Catalytic rectifying tower is a kind of important chemical equipment, and its inner member then is the core component of catalytic rectifying tower, and the quality of its performance will directly influence the efficient of catalytic distillation process, and for this reason, many patents and document disclose or reported various types of inner members, as:
U.S. Pat P4443599, USP4242530 and Japan Patent clear 5912749 proposed respectively catalyst is put into bagging that glass fibre or ion exchange resin felt make as catalyst element, be rolled into the filler inner member that harness is formed catalytic rectifying tower with the silk screen elastomer again, place in the catalytic rectifying tower.Because the transmission of reactant and product all need be passed through bagging, the mass transfer diffusion process is obstructed, and has a strong impact on the carrying out of course of reaction, and general reaction efficient is not high and the member manufacturing is complicated, the processing charges costliness.
Chinese patent 921038.8 and European patent 0428265 try hard to overcome the defective of above-mentioned patent, the filler inner member of the catalytic rectifying tower of another kind of type has been proposed respectively, catalyst filling between the ripple web plate, the full contact of its gas-liquid two-phase, similar to structured packing have a higher voidage, liquid-solid abundant contact, the transmission resistance is little, but this member voidage is big, there is the gas straight passage, have serious gas short circuit, when carrying out catalytic distillation with the very low non-pure component gas reaction medium of active principle content, its reaction efficiency is very low.
The inert particle that European patent 0448884 and 0476938 proposes respectively there are cavity and a large surface area in the center is evenly mixed with catalyst after with the silk screen bale packing and is positioned over the filler inner member and the catalyst that constitute catalytic rectifying tower in the catalytic rectifying tower and is positioned in the metal wire casing space, there is metal wire casing to constitute the filler inner member of catalytic rectifying tower, these two kinds of members is intended that the certain free space of formation in the filler inner member of catalytic rectifying tower in a word, the passage that flows as gas-liquid two-phase influences the efficient of reactive distillation but this class A of geometric unitA is difficult to avoid the channel of gas-liquid two-phase and short circuit phenomenon.
It is little to the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of its inner member to have an alternate transmission resistance, can avoid vapour (gas) liquid two-phase channel and short circuit again, takes into full account the new catalytic rectifying column of catalytic distillation process characteristics again.
Design of the present invention is such:
Inner member for catalytic rectifying tower, generally should satisfy following basic demand: at first, the inner member of catalytic rectifying tower should leave the circulation passage of enough vapour (gas) liquid two-phase, the decline liquid phase can be reacted by mobile from top to bottom smoothly contact catalyst, rising vapour phase (gas phase) can not cause liquid flooding by the inner member of catalytic rectifying tower, when reaction mass is that inert component content is very high and during gas medium that active principle content is very low, the inner member of catalytic rectifying tower has enough circulation passages and seems particularly important; Secondly, the inner member of catalytic rectifying tower must have sufficient mass transfer surfaces, is beneficial to the carrying out of the mass transport process of rectifying, when a reaction medium is the very low non-pure component gas medium of active principle content, absorption process also has material impact, and sufficient sorbent surface becomes more important; The 3rd, the inner member of catalytic rectifying tower must be convenient to make, and is convenient to installation and removal; In addition, price also is the factor of can not ignore.According to above principle, the inventor thinks the inner member of the catalytic rectifying tower that can adopt following structure:
