Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of n-propyl propionate. The method comprises the following steps: S1, adding excessive propionic acid and n-propanol into a reactive rectification tower provided with a catalyst, and carrying out reactive rectification to obtain a heterogeneous reaction product containing n-propyl propionate and water at the top of the reactive rectification tower; S2, conveying the heterogeneous reaction product containing n-propyl propionate and water into a phase splitter, extracting the obtained water phase, refluxing a part of the obtained oil phase, and extracting the remaining part of the oil phase to obtain n-propyl propionate; and S3, extracting propionic acid from the bottom of the reactive rectification tower, returning the propionic acid to the propionic acid raw material inlet of the reactive rectification tower, and continuously reacting the propionic acid with n-propanol. The excessive propionic acid added into the reactive rectification towermakes the n-propanol completely reacted, a gas phase obtained at the tower top is condensed and undergoes phase splitting to obtain the product n-propyl propionate and a byproduct water, and the remaining propionic acid is extracted from the tower bottom, and is reused. Reduced pressure operation is adopted to effectively reduce the reaction temperature, prevent the temperature runaway phenomenonof a catalyst and make the catalyst have a good effect; and the method has the advantages of easiness in product separation, good product quality and low device investment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of chemical reactive distillation, in particular to a preparation method of n-propyl propionate. Background technique [0002] N-propyl propionate is a fine chemical with a wide range of uses. As a selective solvent, it is widely used in coatings, printing inks, fragrances, cleaning agents, food industry seasonings, etc. It can replace some aromatic hydrocarbons that cause air pollution compound solvent. With the rapid development of the world economy and the enhancement of human awareness of environmental protection, the consumption of n-propyl propionate is increasing, and the requirements for its purity are also getting higher and higher. For example, the battery industry requires more than 99.9% of its purity. [0003] The esterification reaction of propionic acid and n-propanol synthesizes n-propyl propionate, and at the same time produces water as a by-product. This reaction is a reversible equilibrium reaction...
