The invention discloses a method and equipment thereof for synthesizing methyl isobuthl
ketone with an
acetone two-
step method. The method includes the steps that a, DAA and MSO are generated by condensation and
dehydration of the
raw material of
acetone in a
catalytic distillation column, products rich in MSO and water are side taken off from the
catalytic distillation column; b, a material containing DAA is side taken off from the
catalytic distillation column, and put into a DAA
decomposition reactor, DAA in the material is transformed into
acetone and MSO, the products are separated by
flash evaporation to obtain a
gas phase rich in acetone and a
liquid phase rich in MSO and water, the
gas phase and the
liquid phase are respectively circulated back to the column; c, the
liquid phase products in the step a are cooled and divided into phases, an organic phase rich in MSO and a water phase containing small amounts of
organic matter are obtained, the water phase enters into a recoverytower to recycle
organic matter; d, MIBK is generated by the hydrogenation of the organic phase in the step c, after
hydrogen gas is recycled by
flash evaporation, then enters into an MIBK refining
tower, and a MIBK product is side taken off. The total conversion rate of acetone is 99.0%, and the product MIBK purify is up to 99.5%.
