The invention belongs to the technical field of
epoxy resin production, and particularly relates to a low-energy-consumption
epoxy resin production process. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing
bisphenol A with
epoxy chloropropane, and dissolving the
bisphenol A by utilizing high-temperature steam and hot water linkage heating; then heating and adding a
sodium hydroxide solution for pre-reaction; controlling pressure and temperature, and adding a
sodium hydroxide solution for main reaction; after the reaction is completed, under different pressure and temperature conditions, recovering
epichlorohydrin by using high-temperature steam, finally, ending
recovery through low-temperature steam bubbling, cooling, then heating, adding benzyltriethylammonium
chloride and a
sodium hydroxide solution for reaction, carrying out
water washing and liquid separation twice, and pumping residual
toluene resin into a debenzolization kettle. And finally, debenzolization: completing
toluene recovery and water removal by using low-temperature steam bubbling to obtain the product. According to the production technology, steam heat in the production process is fully utilized to obtain hot water for heat recycling, the energy
utilization rate is greatly increased, operation is easy, and safety is high.
