Embodiment 1

[0023] use figure 1 In the process shown, the total number of trays of the double esterification catalytic distillation tower is 30, of which there are 8 trays in the upper section, 9 trays in the middle section, and 13 trays in the lower section. No catalyst is loaded on the last 4 trays in the upper section, middle section and lower section. Four fixed-bed reactors are installed between adjacent trays in the middle section, and a total of 16 fixed-bed reactors are installed in the middle section of the entire catalytic distillation tower. The maleic anhydride stream 1 and the first methanol stream 2 enter the monoesterification reactor R1 to react to obtain a stream 4 containing monomethyl maleate. The stream 4 and the second methanol stream 3 enter the upper section of the double esterification catalytic distillation tower T1 from the side line to obtain the methanol-containing tower overhead stream 5 and the upper rectification effluent stream 6 . Stream 6 enters the midd...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing maleic acid methyl ester. The problem in the prior art is well solved by utilizing the technical scheme which comprises the following steps of: a) feeding maleic anhydride and a first path of methanol into a single esterification reactor so as to obtain a material flow 4; b) providing a double-esterification catalysis distillation tower T1, wherein the double-esterification catalysis distillation tower T1 comprises three upper, middle and lower sections, at least one fixed bed reactor is arranged outside a tower wall between adjacent tower plates at the middle section; c) feeding the material flow 4 and a second path of methanol into the upper section of the tower T1 from a side line, so as to obtain a material flow 5 and a material flow 6; d) feeding the material flow 6 into the middle section of the tower T1, feeding the material flow 6 into at least the first fixed bed reactor from at least the first layer of tower plate in the middle section, reacting to obtain a material flow 7; feeding the material flow 7 into an adjacent next layer of tower plate to be used as a raw material I for a next fixed bed reactor or to be used as a fed material II of the lower section of the tower T1; e) feeding the fed material II into the lower section of the tower T1, catalyzing and distilling so as to obtain a maleic acid methyl ester product from the tower kettle. The method can be applied to industrial production of the maleic acid methyl ester.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of production method of dimethyl maleate. Background technique [0002] Dimethyl maleate is an important organic chemical raw material, especially through catalytic hydrogenation, it can be used to produce 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran and γ-butyrolactone, so that maleic anhydride and methanol can be reacted to produce maleic acid The dimethyl ester method has received a great deal of attention. This has been described in detail in many patents, such as US4795824, WO90 / 08127, US4751334, WO88 / 00937, US4584419 and the like. [0003] The reaction of maleic anhydride with methanol to prepare dimethyl maleate can be described by the following equation. [0004] [0005] At present, during industrial production, maleic anhydride and methanol generate monomethyl maleate in the monoesterification reactor, and then monomethyl maleate reacts further with methanol in the double esterification reaction tower to obtai...
