[0002] Nonylphenol ethyl ester is a type of nonionic surfactant synthesized by nonylphenol and ethoxylation. They have strong emulsifying, wetting and dispersing properties, so they are widely used in many industrial and household applications. In the production process of nonylphenol ethyl ester, acetic acid by-product is produced. The presence of this product will produce a reverse reaction, reducing nonylphenol ethyl ester to nonylphenol, reducing the conversion rate of nonylphenol and the purity of ethyl ester. Nowadays, acetic acid is usually removed by vacuum distillation, adding water to dissolve the acetic acid in the ester, and then dehydrating the washed ester under reduced pressure.

[0003] However, the common method of removing acetic acid is complicated, and the efficiency of distilling acetic acid under this condition is low. After adding water, the ester is emulsified under acidic conditions, and the water is not completely removed, resulting in a long time for removing acetic acid by distilling water. In view of this, we propose a device for removing acetic acid from nonylphenol ethyl ester by high vacuum aeration. Utility Model Content
