Chapter 50 He's not experimenting, but playing house
As the days passed, Liu Feng basically maintained a three-point and one-line life in the dormitory, canteen and laboratory. Except for occasionally going to the library to brush books and change his mind when he couldn't figure it out, his life trajectory has basically not changed.
This is the first time since he stepped on campus that his life has been so regular and lasted almost a month.
All this was beyond his expectations and was reasonable.
What he didn't expect was that he actually grew up so fast, but it was natural to think that he had supernatural powers to base his foundation.
These days, Lao Meng and Lao Zhou and other friends in the dormitory knew that he was very busy, so they did not disturb him. Even for occasional class gatherings, Liu Feng refused them all.
Therefore, the experiment was carried out step by step within the time frame he expected.
The main technology involved in the research of propylene disproportionate membrane reaction device is actually the study of membrane catalytic reactions, and the key to the study of membrane catalytic reactions is the study of catalytic film synthesis.
Liu Feng found through querying the data that the cutting-edge catalytic film research in the current science and technology industry mainly includes inorganic materials, ceramics, and mixed materials. The catalytic film research experiment designed by Liu Feng mainly loads the catalyst Rh2O3 on porous alumina or quartz glass.
Among them, alumina and quartz glass are inorganic substances. As the underlying reaction film, they have relatively good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, organic solvent resistance, high pressure resistance, and microbial corrosion resistance.
However, because of this, it is difficult and costly to couple the catalysts with them.
Therefore, Liu Feng did not consider using coupling at the beginning, but used load method.
Of course, theoretically speaking, in order to cater to Boss Duan's review, Liu Feng's initial design of the experimental route and steps, that is, the content written in the project report, was designed completely in accordance with the conventional state.
The experimental design of conventional state mainly includes two parts:
One part is the loading of a series of catalysts Rh2O3 in alumina or quartz glass; the other part is the research on catalytic reaction of acrylic films; Liu Feng estimated that if he is lucky, he would have to conduct at least 50 sets of experiments to find some tricks. If he is lucky, he might just be exhausted from it.
Of course, this is just a regular experiment. Don’t forget, what does Liu Feng do? He is a cheater!
Logically speaking, only by successfully developing the catalytic membrane can the membrane catalytic reaction study be carried out, so as to verify and find the best catalytic reaction membrane. However, Liu Feng directly took two steps and one step in order to get it in place, which is completely unreasonable.
But who made him cheat?
In terms of cost saving, if Liu Feng divided it into two parts to conduct experiments, it would not only waste a lot of raw materials, but also waste his few time.
Therefore, Liu Feng threw the above complicated experimental design directly into the garbage dump without considering it. He decided to use the help of his superpowers to carry out the two-step experiment at the same time, and in one step!
In layman's terms, the disproportionation reaction of propylene is a reversible reaction. When the disproportionated ethylene passes through the film, the reversible reaction proceeds in the direction of ethylene and butene-2.
Through superpower, Liu Feng bound propylene to a certain space, and then divided the amount of catalyst from large to small into a linear gradient, loaded on a fixed amount of alumina and quartz glass, and then forced the propylene to touch the catalyst film. The butene generated by the reaction can enter another space through the film.
The former is equivalent to a membrane reaction device, while the latter is equivalent to a collection device.
Finally, Liu Feng can determine which catalyst load is the most suitable for manufacturing the membrane reactor by calculating the generation rate and amount of ethylene in another space.
The above experiment is both difficult and complicated to say, and it is impossible to do this in actual conditions, but Liu Feng just completed this series of experiments that seem unscientific and difficult to complete.
...
In just one week, Liu Feng found the most suitable reactor catalytic membrane.
If the oil company that has developed membrane reaction devices abroad knows this speed, it may be so ashamed that it will jump out of oil and commit suicide!
How is this possible!
This is unscientific!
This is simply cheating!
Well, this guy Liu Feng is actually cheating...
He found out that what scientific research he is doing now is not doing experiments at all, but playing house!
Even if it was an academician-level master like Duan Xue, it would probably take a year and a half to complete these experiments by relying on him alone, not to mention others. As for Liu Feng, this guy, completed these things in a few days. What about this not playing house?
At this point, the experiment was almost 80%. In the next 10%, what Liu Feng needed to do was to synthesize this catalytic film through routine experiments without using superpowers, and then design a reaction device and hand it over to the outside for production.
As for the remaining 10%, it is the writing of the paper.
Alas, it's not challenging at all, it's too simple!
Liu Feng thought boredly with the computer in his arms.
This is equivalent to a cheating behavior in which a person directly knows the standard answer to the question in advance when taking the exam, and then passes the answer reversal process.
The key is that others still don’t know that he is cheating!
Liu Feng was filled with emotion.
His cheating behavior is much faster than the step-by-step experimental research, and he saves even more manpower, material resources and financial resources!
The only disadvantage may be that the experimental data used for trial and error are basically gone, so there is too little effective data that can be filled in the paper in the end.
Of course, the paper does not require the "wrong way" experiments to fill it. If there is less data, there will be less, as long as the results are correct, it will be done.
Afterwards, Liu Feng used the experimental results of the cheating reaction and spent another day or two to synthesize enough catalyst films under conventional conditions.
Finally, he designed a simple membrane reactor with these films and conducted dozens of propylene disproportionation reaction experiments. The final reaction results were averaged, with an average conversion rate of up to 91%!
91%, what is this concept!
In fact, the highest conversion rate of the traditional fixed bed reactor of CNPC is only 34%. As for the foreign "advanced" membrane reaction devices, as a rival CNPC, although they cannot make a device manufacturing method, they have investigated the highest conversion rate of the device very clearly: 69%, well, less than 70%, that's it.
Can we apply for a patent or something?
Liu Feng groped his chin and thought.
