(Prior art and problems) As a method for producing acetic anhydride, a method in which vapor such as acetic acid, acetone or methyl acetate, ethyl acetate is thermally decomposed to absorb and react the produced ketene gas with acetic acid, anhydrous aluminum chloride, etc. There is known a method of reacting acetic acid with phosgene by using as a catalyst or a method of heating ethylidene diacetate in the presence of a catalyst such as zinc chloride. As a side reaction, acetic anhydride obtained by these known methods produces diketene by dimerization of ketene itself, and diketene, which is considered to be generated by thermal aging of acetic anhydride itself in a reaction step or the like, in acetic anhydride. And mix these acetic anhydrides with
In the case of purifying by a known method such as distillation, the boiling point difference between acetic anhydride and diketene may be small, and it is necessary to carry out precision distillation with a high reflux ratio and a high number of stages, resulting in a high energy cost. Further, even if the energy cost was ignored, it was impossible to obtain acetic anhydride without diketene detection (5 PPM or less) as in the present invention.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present inventor has earnestly studied a purification method for obtaining high-quality acetic anhydride having a small content of diketene, which is industrially and economically advantageous. As a result, they have found the fact that high-quality acetic anhydride can be easily obtained by subjecting raw material crude acetic anhydride containing diketene to ultraviolet irradiation, and arrived at the present invention.

Also, depending on the diketene content in the raw material crude acetic anhydride,
In the case of slightly coloring with this treatment, a sufficiently high-quality acetic anhydride can be industrially treated by subjecting it to simple distillation such as simple distillation after ultraviolet irradiation treatment, or by subjecting it to distillation at the same time as ultraviolet irradiation treatment. , Also found that it can be obtained economically. That is, the present invention is a method for purifying acetic anhydride, which comprises subjecting crude acetic anhydride containing diketene to ultraviolet irradiation treatment and, if necessary, distilling the crude acetic anhydride simultaneously with or after the treatment.

The irradiation conditions of ultraviolet rays are appropriately determined according to the content of diketene in acetic anhydride, the amount of the processing liquid, the output of the light source, the structure of the apparatus used, and the like. By performing the irradiation treatment for 1 to 80 hours, the purpose can be sufficiently achieved. In the case of slightly coloring in this treatment, the treatment liquid is subjected to simple distillation under a reduced pressure of about 80 Torr, or continuously charged so as to obtain a predetermined distillation time while irradiating with ultraviolet rays, It can be processed by a method of continuously distilling.

In this experiment, in order to prevent acetic anhydride from reacting with water by absorbing moisture during the treatment and becoming acetic acid, the experiment was performed in a box in which air was replaced with dry nitrogen. Also, it is not particularly limited to nitrogen, but may be in dry air. When the treatment device is a closed type and the raw material crude acetic anhydride is put in the treatment device and a light source is provided outside or inside the treatment device, vapor moisture absorption prevention measures are not necessary.

Example-2 In the same manner as in Example-1, 500 g of raw material crude acetic anhydride was treated for 70 hours and analyzed by gas chromatography every 10 hours. The results are shown in Table-1. As is clear from Table-1, diketene decreases with the processing time,
It was not detected at 0 hours. However, the one treated for 70 hours was slightly colored. This was subjected to simple distillation under reduced pressure of 100 talks to obtain colorless acetic anhydride. As a result of analyzing this product by gas chromatography, diketene was not detected.
