Participants

Reaction Steps

Part of the acrylic acid obtained from the heavy-ends cut column was esterified with ethyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, and 2-ethylhexyl alcohol to produce ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. In the process for production of the acrylic ester, waste water was obtained at a total rate of 3.7 m3/h from the waste water 61 of the distilling column and the water phase 72 of the oil-aqueous separating device and waste oil was obtained at a rate of 555 kg/h from the bottom of the heavy-ends cut column 110.
