Abstract
Description
(反応装置100の構成)
以下、本発明の一実施形態について、詳細に説明する。図1は、実施形態1に係る反応装置100を底面に垂直な平面で切断したときの断面図である。反応装置100は、原料ガス31の主成分よりも沸点の高い成分を生成物に含み、気相での反応の進行が原料-生成物間の化学平衡により制約される反応を行うための化学反応装置である。
CO2+3H2⇔CH3OH+H2O ・・・(2)
CO2+H2⇔CO+H2O ・・・(3)
その他、ジメチルエーテルまたはアンモニアを生成物として生じる反応を行うために反応装置100を用いることもできる。
原料ガス31は、触媒層3の上部に設けられた原料ガス入口35から供給され、触媒層3に充填されている触媒30と接触することにより反応が進行する。反応により生成した反応ガス32は、透過壁40を通過して空間4に進む。その後、反応ガス32が第2熱交換壁50で反応ガス32の露点以下に冷却されることにより、生成物が凝縮される。凝縮し、液化した生成物は、凝縮液貯留部47に落下し、凝縮液回収口46を介して、凝縮液41として回収される。
第1熱媒21は、例えば、2.2~5.0MPaGのボイラ水として第1熱媒供給口25から供給される。発熱反応の場合、触媒層3で生じた反応熱は、第1熱交換壁20を介して熱交換され、第1熱媒21に回収される。第1熱媒21は、第1熱媒回収口26を通り、高圧スチーム分離ドラム(図示せず)に回収される。その後、気液分離されて得られる高圧蒸気は、例えば、原料を圧縮するための動力源として利用される。
以上のように、実施形態1の反応装置100は、原料ガス31よりも沸点の高い成分を生成物に含み、気相での反応の進行が原料-生成物間の化学平衡により制約される反応を進行させる化学反応装置である。また、実施形態1の化学反応方法は、反応装置100を使用した方法である。反応装置100は、原料ガス31が供給され、前記反応を促進する触媒30と、反応ガス32の透過が可能な透過壁40と、第1熱交換部22と、第2熱交換部52とを備えている。第1熱交換部22は、透過壁40とは触媒30を挟んで反対側に位置しており、第2熱交換部52は、透過壁40と空間4を隔てて配置されている。第2熱交換部52には、第2熱交換部52の、空間4側の表面の温度が反応ガス32の露点以下の温度に維持されるように第2熱媒51が流通される。空間4内で凝縮した液体(凝縮液)41は、落下し、原料ガス31から分離される。第1熱交換部22の触媒30と接する側の表面の温度が前記反応ガス32の露点より高い温度に維持されるように、第1熱交換部22に第1熱媒21が流通される。
本発明の他の実施形態について以下に説明する。なお、説明の便宜上、実施形態1にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を繰り返さない。
図2に示されるように、反応装置100Aは、反応容器1Aの内部に複数の反応管10Aを備えている。反応容器1Aの内部に設けられる反応管10Aの数は、特に限定されず、1つ以上であればよい。反応の効率を考慮すると、反応管10Aの数は、複数であることが好ましい。複数の反応管10Aの上側には、各反応管10Aに供給される原料ガス31が充満する原料ガス供給部37Aが形成されている。複数の反応管10Aの下側には、反応管10Aの内部で凝縮した液体および、触媒層3Aを通過したガスを貯留する貯留部48Aが形成されている。貯留部48Aの下側には、後述する第2熱交換部52Aから排出された第2熱媒51を貯留する第2熱媒回収部58Aが形成されている。さらにその下側には、第2熱交換部52Aに供給される第2熱媒51を貯留する第2熱媒供給部57Aが形成されている。前記各部は、金属板、例えば、ステンレス製の板で反応容器1Aの内部空間を区切ることによって形成されている。
原料ガス31は、原料ガス入口35Aから供給され、開口部38Aを通して、反応管10A内の触媒層3Aに供給される。触媒層3A内で原料ガス31と触媒30とが接触することにより反応が進行する。反応により生成した反応ガス32は、内筒40Aを通過して空間4Aに進み、第2熱交換壁50Aの外側壁面(第2熱交換面)で反応ガス32の露点以下に冷却されることにより、生成物が凝縮される。凝縮し、液化した生成物は、空間4Aおよび凝縮液流通管42Aを通り、凝縮液貯留部47Aに落下する。凝縮液貯留部47Aに貯留された凝縮液41は、凝縮液回収口46Aを介して、回収される。

hAが過小の場合、反応ガスの一部が空間4Aおよび凝縮液貯留部47Aを通って凝縮液回収口46Aから凝縮液とともに流出し、触媒30との接触効率が低下する可能性がある。hAが過大の場合、反応容器の高さが大きくなるとともに、空間4Aの圧力が触媒層3Aの圧力より大きくなり、触媒層3Aから空間4Aへの生成物の移動を妨げる可能性がある。
第1熱媒21は、第1熱媒供給口25Aから第1熱交換部22Aに供給される。触媒層3Aで生じた反応熱は、外筒20Aを介して熱交換され、第1熱媒21に回収される。第1熱媒21は、第1熱媒回収口26Aを通り、高圧スチーム分離ドラム(図示せず)に回収される。その後、気液分離されて得られる高圧蒸気は、例えば、原料を圧縮するための動力源として利用される。
