Description

Method for preparing dimethyl maleate by using maleic anhydride tail gas
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing dimethyl maleate by using maleic anhydride tail gas.
Background
The method is characterized in that n-butane is used as a raw material to obtain high-temperature mixed gas containing maleic anhydride through oxidation, and at present, two methods are mainly adopted to recover the maleic anhydride, including a water recovery process and an organic solvent recovery process.
The water recovery process has the advantages that water which is cheap and easy to obtain is used as an absorbent, and the chemical absorption rate is high. However, maleic acid and fumaric acid generated by the reaction of maleic anhydride and water easily corrode equipment to block pipelines, so that the yield of maleic anhydride is low, and a large amount of wastewater is easily generated.
The organic solvent absorption process is to absorb maleic anhydride by using an organic solvent as an absorbent, and the currently commonly used organic solvents comprise dibutyl phthalate, dibutyl hexahydrophthalate and diisobutyl hexahydrophthalate. The organic solvent absorption process effectively overcomes the defects of easy corrosion of equipment, low yield of maleic anhydride and large amount of wastewater existing in the water absorption process, and gradually replaces the water recovery process to become the main recovery method of maleic anhydride. However, the cost of the organic solvent is high, and the maleic anhydride product can be obtained only by rectification separation after maleic anhydride is absorbed, so that the energy consumption is high, and the method is not suitable for industrial production.
