[0010] (3) Mother liquor treatment: the washed methanol mother liquor is recovered by distillation, the remaining concentrated liquid in the column is discharged and 10% by volume of pure water is added, after stirring, it is separated into layers and oil and water are separated, 0.1% of activated carbon is added to the water phase, and then it is transferred to the environmental protection treatment system, and the oil phase enters the reduction process.

[0011] As a preferred, the working parameters of the centrifuge in step (1) are: rotation speed 850-1200 rpm, and temperature control at 55±5℃.
