production method | there are six production methods for acrylates: ethylene cyanohydrin method; High pressure Reppe method; Improved Raper method; β-propiolactone method (Goodrich method); Hydrolysis of acrylonitrile and alcohol; Propylene oxidation method. The current production methods are acrylonitrile method, β-propiolactone method, reber method using acetylene as raw material and propylene oxidation method. Among them, propylene oxidation is currently the most widely used method. 1. Acrylonitrile method This method is actually the development of early cyanoethanol method. The first step is to heat and hydrolyze acrylonitrile and sulfuric acid to generate acrylamide sulfate. The second step is esterified with alcohol to generate corresponding acrylate and by-product ammonium bisulfate. 2.β-propanolactone method ketene and anhydrous formaldehyde are reacted into β-propanolactone in the gas phase at 25 ℃ in the presence of aluminum trichloride. It can be purified and directly reacted with alcohol and sulfuric acid to form the corresponding acrylate. This method has high product purity, by-products and end-reaction materials can be recycled, the yield is high, the reaction conditions are simple, suitable for continuous production, but the cost of raw materials is high. 3. During World War II, Repper found that there were two ways to react acetylene, carbon monoxide and water or alcohol to form acrylic acid or acrylate. One is called stoichiometry and the other is called catalysis. These two methods have great difficulties in industrialization due to factors such as the toxicity of nickel carbonyl, the consumption of nickel and the risk of acetylene at high temperatures. 4. Propylene direct oxidation method Propylene is first oxidized to acrolein, and then further oxidized to acrylic acid. The production of acrylate from acrylic acid is made by the continuous esterification reaction of acrylic acid and the corresponding alcohol in the presence of an ion exchange resin catalyst at the boiling point temperature. there are six production methods for ethyl acrylate: ethylene cyanohydrin method, high pressure reber method, improved reber method, β-propiolactone method, hydrolysis method of acrylonitrile and alcohol, propylene oxidation method.
