PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUS RECOVERING (METH)ACRYLIC ACID AND APPARATUS FOR THE PROCESS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for continuously recovering (meth) acrylic acid. According to the method of the present invention, a (meth) acrylic acid recovery rate, which is the same or higher than that of the prior method, can be obtained; the use amount of an extraction solvent and the amount of energy consumption can be substantially reduced; and (Meth) acrylate polymerization reaction can be minimized during a recovery process. Therefore, increased productivity and operational stability can be provided. The method includes the steps of: obtaining a (meth) acrylic acid solution and then supplying the obtained (meth) acrylic acid solution to an extraction tower (200); extracting (meth) acrylic acid by making the (meth) acrylic acid solution contact the extraction solvent in order to supply the obtained extraction phase to a water separation tower (300); and obtaining (meth) acrylic acid by distilling the extraction phase.
