Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The multistage reaction is realized by a multistage circulation tower reactor containing a two-stage multi-unit and a matched diamine recovery tower as shown in figure 1; wherein the reactor has an inlet 1 for the liquid phase at the top, a vapor outlet 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d or 2e for each stage unit, and a product outlet 4 at the bottom. Wherein a liquid phase inlet 1 is used for injecting a liquid phase stream. The gas discharged from the vapor outlet 2 mainly contains gaseous water and diamine, which are evaporation products in the liquid phase.
The first stage is a multi-stage loop reaction area and comprises n stages of reaction units, each stage of reaction unit comprises a liquid phase circulation loop, and the liquid phase circulation loop comprises a guide shell 5, a heat supply area 6 which is arranged between the inner wall of the reactor and the guide shell and consists of a heat exchange tube bundle 9, and a tower tray 7 which is arranged at the bottom of the reaction unit. The guide shell 5 is superposed with the central axis of the reactor;
the liquid material in the reaction unit is heated in the heating area 6 to raise its temperature and lower its density, and under the action of the bubbles generated by boiling evaporation, the liquid material in the area moves upwards to generate steam. When the gas-liquid mixed fluid rises to the surface of the liquid phase, gas-liquid separation is carried out, wherein the gas overflows from the liquid surface to the gas phase space at the upper part of the reaction unit, and the liquid flows back from the liquid surface into the area of the guide cylinder 5 under the action of gravity and inertia and flows downwards. The liquid phase is circulated between the guide shell and the heating area. The circular flow not only ensures the full mixing of the liquid phase in the reaction unit, but also strengthens the heat exchange efficiency of the heat supply area.
The liquid phase inlet after the first-stage reaction unit is used as a diamine supplement inlet 3. Liquid phase inlets (3a, 3b and 3c) of the 2 nd-nth stage reaction units are connected with an outlet of a diamine recovery storage tank through reflux pipelines, and each reflux pipeline is provided with a diamine reflux valve (20a, 20b and 20 c);
each reaction unit in the first stage is provided with a vapor outlet 2a, 2b, 2c or 2d for discharging a gas mixture overflowing from the liquid phase, each vapor outlet (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e) is connected to a gas phase inlet of the diamine recovery column through a vapor line, and each vapor line (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e) is provided with a vapor valve (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 12 e). The gas discharged from the vapor outlet is injected into the diamine recovery column T through the vapor valves 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d, the vapor lines 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d and the line 14 in this order. The amount of discharged steam is controlled by a valve, so that the gas phase pressure of the reaction unit is regulated and controlled, and further, the evaporation capacity and the polycondensation reaction are balanced;
the tower tray 7 in each stage of reaction unit is provided with a liquid phase outlet 10 for discharging the liquid phase in the reaction unit to the next reaction unit, and the liquid phase outlet is provided with a valve for controlling the liquid level of the reaction unit where the liquid phase outlet is positioned, thereby regulating and controlling the reaction residence time.
The multistage decompression reaction zone of the second stage comprises m stages of decompression units, each stage of decompression unit is provided with a snakelike decompression pipe 11, a tray 7 is also arranged in the front m-1 stage of decompression unit, and a liquid phase outlet 10 is arranged on the tray 7; each snakelike pressure reducing pipe 11 is connected with the liquid phase outlet 10 of the last stage of pressure reducing unit, and the snakelike pressure reducing pipe 11 of the first stage of pressure reducing unit is connected with the liquid phase outlet 10 of the nth stage of reaction unit of the first stage; the bottom of the m-stage decompression unit is a collecting tank 8, and one side of the bottom of the m-stage decompression unit is provided with a product outlet 4. The upper part of each stage of decompression unit is provided with a steam outlet 2. The pressure reduction unit shown in the figure only has one stage comprising a serpentine pressure reduction pipe 11 and a collecting tank 8 positioned below the serpentine pressure reduction pipe and used for collecting products, wherein the serpentine pressure reduction pipe 11 is connected with a liquid phase outlet of a tray 7d in the last reaction unit in the first stage, and the outer side of the serpentine pressure reduction pipe 11 is coated with a heat exchange jacket 23; the liquid phase substance enters the serpentine pressure reduction pipe 11 through a liquid phase outlet in the last reaction unit in the first stage, after pressure reduction, the liquid flowing out of the serpentine pressure reduction pipe outlet enters a reactor bottom collecting tank 8, and the gas is discharged from a steam outlet 2 e.
