process steam generated by the esterification reaction is pretreated through process tower 10. The gas phase outlets of esterification reactor 8 and esterification reactor 9 are connected to the lower inlet of process tower 10. The bottom outlet of process tower 10 is connected to the reflux isooctanol injection port of esterification reactor 8 through esterification reactor 1 top reflux regulating valve V2 and esterification reactor 1 top reflux flow meter Q2. The bottom outlet of process tower 10 is connected to the reflux isooctanol injection ports of each chamber in esterification reactor 9 through esterification reactor 2 top reflux regulating valve V3 and esterification reactor 2 top reflux flow meter Q3.
[0047] Esterification reactor 8 and esterification reactor 9 share a process tower 10. The process steam mainly consists of a mixture of isooctanol, water and a small amount of esterified products. The process tower 10 processes and separates the esterified products carried out by the process steam.
[0048] The isooctanol and esterified products at the bottom of the tower are then refluxed back to esterification reactor 8 and esterification reactor 9 via a differential flow. The reflux management of the esterification reactors is equipped with regulating valves and flow meters to control the reflux ratio, ensure the molar ratio in the reaction system, ensure the reaction rate, make the continuous reaction more stable, and reduce equipment investment.
[0049] The top exhaust port of the process tower 10 is connected to the process tower exhaust pipe G8. The outlet of the process tower exhaust pipe G8 is connected to the shell-side inlet of the top condenser 11. The shell-side outlet of the top condenser 11 is connected to the lower tube-side inlet of the tail gas condenser 13. The bottom tube-side outlet of the tail gas condenser 13 is connected to the inlet pipe of the top receiving tank 14. The upper tube-side outlet of the tail gas condenser 13 is connected to the tail gas treatment system 15 through the end exhaust regulating valve V7.
[0050] The condensate enters the shell side of the overhead condenser 11 for cooling, and the cooled condensate returns to the overhead receiving tank 14. Isooctol and water separate into layers within the overhead receiving tank 14; the upper isooctol is refluxed to the process column 10, and the bottom water is discharged to wastewater treatment via a regulating valve. A regulating valve is installed on the gas phase outlet line of the overhead condenser 11 to control the overhead pressure of the process column 10.
[0051] The shell-side inlets of the top condenser 11 and the tail gas condenser 13 are connected to the cooling water inlet pipe G11, and the shell-side inlets of the top condenser 11 and the tail gas condenser 13 are connected to the cooling water outlet pipe G12.
[0052] The top of the process tower 10 is also equipped with an isooctanol preheater 12. The outlet of the process tower exhaust pipe G8 is connected to the shell-side inlet of the isooctanol preheater 12 through the process tower exhaust regulating valve V6. The shell-side outlet of the isooctanol preheater 12 is also connected to the lower tube-side inlet of the tail gas condenser 13. The outlet of the fresh isooctanol pipe G1 is connected to the tube-side inlet of the isooctanol preheater 12, and the tube-side outlet of the isooctanol preheater 12 is connected to the isooctanol feed pipe G2. The fresh isooctanol exchanges heat with the process steam, which can condense the azeotrope and separate isooctanol from water, and heat the fresh isooctanol, utilizing waste heat and reducing energy consumption. The heated isooctanol is directly used for slurry preparation; this not only facilitates PTA mixing, but also allows the higher-temperature slurry to enter the esterification reactor 8, effectively reducing the heat load of the esterification reactor 8 and achieving high efficiency and energy saving.
[0053] The condensate outlets from the shell side of the top condenser 11 and isooctanol preheater 12 are connected to the inlet pipes of the top receiving tank 14. Each inlet pipe of the top receiving tank 14 extends to the lower part of the tank. The bottom outlet of the top receiving tank 14 is connected to the wastewater treatment station 16 via a drain regulating valve V8. The upper overflow port of the top receiving tank 14 is connected to the top reflux port of the process column 10 via an isooctanol reflux regulating valve V4 and an isooctanol reflux flow meter Q4.
[0054] The top receiving tank 14 is a vertical and slender type, which can effectively separate isooctanol and water in the top receiving tank 14. The upper isooctanol is refluxed to the process tower 10 to reduce the consumption of raw materials, and the bottom water is discharged to the wastewater treatment station 16 for treatment through the drain regulating valve V8.
[0055] The exhaust gas discharged from the shell side of the top condenser 11 and the isooctanol preheater 12 enters the tube side of the exhaust gas condenser 13 to further collect the isooctanol in the exhaust gas; this not only reduces the load of subsequent exhaust gas treatment, but also effectively reduces raw material loss, lowers costs, and improves the product's market competitiveness.
