METHOD OF PRODUCING ACRYLIC ACID DERIVATIVE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C07C51/44 C07C57/05 C07C67/08 C07C69/54 C08F2/00 C08F20/00 C07C51/42 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an improved method of producing butylacrylate involving: reaction of acrylic acid with butanol in the presence of water and a catalyst in a reactor; where the starting material is an aqueous solution of acrylic acid which is at least one of: (1) condensed water, obtained from vapour used in a kinetic vacuum pump which transports gas after trapping fluid process medium- vapour which is blown at high speed, (2) water for hydraulic sealing in a liquid ring pump which isolates liquid-water after air is let into the housing, (3) water used for collecting acrylic acid in the device which collects acrylic acid from an acrylic acid-containing gas, and acrylic acid which is not present in the aqueous solution of acrylic acid, where the device used for collecting acrylic acid is one or more devices selected from a group comprising a packed column, a plate-type column, a spray column and a scrubber. The invention also relates to a method of producing a super-absorbing polymer based on acrylic acid, involving the following steps: polymerisation of acrylic acid, in which the aqueous phase used is an emulsified aqueous solution of an acrylic acid monomer and water, dehydration of the obtained mixture during azerotropic distillation, where the starting material is aqueous acrylic acid solution which is at least one of the following: condensed water obtained from vapour used in a kinetic vacuum pump which transports gas after trapping fluid process medium - vapour, which is blown at high speed, water for hydraulic sealing in a liquid ring pump which isolates liquid-water after air is let into the housing, water used for collecting acrylic acid in the device which collects acrylic acid from an acrylic acid-containing gas, and acrylic acid which is not present in the aqueous solution of acrylic acid, where the device used for collecting acrylic acid is one or more devices selected from a group comprising a packed column, a plate-type column, a spray column and a scrubber.

EFFECT: design of an efficient method of using aqueous solution of (meth)acrylic acid with low concentration, formed at the stage for producing/storing (meth)acrylic acid.
