Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of lactone distillation column, specifically a precision distillation column for purifying lactones. Background Technology

[0002] Lactones are essentially cyclic ester compounds, classified into two categories: naturally extracted and artificially synthesized. Natural lactones are mostly found in plant and microbial metabolites; industrially, they are mainly synthesized through intramolecular dehydration of carboxylic acids or hydroxy acids, and reactions of epoxides with carbon dioxide. A precision distillation column is a special distillation device that achieves efficient and high-purity separation of components in a mixture through refined design and control, and is primarily used to purify substances requiring extremely high separation precision. The purification of lactones requires consideration of their thermosensitive and easily polymerizable characteristics, and typically employs a combination of pretreatment, core distillation, and post-treatment processes. Therefore, a precision distillation column is needed for the purification of lactones.

[0003] In existing precision distillation columns for purifying lactones, several trays are typically horizontally arranged inside the column. This increases the probability of material retention and impurity accumulation. Furthermore, most lactones are prone to ring-opening polymerization under the heating environment of horizontal trays. With prolonged residence time, they gradually form dimers, trimers, and even polymers. These polymers are usually high-boiling-point, high-viscosity viscous substances that adhere to the surface of the horizontal trays. Moreover, the cyclic ester groups of lactones have limited stability and easily decompose at high temperatures to form carboxylic acids, alcohols, or olefins. Some of these decomposition products may further react, forming solid residues or high-boiling-point viscous substances. These substances cannot be discharged with the gas-liquid flow and will deposit in the dead corners of the trays and the edges of the sieve holes, gradually causing blockages. This necessitates the shutdown and disassembly of the precision distillation column for maintenance, reducing the purification efficiency and increasing the workload of the workers, failing to meet the required standards. Utility Model Content
