[0036] Example 2
[0037] In the present invention, the purity of the liquid sample to be tested is detected by an Agilent GC8860 chromatograph, and a liquid phase automatic sampler is used for injection to avoid human error. The needle is not cleaned with a solvent, and only 1 uL of the sample to be tested is injected after rinsing 8 times.
[0038] Ethyl mercaptan crude product liquid phase 1, components: ethyl mercaptan 75.4%, ethyl sulfide 12.7%, hydrogen sulfide 9.1%, and the total content of other impurities 2.8%.
[0039] 450 mL of the crude product was added to the reaction flask, and nitrogen was introduced into the crude product from the left outlet through the air guide tube for aeration, maintaining a nitrogen flow rate of 20 mL / min for a total of 15 minutes. After the nitrogen aeration was completed, a sample was taken from the right outlet for analysis, and the hydrogen sulfide content in the crude product was 0.3%, which met the allowable residual hydrogen sulfide standard in the crude product. The two stopcocks on the conduit were opened, and about 300 mL of the treated crude product was sent to the reaction flask;
[0040] A 200mm-long vertical spiked fractionation column with filler and a 300mm serpentine condenser were used. The cooling water temperature was -6°C and the heater was heated in an oil bath. The temperature was controlled at 35°C to start distillation. The calculation started from the first drop of liquid from the sample bottle. In addition, the fractions collected in the first 10 minutes were not refluxed to prevent the light components from being continuously present in the product and unable to be removed.
[0041] From the 10th minute onwards, when the sample bottle stopped dripping, 1.5 mL of sample was taken for analysis, and the content of ethyl mercaptan in about 80 mL was 95.1%, which met the industrial grade quality.
[0042] Raise the temperature of the heater to 37°C and continue rectification. After the sample collection bottle stops dripping, take 1.5 mL of the sample for analysis. The content of ethyl mercaptan is 99.2%, which does not meet the quality of first-class products. It is returned to the reaction flask through the conduit. Rectify again and take a sample for analysis, obtaining approximately 60 mL of ethyl mercaptan with a content of 99.5%, meeting the requirements of first-class products.
[0043] Raise the temperature of the heater to 42°C. After the sample collection bottle stops dripping, take 1.5 mL of the sample for analysis. The content of ethyl mercaptan is 99.6%, which does not meet the quality of superior products. It is returned to the reaction flask. Rectify for the second time and take a sample for analysis, obtaining an ethyl mercaptan content of 99.8%. It is returned to the reaction flask. Rectify for the third time and take a sample for analysis, obtaining approximately 25 mL of ethyl mercaptan with a content of 99.9%, meeting the quality of superior products.
[0044] When the liquid level in the reaction flask is too low, the remaining treated crude product in the reaction flask can be sent back to the reaction flask to continue rectification.

[0047] Add 500 mL of the above-mentioned crude product to the reaction flask. Nitrogen enters the crude product for aeration through the left branch port by the gas conduit, maintaining a nitrogen flow rate of 15 mL / min for a total of 15 min. After completing nitrogen aeration, take a sample from the right branch port to analyze the content of hydrogen sulfide in the crude product, which is 0.2%, meeting the allowable residual standard of hydrogen sulfide in the crude product. Open the two cocks on the conduit and send approximately 300 mL of the treated crude product to the reaction flask;

[0051] Raise the heater temperature to 40°C. After the sample receiving bottle stops dripping, take 1.5 mL of the sample for analysis. The content of ethanethiol is 99.7%, which does not meet the quality of first-class products. Return it to the reaction flask, conduct secondary rectification and sampling analysis, and obtain approximately 40 mL of ethanethiol with a content of 99.9%, which meets the quality of first-class products.
