Method For Preparing Acrylic Acid

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing acrylic acid, comprising the steps of: obtaining a reaction product including lactic acid, water, light gas components, and acrylic acid, by supplying a lactic acid aqueous solution to a reactor to undergo a dehydration reaction; separating into a lower fraction containing acrylic acid and lactic acid and an upper fraction containing acrylic acid, water, and light gas components, by supplying the reaction product to a first cooling tower; obtaining a lower fraction containing acrylic acid and water, by supplying the upper fraction of the first cooling tower to a second cooling tower; obtaining a liquid extraction containing acrylic acid and an extraction solvent, by supplying the lower fraction of the second cooling tower to an extraction tower; obtaining a lower fraction containing acrylic acid and lactic acid, by supplying the lower fraction of the first cooling tower and the liquid extraction to an azeotropic distillation tower; and obtaining acrylic acid by supplying the lower fraction of the azeotropic distillation tower to an acrylic acid recovery tower.
