Dimethyl Terephthalate: Terephthalic Acid and Methanol Sprayed through a Hot Tube

Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) is the methyl ester of terephthalic acid, a raw material for polyesters. Terephthalic acid does not melt, so Lotz and Gerlach (US 2,876,252, 1959) spray it as a suspension in methanol, with a little phosphoric acid, into a tube heated to 280–300 °C. The ester condenses as long needles that melt at 141 °C; the patent's yield was 97 %. The picture: our diagram.

Maagizo

1

Make the suspension

Stir 1000 g of finely powdered terephthalic acid and 60 cc of 85 % phosphoric acid into 1000 cc of methanol.

Vifaa kwa hatua hii:

Asidi ya tereftalikiAsidi ya tereftaliki1000 g
MethanoliMethanoli1000 ml

Zana zinazohitajika:

Asidi ya fosforiki (85 %)Asidi ya fosforiki (85 %)
Mizani ya mizani-mbiliMizani ya mizani-mbili
Silinda yenye vipimoSilinda yenye vipimo

2

Heat the reaction tube

Heat a long cylindrical reaction tube electrically to 280–300 °C (the patent's was 300 cm long and 40 cm wide). A cooled condenser follows it.

Zana zinazohitajika:

Bomba la mmenyuko lenye jotoBomba la mmenyuko lenye joto
Themokapo yenye kionyeshiThemokapo yenye kionyeshi
Koili ya kifidishajiKoili ya kifidishaji
3

Spray it in with nitrogen

Spray the suspension with nitrogen through a nozzle into the tube, so the fine spray travels in a spiral along the tube wall. The acid and methanol react on the way.
