The present invention relates to be equipped with the temperature-controlled process of the liquid-phase polymerization device of reflux condenser (lower abbreviation condenser).
The problem that reduces in order to solve heat transfer coefficient, condensable vapours or gas are to emit off and on from reactor at distance reactor condenser position far away in the mode that the steam of new condensation or gas are not shunted. Use the method, owing to replaced by steam or the gas of new condensation at condensable vapours or the gas of the noncondensable gas that contains high concentration of tube surface, so improved the heat transfer coefficient of condenser, also reduced the volume of condenser simultaneously.
Yet, generally when monomer vapor when condenser discharges because the heat transfer coefficient flip-flop, the temperature in the reactor can reduce the temperature that cause in chuck and the reactor suddenly and produce very big change.The result causes control to become unstable and makes the uncontrollable danger of reaction.The unexpected increase of the heat of being removed can make the reaction liquid foaming and overflow into condenser.This overflow can cause operational issue, is aggregated that incrustation stops up and as the quality product deterioration of flake and so on as the pipeline between condenser internal surface incrustation, reactor and the condenser.
For example, use vinylchlorid that condenser is arranged be aggregated in operation in the time of about 3 hours after and about 10 minutes monomer vapor discharging, its heat transfer coefficient rises to 700Kcal/m
2Hr ℃, but the flip-flop of this coefficient makes the temperature reduction suddenly in the reactor can cause above-mentioned danger.
So the temperature with the water coolant of condenser in the system of heat transfer coefficient flip-flop can not accurately be controlled as the conventional control method of controlled variable.
Used in the present invention control method is to measure flow rate and its import and export temperature (T of water coolant (F)
2) and (T
3), be calculated as follows the heat that the device that is condensed is removed:
Q
RC=C
p·ρ·F(T
3-T
2)
(C in the formula
pBe specific heat, ρ is a density), and with the value of gained as controlled variable.
Method provided by the invention is as follows: in the polymerization of using condenser, the method for temperature in the controlling reactor is characterised in that said temperature is also to give off a part of unreacted monomer from reflux exchanger off and on the heat that condenser is removed as controlled variable to control.
Fig. 1 is one embodiment of the invention, in order to the control of the condenser that polyreaction is installed to be described.In Fig. 1, (1) is polymerization reactor; (2) be reflux exchanger; (3) and (4) be the cooling water control valve; (5) be unreacted gas emitting valve; (6) be the unreacting gas retrieving arrangement; (7) be cooling tower; (8) be the chilled(cooling) water supply (CWS) pump; (9) and (10) be cooling water circulating pump.
In the present invention, have from the method for the unreacted monomer vapor of condenser (a 2) intermittently discharged part: with time variable control one of a timed interval discharging of determining the short time simple method and read the method for the reading of water cooler heat extraction amount controller (QRC/5) in definite timed interval, as long as reading does not reach set(ting)value, discharging will be proceeded the time of a weak point.
In the present invention, the control of temperature of reactor (annotation of translation: i.e. temperature in the reactor) is that the output valve that set(ting)value with reactor jacket temperature controller (TRC/6) is set in temperature of reactor controller (TRC/1) is carried out.In other words, the cascade between available TRC/1 and QRC/5 controls controlled temperature.In addition, also the set(ting)value of condenser heat extraction heat controller (TRC/5) can be set in the output valve of TRC/1 or the output valve that the two set(ting)value of TRC/6 and TRC/5 is set in TRC/1 controlled.For the temperature and the flow rate of control condenser cooling water, the set(ting)value of condenser cooling water temperature out controller (TRC/3) or condenser cooling water inlet temperature controller (TRC/2) or condenser cooling water flow rate controller (FRC/4) is set in the output valve of QRC/5.
For example, adopt the set(ting)value of QRC/5 to be set in the output valve of TRC/1, and then, just can reach rapidly and the control of high stable with the cascade connection type control method that the output valve of QRC/5 is regulated cooling water control valve (3).
In addition, adopt the output valve that the set(ting)value of TRC/2, TRC/3 or FRC/4 is set in QRC/5, and then regulate said valve (3), can improve controllability widely with the output valve of TRC/2, TRC/3 or FRC/4.
For unreacted monomer, continuous blow-down has increased the amount of gaseous emission, has consequently reduced the transformation efficiency and the productivity of reaction, has also increased the cost of the monomer compression purifying that reclaims simultaneously, so quantity discharged should be greater than required amount.For fear of too much quantity discharged, discharging answers intermittent type ground to carry out.For example Pai Fang limiting time is preferably 0.5 second to 20 minutes, preferably 30 seconds to the 2 hours timed interval of qualification.So just can guarantee to be not less than 500Kcal/m
2Hr ℃ high heat transfer coefficient.
As for discharging number of times and vapor discharge speed, with regard to unhinderedly obtaining the necessary heat transfer coefficient of heat extraction, preferably the vapor volume with discharging minimizes.Constantly check the reading of set(ting)value and QRC/5 and only when reading reaches set(ting)value, do not discharge with computer, the vapor volume of discharging is reduced in a large number and reach the stable purpose of controlling.Checked the heat that the device that once is condensed is removed in preferably every 1-30 minute.The timed interval is unwanted less than 1 minute frequent inspection, and such inspection also is disadvantageous with regard to the runtime of computer; If but, just relatively large discharging need be arranged interval greater than 30 minutes, could make control be tending towards unstable.Drain time is preferably 0.5 second to 5 minutes, owing to there being the response valve time to make discharging not enough, probably makes control become unstable greater than 5 minutes during less than 0.5 second.The gaseous emission rate is preferably at per unit body (m
3) in the scope of polymerization reactor 10-500Kg/hr, ER for emission rate is lower than 10Kg/m
3Effect is less during hr, greater than 500Kg/m
3May be stopped up by reaction product owing to foaming makes outfall pipeline during hr, the preferential especially ER for emission rate scope of selecting is 100-200Kg/m
3Hr.
The control method of polymerization reactor of the present invention can be used for any liquid-phase reaction system, comprises for example divinyl letex polymerization, vinylchlorid suspension or the equal polymerization of emulsion or copolymerization, vinylidene chloride letex polymerization, vinylbenzene or systems such as propylene class monomer block, suspension or letex polymerization.
If the present invention is used to be lower than the low pressure system of barometric point, just a reliever should be installed in unreacting gas recovery system (6).
" condensable steam or gas " i.e. is the steam or the gas of energy condensation in reflux exchanger, and the setting of this reflux exchanger is in order to remove the heat of polymerization that liquid phase reaction produces.The steam of monomer itself for example, the solvent vapour during solution polymerization adds the steam of the boiling reagent in the reaction system.
Now the present invention will be described with following each embodiment.
