Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vinyl methyl ether processing technology, specifically to a distillation kettle for vinyl methyl ether production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of vinyl methyl ether (VME), the mixing of acetylene and methanol constructs a homogeneous reaction system, allowing the carbon-carbon triple bonds of acetylene and the methoxy groups of methanol to bind directionally under the action of a catalyst. This provides suitable feedstock concentration ratios and reaction medium conditions for subsequent gas-phase catalytic reactions, ensuring sufficient contact between acetylene and methanol molecules to improve the formation efficiency and selectivity of the target product (vinyl methyl ether). Furthermore, the dilution effect of methanol reduces the explosion risk of acetylene and stabilizes the reaction temperature, preventing localized overheating and side reactions (such as acetylene self-polymerization or excessive cracking). Simultaneously, by adjusting the mixing ratio, reaction kinetic parameters are optimized, allowing the reaction to proceed efficiently within a controllable range. The resulting mixture also facilitates subsequent distillation and separation processes—unreacted methanol can be economically and efficiently recycled with VME through the difference in boiling points. Thus, while ensuring production safety, this process systematically improves feedstock conversion rate, product purity, and process economy.
[0003] A search revealed that CN209810155U discloses a synthesis apparatus for vinyl methyl ether, comprising a synthesis vessel and a distillation column. The synthesis vessel is equipped with a self-priming stirrer, a first inlet at its lower end, and a first outlet at its upper end. The first outlet is connected to the distillation column via a pipeline and enters the distillation column through a second inlet. The distillation column has a methanol outlet; unreacted methanol flows out from the methanol outlet and returns to the synthesis vessel via a methanol return port to participate in the reaction again. A distributor is installed at the bottom of the synthesis vessel to disperse the raw materials. This invention introduces acetylene and methanol into the synthesis vessel from the bottom. The self-priming stirrer increases the contact between the gas and liquid phases, shortens the reaction time, and the gas phase enters the distillation column to separate the product. The methanol then returns to the synthesis vessel to react with the acetylene, achieving a continuous reaction and increasing production capacity.
[0004] The aforementioned apparatus for synthesizing vinyl methyl ether relies solely on a self-priming stirrer for gas-liquid mixing, resulting in poor mixing uniformity and affecting reaction efficiency. Furthermore, the design employs a fixed feeder, which prevents pre-mixing of raw materials, leading to uneven reaction. Utility Model Content
