Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reactor preparing isocyanates, be specifically related to a kind of dynamically self-cleaning reactor, also relate to the method using this reactor to prepare isocyanates.
Background technology
Gas phase phosgenation method prepares isocyanates just has report in the forties in 20th century, gas phase reaction process usually carries out in tubular reactor, it is fast that it has reaction rate, the feature that phosgene hold-up is low, if but mix improper, during as mixed slow, then generate more polymeric by-products, these accessory substances are wall built-up coking, caking in reactor, final blocking reactor, particularly material more easily produces coking material at first make contact place, and then causes the progressively deterioration of mixing flow field, shortens the cycle of operation of reactor.Therefore need high-temperature reaction process to strengthen mixing on the one hand, shorten the time of staying; On the other hand, adopt the reactor of high mixing efficiency, to avoid generating solid matter in reactor, the third aspect, effectively will remove inevitable reactive deposition thing, the extension reactor cycle of operation.
European patent EP 0289840A have employed a kind of barrel type reactor not with movable member, and reaction logistics is reacted under turbulence state.Gas phase phosgenation process due to aliphatic amine is an extremely fast course of reaction, belongs to the course of reaction that mixing velocity controls.Usually due to back-mixing, cause isocyanates and amine to react, thus form solid pollution reactor, and cause airway blockage.
European patent EP 0593334A describes a kind of method preparing aromatic isocyanate in the gas phase, any dynamic tumbler is not comprised in the tubular reactor that the method adopts, contractile response wall is only utilized to increase disturbance, compared with the mixed effect obtained with the standard of use hybrid element, its mixed effect is poor, and this bad mixing will cause forming undesirable solid product.
European patent EP 0699657A describes a kind of method preparing aromatic isocyanate in the gas phase, the reaction of aromatic diamine and phosgene is carried out in mixing reactor, this reactor is divided into two regions, inner region is the Mixed Zone of diamines photoreactive gas mixing, accounts for 20 ~ 80% of total reactor volume; Exterior domain is the conversion zone close to plug flow, accounts for 80 ~ 20% of total reaction volume.But the reaction volume due at least 20% there will not be desirable back-mixing, therefore cause uneven residence time destribution, form undesirable solid product.
European patent EP 1362847A describes a kind of method preparing isocyanates in the gas phase, in the method, by the measure relevant to flowing as added Homogenizing Element in the reactor and determining the center of gas phase educt, improve the response characteristic in tubular reactor, thus avoid the formation of the secondary species of deposit in reactor and the polymerization that causes reactor lifetime to shorten.
US Patent No. 4847408A adopts the prevailing reactor of turbulent flow to strengthen mixing, reaction logistics is reacted under strong turbulence state, and its internal diameter is 2.5mm, and length is 17.5mm, amine steam is injected in reactor by nozzle at high speeds, has prepared HDI under the high temperature of 400 DEG C.Barrel type reactor simple in US4847408A is improved as similar Venturi type blender by CN1396152A, and this design can reduce contact and the back-mixing of reaction zone and wall.
Chinese patent application CN1651406A discloses a kind of tubular reactor without moveable element, this reactor has the double wall conduit that tubular reactor rotating shaft direction extends along center, the concentric annular gap formed between the inner and outer wall of double wall conduit, makes the amine photoreactive gas fast reaction being heated to 200 ~ 600 ° in this format.The method is the improvement carried out on the basis of straight feed pipe by amine feed pipe, adds somewhat to the diffusion admittance of amine, improves mixed effect, but this blender equally also exists the problem that solid matter lumps in inside.
The process that gas phase phosgenation prepares isocyanates is a fast reaction process, even if under the mixing rate be exceedingly fast, also cannot avoid the formation of the high polymers such as accessory substance urea, therefore need to find and a kind ofly can make the efficient rapid mixing of reactant and effectively can remove reactor and the method for reactive deposition thing.
