DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a vertical reactor capable of continuously treating, for example, a gaseous or vaporous fluid to be treated over a long period of time. A multi-stage reaction zone loaded with movable solid particles having an activity suitable for the treatment of a fluid, such as a solid catalyst or an adsorbent, the solid particles being loaded into the reaction zone. The present invention relates to a novel vertical mobile reactor that can be replaced during operation of treating the fluid to be treated.

Among the generally known reactors, the one that is particularly frequently used is the fixed bed reactor. Depending on the selection of solid particles, the active life of some particles may not be very long, so if such solid particles must be loaded into the reactor and used, the shape of the reactor should be enlarged. It became necessary to either increase the amount of solid particles charged as much as possible, or to stop the operation shortly after the start of operation and replace the solid particles with new ones.

It should be noted that the necessity of replacing solid particles, which is extremely troublesome, not long after the start of operation, is not limited to cases where solid particles with a short active life as described above are loaded, but also when the particles are highly active. Even when solid particles with a long life are loaded, there are cases where operation is difficult.

This is a case where the activity of the solid particles mentioned above is temporarily deactivated due to incorrect operation. In cases where the gas is manufactured and distributed as city gas, stopping the operation and replacing the catalyst as described above would be a serious social problem, so measures should be taken to prevent this. It was necessary.

Normally, two reactors of the same type are kept on hand for such cases, and while one reactor is being used to treat the fluid to be treated, new solid particles or If regenerated solid particles are loaded in one reactor and the activity of the solid particles loaded in one reactor is deactivated, the flow direction of the fluid to be treated can be changed to the other reactor. A method has been proposed in which the processing operation is continued by switching to .

However, such a method of always having two reactors on hand not only considerably increases the manufacturing cost of the apparatus, including the cost of incidental equipment such as valves and lines for switching the flow direction of the fluid to be treated, but also It has the disadvantage that operation switching operations and the like are very complicated.

On the other hand, as seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 47-42-481, etc., the internal structure of one reactor was improved, instead of having two reactors as mentioned above, and the A method has been proposed in which solid particles that are deactivated during a fluid processing operation are successively replaced with new ones.

However, the moving bed reactor seen in JP-A-47-42481 etc. has a multi-stage annular reaction zone in a reaction vessel having upper and lower solid particle supply ports and solid particle discharge ports, respectively. The device has a structure in which the fluid to be treated sequentially passes through the zone in the radial direction.
For example, if we try to apply such a device (radial flow type reactor) to the steam reforming reaction for producing city gas as mentioned above, it is necessary to increase the diameter of the device or increase the number of stages in the reaction zone. It cannot be said that it is a very good idea because

This is because when trying to produce methane-containing city gas by steam reforming feedstock hydrocarbons in the presence of a nickel-based catalyst, for example, when the feedstock hydrocarbons are reformed in the catalyst layer near the feedstock hydrocarbon inlet, A decomposition reaction (endothermic reaction) occurs, followed by a methane production reaction (exothermic reaction) to obtain the final product gas. This is because unreacted gas will flow out of the system unless the catalyst layer in the flow direction of the fluid to be treated is lengthened to a certain extent.

In addition, in the above-mentioned reaction, damage begins at the catalyst layer near the feedstock hydrocarbon inlet, and in some cases, carbon precipitation occurs, resulting in increased pressure loss.
In a reactor such as that shown in JP-A No. 47-42481, the fluid to be treated is introduced from the upper zone of a multi-stage reaction zone and reaches the lower zone, so that the catalyst in the upper reaction zone, which is most susceptible to damage, is It is not possible to preferentially extract the catalyst, and if it is necessary to extract the catalyst, it has the disadvantage that the undamaged catalyst in the lower reaction zone must also be extracted. .

On the other hand, a reaction zone is provided in a reaction vessel having upper and lower solid particle supply ports and a solid particle discharge port, respectively, and the solid particles loaded in the reaction zone are exchanged during the processing operation of the fluid to be treated. It is also conceivable to use a moving bed type reactor (up-flow type reactor) which has a structure in which the fluid to be treated passes through the reaction zone from bottom to top. In this case, there are various problems such as the loaded solid particles being blown up by the fluid to be treated and being abraded and powdered while flowing in the reaction zone, so it has not been put into practical use yet.
