The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, in particular to a continuous preparation method of
triethyl phosphate, which comprises the following steps: S1, adding a
solvent A into a reaction kettle for bottoming, cooling to 20-30 DEG C in a stirring state, continuously introducing
phosphorus oxychloride,
ethanol, a
solvent B and an acid-binding agent, and reacting for 1-2 hours; enabling the
phosphorus oxychloride, the
ethanol, the
solvent B and the acid-binding agent to react to form reaction liquid, and enabling the reaction liquid to overflow into a
neutralization kettle; s2, adding
ammonia water into the
neutralization kettle, and standing for layering to obtain an organic phase and a water phase; s3, evaporating, dehydrating, cooling and crystallizing the water phase to obtain
ammonium chloride; and respectively carrying out salt
drying and rectification on the organic phase to obtain the
triethyl phosphate. According to the continuous preparation method of
triethyl phosphate, provided by the invention, the damage of
hydrogen chloride to
alcohol and ester during high-temperature dealcoholization is thoroughly avoided, and the yield reaches 717kg / h or above; the product yield is increased from 88% to about 98%, the purity can reach 99.92% or above, and the
moisture content is as low as about 200 ppm.
