TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to hydroxyethyl methacrylate production technical field, especially in hydroxyethyl methacrylate production is used absorption tower. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydroxyethyl methacrylate is prepared by adding iron thiocyanate, tetramethylammonium chloride and a little amount of hydroquinone into methacrylic acid, stirring and heating to 90 DEG C, and then introducing ethylene oxide gas under nitrogen protection for about 2 hours. The reaction product is cooled to 60 DEG C, and then distilled under reduced pressure after adding a little amount of hydroquinone. The fraction collected at 86-89 DEG C (0.67 kPa) is the finished product, and the yield is more than 80%.
[0003] During the production of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, an absorption tower is needed.
[0003] HEMA may partially polymerize in the absorption tower due to temperature fluctuation or residual initiator (such as peroxide), generating polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) colloidal particles. Therefore, a filter assembly is needed. However, if no filter is used, the downstream catalyst may be poisoned (such as the degradation product of the polymerization inhibitor MEHQ adsorbed on the surface of the catalyst), and the purity of the product may decrease (PHEMA mixed into the finished product may reduce the content of HEMA monomer from 99.5% to below 98%, affecting the efficiency of the subsequent polymerization reaction). However, the existing filter structure is usually welded or bolted in the tower, and disassembly requires shutdown and emptying of the tower body, which has high maintenance cost.
