A process for continuously preparing dialkyl carbonates and diols, comprising the steps of: feeding a cyclic carbonate and an aliphatic monohydric alcohol into a continuous multistage distillation column; conducting transesterification in the presence of a catalyst in either one or both the distillation column or a transesterification reactor which has been connected liquid-tight to the distillation column so as to continuously receive the liquid in the distillation column from the column and to return the liquid to the column after the reaction, and withdrawing a gaseous low-boiling mixture containing dialkyl carbonates from the top of the distillation column while withdrawing a liquid high-boiling mixture from the bottom of the column; and continuously hydrolyzing an unreacted cyclic carbonate in the latter mixture into diols and carbon dioxide. This process enables dialkyl carbonates and high-purity diols to be prepared with a high productivity even when aliphatic monohydric alcohols containing dialkyl carbonates is used as the starting material.

Ce procédé, qui permet de préparer en continu des carbonates de dialkyle et des diols, consiste: à introduire un carbonate cyclique et un alcool monovalent aliphatique dans une colonne de distillation multi-étage en continu; à procéder à une transestérification en présence d'un catalyseur, dans la colonne de distillation et/ou dans un réacteur de transestérification raccordé de façon étanche aux liquides à cette colonne de distillation de manière à recevoir en continu le liquide de cette colonne et à l'y renvoyer après la réaction; à prélever un mélange gazeux à faible point d'ébullition, contenant des carbonates de dialkyle, depuis le sommet de la colonne de distillation, tout en prélevant un mélange liquide, à point d'ébullition élevé, depuis le bas de la colonne; et à hydrolyser en continu un carbonate cyclique n'ayant pas réagi, présent dans ce mélange, en des diols et du dioxyde de carbone. Ce procédé permet de préparer des carbonates de dialkyle, et des diols de haute pureté, avec un rendement élevé même quand on utilise comme matériau de départ des alcools monovalents aliphatiques contenant des carbonates de dialkyle.
