The invention belongs to the field of
fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a
continuous production device and method of high-purity
isosorbide. The device comprises a reaction unit, a separation unit and a purification unit which are sequentially connected, the reaction unit comprises a preheater and a reactor, the separation unit comprises a
settling tank, a filter, a dehydrating
tower and a
distillation tower, and the purification unit comprises a decolorizing
tower, a rectifying tower and a crystallizing tower. A
sorbitol raw material enters a preheater to be preheated, the preheated material enters a reactor to be subjected to a
dehydration reaction, the reacted material flows out of a discharging port in the upper portion of the reactor to enter a shell pass of a
dehydration tower to be subjected to heat exchange and cooling, the cooled material enters a
settling tank to settle
solid waste, supernate enters a filter to be filtered, and a
liquid phase flows into the
dehydration tower to be subjected to water removal and concentration; and distilling out crude
isosorbide in a
distillation tower, and purifying the
isosorbide crude product through a decolorizing tower, a rectifying tower and a crystallizing tower to obtain the high-purity isosorbide. The method has the outstanding characteristics of
continuous production, separation and purification, and
continuous production of high-purity isosorbide can be realized.
