The invention relates to a catalytic rectifying apparatus for splitting chirality 1-phenethyl alcohol by virtue of lipase and a method for producing the chirality 1-phenethyl. The catalytic rectifyingapparatus is characterized by comprising a rectifying tower body with a reaction section upper material inlet, a reaction section lower material inlet, a top material outlet and a kettle material outlet, wherein the 1-phenethyl alcohol is introduced from the reaction section upper material inlet, an acyl donor is introduced from the reaction section lower material inlet, a reaction section in therectifying tower is filled with the lipase fixed on the resin and used as a catalyst, and the top material outlet discharges a reaction product fatty alcohol; and a reaction product R-type ester, non-reacted S-type 1-phenethyl alcohol and acyl donor are discharged from the bottom of the tower. By utilizing the apparatus and method of the invention, the reaction conversion rate of 99 percent of R-1-phenethyl alcohol or more can be realized, the R-type ester product with enantiomeric excess greater than 99 percent and the S-1-phenethyl alcohol with the enantiomeric excess greater than 98 percent can be obtained, the production process is greatly simplified, the device size, and the energy consumption and the operation expense are reduced.
