DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention combines terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol (hereinafter referred to as BG).
The purpose of this method is to keep the amount of EG supplied to the esterification reaction system at the minimum amount, and to produce ester of uniform quality. It's about getting monsters.

Polyethylene terephthalate, which is useful for clothing and industrial materials, is produced by esterifying terephthalic acid with EG and then polycondensing it at high temperature and reduced pressure.

Here, the esterification reaction is usually carried out by mixing terephthalic acid and EG and heating it to 240 to 270°C.75- Because the boiling point of EG at normal pressure is lower than the reaction temperature, the reaction has conventionally been carried out. 2~5kg/cyAG

In this case, EG is dissolved in the reaction solution at most of I/1, and the reaction can be carried out stably by removing water produced by the reaction.

However, the concentration of hydroxyl groups in the reaction solution increases, which tends to cause the formation of ether bonds, which lowers the softening point of the polymer.Also, when used as an ether bond formation inhibitor, the amines added may color the polymer. have

In other words, since the reaction pressure is low, the amount of EG dissolved in the reaction solution is small7<fi! ;+, that is, the concentration of hydroxyl groups in the reaction solution becomes low, and the amount of ether bonds produced becomes extremely small.

このことは逆に供給したEGの多くがエステル化反応器

This means that much of the supplied EG is discharged outside the esterification reactor.

As a method for this, a method can be considered in which EG obtained by dehydrating and purifying the steam generated from the esterification reactor by a distillation operation is directly circulated to the slurry mixing tank, and a fixed amount of EG is replenished from outside the system.

In addition, in the above method, it is necessary to increase the amount of EG to be replenished, taking into consideration the case where the amount of circulating iEG decreases due to an increase in the amount of EG held up in the distillation column and reactor. EG must be constantly extracted, resulting in a large amount of wasted EG consumption.

In the present invention, the steam generated from the esterification reactor contains, in addition to EG, a large amount of water produced by the esterification reaction, small amounts of aldehydes, oligomers, etc., and is dehydrated and purified by a distillation operation.

It is preferable to keep the water content in the extracted BG at 10% by weight or less.

If the water content is higher than this, there will be more water in the BG to be recycled and reused, which will not only increase the heat load on the esterification reactor but also cause a hydrolysis reaction, resulting in a decrease in the esterification rate and a reduction in the slurry. When mixed with terephthalic acid in a mixing tank, water vapor causes problems such as clogging of the terephthalic acid supply pipe, which is not preferable.

前記水分率10重量%以下になって塔底より取出された

As a method of controlling the storage amount to be constant, for example, a generally commercially available bubble blowing type or diaphragm type liquid level gauge is installed in the EG mixing tank and connected to the EG piping that is supplied from outside the reaction system. Various methods can be adopted, such as maintaining the amount of EG retained in the EG mixing tank at a constant amount by interlocking with an attached control valve.

This is because the composition of the EG taken out from the bottom of the distillation column is different from the newly replenished EG, and if the capacity of the EG mixing tank is too small, the composition of water, oligomers, etc. other than EG may change. It is possible that it will become larger.

On the other hand, if it becomes too large, EG containing oligomers etc. will remain at high temperature for a long time, which is not preferable.
