A kind of thickener and be used for the method for liquid-solid separation
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of equipment that solia particle is separated from liquid continuously with and method for using; More particularly; Relate to a kind of thickener; And use this thickener to realize separating continuously of product liquid and solid catalyst particulate, and from catalyst concentration, remove the method for byproduct of reaction.
Background technology
Usually; In the liquid-phase catalysis course of reaction, in order to eliminate diffusion influence, the catalyst granules of use is less; But also bring product to separate this difficult problem with catalyst granules thereupon; Therefore, adopt a kind of separator that solid catalyst is separated from liquid product, become a key technology in the liquid-phase catalysis course of reaction.For example; The thickener that can catalyst concentrated out from product in the outer setting of reactor; And the catalyst slurry after will concentrating sends back in the reactor and recycles, thereby reduces the amount of entrained catalyst in the product, makes the product that obtains meet the requirement of downstream processing technology.Especially when using expensive catalysts such as noble metal catalyst, catalyst granules is separated from product and recycled, the use cost of save catalyst greatly through thickener.
In Aniline Production technology, advantages such as reaction temperature is low, side reaction is few because liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation has, catalysis load height, equipment capacity is big, gross investment is low have caused people's attention in recent years.Yet; The producer of present domestic employing liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation technology system aniline such as Ningbo polyurethane Co., Ltd, the employed thickener of sky, Shanxi ridge group company are import equipment; Cost an arm and a leg, because the domestic product that does not also occur similar technology at present causes external product to monopolize market for a long time; The thickener equipment cost is high, makes liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation system aniline technology be difficult at home obtain promote.But, in actual use, thereby because external thickener equipment adopts driven by motor hydraulic pump, generation hydraulic oil energy to be passed to the multistage transmission of hydraulic motor; Energy loss is big between this multistage transmission; Cause its transmission efficiency to be merely 60%, and the every cover mechanically-sealing apparatus of this kind equipment all is equipped with a centralized oil supply station, the fault rate height; Many cover sealing devices are equivalent to serial operation; If one of them oil pump station breaks down, then can influence the normal operation of its sealing device, thereby cause the sealing property of whole system to descend; And a plurality of oil pump stations operate more loaded down with trivial details, and security reliability is poor.
