  • Patent number: 11338263
    Abstract: A continuous slurry-bed tank reactor, comprising a tank reactor body, an agitator, and tubular separation membranes. A method of using the continuous slurry-bed tank reactor comprising adding a catalyst, feeding reactants, stopping feeding the reactants, starting a heating system, changing directions of the reactants flowing through the tubular separation membranes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022
    Assignees: Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanxi Lu'an Mining (Group) Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Weibin Fan, Guofu Wang, Jiaqi Guo, Jianguo Wang, Mei Dong, Youliang Cen, Yaning Xiao, Dongfei Wang, Shoujing Sun, Weilin Wang, Juncai Zhang, Min Zhang, Yunhong Li
  • Patent number: 11084772
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for continuously producing polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers at low temperature, pertains to the technical field of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether preparation processes, and solves the technical problem of continuous production of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether. A membrane separation element with precisely controlled pores in membrane is used to realize a direct separation of the feedstocks from the catalyst within the reactor, and effectively reduce the permeation resistance of the separation membrane tube. By oppositely switching the flowing direction of liquid reaction materials, the adhesion of the catalyst to the separation membrane tube is inhibited, and some particles stuck in separation membrane tube are removed, which ensures the continuous operation of the reaction process and allows a molecular sieve catalyst to exhibit its advantage of long catalytic life.
