The invention discloses a
continuous reaction system and method for co-producing
solid and liquid
sodium ethyl
xanthate, and relates to the technical field of
sodium ethyl
xanthate production. The
system comprises a reaction kettle, a stirring motor, a
raw material discharging
pipe, an alkali liquor discharging
pipe, a discharging
pipe, a circulating liquid outlet pipeline, a centrifugal
machine, a
drying machine, a
xanthate storage tank, a plurality of groups of
control valves and a plurality of groups of
backflow pipelines, which form a closed-loop reaction and
separation system. The method comprises the following steps: feeding
ethanol,
carbon disulfide and caustic soda liquid with the concentration of more than or equal to 40% according to a
molar ratio of 1: (0.9-1.2): (1.0-1.2), carrying out an initial reaction at 30-36 DEG C for 2.5-4.5 h, carrying out circulating separation,
mother liquor recycling and continuous alkali supplementation to realize
continuous production, and simultaneously producing liquid
sodium ethyl xanthate and
solid xanthate obtained by
drying at 40-60 DEG C for 0.5-2.5 h. According to the method, reaction balance is promoted through high-concentration alkali, the
raw material conversion rate is increased, the problem of
solid precipitation is solved through the process of reaction-separation-recycling, product diversification is achieved,
batch reaction is upgraded to
continuous production, the productivity and stability are improved, and different market requirements are met.
