    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated process for preparing trioxane from formaldehyde in which, in a first step, a stream A 1 comprising water and formaldehyde and a recycle stream B 2 consisting substantially of water and formaldehyde are fed to a trioxane synthesis reactor in which the formaldehyde is converted to trioxane to obtain a product stream A 2 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde. Stream A 2 and a recycle stream D 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde are fed to a first distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 0.1 to 2.5 bar to obtain a stream B 1 enriched in trioxane, and the stream B 2 consisting substantially of water and formaldehyde. Stream B 1 is fed to a second distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 0.2 to 17.5 bar to obtain a product stream C 2 consisting substantially of trioxane, and a stream C 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde. Stream C 1 is fed to a third distillation column and distilled at a pressure in the range from 1 to 10 bar to obtain the recycle stream D 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde, and a stream D 2 consisting substantially of water.

    Abstract: A process for removing trioxane from a mixture I of formaldehyde, trioxane and water, by a) distilling the mixture I in a first distillation stage at a pressure of from 0.1 to 2 bar to obtain a stream II which comprises formaldehyde and a stream III which comprises predominantly trioxane and additionally water and formaldehyde, b) mixing the stream III with a recycle stream VII which comprises predominantly trioxane and additionally water and formaldehyde to obtain a stream IIIa which comprises predominantly trioxane and additionally water and formaldehyde, c) distilling the stream IIIa, if appropriate after removing low boilers from the stream III or IIIa in a further distillation stage, in a second distillation stage at a pressure of from 0.2 to 10 bar, the pressure in the second distillation stage being at least 0.1 bar higher than the pressure in the first distillation stage, to obtain a stream IV of trioxane and a stream V which comprises predominantly trioxane and additionally water and formaldehyde, d) distilling the stream V in a third distillation stage at a pressure of from 0.1 to 4 bar to obtain a stream VI which comprises predominantly water and additionally formaldehyde, and the recycle stream VII which comprises predominantly trioxane and additionally water and formaldehyde, e) if appropriate, distilling the stream VI in a fourth distillation stage to obtain a stream VIII which comprises predominantly water, and a stream IX which comprises predominantly formaldehyde.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating trioxane from a mixture containing formaldehyde, trioxane and water. According to said method: the mixture (1) is distilled in a first distillation stage (7) at a pressure of between 0.1 and 2 bar to obtain a stream (8) containing formaldehyde and a stream (9) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde; the stream (9) is mixed with a recycling stream (19) containin g predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde to form a stre am (10) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyd e; the stream (10) is then distilled in a second distillation stage (14) at a pressure of between 0.2 and 10 bar, optionally after the separation of low- boilers from the stream (9) or (10) in an additional distillation stage (11) . The pressure in the second distillation stage (14) is at least 0.1 bar highe r than the pressure in the first distillation stage (7). Said distillation produces a stream (15) consisting of trioxane and a stream (16) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde. The stream (1 6) is then distilled in a third distillation stage (17) at a pressure of betwee n 0.1 and 4 bar, to obtain a stream (18) containing predominantly water, in addition to formaldehyde and the recycling stream (19) containing predominantly trioxane, in addition to water and formaldehyde. The resultant stream (18) is optionally distilled in a fourth distillation stage (20), to obtain a stream (21) containing predominantly water and a stream (22) containing predominantly formaldehyde.
