The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthetic
chemistry, and particularly relates to a synthesis process of N-
methylaniline. By adopting the special
biomass porous carbon loaded
nickel-
copper bimetallic catalyst, the selectivity and the conversion rate of the reaction are improved, and the generation of byproducts is reduced, so that the burden of subsequent separation is reduced, the
utilization rate of the raw materials is improved, and the yield is increased by introducing the micro-channel reactor and combining a
microwave heating technology. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the mixing efficiency and the
heat mass transfer rate of materials are improved, the reaction time is shortened, in the separation and purification process, a membrane separation and rectification combined technology and an efficient
phase splitter are adopted,
salt water is not needed, salt-containing
wastewater is avoided, meanwhile, the
recovery efficiency of
methanol and
aniline is improved, and cyclic utilization of a
solvent is achieved. The whole process reduces the
energy consumption, improves the production efficiency, reduces the emission of pollutants and meets the requirements of
green chemistry through
waste heat recovery, heating mode optimization and
separation process.
