Abstract

See full text

In order to perform organic synthesis process through action with supercritical water and acid stably while suppressing a trouble caused by a by-product, a method and an apparatus are provided, including the following steps. Water is supplied to high-pressure pumps (110) and (210) from water headers (101) and (201), and a pressure-reducing valve (324) is regulated to increase the pressure to 35 MPa. Temperatures of preheaters (120) and (220) and a heater (310) are increased until the reaction solution is at a temperature of 400° C. Acid (sulfuric acid) and an organic compound raw material (glycerin) are supplied from an acid header (203) and a raw-material header (203′) for action with the supercritical water to obtain a reaction solution. The obtained reaction solution is cooled to 100 to 200° C. by first cooling (420) and a solid component included in the reaction solution is separated for removal from the reaction solution by a filter (320), and then the reaction solution is cooled to a temperature of about 100° C. or lower by second cooling (620) and pressure thereof is reduced (324). Further, the reaction solution is cooled by third cooling (720) and then a synthesized product (acrolein) is captured.
