[0003] In chemical production, gas-liquid reaction is a common process. Most gas-liquid reactions are carried out in batch reactors, accompanied by stirring and jacketing to ensure sufficient reaction and meet heating or cooling requirements. However, some special reactions require specific reaction pressures, and stirring can reduce the reactor's sealing performance. Furthermore, stirring increases energy consumption.
[0004] In existing technologies, the use of ordinary ring distributors results in insufficient stirring, leading to incomplete reaction and reduced reaction efficiency.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The upper part of the vertical main pipe runs vertically through the inside of the reactor, and the top of the vertical main pipe is closed. The vertical main pipe is located inside the reactor and has a first air outlet.
[0015] Furthermore, the first air outlet is opened outward along the tangential direction of the outer wall of the vertical main pipe.
[0016] Furthermore, the first air outlet has multiple openings, among which the first air outlets on the same horizontal plane are in a single layer.
[0017] Furthermore, the first air outlet is configured with multiple layers.
[0018] Furthermore, the ring distributor includes:
[0019] A main air inlet pipe extends horizontally out of the outer wall of the reactor, with one end of the main air inlet pipe located inside the reactor and connected to the bottom end of a vertically installed vertical connecting pipe;

Detailed Implementation
[0038] This invention addresses the shortcomings of insufficient stirring and uneven reaction by using a novel reactor distributor, thereby improving reaction efficiency and reducing power consumption. Figure 1 As shown, the overall technical solution is as follows:
[0039] In reactor 1, a vertical distributor 2 and a ring distributor 3 are installed.
[0040] The annular distributor 3 is located on the central axis of the reactor 1. The annular distributor 3 includes a second air outlet 31 that opens upwards, which sprays air upwards during use.
[0041] The vertical distributor 2 is disposed between the annular distributor 3 and the inner wall of the reactor 1. The vertical distributor 2 includes a horizontally arranged first air outlet 21, which sprays air in the horizontal direction during use to form a vortex in the horizontal direction.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of vertical distributors 2 can be set to multiple as needed. When there are multiple vertical distributors 2, they are evenly distributed around the ring distributor 3.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the vertical distributor 2 includes a first air inlet flange 22 located below the bottom of the reactor 1, and a first bolt hole 23 is provided on the first air inlet flange 22. In use, the vertical distributor 2 is installed and connected to an external air supply device through the first air inlet flange 22 and the first bolt hole 23.
[0044] A vertical main pipe 24 is fixed above the first air inlet connection flange 22. The vertical main pipe 24 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the bottom that is fixedly connected to the first air inlet connection flange 22. It is vertically inserted into the reactor 1 and closed at the top.
[0045] The vertical main pipe 24 is located inside the reactor 1 and has a first gas outlet 21.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the first air outlet 21 is opened outward along the tangent direction of the outer wall of the vertical main pipe 24.
[0047] The first air outlet 21 has multiple outlets on the same horizontal plane.
[0048] The first air outlet 21 is one layer on the same horizontal plane, and multiple layers can be opened as needed.
[0049] The first air outlet 21 is square.
[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the annular distributor 3 includes an air inlet main pipe 35 extending out of the outer wall of the reactor 1. In use, the air inlet main pipe 35 is connected to an external air supply device to supply air to the annular distributor 3.
[0051] The main air inlet pipe 35 is located at one end inside the reactor 1 and is connected to the bottom end of the vertically connected pipe 36, which is set vertically upward.
[0052] A distribution ring 34 is horizontally arranged outside the vertical connecting pipe 36, and the distribution ring 34 is connected to the vertical connecting pipe 36 through a horizontally arranged horizontal connecting pipe 37.
[0053] The horizontal connecting pipe 37 can be set in multiple ways as needed, and when multiple are set, they are evenly distributed between the vertical connecting pipe 36 and the distribution ring 34.
[0054] The distribution ring 34 can be configured as a multi-layer structure as needed.
[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the main air inlet pipe 35 is located at one end outside the reactor 1, and a second air inlet connecting flange 32 is fixedly provided. The second air inlet connecting flange 32 is provided with a second bolt hole 33.

[0057] The second air outlet 31 is circular.
[0058] Example:
[0059] This invention simultaneously installs a vertical distributor 2 and a ring distributor 3 inside the reactor 1. The two distributors are used in combination to achieve uniform distribution and thorough mixing.
[0060] The vertical distributor 2 is uniformly provided with square air outlets 21 (multiple vertical layers, and multiple air outlets set along the air inlet pipe in the horizontal direction). The air outlets are square and have a large area. Under pressure, they form a tangential force, which can drive the liquid phase to rotate and achieve the purpose of thorough stirring.
[0061] The annular distributor 3 has two layers of distribution rings 34, each with a circular vent 31 at its top. Under the pressure of the gas phase, an upward force is generated, driving the liquid upward and increasing the thoroughness of mixing. The two layers of distribution rings 34 are vertically aligned. Both layers of distribution rings 34 are connected to a vertical connecting pipe 33 by three horizontal connecting pipes 32. One end of each of the three horizontal connecting pipes 32 intersects and connects to the vertical connecting pipe 33, while the other end connects to the distribution ring 34.
[0062] In addition, the number of vertical distributors 2 can be increased or decreased depending on the viscosity and flowability of the liquid phase in reactor 1.
[0063] The number of layers of the annular distributor 34 can be increased or decreased according to the viscosity and flowability of the liquid phase in the reactor 1.
[0064] In addition to solid-liquid reactions, reactor 1 can also be used for liquid-liquid reactions.
[0065] This invention provides a novel reactor concept and method for achieving efficient feed distribution.
