The invention relates to a synthetic method of
nitrobenzene, which comprises the following steps: under adiabatic conditions, introducing a first
stream of mixed acid and
benzene into the first stage of a multi-stage stirring reactor for
nitration reaction, then introducing a second
stream of mixed acid into the second stage to the Nth stage in batches for continuous
nitration reaction, and separating
nitration reaction liquid to obtain
nitrobenzene, wherein the number of stages of the multi-stage stirring reactor is M, N is larger than 2 and smaller than M, the first mixed acid is obtained by mixing a first
sulfuric acid, a
nitric acid and a tetravalent
cerium compound at the temperature of 50-60 DEG C, the
mass fraction of the
nitric acid is 0.5%-1.5%, the
mass fraction of the
sulfuric acid is 65%-68%, the second mixed acid is obtained by mixing a second
sulfuric acid, a
nitric acid and a tetravalent
cerium compound, and the
mass fraction of the second sulfuric acid is 0.5%-1.5%. The temperature of the second
stream of sulfuric acid is lower than that of the first stream of sulfuric acid, the
mass fraction of the nitric acid is 3.0%-5.0%, the
mass fraction of the sulfuric acid is 65%-68%, and meanwhile, the
molar ratio of the nitric acid in the first stream of mixed acid to the nitric acid in the second stream of mixed acid is controlled to be 2: 98-15: 85, so that the content of
nitrophenol compounds can be effectively reduced.
