Please refer to fig. 1, the working process of the intelligent enhanced reaction system of the built-in micro-interface unit for PX PTA production in this embodiment is:
firstly, a mixture of raw materials of p-xylene, acetic acid and catalysts (cobalt acetate, manganese acetate and hydrobromic acid) enters a first reaction zone 13 between a shell 10 and an inner cylinder 11 of a reactor through the lower end of the reactor (the volume of the zone accounts for 45% of the total reaction volume in the reactor, the setting is that the time for the first two-step reaction for producing PTA by PX is about 45% of the total time of all four-step reaction), meanwhile, air enters a first micro-interface generator 20 controlled by a third PLC controller at the bottom of the first reaction zone 13 in the reactor, is crushed into micro-bubbles with the diameter of more than or equal to 1 mu m and less than 1mm, and is mixed with liquid-phase materials in the zone to form emulsion, the reaction temperature and the reaction pressure are controlled in real time by the first PLC controller, and the internal reaction temperature is monitored in real time by a temperature sensor arranged in the first reaction zone, effectively increasing the contact area between the air and the liquid-phase reaction materials, and further promoting the reaction in the area. Two reactions before PX produces PTA occur in the area, namely, p-xylene is converted into p-tolualdehyde, p-tolualdehyde is converted into p-toluic acid, and overflows to the inner barrel, and unreacted gas leaves the liquid level (wave line), passes through the defoaming net 18 and rises to the upper part of the reactor. In this region, the fluid is in a steady plug flow, completing primarily the first reaction PX → TALD and the second reaction TALD → p-TA.
Then, air broken into the micro-bubbles is introduced into the region through a first micro-interface generator arranged at the bottom of a second reaction zone at the upper part of the inner cylinder and controlled by a third PLC controller, the air is mixed with liquid-phase materials in the region to form emulsion and reacts with p-toluic acid in the mixed solution under the action of the catalyst to generate p-carboxybenzaldehyde, wherein unreacted gas leaves the liquid level (wave line), passes through a defoaming net 18 and rises to the upper part of the reactor, unreacted air leaves the liquid level and rises to the upper part of the reactor, and the unreacted air is sent to the bottom of the second reaction zone 14 at the upper part of the inner cylinder 11 through a gas guide pipe 19 under the entrainment action of a second micro-interface generator 21 arranged at the upper part of the second reaction zone 14 under the power of a circulating heat exchange device and under the entrainment action of a second micro-interface generator controlled by the third PLC controller, continuously participating in the reaction, monitoring the internal reaction temperature in real time through a temperature sensor arranged in the second reaction zone, and after multiple cycles, taking the temperature as tail gas to enter a tail gas treatment unit from an outlet at the top of the reactor under the pressure pushing condition, so that the utilization rate of oxygen in the air can be improved. In this region, two micro-interfacial generators (the first micro-interfacial generator 20 and the second micro-interfacial generator 21) opposed up and down are used to generate a vigorous and complete mixed flow to perform the third step of reaction p-TA → 4-CBA (this step has the slowest reaction speed, so the effect of complete mixed flow is to be made to enhance the mass transfer and accelerate the reaction at the same time, this region occupies 53.5% of the total reaction volume in the reactor for the same reason). Meanwhile, the temperature of the materials in the region is controlled by a circulating heat exchange device outside the reactor, the bubbles generated by the second micro-interface generator 21 in the second reaction zone 14 move downwards, the bubbles generated by the first micro-interface generator 20 move upwards, and the bubbles are violently collided, so that the turbulence of the fluid is strengthened, smaller bubbles can be generated, the gas-liquid two-phase contact area is further increased, and the mass transfer and reaction are accelerated.
Finally, the product in the second reaction zone 14 passes through the wave grating 17 into the third reaction zone 15 (this zone has a volume of 1.5% of the total reaction volume in the reactor for the same reason), which is turned into a plug flow by the wave grating 17, and the fourth reaction step 4-CBA → TA is carried out, i.e., the conversion of p-carboxybenzaldehyde into terephthalic acid. Air enters the reaction zone through a first micro-interface generator 20 at the bottom of the reaction zone to perform the oxidation reaction. Discharging a reaction product (terephthalic acid TA) together with unreacted paraxylene PX, a solvent, a catalyst, byproducts and the like through an outlet pipeline below the reactor, entering a subsequent separation and refining section, and monitoring the reaction pressure of a system in real time through a plurality of pressure sensors arranged in the reactor in the reaction process.
