The invention relates to a production method of triethyl phosphite, which belongs to the technical field of
chemical production. Absolute ethyl
alcohol,
phosphorous trichloride are taken as main material, pure benzol is taken as
solvent,
triethylamine is taken as acid-binding agent,
liquid ammonia is taken as
reducing agent, and the
triethyl phosphate is prepared through the processes of three-complex liquor preparing, synthetic reaction, water scrubbing reaction, layering,
drying, crude
distillation, rectifying, recovering and
ammonia recovery and the like. The method adopts
continuous production process of
triethylamine, the material charging and the product discharging are continuous, the production capacity is strong, and the product quality is stable. With equal equipment and investment, the capacity of the method can be 6 to 7 times as the capacity of intermittent method. The method solves the problems of the prior production method that the production capacity is small, the
production cycle of the product is long, the
material consumption is large, the quality is unstable, the
discharge amount of 'three wastes' is large, and the yield can not be guaranteed. The method has the advantages that the
liquid ammonia is taken as
reducing agent, the cost is low, the
recovery factor of excess
ammonia can reach more than 90 percent, the recovered
ammonium chloride can be used as the crude product of
ammonium fertilizer, the production cost is lowered, and the environmental
pollution is reduced.
