[0002] The chemical formula of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is C 16 H 22 O4, it belongs to ester compound, and the molecular structure is generated by phthalic acid (a binary acid) and two molecules of butanol (n-butanol or isobutyl alcohol) through esterification reaction. The molecular structure contains benzene ring, ester group and other functional groups, and two ester groups are connected at the adjacent position of the benzene ring.
[0003] In the workshop production process, the raw material enters the reaction kettle at normal temperature, and the temperature of the reaction kettle is 140-150 DEG C. With continuous feeding, the temperature of the reaction kettle fluctuates greatly, affecting the normal progress of the reaction. The product after the reaction needs to be washed a lot when passing through the neutralization tank and the water washing tank, and the waste water produced directly enters the sewage treatment device, which not only increases the waste water treatment capacity, but also causes waste of recyclable raw materials such as n-butanol in the waste water, causing economic loss to the enterprise. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0004] According to the deficiencies in the above prior art, the utility model aims to provide a dibutyl phthalate continuous production device, which uses the waste heat generated in the working process of the condenser for preheating the kettle to preheat the raw material, greatly improves the production efficiency and energy utilization rate, and removes the impurities generated in the conveying process of the raw material through the phthalic anhydride activated carbon adsorption tank and the n-butanol molecular adsorption tower, improving the product quality. Through the cooperation of the recovery tank, the distillation tower and the temporary storage tank, the waste water generated by the neutralization tank and the water washing tank is recovered and treated, and the n-butanol is recovered for production in the reaction kettle, reducing the waste water treatment capacity and improving the raw material utilization rate.
[0005] The utility model is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The reaction kettle and the preheating kettle are both provided with stirring devices, so the pipelines are all provided with heat preservation layers.
[0008] The inside of the reaction kettle is equipped with a stirring paddle, and the reaction kettle is connected with an o-phthalic anhydride activated carbon adsorption tank.
[0009] The inside of the preheating kettle is equipped with a preheating kettle coil pipe, the inside of the condenser is equipped with a condenser coil pipe, and the condenser coil pipe is connected with the preheating kettle coil pipe through a connecting pipeline.
[0010] The phase separation tower is connected with the reaction kettle through a phase separation tower return pipeline, and the phase separation tower is equipped with an observation port.
[0011] The neutralization tank is connected with the distillation tower through a recovery tank, a neutralization tank waste water collecting pipeline is connected between the neutralization tank and the recovery tank, and the water washing tank is connected with the recovery tank through the water washing tank waste water collecting pipeline.
[0012] The distillation tower is connected with the phase separation tower return pipeline through a temporary storage tank, a filter is arranged between the decoloring kettle and the distillation tower, and a reaction kettle discharge pipeline is arranged between the reaction kettle and the neutralization tank. The filter is a combination of a backwashing filter and a plate and frame filter press.
[0013] The production process is as follows: taking o-phthalic anhydride and n-butanol as main raw materials, under the action of acid catalysts such as sulfuric acid, esterification reaction is carried out at 140-150 DEG C. First, o-phthalic anhydride and n-butanol are added to the reaction kettle according to the molar ratio of 1: (2.2-2.5). The reaction kettle is provided with a stirring device and a heating device. Water is generated during the esterification reaction, in order to make the reaction proceed in the positive direction, the generated water needs to be removed. The azeotropic distillation method is used to remove water from the reaction system by using the azeotrope formed by n-butanol and water (the azeotropic point is about 92.7 DEG C). After the azeotrope is cooled by the condenser, it enters the phase separation tower, and the water phase and the organic phase are separated, and the organic phase (mainly n-butanol) returns to the reaction kettle to continue the reaction. The crude product after the reaction contains acidic catalysts, which needs to be treated by neutralization in the neutralization tank. The neutralizing agent is sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide solution. The product after neutralization is washed with water in the water washing tank to remove residual salts and unreacted raw materials and other impurities. The product after neutralization and water washing may contain some pigments and a small amount of solid impurities, which need to be treated by adding activated carbon and other decoloring agents in the decoloring kettle. After stirring in the decoloring kettle for a certain period of time, the activated carbon and other solid impurities are removed by the filter to obtain relatively pure dibutyl phthalate product. Then, through the distillation tower, according to the different boiling points of dibutyl phthalate and other impurities (such as a small amount of unreacted n-butanol), further separation and purification are carried out to obtain high-purity product. The recovery tank, the distillation tower and the temporary storage tank are used for recycling the waste water generated by the neutralization tank and the water washing tank, and the recovered n-butanol is used for the production of the reaction kettle; the waste heat generated in the working process of the condenser is used for preheating the raw materials in the preheating kettle.
