    Main equipment

    Esterification kettle, washing pot, filter rectification kettle (rectification tower), liquid separator, storage tank
    .

    6.
    Production process

    Add 400kg of acetic acid, 375kg of ethanol, and 3kg of concentrated sulfuric acid to the enamel reaction kettle, stir, heat, and reflux for 6 hours.
    Steam the crude ethyl acetate in the kettle and put it in the washing pot, and wash with the prepared 5% sodium chloride solution , And then adjust the pH of the material in the pot to 8 with a mixed aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride
    .


    Then it was washed once with calcium chloride solution to separate the water layer


    7.
    Laboratory preparation method

    Place a 250 mL round bottom flask containing 25 mL of ethanol under ice water cooling, and slowly add 25 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid
    .


    The mouth of the flask is equipped with a separatory funnel through a stopper, and the lower end is immersed in the liquid, and at the same time, a bend glass tube connected with a straight condenser is inserted into the stopper
