[0036] Example 2: Preparation of o-methoxy-N-acetylacetanilide A continuous reaction process for studying a low bisphenylamine impurity, o-methoxy bisethylphenylamine, includes the following steps: (1) A reaction kettle is laid with 0.5 t of saturated mother liquor with an ethanol concentration of 40%, and the end of the feeding pipe of o-methoxyaniline and divinyl ketone is located at 1 / 2 of the liquid level.

While centrifuging (centrifugation conditions: speed 5000 rpm), the centrifuge sprays washing liquid (washing liquid is: ethanol aqueous solution with ethanol concentration of 40% (v / v)) to remove impurities in the mixed liquid. The solid obtained after centrifugation (moist product) is dried (steam dried at 110℃, residence time 5s) to obtain the finished product.
[0045] During centrifugation, 5% of the mother liquor is discarded (taking a centrifuge capacity of 100 kg / h as an example, 95 kg / h is returned to the reactor, and 5 kg / h is discarded; during centrifugation, there will be a loss of mother liquor (approximately 5% of the mother liquor volume). The washing liquid replenishes this loss. This process is equivalent to the mother liquor being continuously discarded and replaced at a certain ratio (approximately 5%), ensuring the stability of the mother liquor quality and preventing the continuous accumulation of impurities). The 95% (w / w) centrifuged mother liquor obtained after centrifugation is mixed with 5% (w / w, to replenish the missing portion of the mother liquor) fresh washing liquid (the washing liquid is an ethanol aqueous solution with a concentration of 40% (v / v) ethanol) as the next batch of reused mother liquor; this mixture is then added to the reactor.

The temperature inside the reactor is controlled at 55℃ throughout the process. The total mass of o-methoxyaniline added is 416 kg, and the total mass of diketene added is 300 kg.

The pumping capacity is 1720 kg / h. The centrifugal washing method is as follows: the pump outlet pipe is directly connected to the centrifuge. While centrifuging (centrifugation conditions: speed 5000 rpm), the centrifuge sprays washing liquid (washing liquid is: ethanol aqueous solution with ethanol concentration of 35% (v / v)) to remove impurities in the mixed liquid. The solid (moist product) obtained after centrifugation is dried (steam dried at 110℃, residence time 5s) to obtain the finished product.
[0051] During centrifugation, 5% of the mother liquor is discarded (taking a centrifuge capacity of 100 kg / h as an example, 95 kg / h of the mother liquor is returned to the reactor, and 5 kg / h is discarded; during centrifugation, there will be a loss of mother liquor (approximately 5% of the mother liquor volume). The washing liquid replenishes this loss. This process is equivalent to the mother liquor being constantly discarded and replaced at a certain ratio (approximately 5%), ensuring the stability of the mother liquor quality and preventing the continuous accumulation of impurities). The 95% (w / w) centrifuged mother liquor obtained after centrifugation is mixed with 5% (w / w, to replenish the missing portion of the mother liquor) fresh washing liquid (the washing liquid is an ethanol aqueous solution with a concentration of 35% (v / v) ethanol) as the next batch of reused mother liquor; this mixture is then added to the reactor.

Claims
1. A continuous reaction research process for o-methoxy-N-acetoacetanilide with low diphenylamine impurities, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: (1) Spread a saturated mother liquor of o-methoxy-N-acetylacetanilide with an ethanol concentration of 20-40% at the bottom of the reactor, and place the end of the o-methoxyaniline and diketene feed pipe below the liquid surface; (2) Add o-methoxyaniline and diketene in equal proportions to the system obtained in step (1). After the addition is completed, the residence time is 20-40 min, and the temperature inside the reactor is controlled at 50-60℃ throughout the process. The total mass of o-methoxyaniline added is 333-1333 kg, and the total mass of diketene added is 240-960 kg. (3) Overflow into the crystal growth reactor: The reaction solution after step (2) is continuously introduced into the crystal growth vessel through the overflow port, and the residence time is 30~60 min, and the temperature is 35~40℃. (4) Overflow into the crystallization kettle: After step (3) is completed, the liquid is allowed to flow out naturally through the overflow port and continuously introduced into the crystallization vessel. Before introducing, a saturated mother liquor of o-methoxy-N-acetylacetanilide is laid at the bottom of the crystallization vessel. The reaction temperature of the crystallization vessel is controlled at 5~10℃ and the residence time is 60~100 min.
