The invention discloses a high-purity BHET low-temperature
continuous production process which comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing waste PET
powder and a catalyst, adding a
solvent, stirring and mixing to form a muddy mixture, pumping the muddy mixture and
ethylene glycol into a
depolymerization kettle, and carrying out a
depolymerization reaction to generate a BHET crude product; (2) the BHET crude product is continuously introduced into a
hydrolysis kettle, water is continuously introduced, the BHET crude product is fully dissolved, the temperature in the
hydrolysis kettle is 60-100 DEG C, and the pressure in the
hydrolysis kettle is normal pressure; (3) filtering the fully dissolved BHET crude product, conveying a BHET liquid-phase product obtained by filtering into a purification
tower, and carrying out purification treatment, so as to obtain a purified BHET liquid-phase product; and (4) cooling and crystallizing the purified BHET liquid-phase product, filtering and
drying to obtain the high-purity BHET. According to the method, the alcoholysis reaction of PET and
ethylene glycol is catalyzed by using the high-activity catalyst, the alcoholysis
reaction temperature is reduced, the
continuous production mode is more met, the produced BHET is purified,
metal residues are reduced, and the purity of the BHET is further improved.
