Background technology
At present, producing the hydrogen peroxide majority both at home and abroad adopts anthraquinone.This method production process is: in the presence of catalyzer, under certain temperature and pressure, alkyl-anthraquinone (hereinafter to be referred as anthraquinone) and hydrogen reaction in the working fluid (organic solution that alkyl-anthraquinone and mixed organic solvents are made into by a certain percentage), generate corresponding hydrogen anthraquinone, this moment, working fluid was called hydride, hydrogen anthraquinone in the hydride and oxygen reaction, generate primary anthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide, hydride becomes oxidation liquid simultaneously, oxidation liquid obtains aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution through the pure water extraction, and raffinate circulates after treatment and returns hydrogenation process.

The main chemical reactions and the principle of process for prepairng hydrogen peroxide by anthraquinone are basic identical both at home and abroad, but concrete technical scheme difference, the key distinction is the difference of working fluid composition, hydrogenation catalyst and hydrogenation mode.What the hydrogenation mode was commonly used is fixed-bed process and fluidized-bed process.
Compare with fixed-bed process, in fluidized-bed process, because working fluid and hydrogen is suspended in catalyzer wherein, catalyzer utilising efficiency height, consumption is few, consumption is low, and reactor volume is little, and hydrogenation efficiency is higher.
In Patent data GB 718,307, the hydrogenation of anthraquinone is to carry out in the bubble column fluidized-bed, and the tubulose inner member wherein is housed, and hydrogen is introduced from the bottom of each root, mixes with the mobile working fluid that makes progress in pipe then, enters reactor by a sparger.The shortcoming of this technology is that device structure is complicated, and mass flow between each inner member pipe and pressure equilibrium are difficult to control.
Propose the hydrogenation process carry out in the special bubble column fluidized-bed of wire packing is housed among the Patent data CN 1,298,369, hydrogen, is discharged from reactor from bottom introducing reactor then with after the working fluid that contains suspended catalyst mixes in mixing nozzle.Owing to wire packing is housed in the fluidized-bed of this technology, influenced the fluidization of catalyzer greatly, make catalyzer skewness in bed, influenced the utilising efficiency of catalyzer.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides the novel hydrogenated technology of a kind of process for prepairng hydrogen peroxide by anthraquinone.This technology is a kind of efficient gas-liquid-solid phase reaction technology.Technical scheme of the present invention is, hydrogenation carries out in fluidized-bed, it is characterized in that adopting top to have the void tower hydrogenation reactor that amplifies section, working fluid and hydrogen move upward with certain speed, powdered catalyst is suspended in the tower body finishes hydrogenation by freely contacting, hydride enters oxidation section after Separate System of Water-jet separation and filtration system filters.The reactor of this technology is a void tower, and the bottom is the main body conversion zone, and top is for amplifying settling section, and catalyzer is more evenly distributed in bed, and the utilising efficiency of catalyzer is higher, so hydrogenation rate is fast, efficient is high.Accompanying drawing is this hydrogenation process schematic flow sheet.Operation after the hydrogenation, other processes of mixing the method preparing hydrogen peroxide with anthracene are identical.
The present invention realizes in the following manner: working fluid and hydrogen enter hydrogenation reactor 1 bottom through liquid distributor 3 and gas distributor 2 respectively, under certain temperature and pressure, anthraquinone in the working fluid and hydrogen, in the presence of the powdered catalyst that freely suspends, reaction generates the hydrogen anthraquinone.After hydrogenation was finished, hydride was through the amplification section on hydrogenation reactor 1 top, and most of catalyst sedimentation wherein, small part not sedimentation catalyzer, the unreacted hydrogen of residue and hydride enter gas-liquid separator 4 in the lump and carry out solution-air and separate.Separated hydrogen, small part emptying, all the other enter hydrogenation reactor 1 bottom with fresh hydrogen through gas distributor 2; Enter filtering system from the gas-liquid separator 4 isolated hydrides that contain little amount of catalyst, filter through filter 5 or 6, the catalyzer detention is filtered the back hydride and is entered hydride storage tank 9 in filtering system.
The strainer cleaning way is a scavenging solution recoil mode, and scavenging solution can be working fluid or hydride.Scavenging solution enters the strainer that is in the cleaning state from scavenging solution storage tank 7 through cleaning liquid pump 8, rinses out the catalyzer that is attached on the filtration medium, and the scavenging solution that contains catalyzer returns hydrogenation reactor 1 bottom.The scavenging solution flow is 0.1/1~0.9/1 with the ratio of working fluid flow, preferred 0.2/1~0.7/1.
For making the production serialization, filtering system preferably is made up of two groups or more strainer, and wherein at least one group (as accompanying drawing middle filtrator 5) is in the filtration state, separates the catalyzer of carrying secretly in the hydride; Other groups (as accompanying drawing middle filtrator 6) are in the backwash state, and the catalyst wash of detention is returned hydrogenation reactor 1, continue to use, and this two condition can be realized regularly automaticallying switch by valve.
The hydrogenation reactor of technology of the present invention is a heat-insulating, and the reactor interior reaction temperature is mediated by preheating of advancing a working fluid or precooling.This hydrogenation reactor divides two sections: hypomere main body conversion zone and epimere amplify settling section, and main body conversion zone aspect ratio is 10/1~100/1, and be preferred 15/1~30/1, and amplifying settling section is 2/1~5/1 with conversion zone diameter ratio, and preferred 4/1~5/1.
