In the prior art, the reaction temperature and pressure for preparing the cyclohexyl hydroperoxide by the cyclohexane oxidation reaction are high, a plurality of byproducts are generated, and the product yield is low; in addition, compressed air is generally fed in a bubbling mode in the prior art, but the problems of uneven gas-liquid distribution and low mass transfer efficiency in a reaction kettle still exist, so that the reaction rate is low, the equipment utilization rate is low, the oxidation depth is uneven, the oxygen content of tail gas discharged from the top of the reactor is higher, and the effective utilization rate of oxygen in the compressed air is reduced.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides a system for preparing cyclohexyl hydroperoxide by cyclohexane oxidation, which integrates a reaction section and a separation section in a reactor by adopting a scheme of one tower and two kettles, thereby reducing the occupied area of the system and improving the integration degree of the system; through setting up little interfacial generator, can break into micron level's microbubble with the air dispersion, increased with the gas-liquid mass transfer area between cyclohexane, improved the oxidation efficiency of cyclohexane.
Preferably, the number of the micro-interface generators is two, the type of the micro-interface generator is a pneumatic micro-interface generator, and outlets of the two micro-interface generators are arranged oppositely. Two micro-interface generators are arranged to disperse and crush air at the same time, so that the micro-interface dispersion efficiency is improved; the outlets of the two micro-interface generators are oppositely arranged, so that the micro-bubbles of the two air streams are oppositely flushed, coalescence between the micro-bubbles is prevented, and the micro-bubbles are uniformly distributed.
Preferably, a gas distribution header is arranged at the outlet of the micro-interface generator, and the gas distribution header is communicated with the two micro-interface generators; the surface of the gas distribution pipe is provided with a plurality of gas holes. The gas distribution header is arranged to enable two micro-bubbles to do turbulent motion in the gas distribution header, and the micro-bubbles flow out from the air holes, so that the micro-bubbles are uniformly distributed.
Preferably, a liquid distributor is arranged above the sieve plate.
The reactor is divided into the reaction section at the upper part and the separation section at the lower part, so that the integration degree is high, and the occupied area is small; wherein, a micro-interface generator connected with an air inlet is arranged in the reaction section, when in reaction, air enters the micro-interface generator, is dispersed and crushed into micro-bubbles at the micron level and then is mixed with cyclohexane liquid to form gas-liquid emulsion, the gas-liquid mass transfer area of the cyclohexane and the air is increased, the reaction efficiency is improved, and simultaneously the required reaction temperature and pressure are greatly reduced,
in the invention, the number of the micro-interface generators is two, and the outlets of the two micro-interface generators are opposite and are connected through the gas distribution header. On one hand, micro-bubbles do turbulent motion in the gas distribution and collection pipe and enter the reaction section along the air holes on the pipe wall of the gas distribution and collection pipe, so that the uniform distribution of the micro-bubbles is promoted; on the other hand, two paths of micro bubbles form colliding flow, and are further dispersed and crushed through collision, so that the mass transfer efficiency of the micro interface is improved.
