The application relates to a
continuous flow preparation process of
cyclobutane tetracarboxylic dianhydride,
maleic anhydride is added into a
material storage bottle, a reaction
solvent is added, the saturated solution of
maleic anhydride is prepared by fully stirring, and
temperature control is conducted on the saturated solution; the
light source of a reactor is turned on in advance, the saturated solution of
maleic anhydride is sent to the reactor, the reaction liquid output from the reactor is sent to a product separator, the separated
solid is recycled, and the liquid is sent back to the
material storage bottle; a circulating channel is formed among the
material storage bottle, the reactor, the product separator and the material storage bottle, and the circulating channel is always maintained in a fluid flow state. The application constructs the
continuous flow production equipment capable of always maintaining the fluid flow, the
solid separated in the reactor by
light excitation can be timely taken into the product separator for separation, the
solid cannot adhere to the inner wall of the reactor to affect the light blocking, and the light can always be more uniformly and thoroughly penetrated through the reactor and utilized.
