Abstract

The invention relates to an azeotropic method used in methyl acetate catalyzing rectification hydrolysis, mainly solving the problems of the prior methyl acetate catalyzing rectification hydrolysis process including complex flows and high energy consumption. The azeotropic method solves the problems better through adopting the technical proposal which comprises the following steps that: water and methyl acetate are mixed and fed in a catalyzing rectification tower from the top of the tower; the top of the tower is of total reflux and a mixture comprising methanol, acetic acid and water is obtained inside a tower bottom; the mixture is fed in a dealcoholization tower, and the distillate at the top of the dealcoholization tower is a methanol aqueous solution, while an acetic aqueous solution is obtained inside a tower bottom; the methanol aqueous solution is fed in an alcohol treating tower, and the distillate at the top of the alcohol treating tower is methanol, while waste water is generated inside a tower bottom; the acetic aqueous solution is fed in an azeotropic rectification tower which takes one sort of benzene, cyclohexane, isopropyl acetate and n-butyl acetate as an azeotropic agent; a biphase mixture of the azeotropic agent and water is obtained inside the top phase splitter of the azeotropic rectification tower with the water collected from the top of the tower and the azeotropic agent returned to the inside of the tower, while pure acetic acid is obtained inside the tower bottom of the azeotropic rectification tower. The azeotropic method can be used in the industrial production for reclaiming byproduct methyl acetate during producing polyvinyl alcohol.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an azeotropic method for catalytic rectification and hydrolysis of methyl acetate. Background technique [0002] There is a large amount of by-product methyl acetate in the production process of polyvinyl alcohol. It is estimated that 1.5-1.7 tons of methyl acetate will be produced for every ton of polyvinyl alcohol produced. Due to the small industrial use of methyl acetate, it needs to be hydrolyzed into acetic acid and methanol. After separation and purification, methanol is used in the polymerization process of vinyl acetate, and acetic acid is used in the synthesis of vinyl acetate. In the past, domestic and foreign manufacturers all adopted the fixed-bed methyl acetate hydrolysis process with ion exchange resin as the catalyst. The disadvantage of this process is that the single-pass conversion rate is low (the hydrolysis rate can only reach 23% to 24%), a large amount of unreacted methyl acetate needs to be recycled, th...
