Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of heterogeneous reaction technology in microreactors, and in particular to a system for realizing nanoscale heterogeneous catalysis in microreactors using a sand milling device. Background Technology
[0002] Microreactor technology is an important branch of process intensification, characterized by the use of reaction devices with microchannel dimensions (typically on the micrometer to sub-millimeter scale). This unique structural design endows microreactors with a series of significant advantages, demonstrating great potential in fields such as chemical synthesis, new material development, and energy conversion. Their high-efficiency heat and mass transfer performance, precise process control, improved inherent safety of reactions, ability to achieve process intensification and continuous production, and ease of scale-up have enabled microreactors to be successfully applied in various fields, including homogeneous catalytic reactions, rapid mixing reactions, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
[0003] However, the widespread application of microreactors in heterogeneous catalytic reactions (especially liquid-solid or gas-liquid-solid three-phase reactions involving solid catalysts) still faces significant technical challenges and limitations. Traditional particulate catalysts cannot be directly used in heterogeneous catalytic reactions due to microchannel blockage and high pressure drops, and existing alternatives all have serious drawbacks: the active component loading of the wall-supported coating is low and easily peels off and deactivates; structured supports are difficult to integrate with microchannels and are limited by thermal conductivity; catalyst refinement can alleviate blockage, but it inevitably causes an increase in the pressure drop of the reaction system as the reaction proceeds. These problems severely restrict the practical application of microreactors in heterogeneous catalytic processes such as hydrogenation and oxidation.
[0004] It is worth noting that heterogeneous catalysis itself has significant advantages: the spontaneous separation of the catalyst from the reaction system greatly simplifies the post-processing; the recyclability of solid catalysts effectively reduces production costs; and its broad applicability to gas-liquid-solid multiphase reactions can cover many key industrial processes. However, existing microreactor technology cannot fully leverage these advantages, making it difficult to apply the microchannel characteristics such as efficient mass transfer and precise temperature control to heterogeneous catalytic systems.
[0005] Therefore, how to overcome the technical adaptation barriers between microreactors and heterogeneous catalysis, and achieve synergistic effects of their respective advantages, has become a core issue that urgently needs to be addressed in this field. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a system for achieving nanoscale heterogeneous catalysis within a microreactor using a sand milling device. The system includes a pretreatment module, a raw material supply module, a plate-type mixing microreactor 5, and a sedimentation and collection module. The first inlet 51 of the plate-type mixing microreactor 5 connects to the outlet of the pretreatment module, and the second inlet 52 connects to the outlet of the raw material supply module. This facilitates the mixing of substances in the pretreatment module and the raw material supply module through the plate-type mixing microreactor 5. The pretreatment module is used to grind the solid catalyst to reduce its particle size and prevent clogging of the microchannels in the plate-type mixing microreactor 5. The pretreatment module also mixes the solid catalyst with liquid additives to form a suspension containing the catalyst, ensuring smooth flow of the solid catalyst. The plate-type mixing microreactor 5 is used to hold reactants and mix the catalyst-containing suspension and reactants to obtain a mixture of reaction products and catalyst, which is then transported to the sedimentation and collection module. Compared to directly adding solid catalysts into the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, by reducing the particle size of the solid catalyst and allowing the solid catalyst and reactants to move simultaneously within the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, the solid catalyst and reactants can be fully contacted and mixed. The sedimentation and collection module is used to separate the mixture of reaction products and catalysts, thereby collecting the reaction products. Ultimately, heterogeneous catalytic reactions are achieved within the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, which not only enhances reaction performance and improves heterogeneous catalytic performance but also avoids the phenomenon of heterogeneous catalyst blockage within the plate-type mixing microreactor 5.
[0024] Specifically, the pretreatment module includes a sand mill 1 and a first delivery pump 3, which are connected by a pipeline. The sand mill 1 is used to grind the solid catalyst and mix the solid catalyst with liquid additives to form a suspension containing the catalyst. The first delivery pump 3 is connected by a pipeline to the first inlet 51 of the plate mixing microreactor 5, and is used to pass the suspension containing the catalyst prepared in the sand mill 1 into the plate mixing microreactor 5. The sand mill 1 is a Toppa HNM6.
[0025] The liquid additive in the mill 1 is a reactant or an inert solvent, and then the liquid additive (e.g., reactant) is milled and mixed with the solid catalyst to prepare a nanofluid.
[0026] The particle size of the solid catalyst after grinding by the sand mill 1 is 30nm-80nm; the first delivery pump 3 is a horizontal flow pump, and the flow rate adjustment range of the first delivery pump 3 is 0-10ml / min.

The raw material storage tank 2 is used to hold reactants. The second transfer pump 4 is connected by a pipeline to the second inlet 52 of the plate mixing microreactor 5. The second transfer pump 4 is used to pass the reactants in the raw material storage tank 2 into the plate mixing microreactor 5.
[0028] The raw material storage tank 2 is made of stainless steel; the second transfer pump 4 is a horizontal flow pump, and the flow rate adjustment range of the second transfer pump 4 is 0-10 ml / min.
[0029] The plate-type mixing microreactor 5 includes a microreactor body, a first branch channel 54, a second branch channel 55, and a mixing channel 53. The first branch channel 54, the second branch channel 55, and the mixing channel 53 are all located inside the microreactor body. One end of the first branch channel 54 is the first inlet 51 of the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, and the second end of the first branch channel 54 is connected to the first end of the mixing channel 53. One end of the second branch channel 55 is the second inlet 52 of the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, and the second end of the second branch channel 55 is connected to the first end of the mixing channel 53. The substances at the first inlet 51 and the second inlet 52 are then introduced into the mixing channel 53 and fully mixed. The second end of the mixing channel 53 is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation collection module to collect the reaction products.
[0030] The first end of the mixing channel 53 is located near one side of the plate mixing microreactor 5, and the second end of the mixing channel 53 is located near the other side of the plate mixing microreactor 5. The mixing channel 53 is a serpentine channel, which can extend the reaction path and make the solid catalyst and reactants fully mixed.

The sedimentation tank 7 is connected to the outlet of the plate mixing microreactor 5 through a pipeline, and the back pressure valve 6 is installed on the pipeline between the sedimentation tank 7 and the plate mixing microreactor 5. After the reaction is completed, the solid catalyst and the reaction products flow out of the plate mixing microreactor 5 together, which fundamentally avoids the clogging of the plate mixing microreactor 5, and the catalyst can be easily recovered by centrifugation or filtration.
[0032] The settling tank 7 is made of stainless steel; the back pressure valve 6 can adjust the pressure range of the system that uses sand milling equipment to achieve nanoscale heterogeneous catalysis in the microreactor to 0-1.5 MPa.
[0033] When performing heterogeneous catalytic reactions using the system in this embodiment that utilizes a sand mill to achieve nanoscale heterogeneous catalysis within a microreactor, a solid catalyst and one of the reaction solutions or an inert solvent are passed through a sand mill 1 to obtain a catalyst-containing reactant suspension, which is then fed into a plate-type mixing microreactor 5 via a first transfer pump 3. The remaining reaction solution of the reaction system is fed into the plate-type mixing microreactor 5 via a second transfer pump 4. In the plate-type mixing microreactor 5, all mixtures and the solid catalyst are thoroughly mixed. The solid catalyst and reactants flow together into the plate-type mixing microreactor 5 and move while reacting. After the reaction is completed, the solid catalyst and reaction products flow out of the plate-type mixing microreactor 5 together and settle and separate in a settling tank 7.

The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
