METHOD OF PRODUCING ALLYL ALCOHOL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C07C33/03 C07C29/82 B01D3/36 C07C27/02 C07C53/08 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method of producing allyl alcohol, which involves an allyl acetate hydrolysis step, a distillation step for separating and refining the reaction product and a recuperation step for collecting reaction material after the distillation step. Ally acetate, which is a component of the reaction material, acts as a displacer of azeotropic distillation and the portion of ally acetate, which acts as displacer, is fed to the distillation step, where a portion of liquid and/or gas which was recuperated at an extra step after the distillation step and contains 80 wt % or more unreacted ally acetate is fed to the distillation step.

EFFECT: disclosed method enables reduction of energy required for separation during azeotropic distillation without significantly lowering efficiency of separation.
