This paper describes Higee(High Gravity) technology which produces hydrogen peroxide with an independently designed and constructed Higee reaction system in the anthraquinone process. This Higee equipment consists of 5 parts: raw material tank, product tank, working pump, temperature-controlled water bath and the rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor. And it is also comprised of two circulatory systems, the raw material heat circulatory system and the working liquid continuous reaction circulatory system. The raw material heat circulatory system comprises a raw material tank, working pump and temperature-controlled water bath. Working fluid pumped from the raw material tank by the working pump flows back to the raw material tank through the temperature-controlled water bath achieving a rapid heating cycle of the working fluid. The working liquid continuous reaction circulatory system includes all those 5 parts. Working fluid is pumped from raw material tank, and then raw material flows back through temperature-controlled water bath, Higee reactor and product tank. This whole process is called the working fluid continuous reaction. The experimental results show that the appropriate rotation speed has improved the hydrogenation efficiency significantly, and the optimum speed is 350~400 r/min. Simultaneously, the effect of temperature and pressure on the Higee reaction system is similar to that of a fixed bed reactor system. Circulatory hydrogenation operation can achieve a higher hydrogenation efficiency, and in the meanwhile greatly reduce the space-time yield. Compared with the fixed bed production technology (12.7~16.5 g(H2O2)/L(cat.)·h), Higee production technology by one-way hydrogenation has a higher space-time yield (27.9 g(H2O2)/L(cat.)·h), and therefore successive one-way hydrogenation is more economical and has more research value.
