Technical field
The invention belongs to chemical process technology fields, are related to a kind of coupled reactor, are used for oxalic acid more particularly, to one kind
The coupled reactor of Arrcostab hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol.
Background technique
Ethylene glycol is a kind of important Organic Chemicals, and it is poly- to benzene that it can react generation with terephthalic acid (TPA) (PTA)
Naphthalate (PET), i.e. polyester resin, can be used as the raw material of polyester fiber and polyester plastics, this is current ethylene glycol
Main purposes.Ethylene glycol can also react generation with polyacids such as phthalic acid, maleic acid and fumaric acid
Corresponding polymer is referred to as alkyd resin.Secondly, ethylene glycol can also be directly used as antifreezing agent and prepare the coolant of engine,
The dinitrate of ethylene glycol can be used as explosive, while be also production plasticizer, paint, adhesive, surfactant, explosive and electricity
The indispensable substance of the products such as container electrolyte.
Coal based synthetic gas preparing ethylene glycol is from synthesis gas by CO gas-phase catalytic coupling synthesis of oxalic acid Arrcostab, then plus
Hydrogen prepares ethylene glycol, and the dependence to petroleum resources is got rid of from raw material, actively complies with ethylene glycol production technology trend, meets
The development strategy of China's energy development.
The key technology of coal based synthetic gas preparing ethylene glycol first is that oxalic acid Arrcostab hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol reactor is opened
Hair.Currently, commercial plant medium-height grass acid alkyl ester hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol uses shell and tube reactor, which belongs to axial direction
Type, for catalyst loaded in tubulation, shell walks refrigerant, and separate unit reactor tubulation number reaches 4000-5000 root, and about 4 meters of reactor outer diameter,
About 7.5 ten thousand tons/year of separate unit reactor ethylene glycol production capacity.Since by being limited in terms of transporting, reactor diameter cannot be excessive, one
As control at 4 meters or so, thus using shell and tube reactor cannot achieve the enlargement of separate unit oxalic acid Arrcostab hydrogenator.
In addition, existing shell and tube reactor exchange capability of heat is limited, hot(test)-spot temperature is higher, causes hydrogenation products production quantity more, ethylene glycol
Selectivity can not further increase.
Compared with axial flow reactor, have fluid flow area big in radial reactor, catalyst bed is thin, bed pressure
Small advantage drops, and radial reactor is at home and abroad applied in a variety of chemical fields in recent years.Patent CN202876771U is public
A kind of radial reactor applied to oxalic acid Arrcostab hydrogenation synthesizing of ethylene glycol has been opened, has from top to bottom successively included being located at input end
Reactor inlet pipe, inlet gas distributor, Heat Room, upper end inert filler layer, intermediate radial reaction bed, lower end inertia
Packing layer, exit gas distributor and reactor outlet pipe;The intermediate radial reaction bed, successively include from outside to inside with it is upper
Annular space, outer distributing barrel, catalyst bed, inside distributor between the reactor shell inner wall and outer distributing barrel of holding inert filler layer to connect
With center gas collecting tube.Reactor catalyst packing factor is high in the patent, and pressure drop is small, and production capacity is big, but this is radially reacted
For device since fluid flow area is very big, catalyst bed is relatively thin, and there are the axially distributed non-uniform possibilities of fluid.In addition, by
Containing the impurity for having destruction to catalyst in the DMO supplied materials of upstream, lack guard bed, relatively thin radial bed not can guarantee
The service life of catalyst.
