[0022] 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 normal butanol reflux is maintained. The water and butanol formed by the reaction generate an azeotropic vapor and enter the separation tower from the reaction kettle. After removing the entrained liquid in the separation tower, it enters the condenser. After all the vapor is condensed, it enters the water separator (water is at the lower layer and butanol is at the upper layer). The water is discharged in time, and 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 over.

[0023] In summary, in the present utility model, a distributor 1 and a liquid guide plate 2 are arranged inside the reaction kettle.

The generated alcohol-water vapor rises to the top of the reaction kettle through the air permeable part 10 and flows out, and the generated dibutyl phthalate flows out from the bottom of the reaction kettle. Thus, the reaction can be carried out quickly without stirring, the energy consumption is reduced, and the reaction rate of the reaction kettle is improved.
