Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing methylal from a methanol and formaldehyde aqueous solution. The method comprises the following steps that (a) a material A containing formaldehyde and amaterial C containing methanol are introduced into a pre-reactor for pre-reaction, and thus a pre-reaction material I is obtained; and (b) the pre-reaction material I obtained in the step (a) is introduced into a catalytic extraction tower or a multistage catalytic extraction reactor to make countercurrent contact with an extraction agent, and catalytic reaction and extraction are conducted to obtain an extraction phase material II and a raffinate material III. According to the method, the concentration of the methylal in the extraction phase obtained from the catalytic extraction tower can beincreased, and the method has the advantages that the material cost is low, and products are easy to separate.
