Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dioctyl terephthalate technology, specifically to an esterification reactor for the production of dioctyl terephthalate. Background Technology

[0002] Dioctyl terephthalate (DTP) is an organic compound and one of the most widely used plasticizers in the plastics industry. When added during the processing and molding of plastic products, it can significantly improve the flexibility of the finished product. An esterification reactor is the equipment that carries out the esterification reaction when DTP is added. The esterification reactor can react DTP with a catalyst.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent CN213590423U discloses a dioctyl terephthalate esterification reactor, comprising a reactor body and a coil. A motor is installed at the top of the reactor body, and the motor is connected to a stirring device inside the reactor body. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the reactor body. A first feed port, a second feed port, an air outlet, and a vacuum extraction port are also provided above the reactor body. The first feed port is sealed and connected to an octanol storage tank. The second feed port is provided with a sealing cover. The air outlet is sealed and connected to a condenser. The condenser is connected to an alcohol-water separator. The water outlet of the alcohol-water separator is connected to a water tank, and the alcohol outlet is connected to the octanol storage tank. The vacuum extraction port is connected to a vacuum pump.

[0004] Although this device can remove the water generated during the esterification reaction and realize the recycling of octanol, in actual use, reactants tend to accumulate at the bottom of the esterification vessel. Over time, this accumulation can affect the normal use of the esterification vessel. In existing technologies, the esterification vessel often needs to be disassembled and cleaned manually, which greatly reduces the efficiency of the esterification vessel. Therefore, an esterification vessel for the production of dioctyl phthalate with anti-deposition function is proposed. Utility Model Content
