Part of the crotyl alcohol in the crotyl alcohol tower reflux tank (3-10) is refluxed into the crotyl alcohol tower (3-9), and the other part of the crotyl alcohol is discharged as a product to obtain crotyl alcohol with a purity greater than 99 wt%. The heavy components are discharged from the bottom of the crotyl alcohol tower (3-9); (5) Crotonaldehyde rectification: The heavy components discharged from the bottom of the crotyl alcohol tower (3-9) are sent to the crotonaldehyde tower (3-14) by the crotonaldehyde tower feed pump (3-13). The temperature of the crotonaldehyde tower condenser (3-16) is 102 - 105 °C, the temperature of the crotonaldehyde tower reboiler (3-17) is 135 - 140 °C, the pressure inside the tower is 0.1 - 0.15 MPa, and the reflux ratio is 2.15 - 2.

3. The light component crotonaldehyde is discharged from the top of the crotonaldehyde tower (3-14), and after being cooled by the crotonaldehyde tower condenser (3-16), it enters the crotonaldehyde tower reflux tank (3-15). Part of the crotonaldehyde in the crotonaldehyde tower reflux tank (3-15) is refluxed into the crotonaldehyde tower (3-14), and the other part of the crotonaldehyde is discharged as recycled crotonaldehyde from the bottom of the crotonaldehyde tower reflux tank (3-15), and is transported to the crotonaldehyde storage tank (1-1) by the recycled crotonaldehyde pump (3-18). The purity of the recycled crotonaldehyde is greater than 99 wt%. The heavy components are discharged from the bottom of the crotonaldehyde tower (3-14); (6) Rectification of other reactants: The heavy components discharged from the crotonaldehyde column (3-14) are sent to the heavy component column (3-20) by the heavy component column feed pump (3-19); the temperature of the heavy component column condenser (3-22) is 117-120°C, the temperature of the heavy component column reboiler (3-23) is 173-176°C, the pressure inside the heavy component column (3-20) is 0.1-0.15 MPa, the reflux ratio is 0.54-0.

6. The light component n-butanol is discharged from the top of the heavy component column (3-20), cooled by the heavy component column condenser (3-22) and then enters the heavy component column reflux drum (3-21). Part of the n-butanol is refluxed into the heavy component column (3-20), and the other part is withdrawn to obtain n-butanol with a purity greater than 96 wt%. 2,4,6-octatrienealdehyde with a purity greater than 99 wt% is obtained at the bottom of the heavy component column (3-20).
