[0002] Neopentyl glycol is an important raw material for chemical production. Usually, distillation technology is used to separate the neopentyl glycol mixed solution with high purity. Because neopentyl glycol is easily soluble in water, lower alcohols, lower ketones, ethers and aromatic compounds, it is impossible to fully extract neopentyl glycol by ordinary single distillation during production, which will result in low yield and poor quality of neopentyl glycol.

[0036] The prepared neopentyl glycol mixed solution is transported from the material pipeline 9 to the middle of the distillation tower 1, and the transported neopentyl glycol mixed solution is preliminarily heated by the steam ejector 10, so that part of the light phase components are discharged from the top of the distillation tower 1, and the remaining neopentyl glycol mixed solution flows to the bottom of the distillation tower 1, and is heated by the reboiling heat exchanger-5 and then transported back to the distillation tower 1. The distillation tower 1 is operated under the condition of -0.085MPa, and the light phase components are vaporized and rise to the upper part of the distillation tower 1, and are heated again by the electric heater 11 and discharged from the top of the distillation tower 1.

After the distillation is completed, the crude neopentyl glycol at the bottom of the distillation tower 1 is transported to the purification tower 2 for purification. The purification tower 2 is operated under the condition of -0.095MPa. The crude neopentyl glycol is heated by the reboiling heat exchanger 2 7 at the bottom of the purification tower 2, and the vaporized neopentyl glycol product is discharged from the top of the purification tower 2 and condensed by the heat exchanger 2 8 to obtain the neopentyl glycol product. The neopentyl glycol product enters the storage tank 2 3 for storage and is transported through the product pipeline 12 for use. The heavy phase component at the bottom of the purification tower 2 is treated by the reboiling heat exchanger 2 7 and then recovered through the recovery pipe 13.
