Risk analysis of oxalate dimethyl ester synthesis process

This paper focuses on dimethyl oxalate and conducts the following research based on the analysis of the hazards in the synthesis process of dimethyl oxalate and the development of a safety evaluation system: (1) It mainly introduces the process flow for synthesizing dimethyl oxalate. (2) The safety risk matrix method and HAZOP analysis are used to conduct hazard analyses at each process node of the dimethyl oxalate synthesis process. (3) Aspen is used to achieve steady-state simulation of the dimethyl oxalate synthesis process.
