Description

Reactor for large-scale continuous production of PVB and continuous production method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical production equipment, relates to improvement of PVB production technology, and in particular relates to a reactor for large-scale continuous production of PVB and a continuous production method.
Background
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resins are polymeric compounds that are synthesized catalytically from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and n-butyraldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst, and which are in the form of white or pale yellow flowable powders or granules. PVB resins of different properties determine their suitable context, and high viscosity PVB resins are processed into PVB films, which are used as interlayers for safety glass interlayers, with their high viscosity properties to fix the glass in its intact form to the film surface. PVB resins of other properties are widely used in coating adhesives, ceramic decals, aluminum foil papers, and the like.
PVB is generally produced in a specific reactor or reactor, and is formed into a vortex in the reactor or reactor by adjusting the temperature, stirring speed, or the like.
At present, the stirring method is that after PVA and n-butyraldehyde react, the PVA and n-butyraldehyde start to be separated out in a solvent through different treatment processes, and certain external force interference needs to be applied in a separation stage, so that PVB is prevented from being separated out and adhered to form a block, and the subsequent treatment is not facilitated.
Chinese patent (application number 202021574543.1) discloses a closed enamel reactor for inorganic nano-modified PVB resin powder, which adopts a closed enamel reactor, wherein a filter screen type stirring blade in the reactor can reduce the possibility of caking in the reaction medium, but for part of resin, possibly due to vortex formed by stirring, the edge of the vortex is adhered to the inner surface of the reactor, and then separated out, the part of resin can be driven to fall into a solution due to less formation amount without contacting with the stirring blade, and the production quality of the subsequent PVB can be affected along with gradual accumulation.
Chinese patent (application number: 202020053572.7) discloses a high-speed mixing device for PVB raw materials, which adopts a mode of stirring and uniformly mixing PVB raw materials at an ultra-high speed, but along with the increase of stirring rate, raw material foam generated in the stirring process may be spread over the whole tank body, so that PVB is also partially separated out on the tank body and is difficult to reenter solution.
Chinese patent (application number: 202120036931.2) discloses an anti-sticking scraping plate of a reaction kettle, which is used for scraping and removing substances possibly adhered to the inner wall of the reaction kettle by an external magnetic adsorption device to adsorb a scraping knife inside the reaction kettle.
Chinese patent (application number: 202110842040.0) discloses a reaction kettle with anti-adhesion function for non-finished petroleum production, which scrapes off raw materials adhered to the inner wall of the reaction kettle in the stirring process in a mode of internally arranging a mechanical scraping plate, so that the raw materials are prevented from adhering to the inner wall. Although the two measures can solve the problem of raw material sticking to the wall, the use of the mechanical mechanism can generate certain loss on the inner wall of the reaction kettle.
At present, most of existing reaction devices related to PVB preparation are reaction kettles or other similar reactors and improved equipment, different raw materials are added at different stages, and meanwhile, certain external force influence (such as stirring and the like) is applied in the whole process to reduce agglomeration of resin in the reaction process. At present, in the PVB production process, an integrated reactor is adopted to complete the reaction, and equipment and production technology for large-scale PVB production are less disclosed.
Therefore, how to design a reactor for large-scale continuous production of PVB and a continuous production method can realize continuous production of PVB, and resin wall sticking and loss to the reactor wall are reduced in the production process.
