Description

Falling film devolatilizer and falling film element thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to falling film devolatilization equipment used in the fields of polymer production, spinning solution defoaming, solution concentration, vacuum evaporation and the like, in particular to a production device for polymer polycondensation reaction, and belongs to the field of chemical production equipment.
Background
In chemical operations such as polycondensation, spinning solution defoaming, vacuum evaporation, desorption and the like, the mass transfer efficiency of gradually removing small molecular compounds is a key factor for controlling the devolatilization process. Since such processes typically occur in highly viscous systems, the diffusion of small molecular compounds in the system is difficult and the devolatilization effect is limited by the structure of the components within the equipment available for material flow and the mixing characteristics of the material flow. It is desirable to develop a devolatilizer having a compact structure, a fast surface renewal frequency, and a high heat and mass transfer efficiency to achieve the goal of high capacity, high efficiency, and high quality devolatilization.
In the process of preparing polymers, melt polycondensation is a reversible polymerization reaction that continuously produces small molecular compounds, and polymers including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyamide (PA 66), and Polycarbonate (PC) can be prepared by melt polycondensation. The polymer must be prepared by continuously performing a devolatilization process for eliminating small molecular compounds so as to promote the reaction to continuously proceed forward, the viscosity of the material is extremely high, and particularly in the later stage of polycondensation, the dynamic viscosity of the material can change by orders of magnitude, and the reaction is a viscosity-changing process involving coupling of chemical reaction and heat and mass transfer. Thus, the melt polycondensation reaction effect depends on the flow characteristics and the heat and mass transfer interface characteristics of the devolatilized process materials.
The existing equipment successfully applied to devolatilization of high-viscosity materials mainly comprises disc type and cage frame type horizontal stirring devices. The two types of equipment are that the melt in a molten pool is brought up to form a film and devolatilize when rotating by means of a rotating device with the lower part immersed in the melt layer, the film forming efficiency of the melt in the mode is low, the surface update is limited, and particularly when the viscosity of the material is high, the material is attached to an inner component of the device for a long time to cause side reaction, so that the quality of the product is reduced; in addition, the rotating shaft of such stirring type reaction device is usually communicated with the outside of the shell, a large amount of high-viscosity materials are attached to the stirrer to generate a considerable degree of disturbance, and the sealing reliability of the equipment is poor. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-efficiency devolatilizer, which can make the materials in the device have good film forming performance, fast surface renewal, uniform residence time, no dead zone in the flow, easy cleaning, low energy consumption, and the reaction process meets the requirements of flow, mixing and heat and mass transfer, so as to realize high-efficiency polycondensation.
The disclosed vertical devolatilization reactor (a shell and tube external falling film polycondensation reactor, CN 102746499B; a multilayer falling pipe type falling film devolatilization reactor, CN 105903424B) has the advantages that the energy consumption is reduced to some extent, the film forming and surface updating can meet certain production quality requirements, but the adjustable production material flow range is limited, the residence time is obviously reduced when the material throughput is increased, and the product quality is reduced; the multi-layer umbrella skirt structure is easy to cause that materials can not return to the outer wall of the hollow tube due to direct falling when the materials are separated from the umbrella skirt in the falling film process, so-called short circuit is formed, thereby the devolatilization effect is poor and the viscosity of the materials is uneven, meanwhile, the multi-layer structure is also easy to cause obvious residence time difference when the lower layer tower plates radially flow due to gradual increase of the viscosity of the materials, and the devolatilization effect is further influenced. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a devolatilizing device with large film forming area, controllable film forming form, no dead zone, fast surface update, uniform and controllable residence time in the falling film process, and large flow range adaptability.

In the comparative example, a vertical circular tube with a constant diameter is used as a falling film element for melt polycondensation reaction, and melt flows out from a slit-shaped film distribution hole to the outer wall surface of the tube for the falling film melt polycondensation reaction, and the rest is the same as in example 1; the melt polycondensation reaction of PET is carried out by adopting the falling film melt polycondensation reactor, the flow rate on each falling film element is 20kg/h, and the intrinsic viscosity of the obtained product is 0.81dL/g, and the molecular weight distribution index is 1.59.
Comparative example 3
In the comparative example, the melt polycondensation reaction of PET was carried out by using the falling film melt polycondensation reactor described in the comparative example 1, and the melt polycondensation reaction was carried out by using a PET melt having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.35dL/g and a molecular weight distribution index of 1.81 as a raw material to produce a PET material having a higher molecular weight, the flow rate on each falling film element was 10kg/h, and the intrinsic viscosity of the obtained product was 0.52dL/g and the molecular weight distribution index was 1.69.
Comparing examples 1 to 6 with comparative examples 1 to 2, as shown in table 1, for the out-of-tube falling film melt polycondensation reactor with annular gap film distribution (comparative example), the out-of-tube melt coating is incomplete, the film thickness of the falling film flowing melt is uneven, the residence time of the falling film of the melt is shorter, the PET intrinsic viscosity after reaction increases at a slower rate, the molecular weight distribution of the product is significantly wider, and the intrinsic viscosity of the product is significantly reduced when the material flow is increased; when the reactor is adopted, the falling film element fin structure design is unique, the falling film process has a constrained film forming interface, the film forming area is large, the film forming form is controllable, no dead zone exists, the surface updating is fast, the residence time in the falling film process is uniform and controllable, and the high-molecular weight and narrow-distribution high-performance polyester industrial yarn material can be efficiently prepared; more importantly, when the flow is obviously increased, the device can still obtain products with high intrinsic viscosity and narrow molecular weight distribution, which indicates that the adjustable flow range of the processed materials is wide, and the device is beneficial to large-volume production.
Table 1 comparison of experimental results of examples 1 to 6 with comparative examples 1 and 2
Comparing example 7 with comparative example 3, as shown in table 2, the devolatilization reaction of PET using the falling film devolatilizer and falling film element provided by the present invention shows that when the intrinsic viscosity of the feed is low, a very good devolatilization effect can be obtained, whereas when an off-tube falling film reactor is used, the intrinsic viscosity of the obtained product is limited in growth, and the molecular weight distribution of the product is also wide, which indicates that the present invention is suitable for producing polyester materials with different viscosity grades.
