Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid is provided. The method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid according to the present disclosure enables use of a natural circulation type of reboiler which does not require an operating part in a destructive distillation process of recovering (meth)acrylic acid from a (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid, and therefore, stable operation of the continuous process may be achieved while simplifying equipment configuration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid from a (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid including (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylic acid dimers, and high-boiling-point by-products, wherein the recovering of (meth)acrylic acid is performed in a destructive distillation system including a distillation column including a (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid-receiving section and a distillation section at the top portion thereof, and a natural circulation type of reboiler which is connected to the distillation column and heats the liquid discharged from the lower portion of the distillation column by passing the liquid through a plurality of heat exchanger tubes to supply the liquid to the (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid-receiving section of the distillation column, and the destructive distillation system is operated such that the maximum height of the (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid in the (meth)acrylic acid waste liquid-receiving section corresponds to 85% to 100% or more of the height of the top end of the heat exchanger tube of the natural circulation type of reboiler. 2. The method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid of claim 1 , wherein a temperature fluctuation width inside the heat exchanger tube which is measured at points corresponding to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% in the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger tube of the natural circulation type of reboiler is 4.5° C. or less, respectively. 3. The method of continuously recovering (meth)acrylic acid of claim 1 , wherein the natural circulation type of reboiler is a vertical thermosiphon reboiler or a horizontal thermosiphon reboiler.
