Abstract
The preparation of 1,2-dichloroethane from ethylene, hydrogen chloride and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas (oxychlorination) advantageously proceeds in a reactor having a lower delimitation for a catalyst fluid bed, a first gas inlet (distributor tubes) being arranged above the delimitation and within the catalyst fluid bed, which gas inlet contains nozzles distributed over the entire cross section of the reactor, these nozzles opening into tubes which conduct the exiting gas stream essentially in the opposite direction to the gas stream which fluidizes the catalyst, this gas stream being fed through a second gas inlet beneath the delimitation.
Description
Apparatus and its use for oxychlorination "Oxychlorination" is taken to mean the reaction of ethylene with hydrogen chloride and oxygen or as oxygen-containing gas, 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) being formed.
The hydrogen chloride used in this case is customarily the hydrogen chloride produced in the thermal cracking of EDC to give vinylchloride.
For the oxychlorination use is made, inter alia, of cata-lysts which contain metal halides, preferably copper chloride, on dust-fine supports such as alumina. The catalyst particles in this case have a mean diameter of about 50 Ecm and form a fluid bed, which is either supported only by the reaction gas streams, if appropriate with portions of inert gas, or is additionally supported by a circulated gas stream. In this process, the heat of reaction is distributed in the fluid bed and removed at cooling surfaces, which achieves a uniform temperature distribution in the fluid-bed reactor. In this case, the catalyst particles must have a high abrasion resistance. This property is given essentially by the support material, for which, in addition to the alumina already mentioned, silica, kieselguhr or pumice are also used. If the abrasion resistance is inadequate, the catalyst particles are crushed, in particular by the gas jets of the gas inlet apparatus, and the catalyst support dust thus arising is discharged from the oxychlorination reactor by the upwards-directed gas stream. This not only causes a catalyst loss, but also produces increased abrasion in the apparatus.
The use cf an abrasion-resistant support material, on the other hand, is accompanied by an increased wear of the gas inlet apparatuses, which leads to their frequent exchange, this signifying considerable outlay and additional costs owing to the interruption in production.
In addition to the necessary balance between the stabi lity of the catalyst partsicles and the abrasion caused f thereby, it must also be further ensured that the cata-lyst particles do not agglomerate, since agglomerates caused by this lead to disturbance of the fluid bed. The consequences would be a nonuniform temperature distri-bution in the fluid bed with a correspondingly less favorable reaction course, and, possibly, blockages at points of constriction in the apparatus, for example in-cyclones for dust separation above the fluid bed or a.n descender pipes for returning the dust from these cyclones to the fluid bed. This tendency to agglomeration depends, in particular, on the concentration of the reaction gases in the fluid bed, in addition to the properties of the catalyst and its distribution on the catalyst support.
2a EP-A-0 446 379 discloses a reactor for preparing a-/S-unsaturated nitrites, in the lower part of which there is provided a horizontally arranged gas feed duct for an olefin or tertiary butyl alcohol, a multiplicity of nozzles being arranged on the underside of the gas feed duct, aad also a further feed duct for an oxygen-contain-ing gas which is arraaged below and parallel to the other gas feed duct, the distance between the two gas feed ducts being 25 to 300 ate. A distance which is too short can lead to damage of the gas feed ducts by melting owing to an unusual reaction, while if the distance_ is too great the olefin or the tertiary butyl alcohol is not mixed sufficiently with the. oxygen-coataining gas, which reduces the yield of nitrite.
GH-A-1 265 770 discloses a reactor for fluid-bed reac-tions having a distributor plate in the lowez part of the reactor; under the distributor plate there is provided a gas feed duct and in the outer region next to the reactor housing above and adjacent to the distributor plate there is provided a further gas feed duct. This further gas feed duct prevents the catalyst from settling in the outer region. This precaution serves, in particular, to prevent the catalyst from being reduced. Within the fluid bed there can be provided a further gas feed duct which is arranged in the lower part of the reactor so as to give good mixing of the reactants at the base of the fluid bed.
2b v, 20 WO 94/19099 discloses an apparatus for oxychlorination which comprises a reactor 1, a lower delimitation 2 for a fluid-bed catalyst 3, a gas inlet (distributor tube) 4 which contains nozzles 5, the nozzles 5 opening into tubes 6 which impart a horizontal component in the 25 direction of flow to the exiting gas stream, and a gas inlet 9 beneath the delimitation 2.
Preferred embodiments are focused on said tubes, into which the nozzles open out, containing at the end guiding apparatuses having outlet orifices, or these tubes 30 pointing at an angle upwards or in a horizontal direction or at an angle downwards and these tubes ending open in the catalyst bed, or these tubes or the outlet orifices of adjacent tubes being arranged in such a way that the effluent gas jets do not meet one another frontally 35 and/or do not meet an adjacent tube. Other preferred embodiments are focused on tubes being run through the delimitation, in which tubes nozzles are arranged beneath the delimitation, but above the lower end of the tubes which have been run through, these nozzles preferably being installed in the lower half of the tubes in ques-tion, in particular at a distance of about one tube diameter from the lower end.
