Embodiment 4: the mechanical stability of chlorinated resin
The special characteristic of the mechanical stability of strong-acid ion exchange resin is the deformability of catalyst bead in the fixed bed catalyst filling that is caused by directed flow.This deformability is called as compressibility.
Directed flow can make the ion exchange resin distortion, and the void volume in the catalyst filling can reduce (referring to Fig. 2) like this.
Those skilled in the art know that the minimizing of catalyst filling hollow volume can improve flow velocity, and therefore increase the pressure drop of whole catalyst filling.
Usually, the quadratic power of pressure drop in the reactor and flow velocity is in direct ratio:
dp~w
2
Wherein dp=pressure drop
The w=flow velocity
Mean flow rate in the fixed-bed reactor depends on void volume, and equation is as follows
wk=w/εk
The mean flow rate in the wk=fixed-bed reactor wherein
ε k=void volume
Void volume ε k in the globular ion exchange resin of filling is about 0.33.The compressibility of 1cm/m described in this embodiment makes void volume ε k reduce by 0.01.
Measure compressibility in the instrument of in as Fig. 3, describing 30.
Bed ion weighting material 31 places round cylinder 32, and this circle cylinder has screening top 33, is full of in the buret 34 of water on stacking it in this screening top then.In check power is applied to fixed bed by moving circle cylinder 35 from following (shown in the arrow 36), thus compression fixed bed 31.
The volume of measuring the water that is occurred on the catalyzer weighting material is measured the amount of this water.The compressibility of ion exchange resin can be determined by following equation:
The common average compressibility of strongly-acid list sulfonated cation exchange resin is 3 to 3.5cm/m.
Storng-acid cation exchange resin is Amberlyst for example
TM36 or Amberlyst
TM38 since its higher sulfonation and more stable to high temperature, its compressibility can increase by 50%, promptly increases to about 4.5cm/m.On the contrary, sulfonation of strongly-acid list and chlorating Zeo-karb are mechanically stables, so that their compressibility is low to moderate 2.4 to 2.7cm/m.
Pd mixes and does not show compressible influence.The compressibility of finding single sulfonation of the present invention, chlorination, the adulterated resin of Pd is 2.4 to 2.7cm/m.
According to the present invention,, the influence of pressure drop has been reduced about 15% with respect to many sulfonation catalysts.
The results are compiled in the table 6,
Wherein
