[0021] This invention features a reactor with a ring-shaped array of ultraviolet lamps and inclined reflective strips between adjacent lamps. It also includes a chlorine gas inlet distribution assembly and a vortex stirring assembly. In use, chlorotoluene enters the reactor through the inlet, while chlorine gas enters the gas distributor through the chlorine inlet pipe and is evenly distributed throughout the reactor. As the ultraviolet lamps pass through the reflective strips, the ultraviolet light source evenly illuminates the reactor, causing the chlorotoluene to undergo a photochlorination reaction. Simultaneously, the stirring motor drives the transmission rod, stirring blades, and vortex ring frame to rotate. The vortex ring frame creates a vortex effect on the chlorotoluene at the bottom of the reactor, causing the chlorotoluene to rotate and, through the stirring blades, generate shear force, ensuring thorough mixing and participation in the photochlorination reaction. The arc-shaped stirring blades, during rotation, allow the chlorotoluene to flow and stir from the center outwards within the reactor, further maximizing contact between the chlorotoluene and the ultraviolet light source and improving the efficiency of the photochlorination reaction.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 The chlorotoluene chlorination reactor based on photochlorination provided by this utility model includes:
[0031] The vessel body 1 has a cover 2 on it. The upper end of the vessel body 1 has a feed inlet 8 and a reflux and gas phase inlet 9. The bottom of the vessel body 1 has a discharge outlet 10.
[0032] The ultraviolet lamps 3 are arranged in a ring array between the vessel body 1 and the quartz protective cover 4. The inner side wall of the vessel body 1 is provided with an annular groove 101. The ultraviolet lamps 3 are arranged in a ring array within the annular groove 101. The quartz protective cover 4 is sealed on the annular groove 101 to seal and isolate the vessel body 1 and the ultraviolet lamps 3, preventing the ultraviolet lamps 3 from directly contacting the reaction liquid and ensuring the normal use of the ultraviolet lamps 3. Reflective strips 7 are provided between adjacent ultraviolet lamps 3 within the annular groove 101. The reflective strips 7 are reflective strips that are inclined on both sides.
[0033] The chlorine gas inlet distribution assembly 5 is located at the bottom of the vessel body 1. The chlorine gas inlet distribution assembly 5 includes a chlorine gas inlet pipe 501 and a gas distributor 502. The chlorine gas inlet pipe 501 is located at the bottom of the vessel body 1 and extends into the vessel body 1. The gas distributor 502 is located at the upper end of the chlorine gas inlet pipe 501.
[0034] The vortex stirring assembly 6 is installed inside the vessel body 1. The vortex stirring assembly 6 includes a stirring motor 601, a transmission rod 602, stirring blades 603, and a vortex ring frame 604. The stirring motor 601 is located at the upper end of the vessel body 1. The transmission rod 602 is connected to the output end of the stirring motor 601 and extends into the bottom of the vessel body 1. Several sets of stirring blades 603 are provided, and the several sets of stirring blades 603 are distributed at equal intervals on the transmission rod 602. The vortex ring frame 604 is located at the bottom of the transmission rod 602. The stirring blades 603 are arc-shaped blades.
[0035] This invention features a ring-shaped array of ultraviolet lamps 3 inside the vessel body 1, with inclined reflective strips 7 between adjacent ultraviolet lamps 3. It also includes a chlorine gas inlet distribution assembly 5 and a vortex stirring assembly 6. In use, chlorotoluene material enters the vessel body 1 through the feed inlet 8, and chlorine gas enters the gas distributor 502 through the chlorine gas inlet pipe 501, where it is evenly distributed into the vessel body 1. When the ultraviolet lamps 3 pass through the reflective strips 7, the ultraviolet light source evenly irradiates the vessel body 1, causing the chlorotoluene material to undergo a photochlorination reaction. At this time, the stirring motor 601 drives the transmission... The moving rod 602, stirring blade 603, and vortex ring frame 604 rotate. The vortex ring frame 604 forms a vortex effect on the chlorotoluene material at the bottom of the reactor body 1, causing the chlorotoluene material to rotate in a vortex. The stirring blade 603 generates a shearing force, which ensures that the chlorotoluene material is fully mixed and participates in the photochlorination reaction. The stirring blade 603 is an arc-shaped blade. During rotation, the arc-shaped stirring blade 603 can make the chlorotoluene material flow and stir from the center to the periphery in the reactor body 1, further ensuring that the chlorotoluene material comes into full contact with the ultraviolet light source and improving the efficiency of the photochlorination reaction.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the annular groove 101 penetrates the upper end of the vessel body 1. Only the cover 2 needs to be removed to maintain and replace the ultraviolet lamp 3, which facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the ultraviolet lamp 3.
[0037] In summary, the method of using the photochlorination-based chlorotoluene chlorination reactor provided in this embodiment is as follows: During use, chlorotoluene material enters the reactor body 1 through the feed inlet 8, and chlorine gas enters the gas distributor 502 through the chlorine gas inlet pipe 501. The gas is evenly distributed into the reactor body 1 through the gas distributor 502. When the ultraviolet lamp 3 passes through the reflector strip 7, the ultraviolet light source evenly irradiates the reactor body 1, causing the chlorotoluene material to undergo a photochlorination reaction. At this time, the stirring motor 601 drives the transmission rod 602, stirring blades 603, and vortex ring frame 604 to rotate. The vortex ring frame 604 forms a vortex effect on the chlorotoluene material at the bottom of the reactor body 1, causing the chlorotoluene material to rotate in a vortex. The stirring blades 603 also generate a shearing force, ensuring that the chlorotoluene material is fully mixed and stirred, and fully participates in the photochlorination reaction. Furthermore, the stirring blades 603 are arc-shaped blades. During rotation, the arc-shaped stirring blades 603 can cause the chlorotoluene material to be mixed and stirred from the center to the periphery in the reactor body 1, further ensuring that the chlorotoluene material is in full contact with the ultraviolet light source and improving the efficiency of the photochlorination reaction.
