AI Technical Summary
In existing bubble column reactors, solid catalysts sink rapidly under gravity, resulting in short mass transfer time and poor mass transfer effect, which seriously affects the preparation of naphthoic acid compounds.
By setting up a specially structured gas distributor and liquid guide in the reactor, the gas blown out by the gas distributor drives the liquid flow to prolong the solid suspension time, and the circulation system improves the liquid circulation and enhances the gas-liquid contact effect.
It improved mass transfer efficiency, shortened reaction time, and enhanced the preparation efficiency and catalytic oxidation effect of naphthoic acid compounds.
