Hydroxyethyl (methyl)acrylate is prepared by a process of a combination of a three-stage tubular reactor and a tower reactor, wherein, firstly, a catalyst, a polymerization inhibitor and (methyl) acrylic acid are mixed until the solids are dissolved, then mixed with a part of ethylene oxide and thereafter enter into a first tubular reactor for a reaction, a reaction liquid flowing out from the first tubular reactor is mixed with a certain amount of ethylene oxide and enters into a second tubular reactor for a reaction, a reaction liquid flowing out from the second tubular reactor is then mixed with a certain amount of ethylene oxide and thereafter enters into a third tubular reactor, and a reaction liquid flowing out from the third tubular reactor is then passed through a stage of an adiabatic tower reactor and aged such that a product liquid is obtained from extraction. |
