The invention relates to the technical field of
glycerol triacetate preparation, in particular to an esterification
phase splitter for preparing
glycerol triacetate, which comprises a
tower tray arranged in a rectifying
tower, umbrella-shaped covers are uniformly distributed on the upper surface of the
tower tray, and the tower tray comprises a movable tray, a fixed tray, a riser and an adjusting mechanism. By optimizing the structure of the umbrella-shaped cover and the design of the adjusting mechanism, the problems of a viscous layer and entrainment caused by high
viscosity of
glycerol triacetate are solved, by reducing the
diameter of the bottom of the umbrella-shaped cover and reducing the comprehensive height of the overflow weir, the liquid flowing space is enlarged, the liquid
retention time is shortened, and by forming an air inlet groove and an adjusting hydraulic oil cylinder, the liquid
retention time is shortened. The gas-phase flow area is increased, gas-liquid contact is optimized, entrainment is reduced, through adjustment of the hydraulic oil cylinder,
adaptation to the requirements of different reaction stages is achieved, the height of the downcomer is increased, and the flooding risk is reduced.
