Polycaprolactone polyol is one of starting materials of high-grade polyurethane materials, caprolactone is a temperature sensitive substance and can easily self-polymerize into 2-10 molecular oligomers at high temperature, and in the production process of epsilon-caprolactone, the temperature of a rectification process is high, epsilon-caprolactone can generate self-polymerization to a certain degree, so that the waste amount is increased, the production cost is increased, and the generated high-boiling-point waste is sludge-like fluid at normal temperature and becomes solid after being placed for a period of time, so that the treatment difficulty is high, and the method is a delicate environment-friendly problem. The problems cannot be well solved by adopting an azeotropic distillation mode at present.
