Abstract

The invention discloses a technique for preparing oxalic acid by performing continuous reaction rectification hydrolysis on dimethyl oxalate. The raw material dimethyl oxalate is subjected to autocatalytic hydrolysis in a continuous reaction rectification dividing wall column to prepare the oxalic acid. The technique has the characteristics of high reaction speed, high reaction conversion rate, simple equipment, low energy consumption and no environmental pollution in the preparation process, and the hydrolysis conversion rate of the dimethyl oxalate is up to 99% above. The technique completely solves the problem that the dimethyl oxalate solid can not be subjected to continuous reaction rectification and can easily block the column.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrolysis of solid dimethyl oxalate, in particular to a process for preparing oxalic acid by continuous reaction distillation and hydrolysis of dimethyl oxalate. Background technique [0002] Oxalic acid is an important organic chemical raw material, often used in the preparation of fine chemical raw materials. Oxalic acid has a wide range of industrial applications, such as widely used in medicine, dye intermediates, extraction of rare metals, and defense industry. There are many existing industrial production methods for oxalic acid, among which sodium formate dehydrogenation is more representative. my country is a big producer of oxalic acid and also a big exporter of oxalic acid. However, the traditional sodium formate dehydrogenation method has been used in oxalic acid production technology for a long time. This technology is not only costly, but also causes equipment corrosion and environmental p...
