The invention discloses a clean production method of a
bifunctional acrylic ester
reactive diluent. The clean production method is characterized by comprising the following specific steps: (1) performing
esterification reaction: adding dihydric
alcohol and
acrylic acid at a
molar ratio of dihydric
alcohol to
acrylic acid being 1:2 to 2.2 into a reactor, further adding an aqueous
solvent, a catalyst, a
polymerization inhibitor and an
antioxidant subtractive agent, inletting air or a
mixed gas of
nitrogen and air from the bottom of the reactor, heating to 80-120 DEG C for refluxing, esterifying and separating water, detecting the
acid value when substantially no water is separated out, and after a qualified standard is reached, cooling to 50 DEG C; (2) adding esterified water in the step 1, stirring and leaving to stand for layering, separating out an aqueous layer, as a
raw material for next
esterification reaction, containing the catalyst and a part of
excess acid; (3) distilling the reaction
solvent in vacuum, and detecting the
acid value after finish of
distillation; (4) removing the remaining acid through
epoxide ring-opening reaction; (5) detecting product indexes. In the clean production method, neither the conventional
processing method, comprising neutralizing and washing, nor the
processing method, comprising neutralizing, adsorbing by using an adsorbent and filtering, is used. By the clean production method, both organic
wastewater and
solid chemical waste residues are not generated, so that the clean production method can completely meet clean production requirements in the industry; in the production process, no material loss is caused, and all processes are completed in the same reactor, so that the
economic benefits are high.
