The invention discloses a micro-interface
reaction system for preparing
ethylene glycol by an
oxalate method. The micro-interface
reaction system comprises a first reaction tank, an upper micro-interface generator, a lower micro-interface generator, a first
shunting type micro-interface generator and a
hydrogenation reaction tank, a
nitric oxide gas inlet pipeline and an
oxygen gas inlet pipelineare arranged on the side wall of the first reaction tank, the
oxygen gas inlet pipeline is connected with a first
shunting type micro-interface generator and an upper micro-interface generator, the
nitric oxide gas inlet pipeline is connected with a lower micro-interface generator, and the first reaction tank is connected with a
methanol storage tank; a product obtained after the reaction in the first reaction tank enters a
fixed bed reactor for a
coupling reaction, a product obtained after the reaction in the
fixed bed reactor sequentially passes through a cooler, a gas-liquid separation tankand a regeneration
tower to enter a
hydrogenation reaction tank for
hydrogenation catalysis, and a product obtained after the
hydrogenation catalysis reaction in the
hydrogenation reaction tank sequentially passes through a high-pressure separator, a low-pressure flash tank and a rectifying
tower; and
ethylene glycol is obtained in the rectifying
tower through rectifying. According to the micro-interface
reaction system, the pressure and the temperature during reaction are reduced.
