[0002] The production process of butyl acrylate is a typical reversible esterification reaction, and its chemical equilibrium is affected by various factors. To promote this reaction in the direction of product formation, according to Le Chatelier's principle, the industry generally adopts the strategy of excessive butanol.

[0021] Embodiment
[0022] Add the acrylic acid heavy fraction and butyl acrylate heavy fraction to the depolymerization reactor 1. Set the temperature in the depolymerization reactor 1 to 130 - 240 °C and the pressure to -60 - -80 kPa for the depolymerization reaction. Depolymerize the acrylic acid dimer and butyl butoxypropionate to obtain acrylic acid, butyl acrylate, and butanol. The acrylic acid and butanol produced by the depolymerization can be used as raw materials to produce butyl acrylate. To prevent the re-polymerization of acrylic acid due to the reversible reaction, add an inhibitor from the inhibitor solution tank 9 to the depolymerization reactor 1 and the depolymerization rectification tower 2.
[0023] Transport the product through a pipeline to the depolymerization rectification tower 2. The depolymerization rectification tower 2 purifies the product and transfers the purified product through a pipeline to the esterification reactor 3 for the esterification reaction. The liquid impurities after rectification are transferred to the water treatment system 6 for treatment, and the viscous liquid is transferred through a pipeline to the residue incineration unit 7 for incineration.
[0024] There are acrylic acid and butanol raw materials in the esterification reactor 3. Add a catalyst from the catalyst solution tank 10 to the esterification reactor 3 and carry out the esterification reaction under the conditions of 80 - 115 °C, a pressure of -60 - -70 kPa, and an alcohol-acid molar ratio controlled at 1.2 - 1.4.
[0025] After the esterification reactor 3 synthesizes butyl acrylate, transfer the product through a pipeline to the esterification rectification tower 4 for purification. The esterification rectification tower 4 transfers the purified intermediate product of butyl acrylate through a pipeline to the intermediate product tank 8, and the remaining substances are transferred through a pipeline to the alcohol recovery device 5.
[0026] After the alcohol recovery device 5 collects and separates butanol from the impurities, transfer the butanol back to the esterification reactor 3 through a pipeline. The generated gaseous substances are collected by the vent trap 11, and the remaining liquid impurities are transferred through a pipeline to the water treatment system 6. The viscous liquid is transferred to the residue incineration system 7 for incineration treatment.
[0027] The residue incineration device 7 is connected to the depolymerization reactor 1 and the esterification reactor 3. The steam released by incinerating the residue is used for the esterification reactor 3, and the generated heat transfer oil is used for the depolymerization reaction of the depolymerization reactor 1, saving energy.
[0028] Through the above system for the synthesis of butyl acrylate, the sum of the mass fractions of the effective components of the product obtained by the depolymerization reaction and the depolymerization rectification, namely butyl acrylate and acrylic acid, can reach 80% - 90%. The conversion rate of acrylic acid in the esterification reaction can reach 98% - 99%, and there is also 3% - 5% of butyl butoxypropionate by mass fraction. During the alcohol recovery process, the mass fraction of butanol in the obtained product is 70% - 85%.
[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
