Problems solved by technology

Its production method is that citric acid and n-butanol react to generate tributyl citrate in the presence of a catalyst and a water-carrying agent. The commonly used catalyst is an inorganic or organic acid (the most commonly used is concentrated sulfuric acid), and the water-carrying agent is positive Butanol itself is produced through dealcoholization, neutralization, water washing, stripping, decolorization, pressure filtration, rectification and other processes; although sulfuric acid is cheap and has high catalytic activity, it has many disadvantages: long production cycle and low conversion rate; And because of the dehydration, esterification and oxidation of sulfuric acid, there are many by-products, which all bring difficulties to the refining and recovery of the reaction product; After alkali neutralization, water washing, and removal of sulfuric acid as a catalyst, the process is complicated, three wastes are generated, and the product is lost; in addition, sulfuric acid also seriously corrodes equipment and increases production costs; produce three wastes pollution