In addition, the positions of the cyclohexane inlet and the air inlet are not randomly arranged. The air inlet is arranged below the cyclohexane inlet because air is gas and is easy to overflow and scatter from the outlet, the reaction path of the air in the reaction section can be prolonged by arranging the air inlet below the cyclohexane inlet, oxygen in the air further reacts with cyclohexane, and the utilization rate and the conversion rate of raw materials are improved. The cyclohexane inlet is arranged above to shower from the upper part, and the liquid distributor is also arranged to promote the cyclohexane liquid to shower uniformly from the upper part to further react with the air overflowed from the upper part of the reaction section, so that the utilization rate of the raw materials is improved. The upper part of the liquid level in the reaction section is also provided with a plurality of layers of sieve plates, and the sieve plates can reduce the flow rate of gas at the top, thereby leading the cyclohexane which is dripped down to fully react with the cyclohexane. Therefore, the invention improves the conversion rate of raw materials and reduces the energy consumption required by the reaction by combining and applying the micro-interface generator and the sieve plate and specially setting the positions and the like of the micro-interface generator and the sieve plate.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the micro-interface generator used in the present invention is described in the prior patents of the present inventor, such as the patents of application numbers CN201610641119.6, CN201610641251.7, CN201710766435.0, CN106187660, CN105903425A, CN109437390A, CN205833127U and CN 207581700U. The detailed structure and operation principle of the micro bubble generator (i.e. micro interface generator) is described in detail in the prior patent CN201610641119.6, which describes that "the micro bubble generator comprises a body and a secondary crushing member, wherein the body is provided with a cavity, the body is provided with an inlet communicated with the cavity, the opposite first end and second end of the cavity are both open, and the cross-sectional area of the cavity decreases from the middle of the cavity to the first end and second end of the cavity; the secondary crushing member is disposed at least one of the first end and the second end of the cavity, a portion of the secondary crushing member is disposed within the cavity, and an annular passage is formed between the secondary crushing member and the through holes open at both ends of the cavity. The micron bubble generator also comprises an air inlet pipe and a liquid inlet pipe. "the specific working principle of the structure disclosed in the application document is as follows: liquid enters the micro-bubble generator tangentially through the liquid inlet pipe, and gas is rotated at a super high speed and cut to break gas bubbles into micro-bubbles at a micron level, so that the mass transfer area between a liquid phase and a gas phase is increased, and the micro-bubble generator in the patent belongs to a pneumatic micro-interface generator.

In fact, the micro-interface generator is a specific form of the micro-interface generator, whether it is a hydraulic micro-interface generator or a gas-liquid linkage micro-interface generator, however, the micro-interface generator adopted in the present invention is not limited to the above forms, and the specific structure of the bubble breaker described in the prior patent is only one of the forms that the micro-interface generator of the present invention can adopt.
Furthermore, the prior patent 201710766435.0 states that the principle of the bubble breaker is that high-speed jet flows are used to achieve mutual collision of gases, and also states that the bubble breaker can be used in a micro-interface strengthening reactor to verify the correlation between the bubble breaker and the micro-interface generator; moreover, in the prior patent CN106187660, there is a related description on the specific structure of the bubble breaker, see paragraphs [0031] to [0041] in the specification, and the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the specific working principle of the bubble breaker S-2 in detail, the top of the bubble breaker is a liquid phase inlet, and the side of the bubble breaker is a gas phase inlet, and the liquid phase coming from the top provides the entrainment power, so as to achieve the effect of breaking into ultra-fine bubbles, and in the accompanying drawings, the bubble breaker is also seen to be of a tapered structure, and the diameter of the upper part is larger than that of the lower part, and also for better providing the entrainment power for the liquid phase.
Since the micro-interface generator was just developed in the early stage of the prior patent application, the micro-interface generator was named as a micro-bubble generator (CN201610641119.6), a bubble breaker (201710766435.0) and the like in the early stage, and is named as a micro-interface generator in the later stage along with the continuous technical improvement, and the micro-interface generator in the present invention is equivalent to the micro-bubble generator, the bubble breaker and the like in the prior art, and has different names. In summary, the micro-interface generator of the present invention belongs to the prior art.
Preferably, the air inlet is connected with an air pipeline, the air pipeline is provided with a gas filter, and air flows into the reaction section after being filtered by the gas filter. The air is filtered and then sent to the reaction section, so that the micro-interface generator is effectively prevented from being blocked by impurities in the air.
Preferably, the material outlet is connected with a circulating external cooler, and the circulating external cooler is connected with the micro-interface generator; and one part of the material generated in the reaction section enters the separation section, and the other part of the material flows back to the micro-interface generator after being cooled by the circulating external cooler.
Preferably, the cyclohexane inlet is connected with a cyclohexane pipeline; the top of the separation section is connected with a reflux tank, the reflux tank is connected with the cyclohexane pipeline, and cyclohexane separated by the reflux tank returns to the reaction section for continuous reaction.
Preferably, the bottom of the separation section is connected with a condenser, and a product separated from the separation section is collected after being condensed by the condenser.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the system for preparing the cyclohexyl hydrogen peroxide by oxidizing the cyclohexane, which comprises the following steps:
