Description

Hydrogenation reactor for preparing methyl propionate
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a hydrogenation reactor for preparing methyl propionate.
Background
Methyl propionate (molecular formula: CH 3CH2COOCH3) is a key intermediate in the process of synthesizing methyl methacrylate by using methyl acetate and methanol, and the reaction process involved is as follows:
CH3OH+1/2O2→HCHO+H2O
CH3- COOCH3+HCHO →CH2=HC-COOCH3+H2O
CH2=HC-COOCH3+H2→CH3CH2COOCH3
CH3CH2-COOCH3+HCHO→CH2=C(CH3)COOCH3+H2O
The methyl propionate is obtained by hydrogenation reaction of acrylic ester and hydrogen under the action of a catalyst, and the reaction efficiency is highly dependent on contact with the catalyst because the reaction raw material contains gas, and the catalyst in the existing single reactor is a single-layer catalytic bed, so that the catalyst consumption is high, the reaction efficiency is low, and a plurality of reactors are needed to be used alternately to improve the reaction efficiency.
The improvement mode adopted at present is to find a novel catalyst (CN 2018106762420) and adopt a physical-liquid circulation method to improve the conversion efficiency (CN 2014107842481). However, the improvement method has the problems of large research and development investment and complex equipment transformation.

After the material inlet is connected with the hydrogen gas source and the feeding pipeline, the hydrogen raw material enters from the inner cylindrical inlet, the liquid acrylic ester enters from the outer cylindrical inlet, the liquid raw material can form a certain degree of wrapping and clamping on the gas raw material, and the gas raw material can form good fusion at the initial stage of entering the catalyst bed layer, thereby being beneficial to improving the reaction efficiency. In addition, more catalyst beds are provided than in the prior art, thereby improving the reaction efficiency. The gas-liquid distribution plate can uniformly distribute incoming materials, so that the incoming materials uniformly enter the catalyst along the surface layer of the catalyst, and the phenomenon that channeling occurs in the middle of the catalyst bed body to affect the catalytic efficiency is avoided.
The inner cylindrical inlet and the outer cylindrical inlet each comprise a cylindrical part and a flare part connected to one end of the cylindrical part, the flare part is positioned in the shell, one side with a larger opening diameter faces the inside of the hydrogenation reactor, and the cylindrical part extends out of the shell. The larger side of horn mouth opening diameter is inside towards hydrogenation reactor, can reduce the inside speed of material especially liquid material entering reactor to a certain extent, and increases the area that the material contacted the catalyst, can improve catalytic reaction efficiency.
Further, a guide rib is provided on the inner wall of the flare portion of the cylindrical inlet, and an extension line of the guide rib intersects with the central axis of the cylindrical inlet. In this way, the flow guiding function can be achieved.
Further, the catalyst bed layers are two parallel layers, and are respectively used as a first catalyst bed layer and a second catalyst bed layer from top to bottom. The catalyst bed layer is optimally provided with two layers in view of comprehensive cost and reaction efficiency.
Further, the cross-sectional area of the first catalyst bed is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second catalyst bed. Thus, a gap is reserved between the first catalyst bed and the inner wall of the hydrogenation reactor, so that gas-liquid materials can enter the lower material buffer cavity directly through the gap and contact with the second catalyst bed with larger cross-sectional area, and the overall conversion rate is improved.
Further, the gas-liquid distribution plate comprises a porous chassis, a short column vertically arranged on the upper surface of the porous chassis and a flow guide cap arranged at the upper end of the short column, and the top end of the flow guide cap is arc-shaped. In this way, the flow guiding function can be achieved.
Further, the flow guiding cap is in threaded connection with the short column. Thus, the disassembly and the maintenance are convenient.
Further, the material outlet is provided with a material collector. In this way, the flow guiding function can be achieved, and the discharge of products is promoted.
The beneficial effects are that: the hydrogenation reactor is provided with a plurality of gas-liquid distribution plates and a catalyst bed layer, so that the hydrogenation reactor has higher reaction efficiency compared with a single-layer catalyst bed layer in the prior art, the service life of the whole catalyst is longer, the main structure of the equipment is not modified, and the modification investment of the equipment is small; by providing the coaxial inner cylindrical inlet and outer cylindrical inlet, the gas-liquid raw material can be well fused at the initial stage of entering the catalyst bed, which contributes to the improvement of the reaction efficiency.

Detailed Description
The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The catalyst beds are installed by adopting a conventional technology.
The material inlet 2 comprises an inner cylindrical inlet 21 for connecting a hydrogen gas source and an outer cylindrical inlet 22 for connecting an acrylic ester supply pipeline, which are coaxially arranged, wherein the inner cylindrical inlet 21 and the outer cylindrical inlet 22 are nested to form an annular inner channel and an annular outer channel, and the inner cylindrical inlet 21 and the outer cylindrical inlet 22 are welded by a connecting rod made of corrosion-resistant materials. Each cylindrical inlet comprises a cylindrical part and a flare part 23 welded at one end of the cylindrical part, the flare part 23 is positioned in the shell 1, one side with a larger opening diameter faces the inside of the hydrogenation reactor, the cylindrical part extends out of the shell 1, and the outermost outer wall of the cylindrical part is welded with the shell 1. When the material inlet 2 is installed, the detachable shell 1 can be detached, then the material inlet 2 is placed in the shell 1, and the cylindrical part extends out of the upper end opening of the shell for welding. Stainless steel guide ribs 24 are welded to the inner wall of the flare portion 23 of the cylindrical inlet, and the extension lines of the guide ribs 24 intersect with the central axis of the cylindrical inlet.
The thicknesses of the first catalyst bed 5 and the second catalyst bed 6 are the same, the cross-sectional area of the first catalyst bed 5 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the second catalyst bed 6 (the volume of the first catalyst bed 5 is smaller than the volume of the second catalyst bed 6), namely a gap exists between the first catalyst bed 5 and the inner wall of the shell 1 (hydrogenation reactor), so that gas-liquid materials can directly enter the lower material buffer cavity 7 through the gap; the material buffer cavity 7 can contain gas-liquid materials which do not participate in the reaction, especially gas materials, and the gas-liquid materials enter the second catalyst bed 6 again uniformly under the action of the gas-liquid distribution plate 4 below to carry out the catalytic hydrogenation reaction. Specifically, in the first catalyst bed 5, the concentration of the raw materials is higher, the reaction is more intense, the reaction intensity of the part where the raw materials are located can be slowed down by the smaller volume, and then the raw materials are balanced by the second catalyst bed 6. The concentration of the materials participating in the reaction in the second catalyst bed 6 is relatively smaller, and the particles of the catalyst can be selected to be larger in size so as to facilitate the flow of the materials, and the gas-liquid materials which do not participate in the reaction can be fully received by setting the larger cross-sectional area, so that the overall conversion rate is improved.
The gas-liquid distribution plate 4 comprises a porous chassis 41, a short column 42 vertically arranged on the upper surface of the porous chassis 41 and a flow guide cap 43 arranged at the upper end of the short column 42 and bent towards the porous chassis 41, the top end of the flow guide cap 43 is arc-shaped, and the flow guide cap 43 is in threaded connection with the short column 42, so that the gas-liquid distribution plate is convenient to detach, overhaul and replace.
