Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of esterification reaction catalysis, in particular to a method for synthesizing ethyl acetate. Background Art

[0002] Ethyl acetate (EA), also known as ethyl acetate, is an important fine chemical with wide application. It has good solubility and quick drying properties. It is widely used in the production of cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, chlorinated rubber, vinyl resin, cellulose acetate resin, synthetic rubber, etc. It can also be used to produce liquid nitrocellulose ink for copiers; it is used as a cleaning agent in the textile industry; it is used as a flavor extractant for special modified alcohol in the food industry; it is an important flavor additive in the flavor industry and can be used as a component of flavoring agents. In addition, ethyl acetate can also be used as a solvent for adhesives, a thinner for paints, and a raw material for manufacturing drugs and dyes.

[0003] In recent years, the application of ethyl acetate has grown rapidly at home and abroad. Between 1990 and 2000, the annual growth rate of domestic production capacity was about 14%, and the annual growth rate of output was 10%. Although the domestic production capacity and output of ethyl acetate have been rising rapidly in recent years, the import volume has continued to increase. Ethyl acetate is currently the largest organic chemical product imported in China. Although the domestic production capacity is relatively large, most of the devices are small-scale and uncompetitive. They cannot compete with large-scale devices in terms of technology and cost, and will gradually be eliminated. Although domestic production enterprises are constantly improving technology and expanding production scale, and foreign companies have also entered China to establish joint ventures to build advanced acetate production equipment, the rapidly developing domestic market, especially the strong development of the construction, automobile and other industries in the next few years, will definitely drive the demand for domestic acetate;

[0004] For example, the announcement number CN113880712B discloses a method for preparing ethyl acetate, wherein the raw materials acetic acid, anhydrous ethanol and recovered ester (including first ester and supplementary ester) are metered into an esterification kettle, heated by steam under the action of a catalyst to generate ethyl acetate and water, and form an azeotrope in an esterification tower, which is evaporated from the top of the tower, condensed and cooled, and then enters a phase separator for separation, and the aqueous phase enters a recovery tower; a part of the ester phase is refluxed to the esterification tower, and the rest enters a crude ester buffer tank for preheating, and then enters a concentration tower, and is distilled to obtain a finished product with qualified ester content, acidity and moisture at the bottom of the tower, and a part of it is returned to the esterification kettle as supplementary ester after cooling, and the rest all enters a metering tank; the aqueous phase is wastewater containing ester and alcohol, which enters the recovery tower, is separated by distillation, and a certain content of first ester is recovered from the top of the recovery tower, and the first ester is returned to the esterification tower, and the recovered wastewater is discharged from the bottom of the recovery tower;

[0005] The preparation method of ethyl acetate in the prior art can meet the needs of use. First, in industry, ethyl acetate is mostly synthesized by acetic acid esterification method. Under the catalytic action of concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol and acetic acid are esterified to produce ethyl acetate. However, this production process has the disadvantages of high reaction temperature, low acetic acid utilization, easy side reactions, equipment corrosion, waste liquid pollution of the environment and high production cost. Second, the existing equipment reacts the raw materials and the catalyst at high temperature in the reactor, but the raw materials and the catalyst react slowly, affecting the efficiency, resulting in a low content of crude ethyl acetate. Multiple reactions are required to reach the specified content of the finished product, low production efficiency and complex operation. Summary of the invention
