The invention belongs to the field of
fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a production method of dihydric
alcohol, which comprises the following steps: a) olefin,
hydrogen peroxide, a
titanium silicalite
molecular sieve catalyst and a
solvent form a
uniform system through a
static mixer, then the
uniform system is sent to a dynamic tubular reactor for epoxidation reaction, and a
reaction product is subjected to liquid-
solid separation, a
liquid phase obtained through separation is sent to a first rectifying
tower; b) separating light and heavy components from the
liquid phase through a first rectifying
tower, and sending the separated heavy components to a
microreactor; and c) carrying out
hydrolysis reaction on the heavy components in the
microreactor, and carrying out second rectification on the reacted material to separate light and heavy components, thereby obtaining a heavy component, namely a dihydric
alcohol product. According to the method provided by the invention, a
static mixer and continuous equipment are adopted, so that the mixing and dissolving effect of raw materials is enhanced, introduction of
formic acid is avoided, and the problem of introduction of impurities is solved from the source; and meanwhile, the method does not adopt an acid / alkali catalyst, so that the introduction of sensitizers is avoided, the process flow is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved.
