The invention discloses a method for continuously synthesizing trichloracetic
aldehyde and a device thereof.
Ethanol and
chlorine gas react through countercurrent contact, a reaction vessel consists of three stages of loop reaction vessels and
one stage of filling material reaction vessel or a plate type reaction vessel, the mol ratio of the
chlorine gas to the
ethanol is 3.5 to 4.5 / 1, and the mol ratio of water to the
ethanol is 0.6 to 1.5 / 1. The first stage of the reaction vessel has the temperature between 10 and 30 DEG C, the second stage of the reaction vessel has the temperature between50 and 75 DEG C, the third stage of the reaction vessel has the temperature between 80 and 95 DEG C, and the third stage of the reaction vessel has the temperature between 80 and 110 DEG C. The
chlorine gas is introduced through the bottom of the second stage, the third stage and the fourth stage of the reaction vessels,
tail chlorine of the second stage, the third stage and the fourth stage of the reaction vessels enters the first stage of the reaction vessel after being merged, the
ethanol is added from the first stage of the reaction vessel, intermediate products of the reaction sequentially flow into a next stage of the reaction vessel, and the water is respectively added at different heights of the fourth stage of the reaction vessel. The method and the device have the advantages that the reaction yield and the equipment
utilization rate are high, and the invention has good industrial application prospects.
