  • Patent number: 11738318
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an external loop slurry reactor, comprising a gas-liquid integrated distributor, a riser, a degassing zone, a solid-liquid separation circulation unit, and a storage tank. When the reactor works, reactants are injected into the riser through the gas-liquid integrated distributor; the slurry mixes and flows upwards to the degassing zone at the top for gas removal, and a large number of bubbles are removed. The slurry with catalyst particles then enters a downcomer and flows downwards. The slurry flows into a first-stage hydrocyclone and a multi-stage hydrocyclone in sequence for solid-liquid separation. The diameter of the first-stage hydrocyclone is larger than that of the multi-stage hydrocyclone. The separated solid particles flow back into the riser to continue to participate in the reaction.

  • Publication number: 20230219820
    Abstract: A cracking process for a reaction distillation of chlorosilane slurry includes feeding a chlorosilane slurry into a phase separator, drying a solid phase, feeding a chlorosilane polymer into a plate distillation column, returning kettle materials of the plate distillation column, and dividing a material produced from a top of the column. The process adopts an ionic liquid catalyst, which is environmentally friendly and reusable. The cracking and distillation of chlorosilane polymer are carried out simultaneously to shorten the time and increase the utilization rate of raw materials, which can reduce energy consumption and save costs and facilitate industrial production. A plate column is used as a distillation column, in which the two phases of the gas and liquid are sufficiently contacted. Therefore, the transfer of mass and heat is good, the production capacity is good, and the tower is not easily blocked, thereby making it easy to clean.
