Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, and in particular to a liquid MOCA production device. Background Technology
[0002] Diamine or polyamine curing agents or chain extenders are widely used in production and daily life. 3,3′-dichloro-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (MOCA) is one of the most widely used aromatic diamine chain extenders. It is widely used in the machinery industry, automobile and aircraft manufacturing, mining industry and sports facilities (such as plastic running tracks and plastic flooring) and various light industrial manufacturing. It can also be used as a crosslinking agent for polyurethane coatings and adhesives, a curing agent for epoxy resins, and to produce products with high electrical resistance.
[0003] Existing 3,3′-dichloro-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane products generally have melting points between 98℃ and 112℃. They require melting before use, followed by holding at that temperature until stable, and then mixing with other materials. In applications such as coatings and waterproofing materials where hardness and elasticity are not critical, and in long-term construction processes, repeated melting or prolonged holding wastes significant energy. Furthermore, high-concentration mixtures require maintaining high temperatures to prevent crystallization, but prolonged high temperatures negatively impact material properties and appearance, leading to inconvenience. Therefore, there is market demand for MOCA products that are liquid at room temperature or have low melting points, but no publicly disclosed production facilities for such products have been found. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a liquid MOCA production device that overcomes the defects of the prior art, can produce liquid MOCA, and has a simple production process, a high degree of automation, is safe and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for industrial production.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A liquid MOCA production apparatus includes a mixing tank, a microreactor, a pipeline reactor, a continuous neutralization device, a continuous washing device, a temporary storage tank, a first filter, a second filter, a dehydrator, and a mixing vessel connected sequentially via pipelines and metering pumps (the outlet of the preceding device is connected to the inlet of the following device); the inlet of the mixing tank is connected to a dilute hydrochloric acid tank and an OCA (o-chloroaniline) tank via pipelines and metering pumps respectively, the outlet of the mixing tank is connected to the inlet of the microreactor, and the inlet of the microreactor is also connected to the outlet of the formaldehyde tank via pipelines and metering pumps; a sight glass monitor is also installed on the connecting pipeline between the first filter and the second filter; the inlet of the second filter is also connected to the outlet of the auxiliary material tank via a metering pump;

[0010] Preferably, the microreactor is a microchannel tubular reactor.
[0011] Preferably, the tubular reactor is a static mixing type tubular reactor. The tubular reactor has several U-shaped bends, which allow for segmented temperature control.
[0012] Preferably, both the continuous neutralization device and the continuous washing device are centrifugal extractors. The continuous neutralization device and the washing device are configured the same, except that the connection direction during discharge is different. During neutralization, the material outlet is the outlet for the light components, and during washing, the material outlet is the outlet for the heavy components.
[0013] Preferably, the first filter is a pipeline filter cartridge; the second filter is a precision sintered filter; and the sight glass monitor includes a high-transparency lens and a vision sensor controller.

[0016] Preferably, the DCS automatic control system is a UW500a distributed control system.
[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This invention first mixes a fixed amount of dilute hydrochloric acid and OCA raw materials in a mixing tank, and then, together with formaldehyde, enters a microreactor via a metering pump for continuous condensation. After the reaction in the microreactor, the mixture is transferred to a continuous pipeline reactor for staged temperature-controlled reaction. Then, it enters a continuous neutralization device for neutralization treatment, and then enters a continuous water washing device for washing. The washed material is temporarily stored, and then after a first filtration, auxiliary materials are added. After a second filtration and dehydration process, and after being uniformly stirred by the external circulation of the mixing tank, a liquid MOCA product can be prepared.
[0019] In summary, this invention can produce liquid MOCA, and the production process is simple, highly automated, safe and environmentally friendly, making it suitable for industrial production. Attached Figure Description
