Technical Field

The invention relates to falling film devolatilization equipment used in the fields of polymer production, spinning solution deaeration, solution concentration, vacuum evaporation and the like, in particular to a production device for polymer polycondensation reaction, and belongs to the field of chemical production equipment.

Background

In chemical operations such as polycondensation, deaeration of spinning solution, vacuum evaporation, desorption and the like, the mass transfer efficiency for gradually removing small molecular compounds is a key factor for controlling the devolatilization process. Since such processes usually occur in highly viscous systems, the diffusion of small molecular compounds in the system is very difficult, and the devolatilization effect is limited by the structure of the components in the equipment for material flow and the mixing characteristics of the material flow. There is a need to develop a devolatilizer with compact structure, fast surface update frequency and high heat and mass transfer efficiency to achieve the goal of high-capacity, high-efficiency and high-quality devolatilization.

In the process of preparing the polymer, the melt polycondensation reaction is a reversible polymerization reaction which continuously generates small molecular compounds, and the polymer including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyamide (PA66), Polycarbonate (PC) and the like can be prepared by the melt polycondensation reaction. When preparing the polymer, a devolatilization process for removing small molecular compounds generated must be continuously carried out to promote the reaction to be continuously carried out in a forward direction, the viscosity of the material is extremely high, particularly, the dynamic viscosity of the material can be changed in order of magnitude at the later stage of polycondensation, and the reaction is a viscosity changing process which relates to the coupling of chemical reaction and heat and mass transfer. Therefore, the melt polycondensation reaction effect depends on the flow characteristics and the heat and mass transfer interface characteristics of the devolatilization process material.

The existing equipment successfully applied to devolatilization of high-viscosity materials mainly comprises two types of horizontal stirring devices, namely a disc type horizontal stirring device and a cage frame type horizontal stirring device. The two types of equipment are both used for taking the melt in the molten pool into a film and devolatilizing the film when rotating by virtue of rotating equipment with the lower part immersed in the melt layer, the film forming efficiency of the melt is low, the surface updating is limited, and particularly when the viscosity of the material is high, the material is attached to a component in the device for a long time and side reaction occurs to cause the quality of a product to be reduced; in addition, the rotating shaft of such a stirring type reaction apparatus is usually connected to the outside of the housing, and a large amount of highly viscous material adheres to the stirrer to generate a considerable disturbance, and the sealing reliability of the apparatus is poor. Therefore, an efficient devolatilization device is urgently needed to be developed, materials in the device can have good film-forming performance, the surface is updated quickly, the retention time is uniform, the flowing has no dead zone, the device is easy to clean and has low energy consumption, the reaction process meets the requirements of flowing, mixing and heat and mass transfer, and the high-efficiency polycondensation is realized.

The disclosed vertical devolatilization reactor (a tube-in-tube external falling film polycondensation reaction kettle, CN 102746499B; a multilayer falling film devolatilization reactor, CN 105903424B) has reduced energy consumption because it does not have a stirrer, and the film forming and surface updating can also meet certain production quality requirements, but the adjustable production material flow range is limited, when the material handling capacity is increased, the retention time is obviously reduced, and the product quality is reduced; and multilayer's umbrella skirt structure causes directly falling easily and can't get back to the hollow tube outer wall when falling liquid film in-process material breaks away from the umbrella skirt, forms so-called "short circuit" to make and take off the uneven of wave effect variation and material viscosity, simultaneously, multilayer structure also can cause easily to produce obvious dwell time difference when lower floor's column plate radial flow because of the gradual grow of material viscosity, and then influences and takes off and wave the effect. Therefore, it is urgently needed to provide devolatilization equipment with large film forming area, controllable film forming shape, no dead zone, fast surface updating, uniform and controllable residence time in the falling film process and large flow range adaptability.
