Description
Technical Field

[0002] Pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate is an important polymeric reactive flame retardant. Due to its excellent flame retardant properties, thermal stability, and good compatibility with polymer matrices, it is widely used in the flame retardant modification of materials such as polyolefins, polystyrene, engineering plastics, and synthetic rubber.
[0003] The synthesis process of pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate mainly includes: esterification of aluminum acrylate with pentabromobenzyl bromide to prepare pentabromobenzyl acrylate monomer, followed by polymerization of the pentabromobenzyl acrylate monomer in anhydrous isopropanol solution to obtain the target product, pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate.

[0017] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention provides an esterification apparatus for the production of pentabromobenzyl polyacrylate, comprising an esterification kettle, a stirring mechanism inside the kettle, and a stirring shaft connected to a stirring motor located at the top of the kettle. The stirring shaft has multiple layers of serrated stirring blades, with paddle-type stirring blades between each layer. A guide tube is connected to the outer side of each paddle-type stirring blade, and multiple fins are arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the guide tube. A reflux condenser is connected to the top of the esterification kettle, with its liquid outlet connected to the esterification kettle. The gas outlet of the reflux condenser is sequentially connected to a primary absorption tower and a secondary absorption tower. The gas outlet of the secondary absorption tower is connected to an exhaust stack via a first fan. This configuration not only increases the esterification efficiency but also effectively treats the exhaust gas during the esterification process.
[0019] The serrated stirring blades of this device provide strong shearing force, effectively breaking up viscous materials, preventing agglomeration, increasing the contact area of reactants, and accelerating the esterification reaction rate. The combined arrangement of the paddle-type stirring blades and the guide tube guides the materials in the reactor to form a strong axial circulation flow, ensuring uniform mixing throughout the reactor, eliminating dead zones, and avoiding localized overheating or incomplete reaction. The outer side of the guide tube is also equipped with fins and turbulence grooves, which disrupt the laminar boundary layer on the outer wall of the guide tube, generating eddies and turbulence, enhancing heat and mass exchange between the materials inside and outside the guide tube, and further improving mixing uniformity and heat transfer efficiency.
[0020] The spiral coil of this device is equipped with heat sinks on the outside, and the heat sinks are provided with turbulence holes. The heat sinks further increase the external heat dissipation area of the reflux condenser, and the turbulence holes can disrupt the laminar flow on the outer wall of the spiral coil, enhance the turbulence of air or ambient medium, significantly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the reflux condenser, ensure the condensation effect, and maintain a suitable reflux ratio.
[0021] The top of the primary and secondary absorption towers of this device are equipped with wire mesh demisters to effectively remove alkaline mist entrained in the absorbed gas, ensuring the cleanliness of the emitted gas.
[0022] The primary and secondary absorption tower structures of this device enable the recycling of alkali solution, reducing alkali consumption. The first pH sensor is interlocked with the first electric valve, and the second pH sensor is interlocked with the second electric valve to monitor the pH value of the solution in the first and second storage tanks in real time. When the pH value falls below the set value, the first or second electric valve automatically opens to replenish fresh alkali solution, maintaining stable absorption efficiency.
[0023] The outlet of the secondary absorption tower of this device is connected to the exhaust main pipe. The exhaust main pipe is connected to the discharge stack via an exhaust branch pipe. The exhaust main pipe is connected to the inlet of the primary absorption tower via a third circulation pipe and a second fan. An online pH meter is installed on the exhaust main pipe. A third electric valve and a fourth electric valve are respectively installed on the exhaust branch pipe and the third circulation pipe.
