摘要:
In the process for the continuous preparation of alkyl esters of (meth)acrylic acid by reacting (meth)acrylic acid with monohydric alkanols having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the presence of an acid esterification catalyst in a reaction zone, there is discharged from the reaction zone a product mixture which comprises the alkyl (meth)acrylate formed, the catalyst and the by-products formed during the course of the esterification having boiling points higher than that of the alkyl (meth)acrylate, and from which the alkyl (meth)acrylate is separated by distillation in a separation zone. The product mixture discharged from the reaction zone is fed to a rectification unit (I), in this unit the product mixture discharged is separated by rectification into at least one product (I) comprising the alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid and a product (II) comprising the catalyst, the product (I) is fed to a further rectification unit (II) and in this the alkyl ester of (meth)acrylic acid is separated off by rectification.

In a process and an apparatus for the continuous preparation of alkyl esters of (meth)acrylic acid by reacting (meth)acrylic acid with alkanols having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms in a homogeneous, liquid, solvent-free phase at elevated temperature and in the presence of an acid esterification catalyst, in which the (meth)acrylic acid, the alkanol and the catalyst are fed to a reaction zone, the water formed is removed by rectification during a residence time as constituent of a mixture comprising alkanol in a rectification unit superposed on the reaction zone, the distillate thus obtained is separated into an organic phase comprising alkanol and an aqueous phase comprising water, the organic phase is returned to the rectification unit, the reaction mixture is discharged from the reaction zone and conveyed into a distillative separation zone comprising further rectification units and in the latter the alkyl (meth)acrylate formed is separated off.
摘要:
The process for the esterification of (meth)acrylic acid with an alkanol in the presence of an esterification catalyst, in which unconverted starting compounds and the (meth)acrylate to be formed are separated off by distillation and an oxyester-containing bottom product is formed and is separated off, and (a) in the bottom product separated off, the oxyesters present are cleaved, if required after the addition of (meth)acrylic acid and/or oligomeric (meth)acrylic acid, directly in the presence of acid catalysts differing from (meth)acrylic acid and/or oligomeric (meth)acrylic acid, and the cleavage products are removed, a cleavage residue remaining, or (b) the oxyesters are first removed by distillation from the cleavage product separated off, a distillation residue remaining, and the oxyesters removed are cleaved, if required after addition of (meth)acrylic acid and/or oligomeric (meth)acrylic acid, in the presence of acid catalysts differing from (meth)acrylic acid and/or oligomeric (meth)acrylic acid, and the cleavage products are removed, a cleavage residue remaining, is carried out in such a way that the cleavage residue obtained in step (a) or the cleavage residue obtained in step (b) is hydrolytically cleaved together with the resulting distillation residue in the presence of water and acids or bases.
摘要:
A method is described of stabilizing (meth)acrylic esters against unwanted free-radical polymerization, in which the mixture to be stabilized has added to it a polymerization inhibitor mixture comprising at least one nitroxyl radical and/or at least one organic compound having at least one nitroso group, and at least one p-phenylenediamine.
摘要:
A method for continuous production of (meth)acrylic alkyl esters by reacting (meth)acrylic acid with alkanols containing 1-8 C-atoms, whereby raw (meth)acrylic acid containing acetic acid is used as a starting compound and the alkyl acetate that is formed as a by-product is evacuated in an appropriate area.
摘要:
In a process for esterifying (meth)acrylic acid with an alkanol in the presence of an acidic esterification catalyst, in which unconverted starting compounds and the (meth)acrylates to be formed are separated off by distillation and an oxyester-containing bottom product is formed, the bottom product is separated off and is heated in the presence of an acid to 150-250.degree. C. and the pressure is adjusted so that the cleavage products formed under the abovementioned conditions from the oxyesters contained in the bottom product evaporate directly. The process can be carried out in the presence of molecular oxygen. Mineral acids, for example sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid and/or alkanesulfonic or arylsulfonic acids, for example methanesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, can be added to the bottom product.

In a process for esterifying (meth)acrylic acid with an alkanol in the presence of an esterification catalyst, in which unconverted starting compounds and (meth)acrylic ester to be formed are separated off by distillation and an oxyester-containing bottom product is formed, the bottom product is first separated off and then the oxyesters contained in it are cleaved in the presence of a relatively long-chain alkylbenzenesulfonic acid at elevated temperatures.

Plant parts which are used for the production or processing of (meth)acrylic esters are cleaned by (a) emptying the plant parts, (b) flushing the plant parts with aqueous 5 to 50% strength by weight alkali metal hydroxide solution, (c) removing the alkali metal hydroxide solution from the plant parts, (d) if required, washing the plant parts with water and (e) if required, drying the plant parts.

Crude (meth)acrylic acid is purified by a process in which a primary amine compound and an organic sulfonic acid are added to the crude (meth)acrylic acid and the latter is then worked up by distillation.
