Description

Preparation system and method of polyglycolic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of polyglycolic acid preparation, and particularly relates to a polyglycolic acid preparation system and method.
Background
Polyglycolic acid is a common biodegradable polyester and is widely applied to high-added-value fields such as surgical sutures, drug carriers, bone materials and the like. Polyglycolic acid has a simple and regular linear molecular structure and is a simple linear aliphatic polyester. The polyglycolic acid with molecular weight over 10000 has strong mechanical strength and can be used for medical suture. The industrial production of high molecular weight polyglycolic acid generally employs a method of ring-opening polymerization of glycolide.
China is a country with less oil and more coal, and with the development of the industry of preparing ethylene glycol from coal in China, the development of the coal chemical industry can be further promoted by utilizing the intermediate product dimethyl oxalate to produce polyglycolic acid on a large scale. Preparing glycolate by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate; glycolic acid is prepared by hydrolyzing glycollic acid ester; then preparing an intermediate product glycolide from the glycolic acid; the ring-opening polymerization of glycolide produces polyglycolic acid of high molecular weight.
When the existing dimethyl oxalate hydrogenation reaction system is used for preparing glycolate, dimethyl oxalate and hydrogen are mixed and then introduced into a reactor for hydrogenation reaction, and hydrogen and oxalic acid are usedThe dimethyl esters are not sufficiently mixed, so that the reaction needs to be carried out at a high hydrogen-ester ratio (hydrogen-ester ratio > 30:1) and a high hydrogen pressure (> 2.0MPa), and the production capacity of the reactor is limited (liquid hourly space velocity < 1.0 h)-1)。
Meanwhile, when the glycolic acid is prepared by the existing glycolate hydrolysis reaction system, glycolate and distilled water are directly introduced into a reaction kettle for hydrolysis reaction, and the water and glycolate cannot be fully mixed in the reaction kettle, so that the reaction efficiency is low.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

In addition, the liquid reciprocal channels are arranged between the adjacent micro-interface generators, the two liquid reciprocal channels are preferably arranged in bilateral symmetry, the gas phase crushing can be improved better because the mutual circulation of liquid is carried out between the micro-interface generators, the crushing needs power, the liquid reciprocal channels are correspondingly matched to provide power except that the microporous structures in the micro-interface generators provide power, and the best mode is that the liquid phase flow directions of the two liquid reciprocal channels are exactly opposite, so that the convection can be generated between the micro-interface generators, and the crushing effect is improved.
The micro-interface generator in the hydrogenation reactor breaks hydrogen into micro-bubbles with micron scale, and releases the micro-bubbles into the reactor, so as to increase the phase boundary mass transfer area between the hydrogen and the dimethyl oxalate in the hydrogenation reaction process, so that the hydrogen is fully contacted with the dimethyl oxalate in the micro-bubble state, and the hydrogenation reaction is carried out.
Similarly, the micro-interface generator is arranged in the hydrolysis reactor, the single micro-interface generator can basically meet the reaction requirement, and the micro-interface generator is preferably arranged at a lower position in the reactor, so that the position of the micro-interface generator is closer to the position of the steam feeding pipeline, and the micro-interface generator can be fully dispersed and crushed in the micro-interface generator before steam enters the hydrolysis reactor to carry out hydrolysis reaction, thereby being more beneficial to the subsequent hydrolysis reaction, greatly increasing the dispersion and crushing effect by the arrangement position, and ensuring that the single micro-interface generator can achieve good dispersion effect.
