[0003] AKD synthesis mainly has two processes: one is solvent process, and the main raw materials are triethylamine, fatty acid chloride and toluene, wherein toluene is a solvent. In the synthesis reaction, due to the presence of solvent toluene, the material flowability is good, and the viscosity is low. Generally, kettle type stirring mixing reaction mode is adopted.

[0004] The other is solvent-free process, and the main raw materials are triethylamine and fatty acid chloride. In the solvent-free process for synthesizing papermaking additives AKD, the material viscosity is large in the later stage of reaction, and the material contains fine triethylamine hydrochloride solid particles. When the temperature T is 65 DEG C, the material viscosity can reach 130000 mPa.s. After the reaction is completed, the triethylamine hydrochloride solid particles in the AKD product need to be dissolved in the solution, so as to realize the stratification of AKD in the triethylamine hydrochloride aqueous solution. The lower layer triethylamine is separated from water after reaction with alkali to obtain triethylamine crude product containing 3%~4% water. However, the water content in the triethylamine crude product does not meet the production requirement of 0.3%, and long-time standing stratification or additional dehydration device and dehydrating agent are needed, which is complex in operation and high in cost.
