Disclosed by the present invention are a
processing system and method for preparing an
acetal by using monohydric
alcohol-air catalytic conversion, which solves the problems in the existing technology wherein costs are high, safety and
environmental protection risks are high, conversion efficiency is low, fast and precise control of production conditions is not possible, and continuous industrial
chemical production is not possible. The feeding
system of the present invention comprises a
raw material tank, a reciprocating
metering pump, an air generating device, and a
mass flow meter; a heating mixing
system comprises a gas pre-heater, a liquid pre-heater, a gas pre-heating
pipe, a liquid pre-heating
pipe, a gas-liquid mixed pre-heating
pipe, a
vaporization mixer, and a overheating pipe; a catalytic conversion system comprises a
fixed bed catalytic reactor; a condensing system comprises a deep cooler and a circulating refrigerator; a gas-liquid
separation system comprises a gas-liquid separation
tower, a product tank and a wet flow meter. A monohydric
alcohol and air enter the heating mixing system by means of the feeding system and are heated and mixed, then entering the catalytic conversion system to react, a reaction
tail gas being condensed by means of the condensing system and being separated by means of the gas-liquid
separation system to obtain a
liquid product containing the
acetal.
