[0016] Example 1, by Figure 1 This invention provides a catalyst filtration device for an epichlorohydrin fluidized bed reaction system, comprising a fluidized bed reaction discharge pipeline 1, a filter 2, a filter element fixing plate 3, a filter flange 4, a filter upper end cap 5, a reaction gas phase discharge pipeline 6, a reaction liquid phase discharge pipeline 7, a filter element 8, a filter lower end cap 9, a catalyst feeding pipeline 10, a reaction liquid phase discharge regulating valve 11, a reaction gas phase discharge regulating valve 12, a nitrogen inlet pipeline 13, a nitrogen inlet regulating valve 14, a remote level gauge 15, a remote pressure gauge 16, a remote thermometer 17, a catalyst silo 18, a fluidized bed reactor 19, and a reactor heat exchanger 20. The reactor heat exchanger 20 is installed on the outside of the fluidized bed reactor 19. The top of the filter is connected to a fluidized bed reaction discharge line 1. One end of the fluidized bed reaction discharge line 1 is connected to a filter 2. The top of the filter 2 is equipped with a filter flange 4. The top of the filter flange 4 is equipped with a filter element fixing plate 3. The top of the filter element fixing plate 3 is equipped with a filter upper end cap 5 with a filter flange 4 at the bottom. The middle of the top of the filter upper end cap 5 is connected to a reaction gas phase discharge line 6. One side of the filter upper end cap 5 is connected to a reaction liquid phase discharge line 7. A filter element 8 is installed on the filter element fixing plate 3. The bottom of the filter 2 is equipped with a filter lower end cap 9. The bottom of the filter lower end cap 9 is connected to a catalyst feeding line 10. One side of the top of the filter upper end cap 5 is connected to a nitrogen inlet line 13.
[0017] A reaction liquid discharge regulating valve 11 is installed on the reaction liquid discharge pipeline 7 to facilitate the control of the reaction liquid discharge pipeline 7.
[0018] The catalyst feed line 10 is connected to a catalyst hopper 18 at its bottom end for easy connection and use.
[0019] A nitrogen inlet regulating valve 14 is installed on the nitrogen inlet pipeline 13, and a reaction gas phase discharge regulating valve 12 is installed on the reaction gas phase discharge pipeline 6, so as to facilitate the control and regulation of the nitrogen inlet pipeline 13 and the reaction gas phase discharge pipeline 6.
[0020] A remote level gauge 15 is installed on one side of the filter head 5, a remote thermometer 17 is installed on the other side of the filter head 5, and a remote pressure gauge 16 is installed on one side of the top of the filter head 5, which facilitates the remote transmission of liquid level, pressure and temperature.

[0022] Working Principle: In use, the mixture of reactants and catalyst in the fluidized bed reactor 19 enters the filter 2 through the fluidized bed reactor discharge pipeline 1. The liquid phase passes through the filter element 8 and then enters the filter upper end cap 5. The pore size of the filter element 8 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the catalyst. The filter upper end cap 5 is equipped with a remote level gauge 15, a remote pressure gauge 16, and a remote thermometer 17.

The temperature of the reaction liquid phase material is monitored by the remote thermometer 17. When the remote thermometer 17 of the filter shows too high, the fluidized bed reaction material is suspended, the hot water flow rate of the reactor heat exchanger 20 is increased, and the hot water temperature is reduced to cool the system.
[0023] Beneficial effects: This utility model has a novel structure and ingenious design. The device significantly reduces the volume of the liquid-solid separation device, to about 1 / 20 of the natural sedimentation volume, greatly reducing the residence time of the reaction mixture in a high-concentration catalyst environment and reducing side reactions. The filter element is made of PTFE material, which reduces the corrosion problems that may be caused by other materials in a water-containing organic environment, and prevents metal ions generated by corrosion from entering the catalyst channels, affecting the catalyst activity and service life.
