Classification of reaction kettles

According to structural types, they can be divided into kettle-type reactors, tubular reactors, tower reactors, fixed bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, etc.

1. Kettle-type reactor

Kettle-type reactors, also known as tank-type or pot-type reactors, are used to achieve liquid phase single-phase reaction processes and multiphase reaction processes such as liquid-liquid, gas-liquid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid-solid.

During operation, temperature and concentration are easy to control, and product quality is uniform. In chemical production, they can be used for both batch and continuous operation processes; they can operate as a single kettle or be used in series with multiple kettles; however, when applied to processes that require a higher conversion rate, they have the disadvantage of needing a larger volume.

Typically, kettle-type reactors are most commonly used under relatively mild operating conditions, such as at atmospheric pressure, lower temperatures, and below the boiling point of the materials.

2. Tubular reactor

Tubular reactors are mainly used for continuous reaction processes in gas phase, liquid phase, and gas-liquid phase, consisting of a single (straight or coiled) tube or multiple parallel arranged tubes, generally equipped with a jacket or shell-and-tube heat exchange device.

Characteristics of tubular reactors:

Large heat exchange area, suitable for reactions with significant thermal effects; fast reaction speed and flow rate, resulting in high productivity; simple and compact structure, high strength, strong corrosion resistance, good impact resistance, long service life, and easy maintenance.

3. Tower reactor

Tower reactors generally include packed towers, plate towers, falling film reactors, spray reactors, and bubbling towers.

Packed tower - suitable for rapid and instantaneous reaction processes, especially for operations under low pressure and with corrosive media.

Plate tower - suitable for medium-speed and fast reaction processes. Most use pressurized operation, suitable for pressurized reaction processes controlled by mass transfer.

Spray tower - suitable for instantaneous reaction processes, especially in systems with sludge, sedimentation, and solid product formation, where gas film control is significant and gas-liquid phase mixing is severe.

Bubbling tower - has a large liquid storage capacity, suitable for slow reaction speeds and significant thermal effects, but has severe liquid phase mixing. Suitable for batch operation.

4. Fixed bed reactor

Fixed bed reactors refer to equipment where fluid passes through a stationary bed of solid materials to carry out chemical reactions. The gas-solid fixed bed reactor is the most common.

The fixed bed reactor has a thin bed layer and low flow rate, and the axial flow of fluid within the bed can be regarded as ideal displacement flow, thus the chemical reaction rate is relatively fast. The amount of catalyst and reactor volume required to complete the same production task is smaller, the fluid residence time can be strictly controlled, and the temperature distribution can be appropriately adjusted, which is beneficial for improving the conversion rate and selectivity of chemical reactions; the catalyst in the fixed bed is not easily worn and can operate under high temperature and high pressure.

Of course, fixed beds also have some disadvantages, such as poor heat transfer performance; cannot use fine particle catalysts (cannot fully utilize the internal surface of the catalyst), and the regeneration and replacement of catalysts are inconvenient.

5. Fluidized bed reactor

Small solid particles are carried by the flowing fluid, exhibiting properties that allow them to flow freely like a fluid. This phenomenon is called solid fluidization.

Combining the reactor with the solid catalyst particles that are fluidized within it forms a fluidized bed reactor. Fluidized bed reactors are often used in gas-solid reaction processes.