It has now been found that this known apparatus, in long-term operation and with high throughputs, that is at high gas velocities, exhibits a certain abrasion in the gas inlet apparatuses. Surprisingly, it has further been found that this abrasion does not occur, or occurs only to a considerably reduced extent, if the tubes into which the nozzles open conduct the exiting gas stream essen-tially in the opposite direction to the gas stream which keeps the catalyst in the form of a fluid bed.
The invention thus relates to an apparatus for oxy-chlorination, which comprises - a reactor 1, - a lower delimitation 2 for a catalyst fluid bed 3, - a gas inlet (distributor tubes) 4 above the delimi-tation 2 and within the catalyst fluid bed 3, which gas inlet contains nozzles 5 distributed over the entire cross section of the reactor 1, - the nozzles 5 opening into tubes 6 which conduct the exiting gas stream essentially in countercurrent to the gas stream which fluidizes the catalyst, and - a gas inlet 7 beneath the delimitation 2.
The apparatus of the invention is advantageously designed so that there are arranged opposite the number of tubes 8 the same number of tubes 6, uniformly distributed over the cross section of a reactor 1. The alignment of the respective tubes 8 and 6 gives particularly a correspon-dence of the amounts of gases reacting with one another from the tubes 8 and 6.
In another embodiment of the apparatus of the invention, an identical number of tubes 8 and 6 are situated oppo-site each other in a staggered manner. This geometry produces the lowest possible erosion of the tubes 6 due to the gas stream ascending from the tubes 8. Further-more, this arrangement enables the reactants entering into the catalyst fluid bed 3 from the tubes 8 and 6 to be immediately exposed to an intimate contact with the catalyst. By this means, the desired reaction in the direction of the formation of EDC is promoted, and side reactions, for example the combustion of ethylene with oxygen, are suppressed.
A further embodiment of this apparatus permits greater freedom for its design and construction. In this case, the number of tubes 6 is different from the number of tubes 8. However, in this case also, the most uniform distribution possible of these tubes over the cross section of the reactor 1 is important. This form makes it possible to change the number of tubes 6 in an existing reactor, without at the same time adapting the tubes 8, which would signify a high expenditure.
The invention is described in more detail in the following example.
Example An apparatus according to Figure 1 is used. The reactants preheated to 160°C are introduced in the gaseous state into a reactor 1 of diameter 2.8 m and height 26 m. A
mixture of 5974 kg/h of hydrogen chloride and 1417 kg/h of oxygen flows through the gas inlet 4 via the nozzles 5 and the tubes 6 into the catalyst fluid bed 3. The nozzles 5 have different diameters, so that as uniform a gas distribution as possible is achieved at all nozzles 5 and thus over the cross section of the reactor 1. The diameter of the nozzles 5 increases in the downstream direction of the gas inlet 4 from 8.6 mm to 9.3 mm and ' further to 10 mm, in order to compensate for the various pressure drops along the gas inlet up to the individual nozzles 5. The tubes 6 of an internal diameter of 40 mm have a length of 300 mm. 2380 kg/h of ethylene flow through the lower delimitation 2 via the gas inlet 7 and the tubes 8 containing the nozzles 9. In the reactor 1, there is situated as catalyst copper(II) chloride on an alumina support in the form of a catalyst fluid bed 3.
The abovementioned reactants are introduced into this fluid bed. To fluidize the fluid bed, a circulated gas stream of 8780 kg/h additionally flows via the gas inlet 7 and the tubes 8 through the lower delimitation 2 into the reactor 1. The upper ends of the tubes 8 are flush with the lower delimitation 2. The distance between this lower delimitation and the lower ends of the tubes 6 is 400 mm. In this section, the reactants are distributed over the reactor cross section, and mixing zones between the individual reactants and the catalyst form. Ethylene and circulated gas flow from bottom to top in the reac-tor. On this path, they meet the hydrogen chloride and oxygen and react with interaction of the catalyst present to form EDC and water. The heat of reaction of 238.5 kJ/mol arising in this case is taken off via the catalyst fluid bed 3 to the cooling coil 12 in which water vapor-izes at 183°C. The reaction temperature is 225°C at a gauge pressure of 3.2 bar in the reactor. The gas stream at the reactor top, comprising the reaction products and the circulated gas, leaves the reactor 1 via three cyclones for further processing (not depicted in the figure) . The three cyclones connected in series serve for separating off the entrained catalyst dust from the gas stream at the reactor top above the catalyst fluid bed.
The hydrogen chloride used in this case is customarily the hydrogen chloride produced in the thermal cracking of EDC to give vinylchloride.
For the oxychlorination use is made, inter alia, of cata-lysts which contain metal halides, preferably copper chloride, on dust-fine supports such as alumina.