The diamine recovery column T may be any suitable rectification column. The diamine recovery column illustrated in the figure contains eight rectification trays 15a-15h, which may be sieve trays or bubble cap trays and may be not limited in number to eight, and may be more or less than eight. The trays can also be replaced by packing that performs the separation function, including raschig rings, pall rings, glass beads, glass wool, structured packing, or any other suitable packing material. The column may have any suitable height, such as from 1m to 20m, and the column may have any suitable diameter, such as from about 0.1m to 10 m.
The mixed steam is injected into a diamine recovery tower, gradually moves upwards, passes through 8 rectification tower plates, is discharged above 15a, is condensed into liquid by a condenser 16, then one part of the liquid is discharged through a valve 17, and the other part of the liquid flows back to the tower. The amount of reflux can be controlled by parameters such as temperature, flow rate of the heat exchange fluid through the condenser, and the operating pressure within the column. A part of the liquid at the bottom of the column can be converted into gas flowing upward by heating in the reboiler 18, and the other part of the liquid is discharged through the valve 19, in which case the liquid phase contains almost all diamine as a component. The diamine thus separated flows into a diamine recovery tank through a liquid phase outlet, and the recovered diamine is quantitatively injected into all the reaction units except the first reaction unit in the first reaction stage from diamine reflux inlets 3a, 3b and 3c directly or together with the diamine injected into the diamine recovery tank from the outside through reflux valves 20a, 20b and 20c, and used for supplementing the diamine in the reaction liquid phase to ensure the balance between the terminal carboxyl groups and the terminal amine groups of the polyamide product.
The polyamide salt solution is injected under pressure from the liquid phase inlet 1 into the first reaction unit of the multistage circulation column reactor. Suitable polyamide salt solutions have a concentration of not less than 30 wt%, preferably at least 50 wt%. The polyamide salt solution continuously enters the tray 7 and gradually accumulates until the guide shell and the heating tube bundle are completely immersed in the liquid. With the continuous heating of the polyamide salt solution by the heating zone 6, the density difference and the upward bubbling of the gas bubbles together cause the liquid to form a spontaneous circulation flow in the reaction unit, and the water in the liquid phase and part of the diamine molecules are continuously evaporated and converted into gas during the circulation heating process, and meanwhile, the polyamide salt is continuously polycondensed to produce polymer and water. The gas generated by the reaction is discharged from the vapor outlet 2a, and the reaction liquid is discharged from the liquid phase outlet 10 at the center of the tray and enters the next reaction unit with lower pressure for the second stage reaction. Similarly to the first stage, the liquid in the second stage also circulates spontaneously on the tray between the draft tube and the heating zone and undergoes polycondensation simultaneously. The gas phase pressure in the reaction unit is regulated and controlled by controlling a valve of a second-stage steam outlet 2b, and in addition, a liquid phase stream mainly containing diamine, which is obtained by recovering water and diamine mixed steam generated in the reaction process discharged from a higher-stage reaction unit through a diamine recovery tower T, returns to the reaction system through a reflux diamine inlet 3a arranged in the second reaction unit for supplementation. The liquid in the second reaction unit enters the subsequent repeated structural unit once after internal circulation reaction to carry out polycondensation reaction. After the reaction of the first stage, the operation pressure of the system is reduced to 6-12atm, then the liquid flowing out from the last reaction unit of the first stage enters the snake-shaped pressure reducer 11 of the second reaction stage connected with the liquid for pressure reduction, the gas-liquid mixture rapidly reduces the pressure through the tubular pressure reduction unit and finally reaches a low pressure or normal pressure state, and the steam generated in the pressure reduction process is injected into the diamine recovery tower T through the pipeline 14 together with the steam discharged from the reaction unit of the first stage through the steam outlet 2e, the valve 12e and the pipeline 13e in sequence to carry out gas separation and diamine recovery. The liquid product after the pressure reduction is collected in a polymer collection tank 8 at the bottom of the reactor, and an acceptable polymer product is discharged from the polyamide material outlet 4.
