AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

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.

Method used

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.

🎯Benefits of technology

It improved mass transfer efficiency, shortened reaction time, and enhanced the preparation efficiency and catalytic oxidation effect of naphthoic acid compounds.

Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of fine chemical equipment and to a bubble column reactor and method for preparing a naphthoic acid compound. The bubble column reactor comprises: a column body in which a reaction chamber is provided; a gas distributor at least partially arranged in the reaction chamber, wherein the section of the gas distributor that is located inside the reaction chamber is provided with at least one first through hole in communication with the reaction chamber, and the axis of the first through hole forms an acute angle with an outer surface of the gas distributor or a tangent line at the outer surface of the gas distributor, so that a gas blown out of the gas distributor drives a liquid to flow and prolong the suspension time of solids in the liquid; and an air pump system configured to be in communication with the gas distributor and supply the gas. During reaction, a liquid containing a solid catalyst is injected into the reaction chamber, and the liquid is guided by means of second through holes on the gas distributor, thereby increasing the suspension time of the solid catalyst in the liquid, thus enhancing the mass transfer effect.
