The rotary feeder is simple in structure, is capable of realizing introduction of solid polyolefin catalyst particles into a polymerization reactorcontinuously, smoothly, and accurately, polyolefin production cost is reduced, and equipment maintenance is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of olefin polymerization, in particular to a feeder for granular solid polyolefin catalysts. Background technique [0002] At present, most of the catalysts used in olefin polymerization in industry are solid particle type, and the feeding of this solid particle type catalyst is usually added by a specially designed catalyst feeding device, such as the solid catalyst feeding device adopted on the Unipol polyethylene device; there is also a After a complex preparation process, the catalyst is prepared into a certain concentration of slurry or paste, and then sent into the reactor with a metering system. In the above two methods, the equipment investment of the former is very high, the adding process is easy to block, and there is no accurate and effective method to know the catalyst content in the catalyst feeder. The preparation process of the latter is extremely complicated, and the preparation of a single catalyst ...

Problems solved by technology

This invention can realize small dose of powder feeding, but the material is easy to deposit on the inner wall of the material channel, resulting in measurement error

[0005] Chinese patent CN101811011A discloses a catalyst automatic feeding method. The fluidization conveying air pipeline is set to continuously feed the fluidizing conveying air into the feeder. A fluidizing conveying air regulating valve and a flow meter are arranged on the fluidizing conveying air pipeline. Feeding regulating valve, a connecting pipe is set between the top of the feeder and the pipe section of the discharge pipe near the outlet of the discharge valve. , the catalyst circulates in the connected circulation loop at the top of the feeder, which reduces the deposition and clogging during the catalyst delivery process, and the problem of unstable feeding, but the circulation device of this equipment is set on the top of the feeder, and strong fluidization is required during the circulation process Conveying air, the device generally uses compressed air as the fluidized conveying air, so the equipment cost is relatively high, and the invention also requires the fluidized conveying air to ensure that the internal pressure of the feeder is constantly lower than or equal to the catalyst tank charging pressure and higher than the regeneration pressure. The pressure of the device is higher, which requires higher equipment and increases the production cost

This invention can continuously add solid catalyst into the reaction system under normal pressure, but due to the lack of catalyst metering device, the amount of catalyst added cannot be controlled

Moreover, this feeding system uses a catalyst tank and an intermediate tank. The catalyst feeding process is long, and the catalyst is easy to accumulate and remain in the intermediate tank, resulting in waste of catalyst.

[0007] At present, there is a lack of a catalyst feeder that has a simple equipment structure, is convenient for maintenance, and enables solid polyolefin catalyst particles to be continuously, smoothly and accurately added to the polymerization reactor.
