MAXIMIZING SELECTIVITY OF LIQUID-LIQUID REACTION SYSTEMS. CONTROL OF THE DISPERSION PROCESS

Currently available information on droplet coalescence and break-up rates in turbulent flows in mixing vessels can be used to control drop sizes in dispersed phase equipment. The effect of drop size distributions on the selectivity and productivity in multi-reaction systems is examined in this paper.

The reaction system features the primary desired product (C) as resulting from reaction (in the bulk phase) between a reactant (A) in the drop phase and a second reactant (B) in the bulk phase. An adverse reaction is also envisaged which consumes (C) by further reaction with (B) to form a waste product. While small drops promote conversion because of large interfacial area, larger drops promote selectivity because of the facility of the product to re-enter the drop phase avoiding further reaction (to form waste) in the bulk phase. The effect of the bivariate distribution of drop size and reactant (A) concentration in the feed to a continuous stirred tank reactor on the selectivity and productivity of (C) is investigated within the framework of film theory while neglecting drop dynamics such as coalescence and break-up.

The results show the selectivity can be substantially improved by controlling drop size and distribution of the reactants among the differently sized droplets. Contrary to conventional wisdom which emphasizes creation of interfacial area by promoting very small droplets, it emerges that optimal distributions of drop size and reactant concentration which maximize productivity of the desired product exist. The practical implications are discussed.

Hydrodynamics and liquid phase axial mixing in orifice pipe reactor

Two phase flow in a horizontal pipe, with orifice plates placed at regular intervals as obstructions, was studied for the effect of phase velocities on flow patterns, fractional phase hold-ups, pressure drop and liquid phase axial dispersion. Radioactive technetium-99m (as an aqueous solution of sodium pertechnatate) was used as tracer. A pulse injection technique with two point measurements was employed. Three different orifice diameters were used (8 mm, 16 mm, and 20 mm) in a pipe diameter of 32 mm. The orifice spacing was 500 mm in all cases. Superficial gas (air) velocity was varied over a range from 0.02 m/s to 1.0 m/s and superficial liquid (water) velocity from 0.03 m/s to 0.85 m/s. Different flow patterns under different flow conditions were identified and a generalised flow map is presented. Variations in hold-ups and pressure drop with flow patterns have been explained. Rational correlations have been developed for fractional phase hold-ups and pressure drop. A preliminary comparison of two phase gas-liquid flow in a horizontal pipe with orifice obstructions (to be called orifice pipe reactor), as a gas-liquid contacting device, is made with a conventional bubble column reactor. Recommendations have been made for future work.

Phase holdup and liquid dispersion in gas-liquid-solid circulating fluidized beds

Axial and radial profiles of gas and solids holdups have been studied in agas-liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed at 140mm i.d..Experimental results indicate that the axialand radial profiles of gas and solids holdups are more uniform than those in a conventionalfluidized bed.Axial and radial liquid dispersion coefficients in the gas-liquid-solid circulating fluidizedbed are investigated for the first time.It is found that axial and radial liquid dispersioncoefficients increases with increaes in gas velocity and solids holdup.The liquid velocity has littleinfluence on the axial liquid dispersion coefficient,but would adversely affect the redial liquiddispersion coefficient.It can be concluded that the gas-liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed hasadvantages such as better interphase contact and lower liquid dispersion along the axial directionover the expanded bed.     

硅疏水改性聚胺阻垢剂的制备及其性能

用γ-缩水甘油醚氧丙基三甲氧基硅烷(KH560)、1-氯辛烷对低相对分子质量聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)进行疏水接枝改性,得到了含硅疏水改性聚胺阻垢剂。通过FTIR、TG、粒径分析、Zeta电位测试等分析改性后聚胺阻垢剂的结构与性能。结果表明,改性后产物热稳定性提高、黏度增大、表面张力降低、溶液粒径增大。将改性聚胺阻垢剂用于分散铝硅酸钠颗粒,对处理前后的颗粒进行红外光谱表征,并通过对悬浮分散液进行稳定性、颗粒沉降等测试,评价聚胺阻垢剂的阻垢分散性能并初步讨论其分散机理。当m(PEI, M_w=10000)∶m(KH560)∶m(1-氯辛烷)=10∶2∶0.5,反应时间6 h,反应温度75℃时,合成的阻垢剂分散性能最佳。当结疤的质量浓度为30 g/L时,悬浮液颗粒沉降速度达到最低值0.047 cm/d,沉降速率减小程度达到94.8%,分散性显著提高。经过改性后的PEI在氧化铝工业生产中具有高效的阻垢作用,可通过在工厂进行条件优化,进一步替代传统的强酸型阻垢剂,减小管道腐蚀程度,降低能耗。

Desulfurization of commercial fuels by π-complexation: Monolayer CuCl/γ-Al2O3

Monolayer CuCl/γ-Al₂O₃ sorbent was studied for desulfurization of a commercial jet fuel (364.3 ppmw S) and a commercial diesel (140 ppmw S). The sorbent was prepared by means of spontaneous monolayer dispersion methods. Deep desulfurization (sulfur levels of <1 ppmw) was accomplished with this sorbent using a fixed-bed adsorber. The CuCl/γ-Al₂O₃ sorbent was capable of removing 6.4 and 11.2 mg of sulfur per gram for jet fuel at breakthrough (at <1 ppmw S) and saturation, respectively. The same sorbent was capable of removing 0.94 and 1.8 mg of sulfur per gram for BP diesel at breakthrough and saturation, respectively. The difference in sulfur capacities for jet fuel and diesel was apparently caused by the difference in concentrations of strongly binding compounds, such as nitrogen heterocycles, heavy (polynuclear) aromatics and fuel additives. In comparison with CuCl/γ-Al₂O₃, Cu(I)Y zeolite has higher sulfur capacities but is less stable and can be easily oxidized to Cu(II)Y by fuel additives (such as oxygenates) and moisture and consequently loses π-complexation ability. However, all these cuprous π-complexation sorbents selectively adsorb thiophenic compounds over aromatics and olefins (as predicted by the high separation factors), which resulted in the observed desulfurization capability. A feasibility study is shown for efficient regeneration of CuCl/γ-Al₂O₃ using ultrasound at ambient temperature. Possible problems associated with desulfurization using π-complexation sorbents for commercial fuels are discussed.
