When producing polyethylene terephthalate from glycol and terephthalic acid, these components are used in a 1:1 molar ratio, or side reactions such as ether formation are minimized as much as possible, and the need for recovery of unused glycol is avoided. It is desirable to use a molar ratio that avoids as much as possible. In the case of a batch process, by pumping a premixed paste of glycol and terephthalic acid into the reaction vessel or by adding preweighed reactants to a partially cooled reaction vessel at atmospheric pressure. Terephthalic acid can be charged into the reaction vessel.

In the case of a continuous process, the esterification reaction vessel must be maintained at high temperature and pressure while the reactants are continuously metered into the reaction vessel. Such operations are generally carried out using a slurry pump capable of pumping a paste of glycol and terephthalic acid into a pressurized reaction vessel. This method is limited by the fact that when the ratio of glycol to terephthalic acid is low, the viscosity of the paste is very high. The problems associated with adding terephthalic acid to a pressurized reaction vessel containing warm glycol have not been satisfactorily solved by the prior art.

According to the invention, glycol and terephthalic acid can be added separately to the esterification reaction vessel. According to the present invention, a dry powder of terephthalic acid is contacted and mixed with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, pressurized to a pressure sufficient to form a suspended phase of the terephthalic acid powder. A medium suspended phase is formed and this suspended phase is metered into the esterification reaction vessel under pressure. The glycol is separately pumped into the reaction vessel in an amount appropriate to provide the desired ratio of glycol to terephthalic acid in the esterification reaction vessel.

The invention will be explained in more detail by means of the following examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing the flow of starting materials through the system. In the figure, terephthalic acid powder is conveyed from a storage tank (not shown) to an intermediate hopper 1 from which it is further fed to a metering tank 4 through a double valve system 2 and 3. The metering tank 4 is provided with a porous diaphragm 5 spaced a certain distance from the bottom of the tank 4 . Ni gas from a storage tank (not shown) is introduced into the bottom of the metering tank 4 through a conduit 6 and an activation valve 7 towards the bottom of the porous diaphragm 5. The terephthalic acid powder comes into contact with the nitrogen gas ejected from the entire surface of the diaphragm 5 through the holes 15, and is mixed and dispersed to form a suspended phase. The nitrogen gas is pressurized to approximately 80 psig. This pressure is high enough to pass through the diaphragm 5 and form a suspended phase of terephthalic acid and nitrogen gas. At this pressure, the nitrogen gas can suspend up to 65 pounds of terephthalic acid powder per pound of nitrogen gas. The suspended phase is introduced into the esterification reaction vessel 10 through conduit 8 and discharge valve 9. The esterification reaction vessel 10 includes a separation column 11,
It is equipped with a condenser 12 and a stirrer 13.
As shown, the conduit 8 is arranged in the reaction vessel 10 approximately midway between the vessel wall and the shaft of the stirrer 13, such that the tip of the conduit 8 is above the liquid level of the ethylene glycol introduced. As terephthalic acid is introduced into the esterification reaction vessel, ethylene glycol 16 is reacted through conduit 14 from a storage tank (not shown) in an amount appropriate to provide the desired ratio of glycol to terephthalic acid. Pump into container. Pump and stirrer 13 is activated to stir the ethylene glycol. When the terephthalic acid suspended phase introduced into the reaction vessel through conduit 8 comes into contact with the stirred ethylene glycol liquid surface, the terephthalic acid powder is rapidly mixed into the ethylene glycol to form a reaction mixture. The esterification reaction vessel 10 is maintained at a pressure of 70 psig and a temperature of about 270°C. Excess nitrogen gas is vented from the esterification reaction vessel 10 through the column 11. In continuous operation, low molecular weight polymer is continuously removed from the esterification reactor vessel 10 in an amount approximately equal to the amount of terephthalic acid and glycol charged to the esterification reactor vessel.

As explained above, according to the present invention, dry terephthalic acid powder can be filled into a reaction vessel maintained at high temperature and pressure, and moreover, terephthalic acid can be continuously filled. The esterification reaction is preferably carried out using glycol and terephthalic acid at a low ratio of glycol to terephthalic acid within the range of about 1.05:1 to 1.7:1. Even ratios lower than 1:1 can be filled satisfactorily using the reaction system of the present invention.

The method of the present invention provides a number of advantages over prior art methods. Glycol and terephthalic acid can be charged to the reaction vessel in any ratio. Furthermore, the reaction vessel can be maintained at high temperature and pressure while still being filled with dry terephthalic acid. If desired, more than one metering tank can be used to ensure continuous filling of terephthalic acid. The reactant compounds, especially glycols, can be preheated to the desired temperature before filling the reaction vessel. By doing so, the reaction time can be shortened.

Filling a reaction vessel with terephthalic acid by the method of the invention is accurate and reproducible. If a low ratio of glycol to terephthalic acid is used, there is no need to produce a slurry or paste that is very viscous and therefore not easy to transport into a reaction vessel, especially a reaction vessel under pressure.
