Abstract

The invention provides a method for producing citrate by using a microchannel reactor. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving citric acid in alcohol to obtain citric acid alcohol liquor; heating a catalyst column to a constant temperature; introducing the citric acid alcohol liquor to the microchannel reactor (1), wherein the citric acid alcohol liquor passes through the catalyst column at a constant flow rate; and collecting a catalyst column effluent to obtain the citrate. The method is simple in process, can continuously produce citrate, has high operating safety and high selectivity, and is small in reaction volume and short in time. The catalyst can be repeatedly used, and the equipment is hardly corroded. Meanwhile, as no water carrying agents are used, the esterification rate is over 96% by means of such characteristics of the microchannel reactor as efficient heat mass transfer capacity and easiness in direct amplification. The product has high quality and the energy consumption is low, so that the method is an environment-friendly and efficient method for synthesizing citrate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for producing citrate by using a microchannel reactor. Background technique [0002] Plasticizer is the largest consumption of plastic additives, and its consumption accounts for more than 60% of the total consumption of plastic additives. At present, there are more than 500 kinds of plasticizers that have been commercialized, but the most consumed ones are phthalate plasticizers, especially di(2-ethyl)hexyl phthalate (DOP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), accounting for about 80% of the total consumption of plasticizers. In recent years, with people's attention to health and the in-depth research on phthalate plasticizers, it has been found that phthalate plasticizers pose a health threat to humans, and even have carcinogenic effects, especially on the development of infants and children The impact is greater. The United States, Japan, Sweden and other countries have en...
