Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily and efficiently recover methacrylic acid from a bottom residue after separating the methacrylic acid by distillation, by adding an organic solvent to the bottom residue and removing the deposited polymer and high-boiling components by filtration. CONSTITUTION:An organic solvent, e.g. n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, cyclohexane, toluene, ethylbenzene or xylene, in an amount of normally 1-4 times based on a bottom residue after separating methacrylic acid by distillation is added thereto to remove the deposited polymer and high-boiling components by filtration using a cartridge filter, pressure leaf filter, etc. Thereby, the methacrylic acid which has been discarded or incinerated together with the polymer and high-boiling components as the bottom residue is advantageously recovered.

[Problems to be Solved by the Prior Art and the Invention It is not possible to catalytically oxidize inbutylene, tertiary butanol, methacrolein or inbutylartecht with molecular oxygen in the presence of water vapor in a one- or two-step reaction. The resulting methacrylic acid can be made into a highly pure product by conventional purification methods such as extraction and distillation. However, in order to finally obtain methacrylic acid, it is necessary to remove low-boiling components such as aldehydes and ketones from the methacrylic acid aqueous solution, recover the solvent after the extraction process, separate acids with lower boiling points than methacrylic acid, and then remove high-boiling components from the methacrylic acid aqueous solution. separation and repeated exposure to heating conditions. Therefore, each step of the treatment is carried out in the presence of conventionally known polymerization inhibitors such as phenothiazine, hensifetchiazine, hydroquinone, methoxyhydroquinone, methylene blue, and molecular oxygen, in order to completely inhibit the polymerization of methacrylic acid, etc. With each step, polymers such as methacrylic acid are gradually accumulated, and in the final step, the amount reaches a level that cannot be ignored. Therefore, since a considerable amount of polymer is present in the high boiling point components after rectifying methacrylic acid,
If the distillation rate (distillation amount/supply amount) of methacrylic acid is too high, the viscosity of the liquid in the can will increase, deteriorating the thermal efficiency of the reboiler, and further promoting the polymerization of methacrylic acid, etc. result. Therefore, the distillation rate of methacrylic acid must necessarily be kept below a certain range, and a considerable amount of methacrylic acid will be discharged together with high-boiling components including polymers as bottom liquid from the tank.

Examples of the organic solvent used in the present invention include aliphatic hydrocarbons such as lobenkune, rhohebutane, n-hexane and n-octane, alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, and aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylbenzene, xylene and toluene. I can list the following. Also, the amount of organic solvent added varies depending on the type of solvent and the composition of the remaining liquid in the can.
Usually, 1 to 4 times the amount (weight) of the remaining liquid in the can is used. 1
If the amount is less than double the amount (weight), the polymer and high boiling point components will not be precipitated enough, and the original purpose cannot be achieved.
If more than 4 times the amount (weight) is used, it is not preferable because the energy cost for separating and recovering the solvent increases when it is returned to the previous process.