以上のように、反応装置100Aは、原料ガス31よりも沸点の高い成分を生成物に含み、気相での反応の進行が原料-生成物間の化学平衡により制約される反応を内部で進行させる多重構造の反応管10Aを少なくとも1つ含む、反応容器1Aを備えている。反応管10Aのそれぞれは、前記反応で生じた反応ガス32の透過が可能な内筒40Aと、内筒40Aが内部に設けられた、第1熱交換部22Aを構成する外筒20Aと、内筒40Aの内部に設けられた第2熱交換部52Aとを備えている。内筒40Aと外筒20Aとの間に配置された触媒層3Aに対して原料ガス31が供給される。第2熱交換部52Aには、第2熱交換部52Aの外側表面の温度が前記反応ガス32の露点以下の温度に維持されるように第2熱媒51が流通される。第2熱交換部52Aと内筒40Aとの間に形成された空間4A(第1空間)内で凝縮した液体は、落下し、前記原料ガスから分離される。さらに、外筒20Aの内側表面の温度が前記反応ガス32の露点より高い温度に維持されるように、外筒20Aの外側に第1熱媒21が流通される。
本発明の他の実施形態について以下に説明する。実施形態2は、図2から分かるように、凝縮熱を回収するための第2熱媒51と比較して、反応熱を回収するための第1熱媒21を大量に利用することができる。つまり、実施形態2の反応装置100Aは、反応熱の除去が重要な反応系において、有利な構成である。
図5および図6に示されるように、反応装置100Bは、反応容器1Bの内部に複数の反応管10Bを備えている。反応容器1Bの内部に設けられる反応管10Bの数は、特に限定されず、1つ以上であればよい。反応の効率を考慮すると、反応管10Bの数は、複数であることが好ましい。複数の反応管10Bの上側には、各反応管10Bに供給される原料ガス31が充満する原料ガス供給部37Bが形成されている。複数の反応管10Bの下側には、反応管10Bの内部で凝縮した液体を貯留するための凝縮液貯留部47B(液体貯留部)が形成されている。凝縮液貯留部47Bの下側には、触媒層3Bを通過したガスを貯留するガス回収部48Bが形成されている。ガス回収部48Bの下側には、後述する第1熱交換部22Bから排出された第1熱媒21を貯留する第1熱媒回収部28Bが形成されている。さらにその下側には、第1熱交換部22Bに供給される第1熱媒21を貯留する第1熱媒供給部27Bが形成されている。前記各部は、金属板、例えば、ステンレス製の板で反応容器1Bの内部空間を区切ることによって形成されている。
原料ガス31は、原料ガス入口35Bから供給され、開口部38Bを通して、反応管10B内の触媒層3Bに供給される。触媒層3B内で原料ガス31と触媒30とが接触することにより反応が進行する。反応により生成した反応ガス32は、内筒40Bを通過して空間4Bに進み、外筒50Bの内側壁面(第2熱交換面)で反応ガス32の露点以下に冷却されることにより、生成物が凝縮される。凝縮し、液化した生成物は、空間4Bを通り、凝縮液貯留部47Bに落下する。凝縮液貯留部47Bに貯留された凝縮液41は、凝縮液回収口46Bを介して、回収される。

hBが過小の場合、反応ガス32の一部が空間4Bおよび凝縮液貯留部47Bを通って凝縮液回収口46Bから凝縮液とともに流出し、触媒30との接触効率が低下する可能性がある。hBが過大の場合、反応容器の高さが大きくなるとともに、空間4Bの圧力が触媒層3Bの圧力より大きくなり、触媒層3Bから空間4Bへの生成物の物質移動を妨げる可能性がある。
第1熱媒21は、第1熱媒供給口25Bから第1熱媒供給部27Bに供給された後、第1熱交換部22Bに供給される。触媒層3Bで生じた反応熱は、第1熱交換壁20Bを介して熱交換され、第1熱媒21に回収される。第1熱媒21は、第1熱媒回収口26Bを通り、高圧スチーム分離ドラム(図示せず)に回収される。その後、気液分離されて得られる高圧蒸気は、例えば、原料を圧縮するための動力源として利用される。
以上のように、実施形態3の反応装置100Bは、原料ガス31よりも沸点の高い成分を生成物に含み、気相での反応の進行が原料-生成物間の化学平衡により制約される反応を内部で進行させる多重構造の反応管10Bを少なくとも1つ含む反応容器1Bを備える。反応管10Bのそれぞれは、反応ガス32の透過が可能な内筒40Bと、内筒40Bの内部に設けられた第1熱交換部22Bと、内筒40Bが内部に設けられた、第2熱交換部52Bを構成する外筒50Bとを備えている。内筒40Bと第1熱交換部22Bとの間に配置された触媒層3Bに対して原料ガス31が供給される。外筒50Bの内側表面の温度が反応ガス32の露点以下の温度に維持されるように、外筒50Bの外側に第2熱媒51が流通される。内筒40Bと外筒50Bとの間に形成された空間(第1空間)4B内で凝縮した液体は落下し、原料ガス31から分離される。第1熱交換部22Bには、第1熱交換部22Bの表面の温度が反応ガス32の露点より高い温度に維持されるよう第1熱媒21が流通される。
