Description
Technical field
The utility model belongs to chemical field, is related to the production of metallic potassium, and in particular to a kind of continuous production of metallic potassium
Device.
Background technique
Metallic potassium and its derived product be chemical industry, space flight, underwater kit oxygen supply, unsafe condition oxygen supply save oneself, the neck such as pharmacy
The highly useful raw material in domain.Synthetic method about metallic potassium industrialized can only have a kind of potassium chloride metallic sodium high temperature to set at present
Change reaction method.This method reaction condition is harsher, is the reaction temperature for needing 850 DEG C or so first, at these temperatures
The material of reactor is required it is relatively high, should high temperature resistant also want corrosion-resistant, equipment input cost is relatively high;Since displacement is reacted
It is that reversible reaction will guarantee that the conversion ratio of reaction must under vacuum constantly separate the potassium of generation from system distillation, this is just
Need to solve vacuum-packed problem;Due under high temperature metallic potassium, sodium all with oxygen, nitrogen vigorous reaction, this requires system anoxybiotic,
Exhausted nitrogen simultaneously carries out under protection of argon gas, this also needs to solve the problems, such as sealing;Since the fusing point of potassium chloride is 770 DEG C, potassium
Boiling point is 774 DEG C, and the temperature of reaction necessarily is greater than this temperature, and the potassium generated is very easy to be dissolved in potassium chloride and be not easy
Escape, this just needs enough temperature, enough disengagement areas and enough stirring intensities just to can guarantee that reaction constantly carries out,
The disengagement area heat transfer problem for increasing reactor is just exposed, and increasing stirring intensity can solve under heat transfer problem but high temperature
Stirring vacuum sealing problem can not solve so far, in addition, the reaction is exothermic reaction, the temperature of reaction is controlled after reacting and starting
As soon as being a problem again, the excessively high sodium to lead out of temperature is more, and side reaction is also more, and temperature reduces is very easy to occur " stiff pot " now again
As causing entirely to react failure, significant loss;Since potassium remaining in byproduct of reaction, sodium have the post-processing of byproduct of reaction
Then major safety risks pass through essence so the prior art is all first to be steamed out the potassium of generation and unreacted sodium together again
It evaporates to separate again and generates pure potassium, which again increases production costs and equipment investment.
Be designed to small reactor based on the above technical bottleneck prior art, without stirring intermittently operated, in this way heat transfer with
The problem of sealing is all right to be solved, but the conversion ratio reacted is not high, reaction it is inefficient, production capacity can not improve, and need every time
Will displaced air repeatedly, need to consume a large amount of argon gas, it is often more important that security risk is relatively more, and maximum security risk is
When reaction residue is a kind of containing metallic sodium, the potassium chloride of potassium, common salt mixture after reaction, it is necessary under protection of argon gas
Reaction mixture is transferred in another container, is then cooled down again, mixture this so just becomes a kind of bulk cannot
It directly releases from container, container can only be moved on to otherwise and be dissolved out mixture therein with a large amount of water, this
When be very easy to detonation occur, be unable to control, even and if safety disposition to also bigger (the mainly water of the corrosion of equipment
The corrosion of system chloride ion), also easily-deformable reuse factor is low for equipment, while it is dilute molten to generate a large amount of chloride containing potassium, common salt
Liquid waste water dis posal cost is relatively high.This is also the main reason for metallic potassium cannot be mass produced both at home and abroad, is at high cost.
Therefore, how to eliminate safe hidden trouble, reduce cost, solve Mixing Machine sealing problem, reduce energy consumption, reduce dirt
Dye, large-scale production are the problem that metallic potassium and potassium utilize field enterprises pay attention and research all the time.
