[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application includes: a depolymerization tower body 10, a first reaction vessel 20, a second reaction vessel 30, and a condenser 40.
[0035] The depolymerization tower body 10 is equipped with a distillation chamber 11, which is used to separate the reaction products into gas and liquid phases. A first reaction vessel 20 is detachably connected to one end of the depolymerization tower body 10. The first reaction vessel 20 is used to react the raw materials and transport the products into the depolymerization tower body 10. A second reaction vessel 30 is used to replace the first reaction vessel 20 after the reaction in the first reaction vessel 20, and is detachably connected to one end of the depolymerization tower body 10. A condenser 40 is used to condense the gaseous products into liquid products.
[0036] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, by setting a first reaction vessel 20 and a second reaction vessel 30, connects the second reaction vessel 30 to the depolymerization tower body 10 when the first reaction vessel 20 finishes the reaction and needs cleaning and maintenance, thereby achieving seamless production and improving the production efficiency of the depolymerization tower 100.
[0037] Meanwhile, both the first reactor 20 and the second reactor 30 provided in this application are detachably connected to the depolymerization tower body 10, thereby facilitating the replacement of the first reactor 20 with the second reactor 30 in connection with the depolymerization tower body 10; furthermore, the detachable connection between the first reactor 20 and the depolymerization tower body 10 can compensate for the thermal expansion difference caused by the different inner wall temperatures between the first reactor 20 and the depolymerization tower body 10, thereby reducing the thermal stress between the first reactor 20 and the depolymerization tower body 10 and avoiding damage to the depolymerization tower body 10 or the first reactor 20.
[0038] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the first reaction vessel 20 is connected to one end of the depolymerization tower body 10 via a high-temperature resistant hose.
[0039] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application connects the depolymerization tower body 10 and the first reactor 20 by setting a high-temperature resistant hose, thereby preventing the high-temperature gaseous products generated in the first reactor 20 from damaging the connecting pipe. At the same time, the setting of the hose can reduce the stress on the pipe.
[0040] Preferably, the high-temperature resistant hose described in this application refers to a pipe that can operate at the working temperature of the depolymerization tower 100. In this embodiment, the high-temperature resistant hose is made of stainless steel and its maximum working temperature is greater than or equal to 320°C.
[0041] Optionally, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the high-temperature resistant hose is made of 316L stainless steel.
[0042] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the depolymerization tower body 10 is further provided with a gas phase depolymerization chamber 12, which is connected to the distillation chamber 11. The gas phase depolymerization chamber 12 is located below the distillation chamber 11 in the vertical direction and is used to react the gas phase products. The first reaction vessel 20 is detachably connected to the lower end of the depolymerization tower body 10.
[0043] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application features a gas-phase depolymerization chamber 12. Vertically, the gas-phase depolymerization chamber 12 is located below the distillation chamber 11 and is connected to it. A first reaction vessel 20 is detachably connected to the lower end of the depolymerization tower body 10. The first reaction vessel 20 transports the reaction products to the gas-phase depolymerization chamber 12. Since the reaction products in the first reaction vessel 20 are gaseous, and these gaseous products may contain unreacted gaseous raw materials, the gas-phase depolymerization chamber 12 allows for a second reaction, ensuring complete reaction of the raw materials and improving the reaction rate.
[0044] Meanwhile, the gas phase depolymerization chamber 12 is positioned vertically below the distillation chamber 11. The gas phase products generated after the reaction in the gas phase depolymerization chamber 12 do not require a drive pump to transport the gas phase products to the distillation chamber 11, thus saving costs.
[0045] Optionally, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the first reaction vessel 20 includes a vessel body 21 and a jacketed coil 22. The jacketed coil 22 is arranged around the vessel body 21, and a heat source is passed through the jacketed coil 22 to heat the vessel body 21.
[0046] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application heats the vessel body 21 by setting a jacketed coil 22, which surrounds the vessel body 21. The setting of the jacketed coil 22 can improve heat transfer efficiency, adapt to complex working conditions and save energy.
[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the first reaction vessel 20 further includes a base 23, the lower part of which is provided with casters 24 so that the base 23 can move, and the vessel body 21 is disposed on the base 23 and can move with the base 23.
[0048] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application is equipped with a movable base 23. After the first reactor 20 finishes its reaction and is disconnected from the depolymerization tower body 10, the first reactor 20 can be moved to the cleaning area by moving the base 23 to clean the first reactor 20, which is more convenient and faster.
[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the first reaction vessel 20 further includes a stirring assembly 25 and a driving assembly 26. The stirring assembly 25 is disposed inside the vessel body 21, and the driving assembly 26 drives the stirring assembly 25 to stir the reactants inside the vessel body 21.
[0050] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application accelerates the reaction process and improves production efficiency by setting up a stirring component 25 and a driving component 26 to stir the reaction raw materials.
[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, for example, the stirring assembly 25 can be a paddle, a turbine, or a magnetic stirrer, and the driving assembly 26 can be a motor or a magnet assembly, etc. This application does not limit this.
[0052] Optionally, the second reactor 30 may have the same structure as the first reactor 20, and the structure of the second reactor 30 will not be described in detail here.
[0053] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the condenser 40 includes a first condenser 41. The first condenser 41 is disposed inside the depolymerization tower body 10 and is located above the distillation chamber 11 in the vertical direction. The first reaction vessel 20 is detachably connected to the lower end of the depolymerization tower body 10.
[0054] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application saves space by setting the first condenser 41 inside the depolymerization tower body 10, compared to setting the first condenser 41 outside the depolymerization tower body 10. At the same time, by setting the first condenser 41 inside the depolymerization tower body 10, the coolant can quickly flow back into the depolymerization tower 100, which is beneficial for quickly condensing the gaseous products into liquid in the first condenser 41.
[0055] The first condenser 41 includes a housing portion 411 and a pipe portion 412. The pipe portion 412 has a channel for the movement of gaseous products. The housing portion 411 is arranged around the pipe portion, and coolant is circulated through the housing portion 411 to cool the gaseous products in the pipe portion 412.
[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the condenser 40 further includes a second condenser 42, which is located outside the depolymerization tower body 10 and is connected to the first condenser 41. The second condenser 42 is used to condense the product condensed by the first condenser 41 again, thereby ensuring that the gas phase product can be completely condensed.
[0057] Optionally, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the outlet of the first condenser 41 is connected to the inlet of the second condenser 42 via a pipe, and the outlet of the second condenser 42 is connected to the first storage tank 51 and the second storage tank 52 respectively.
[0058] Optionally, in the embodiments provided by the depolymerization tower 100 of this application, the depolymerization tower 100 further includes a first storage tank 51 and a second storage tank 52. The first storage tank 51 is used to store the product of the liquid phase whose purity does not meet the preset conditions, and the second storage tank 52 is used to store the product of the liquid phase whose purity meets the preset conditions.
[0059] The depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application is equipped with a first storage tank 51 and a second storage tank 52. The first storage tank 51 can transport the liquid phase product stored therein back to the first reaction vessel 20 or the second reaction vessel 30 to continue the reaction, thereby improving the purity of the product, preventing waste of raw materials, and saving costs.
[0060] Preferably, in one embodiment of the depolymerization tower 100 provided in this application, the first storage tank 51 includes a tank body 511 and a jacket 512 disposed outside the tank body 511 and surrounding the tank body 511. Coolant is circulated in the jacket 512 to cool the tank body 511, thereby maintaining the interior of the tank body 511 at a temperature suitable for storing the products.
[0061] The structure of the second storage tank 52 is the same as that of the first storage tank 51, and will not be described again in this application.
