In the present invention, reactor 10 can be for take the tubular type homogeneous reactor that formic acid is autocatalysis agent, flash tank 11 can be the common heating evaporating pot of jacketed, coil pipe or shell and tube, and the first rectifying tower 12 and Second distillation column 16 can be all conventional tray column or packing tower.
From the material of the first rectifying tower 12 side line extraction, can be vapour phase, can be also liquid phase, is preferably vapour phase.The vapour phase of side line extraction can directly enter Second distillation column 16, also can after condensation liquefaction, enter Second distillation column 16 again.
From the aqueous formic acid obtaining at the bottom of the first rectifying tower 12 towers, formic acid content is 55-70wt%, and all the other are water; In side line extraction material, containing methanol content, be 50-70wt%, formic acid content is 0.5-2.5wt%, and methyl-formiate content is 15-35wt%, and all the other are water; In the methanol aqueous solution obtaining at the bottom of Second distillation column 16 towers, methanol content is 65-85wt%, and all the other are water.
In the present invention, the vapor-phase material 23 that reaction product forms after the interior heating of flash tank 11 vaporization and liquid phase material 24 are respectively from middle and upper part and the middle and lower part charging of the first rectifying tower 12; For top charging, methyl alcohol, formic acid and water are assembled downwards as heavy constituent; For underfeed, methyl-formiate and methyl alcohol are upwards assembled as light constituent again; The acting in conjunction of two bursts of chargings is that the region intermediate at two opening for feeds forms a methyl alcohol enrichment region; As by the material in methyl alcohol enrichment region in good time from extraction in tower, will make in tower methanol content in each column plate liquid phase greatly decline, be conducive to facilitation of hydrolysis; In addition,, because the first rectifying tower top adds again the first supplementary rectifying tower raw water 22, the further hydrolysis of methyl-formiate will be more conducive to impel; Near inrichment due to methyl alcohol Dan extraction district may cause, in this place's tower, reverse esterification occurs; Applicant finds through great many of experiments, is rich in the vapor-phase material of methyl alcohol by side line extraction, and in whole tower, percent hydrolysis can significantly be greater than resterification rate, and net effect is that in tower, hydrolysis reaction is more preponderated.
In order to prevent that the material of extraction from containing more formic acid, can make side line extraction material is vapour phase; But nonetheless in material, still can contain a small amount of formic acid, cause formic acid can not be all from extraction at the bottom of the first rectifying tower; In order to simplify follow-up separation process, in Second distillation column 16 by a small amount of formic acid of bringing into and methyl alcohol generation esterification regeneration methyl-formiate, the methyl-formiate of self bringing into together with side line material steams Returning reactor from the tower top of Second distillation column 16, at the bottom of the tower of Second distillation column 16, can obtain the methanol aqueous solution that does not contain formic acid.
According to described technique, adopt one way hydrolysis conversion of the present invention can reach 40-55%, be better than current traditional technology one way hydrolysis conversion not higher than 20% level.
Below by specific embodiment, the invention will be further described, but the present invention should be interpreted as and be only applicable to following case.