Preferably, the number of the first-stage reaction units is 2-10, the number of the second-stage decompression units is 1-5, and the polymerization degree of the product can be effectively controlled by regulating and controlling the number of the reaction layers of the two stages so as to adapt to the production requirements of polyamide materials with different performances.
The tray has a funnel configuration with a slope angle from the edge to the outlet of no more than 15 degrees.
The diameter ratio of the guide shell to the reactor is 0.3: 1 to 0.7: 1.
The heating tube bundles in the heat supply area are arranged in various ways, and are arranged in a rectangular way or a triangular way or other ways meeting the heat supply quantity.
Fig. 2 shows the tray configuration inside the first stage reaction unit of the present invention. The liquid material flowing in from the upper layer circulation reaction unit is injected into the reaction unit through a valve 24, and a part of diamine separated and recovered from the diamine recovery tower T enters the reaction unit through a reflux diamine inlet 3 to supplement the diamine content in the reaction system. The liquid in the heat supply area 6 in the reaction unit is heated and boiled under the heating action of the heat exchange tube bundle 9 to generate a large amount of steam, and the steam moves upwards in a bubble form to induce the liquid material to flow upwards along with the steam. And the gas-liquid mixture is subjected to gas-liquid separation when rising to the surface of a liquid phase, wherein gas overflows from the liquid surface to a gas phase space at the upper part of the reaction unit, and the liquid flows back from the liquid surface into the area of the guide cylinder 5 under the action of gravity and inertia and flows downwards. The liquid phase is circulated between the guide shell and the heating area. The circular flow not only ensures the full mixing of the liquid phase in the reaction unit, but also strengthens the heat exchange efficiency of the heat supply area. In addition, the speed of the circulating flow is affected by the combined action of the evaporation capacity and the channel size, so that the strength of the circulating flow can be regulated and controlled by changing the size of the guide shell 5 or the heat supply capacity of the heat supply area 6. The whole generated by the reaction is discharged through a steam outlet 2, and the reaction materials are discharged from a liquid phase outlet 10 at the bottom and enter the next layer of reaction unit.
FIG. 3 shows the combination of reaction units with different guide shell sizes in the first stage of the present invention. In the figure, the diameter of the guide shell 5 in the reaction unit is gradually increased from top to bottom, and the volume of the heat supply area 6 is gradually reduced. The salt solution flows through each circulation reaction unit from top to bottom in sequence, the water content of the solution at the early stage of the reaction is high, and meanwhile, the water generated by the polycondensation reaction is more, so that more heat needs to be provided to remove small molecular components in a reaction system, and meanwhile, the temperature of reaction materials is maintained, so that more heat exchange tube bundles and a larger heating area are needed. In addition, the width of the guide shell 5at the early stage of the reaction is relatively narrow, so that the circulating flow rate is relatively high, and the overall heat exchange efficiency is further improved. The water content in the reaction materials is reduced in the middle and later stages of the reaction, the requirement on the heat supply is not high in the early stage, so that the size of the guide cylinder of the lower reaction unit is widened, the volume of the heating area is reduced, and the circular flow and the reaction of the liquid phase materials in the reaction units are more stable. Wherein, preferably, the ratio of the diameter of the guide shell 5 of the first-stage reaction unit to the diameter of the multistage internal circulation tower reactor is 0.3: 1, the ratio of the diameter of the guide shell 5 of the mth stage reaction unit to the diameter of the multistage internal circulation tower reactor is 0.6: 1.
