PTW (dimethyl terephthalate) is an important raw material for chemical production, which is widely used in plastics, fibers, coatings and other fields. The following is the manufacturing method of PTW:
1. Raw Material Preparation
The main raw materials for manufacturing PTW are terephthalic acid (PTA) and methanol (MeOH). Before starting production, it is necessary to ensure that the quality and purity of the raw materials meet the requirements, and at the same time check and clean the equipment to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.
2. Esterification Reaction
PTA and MeOH are added to the esterification reactor according to a certain molar ratio, usually a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is used. Under the action of high temperature, high pressure and catalyst, PTA and MeOH are esterified to produce PTW and water. The temperature and pressure need to be controlled during the reaction to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction.
3. Catalyst Removal
After the
reaction is completed, the catalyst needs to be removed from the reaction system to avoid affecting the subsequent process. The catalyst is usually neutralized with a basic absorbent and precipitated from the reaction system.
After the
catalyst is removed
the 4. distillation separation
, the reaction solution needs to be fractionated to obtain the PTW product with higher purity. Usually a multi-column rectification process is used, first separating the water and then separating the PTW from the methanol. It is necessary to control the column temperature and reflux ratio during the separation process to obtain the best product quality and yield.
5. product quality inspection and packaging
The separated PTW products need to be tested for quality, including purity, chroma, acid value and other indicators. After the test is qualified, the packaging is put into storage and the whole manufacturing process is completed.
The above is the manufacturing method of PTW. The specific production process needs to be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation to ensure product quality and production efficiency. At the same time, the production process needs to pay attention to safety and environmental protection, and comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards.
