  • Publication number: 20240076277
    Abstract: A system and method for preparing epoxy chloropropane is provided in that by coupling three stages of high gravity reactors, the product epoxy chloropropane and water vapor are distilled from a reaction system in form of an azeotrope by adopting a water vapor steam stripping method. Further, by combining the azeotrope with the multiples stages of high gravity reactors, the gas phase mass transfer and the liquid phase mass transfer of the azeotrope are improved aiming at the features of the azeotrope in the reaction system, thus making the overall conversion rate higher. In addition, by combining steam stripping and high gravity, dichloropropanol and alkali solution are rapidly mixed for mass transfer, and the product epoxy chloropropane is rapidly distilled from the reaction system in the form of the azeotrope, such that the reaction proceeds continuously towards the direction of producing epoxy chloropropane, thus significantly improving the conversion rate.

  • Publication number: 20240066182
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fiber membrane and a preparation method and use thereof, and belongs to the field of biological materials. The fiber membrane includes a fiber with a core-shell structure, where a core of the fiber includes simvastatin and a first spinnable polymer, and a shell of the fiber includes hydroxyapatite and a second spinnable polymer. In the fiber, a release of the simvastatin mainly depends on a rate of water invasion. After water invades the fiber, the simvastatin in the fiber leaves the fiber with the diffusion of water. In the present disclosure, a barrier function of the shell prevents moisture from entering the core. Therefore, the simvastatin in the core cannot leave the fiber with the diffusion of water molecules in an early stage, and a release rate of drugs is slowed down in the early stage, thereby controlling sustained release of the drugs.
