[0021] The esterification process in the production of dibutyl phthalate: The equipment includes a reaction kettle, a condenser, a separation tower and a water separator. During production, a quantitative amount of phthalic anhydride and a catalyst are put into the esterification kettle at one time, and the raw material butanol is added in several times according to the reaction conditions. The temperature is raised and the normal butanol reflux is maintained. The water and butanol formed by the reaction form an azeotropic vapor and enter the separation tower from the reaction kettle. After the entrained liquid is separated in the separation tower, it enters the condenser. After the vapor is completely condensed, it enters the water separator (water is in the lower layer and butanol is in the upper layer), and the water is discharged in time. The butanol returns to the reaction kettle again. During the reaction process, the acid value of the material should be measured frequently. When the acid value of the material in the kettle is less than 3.5 mg / g (KOH), the reaction is completed.

The extractant slowly flows into the distributor 11 and mixes with the phthalic anhydride flowing in from the phthalic anhydride inlet 3, and then flows into the catalyst placement tray 12. The fixed catalyst in the retaining ring plate 17 continues to mix and react with the mixed liquid. After the liquid level is higher than the retaining ring plate 17, it flows into the overflow tray 16. When the overflow tray 16 is full, it flows into the plate separation column 10. At the same time, the isobutanol inlet 4 and the isobutanol circulating liquid inlet 5 connected to the water separator flow into the isobutanol to react with the mixed liquid. The generated water and butanol form an azeotropic vapor and enter the separation column from the reaction kettle. After the entrained liquid is separated in the separation column, it enters the condenser. After all the steam is condensed, it enters the water separator (water is in the lower layer and butanol is in the upper layer). The water is discharged in time, and the butanol returns to the reaction kettle to continue the reaction.

[0023] In summary, the utility model adopts a double-plate separation column for reaction, adds an extractant to improve the efficiency of the esterification reaction, and uses a solid catalyst to reduce the corrosion of the pipe body. Therefore, it has the advantages of short reaction time, high reaction conversion rate, low corrosivity, and convenient maintenance, reduces energy consumption, and improves product quality.
