FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to improved method of obtaining (meth)acrylic ester including stage of etherification of (meth)acrylic acid with C1-C4alcohol in presence of catalyst from highly acidic cation-exchange resin in form of immovable layer for obtaining (meth)acrylic ester; addition of polymerisation inhibitor into reactor or into distillation column for isolation; stage of isolation, at which (meth)acrylic acid that did not react is separated from reaction solution, obtained at reaction stage, where temperature in distillation column still is in the range from 60 to 100°C, and pressure at the top of distillation column is in the range from 1.33 to 26.7 kPa; and recirculation stage in order to return thus obtained (meth)acrylic acid, that did not react, to reaction stage, where solid substances, contained in isolated (meth)acrylic acid that did not react and is returned to reaction stage, are isolated from it. In industry used method of obtaining (meth)acrylic esters is improved in such way as to prolong service life of used in it catalyst from highly acidic cation-exchange resin.
EFFECT: elaboration of improved method of obtaining (meth)acrylic ester.
