Properties and stability
1. Methyl acrylate does not polymerize below 10°C, but polymerization easily occurs above 10°C. Light, heat, peroxide, etc. will accelerate polymerization. Hydroquinone or 4-methoxyphenol is usually added as polymerization inhibitor.
2. Methyl acrylate is moderately toxic, has strong irritating and corrosive effects on eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, and can be absorbed through the skin and cause poisoning. The oral LD50 in rats is 300 mg/kg. Rabbit oral administration LD50280mg/kg. Symptoms of chronic poisoning include headache, drowsiness, spasms of hands and feet, etc. The maximum allowable concentration in the workplace is 35 mg/m3. Ventilation should be enhanced in the operating area. Operators should wear protective equipment such as rubber gloves, masks, and protective clothing. If poisoning occurs, you should immediately move to a well-ventilated place to rest, and take glucose and vitamins B, C, etc.

Storage method
1. Storage precautions[29] Generally, products contain polymerization inhibitors. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37℃. The packaging must be sealed and must not come into contact with air. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. It should not be stored in large quantities or for long periods of time. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency spill treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
2. Packed in galvanized iron drum. It should be stored separately, protected from direct sunlight, and the storage temperature should be <21°C. A polymerization inhibitor should be added for long-term storage and transportation. Pay attention to fire prevention. Store and transport according to regulations on flammable products.
Synthesis method
The production methods of propylene methyl ester include: acrylonitrile hydrolysis method, propylene direct oxidation method and ketene method.
1. Acrylonitrile hydrolysis method uses acrylonitrile as raw material and hydrolyzes it in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. The hydrolyzed acrylamide sulfate reacts with methanol to obtain methyl acrylate. Methyl acrylate produced by the acrylonitrile hydration method consumes 860kg of acrylonitrile (98%), 960kg of methanol (95%), and 2000kg of sulfuric acid (93%) per ton of product.

2. Propylene direct oxidation method Using propylene as raw material, the first step is to oxidize acrolein and then oxidize it into acrylic acid. Acrylic acid reacts with methanol to form methyl acrylate. Methyl acrylate is produced by direct oxidation of propylene, consuming 544kg of propylene (95%) per ton of product.

3. Ketone method ketene It is condensed with formaldehyde using boron trifluoride as a catalyst, then quenched with methanol, and simultaneously esterified to generate methyl acrylate.

4. Esterification of acrylic acid and methanol LawAdd acrylic acid, methanol, and expandable graphite to the flat-bottomed flask in sequence. The ratio of acrylic acid to methanol is 1.15:1. Connect the water separator and reflux condenser, place it on a magnetic heating stirrer to heat and stir, wait for a period of reaction, and then cool. Calculate the yield using the saponification method (neutralize the remaining acrylic acid with alkali solution, then add a quantitative KOH solution for saponification, and then titrate the excess KOH with a standard HCl solution to calculate the ester yield). At the same time, the ester is separated, the reaction liquid is distilled, and the 65-95°C fraction is collected to obtain the crude product. Wash with 5% NaCO3 solution until neutral, wash twice with saturated NaCl solution, dry with anhydrous NaSO4 and then distill. Collect the 72-74°C fraction to obtain the product.
5. Improved Raper method The improved Raper method is the Romhas method and the Daubatis method. The former mainly uses gaseous carbon monoxide to replace 80% of the carbon monoxide in nickel carbonyl; the latter is also called the high-pressure Raper method, which mainly uses tetrahydrofuran as the solvent.
①Improved Raper method. After the reaction of this method starts, carbon monoxide reacts with acetylene and alcohol to form acrylate. The introduced carbon monoxide replaces the carbon monoxide in nickel carbonyl, which can reduce the regeneration of nickel carbonyl and the recovery of nickel. The solvent for the reaction is alcohol. The reaction temperature is 30~50℃, the pressure is 0.1~0.2MPa, the ratio of acetylene to carbon monoxide is (1.01~1.10):1 (molar ratio), the ratio of methanol to total carbon monoxide is (1.1~3):1 (molar ratio) ). The amount of acid is maintained at 80% to 99% (molar ratio) of nickel carbonyl to inhibit the generation of chloropropionic acid. The characteristic of this method is that it operates under normal pressure and the equipment is easy to solve, but it still needs to prepare the toxic nickel carbonyl.
②High pressure Raper method. Using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent, palladium chloride as the catalyst, and copper chloride as the accelerator, the reaction is carried out at 200 to 225°C and 8.11 to 10.13MPa. The unreacted acetylene gas at the top of the reactor is recycled after washing away the acrylic acid. The acrylic acid and tetrahydrofuran solution at the bottom of the reactor is evaporated to obtain acrylic acid after the tetrahydrofuran is evaporated. The yield of acrylic acid is about 90% based on acetylene and about 85% based on carbon monoxide. Then acrylic acid is esterified with methanol in sulfuric acid or ion exchange resin medium to obtain methyl acrylate. For example, when producing higher esters above butyl ester, an acidic catalyst is used for continuous esterification; when producing ethyl acrylate, an ion exchange resin is used as a catalyst to obtain acrylate. The characteristics of this method are: using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent, the acetylene required for the reaction is first dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, which can reduce the risk of high-pressure treatment of acetylene. At the same time, nickel carbonyl is not needed and only nickel salt is used as the catalyst. However, the operating pressure of this method is high, so the equipment material requirements are high.
