The invention discloses a device and a process for producing
acetaminophen. The device comprises a split-type reaction section and a rectifying section, wherein the reaction section is connected belowthe rectifying section in a sealed manner, the rectifying section is internally provided with a
tower plate or filled with rectifying packing, and random packing is arranged below the rectifying section; the top of the rectifying section is provided with a collecting outlet and a
reflux inlet, the collecting outlet is respectively connected with the
reflux inlet and a condensing outlet through acondenser, the reaction section is a reinforced reactor, and is provided with a
raw material inlet, a circulating outlet and a circulating inlet, the circulating outlet is connected with an inlet of acirculating pump, an outlet of the
circulating pump is respectively connected with the circulating inlet, a
heat exchanger and a product outlet, and an outlet of the
heat exchanger is communicated above an inner liquid surface of the device. The device can be used for distilling
moisture timely and guaranteeing reactant concentration, the
reaction rate is high, the by-products are few, the energyconsumption is relatively low, the device has a compact structure, the site and space are saved, the reaction heat can be used as all or part of a heat source of the rectifying
tower, the energy is saved, and the cost is reduced.
