(57) Abstract: Provided is an improved method for producing an alkyl (meth) acrylate. The present invention relates to a process for producing an alkyl (meth) acrylate, comprising: (A) a C 1 -C 4 alcohol, (meth) acrylic acid, a strong acid catalyst and at least 5% by weight for producing a reaction mixture. % of water were charged to the reactor, by reacting a reaction mixture to produce impurities arising in (B) C 1 -C 4 alkyl (meth) acrylate and the manufacturing process, the impurities are hydrolyzed in the reactor further (C) separating the C 1 -C 4 alkyl (meth) acrylate and water formed during the reaction from the reaction mixture, wherein is disclosed. |
