Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for synthesizing triethyl citrate by applying a vapor permeation dehydration technique, belonging to the technical field of permeation gasification membrane separation application and organism synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: adding citric acid, ethanol and a catalyst into a reaction kettle according to a certain ratio, and heating to certain temperature, wherein triethyl citrate and water are mainly generated from reactants under the catalytic action of the catalyst. In the reaction process, rising vapor and downstream backflow liquid inside the reaction kettle play roles of heat conduction and mass transfer in a rectifying column, generated ethanol and water are distilled out from the tower top of the rectifying column, and the distillate is dehydrated as a vapor permeation dehydration raw material. After the distillate is dehydrated, ethanol vapor with relatively high purity is condensed and fed back to the reaction kettle. As ethanol is adopted as a water carrying agent, water carried by the raw materials and water generated in the reaction process can be continuously removed, the reaction can be promoted to the direction of ester production, and thus the conversion rate of the reaction can be increased. According to the method and the device, the triethyl citrate is high in esterification rate and purity, ethanol amount is low, recycling process is not needed, the process is simple and the operation energy consumption is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for synthesizing triethyl citrate by steam permeation dehydration technology, and belongs to the technical field of pervaporation membrane separation application and organic compound synthesis. Background technique [0002] Triethyl citrate is an important chemical raw material, mainly used as a plasticizer for thermoplastic resins such as cellulose and vinyl. In the food industry, it is widely used as an additive, antioxidant and flavor enhancer. In the tobacco industry, it is the best substitute for triacetin, a plasticizer for cellulose acetate filter rods. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved triethyl citrate as a non-toxic plasticizer for food packaging, medical devices, children's toys and personal hygiene products. Therefore, researching and developing triethyl citrate has very important significance. [0003] At present, triethyl citrate is mainly synthesized in industry by ester...
