Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical production, in particular to an esterification reaction structure. Background Art
[0002] Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is an important organic chemical raw material and a monomer for homogeneous polymerization or copolymerization. It is widely used in industries such as home appliances, automobiles, construction, sanitary ware, instruments and meters, and advertising decoration. When producing MMA, the intermediate product acetone cyanohydrin and 100% (wt) sulfuric acid are usually used as raw materials. α-formamidoisopropyl hydrogen sulfate is generated through acylation reaction, and methacrylamide sulfate (MAAS) is obtained through transposition rearrangement reaction. The MAAS is esterified with methanol to generate methyl methacrylate (MMA), and then the qualified product MMA is produced through light removal and distillation in the refining unit. In order to ensure the esterification effect when the MAAS is esterified with methanol to generate methyl methacrylate (MMA), the material is usually esterified through an esterification reactor.

[0004] In the above technical solution, during the esterification reaction, the motor drives the rotating rod in the reactor to drive the stirring blade to rotate, so as to stir the materials in the reactor. However, during the esterification reaction, the esterification reactor needs to continuously perform esterification reaction on the materials, so that the stirring blade needs to rotate and stir continuously, which causes the motor, the rotating rod and the stirring blade to easily malfunction after long-term operation, resulting in a short stop in the production process due to the maintenance of the esterification reactor, which seriously affects the normal production.
