Problems solved by technology

It is difficult to hydrogenate oxalic acid, or partially hydrogenate to obtain products such as glycolic acid, which remain in the product ethylene glycol. These impurities enter the polyester production system along with the product ethylene glycol, and react with ethylene glycol at normal esterification reaction temperatures. Esterification occurs, resulting in the increase of flexible chains in the polymer, resulting in a decrease in the thermal stability of polyester products
Moreover, oxalic acid and glycolic acid cannot be completely removed from the process tower during the polyester production process, which has a great impact on the quality of polyester products.

Embodiment 1

[0040] according to figure 1 In the process flow shown, a fixed-bed reactor is used, and the raw material dimethyl oxalate (containing a certain amount of oxalic acid) is mixed with methanol 20 times its mass into the reactor, and the mass space velocity of the mixed raw material is 5.0h -1 , the esterification temperature is 68°C, and the pressure is 0.1MPa. After 4 hours of reaction, samples were taken for chromatographic analysis and calculation. The influence of different catalysts on the conversion rate of raw materials is shown in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for eliminating oxalic acid in dimethyl ester through esterification reaction and obtaining polyester-grade ethylene glycol and relates to a method for eliminating oxalic acid in dimethyl ester and obtaining polyester-grade ethylene glycol. By adopting the method and process, a small amount of oxalic acid in dimethyl oxalate produced through a coal chemical route is eliminated through esterification reaction, then the polyester-grade ethylene glycol is obtained through hydrogenation reaction, a catalyst is a compound metal oxide and meanwhile has the capabilityof absorbing a trace amount of water in reaction raw materials or products, accordingly generation of more esterification products is promoted, a high-purity ethylene glycol and mixed alcoholic solutions are obtained, and the polyester-grade ethylene glycol is finally obtained. The obtained high-purity polyester-grade ethylene glycol and redundant alcohols can be recycled. The use amount of the catalyst is 0.1-3% of the mass of the raw materials, the conversion rate of the raw materials is higher than 98%, and the product yield is higher than 98%.
