Abstract

A micro-interface strengthening reaction system and method for preparing polyethylene by using a solution process are provided. The system includes a pre-polymerization reactor and a polymerization reactor connected in sequence. The pre-polymerization reactor is provided with a pre-polymerization micro-interface generators, and the polymerization reactor is provided with a micro-interface generator. The system further includes a desolvation tower for removing solvents and impurities from the polyethylene product. A polyethylene inlet is disposed at a middle part of the desolvation tower, and the polyethylene inlet is connected with the flash tank bottom outlet. A nitrogen micro-interface generator for dispersing and breaking high-temperature nitrogen into micro-bubbles is disposed within the desolvation tower. Through installing the micro-interface generators on the pre-polymerization reactor and the micro-interface and on the polymerization reactor, the mass transfer area between gas phase and liquid phase is increased, the reaction efficiency is improved, and energy consumption is reduced.
